CISPA is BackIf you governmental or corporate assholes are seeing this, piss off right now.
To those who aren't those leeches, CISPA, the privacy-ending bill, is back. Those who are familiar with SOPA and PIPA should pretty much be aware of what CISPA, the 'Cyber Intelligence Sharing & Protection Act'. If not, listen up.
CISPA is essentially the opposite of the other two; Instead of limiting information, this bill will open up all floodgates, allowing ALL information flow freely. When I say 'all', I mean everything from your computer; Private files, 'stashes', personal information, etc. Private corporations and governmental branches will be able to view all this info as they desire, and all on the paranoid-as-f*** assumption that it's a 'cyber-threat'.
Their definition of a cyber-threat:
1. Efforts to degrade, disrupt or destroy government or private systems and networks.
2. Theft or misappropriation (in this context, it means 'wrongful borrowing') of private or government information, in
ApocalypseDeserted land
Metal wires fallen down
Stones stand silent
And reflect burning sun

Iron pillars
Blood red with their rust
Water dried out
Or turned into poison

A bright apocalypse
Fallout of our shredded lies
Waves of radiation
Awakened the waiting dead

Pulses of heat
Now surge through our brains
We crawl with no skin
Mouths open to wonder

With burn out eyes
We smell the solar wind
As it blows howling
Through collapsed walls of steel

Piles of bodies are
Consumed by the wretched
No fake morality
To lead us to one purpose

We choke on sterile dust
So self aware and content
Consciousness redirected
To beautiful simplicity

In deserted land

Attack On The 1st Amendment - School Shooting
The Connecticut police put out a statement in a press conference saying anyone "spreading misinformation about the school shooting will be prosecuted"

What?

Why?  Isn't the official story a crazed 20 year old gunman with asperger's syndrome snapped, and entered a school with a gun killed over 20 people and then killed himself?

How is "spreading misinformation" a problem, if the investigators know who did it, why they did it, and there is indefinitely no other shooter?  Investigation is done, everything else is just procedure.

People's facebook's are being suspended/banned for talking about the school shooting and asking questions. DID YOU

This is from a movie?
I'd say his eyes are a tad big, but it's still well expressive. Looks a little more shocked than mad though ^^'

The actor Peter Finch (1916-1977) as newsman Howard Beale, "who was killed because he had lousy ratings."

The fact is, despite what everybody says about being mad as hell and not-gonna-take-it-anymore, people DO continue to "take it". They've been taking it for 37 years since this movie was made and there's not the slightest indication that people are going to suddenly stop taking it now.

I've read before that the idea of "Network" was instigated by the on-air suicide of a TV news-reporter named Christine Chubbuck. That happened in Sarasota FL in 1974.

very interesting background info, thank you for posting it. I'd have to agree that things have gotten worse. A democracy is only effective if its citizens are informed and caring. I see a plague of people who only care for themselves and trivial matters, such as sports, video games, and television. Our measure of success and happiness is greatly distorted through popular media... so much so that everyone is confused and is constantly seaching for that object that will someday make them happy. They chase the happiness carrot that is perpetually provided by the craftiest of manipulators (advertising and political rhetoric). All in all people are raised like cattle, although, instead of being butchered and consumed, they are taught to be little more than "good" consumers themselves....
