Thanks to the Sherminator for the link. I
saw a brief clip of Cary $herman on TechTV.
Man, he looks so gay (and not in a good way)
with those big collagen filled looking
lips..what a jerkoff!
ANYWAY!!!!....
You know, we have some of the most
articulate and best thinking posters on any
boards,and when I post late on a topic, I
feel like most of what I would say has
already been said. That said, everyone is
right.
When I was younger, you didn't have to sit
through a bunch of commercials for Joe Boxer
underwear,coke, and everything, before you
got to see the coming trailers (more ads,
this one for other movies). You didn't pay
for the privilege of seeing their
commercials, hell, why do we get TV free
that has commercials, and pay to see them at
the movies? Wanna REALLY free the MPAA and
RIAA out? OK, at LEAST for August (a big
movie month), let's pledge not to go see any
movies or anyone buy any CDs during that one
month, as an obvious and clear reaction to
what the two bunchesa are doing this
month...We can use the old Hegellian Dialect
on them as well, problem,reaction,solution.
Problem, they are criminal arseholes.
Reaction, we keep money from you.
Solution..they better stop what they are
doing.
It's not like if you don't see the movie or
buy the CD this month it will disappear. It
will be around and cheaper next month when
they can't unload product. By the way, there
is a class action lawsuit filed about the
commercials being shown before movies...

Now,some serious thoughts and a rant about
what we can do,should do, and how to turn
this trend of attacking citizens around...
We are not being given adequate coverage,
and will not receive balanced reporting of
our side. As everyone so properly said, we
are dealing with the media, who are in an
incestuous relationship with all aspects of
the entertainment industry. We are in a
country that, when the bush league prez sees
his rating falling faster than stock in Sony
corp, "miraculously", the iraqi brothers of
tweedledum and tweedledee, get found and
killed. And, when they post their pictures,
you look at the first picture, the one of
Qusay, on the picture left/(his right) along
the cheek/eye line, it is clear that picture
was doctored, and you don't have to be an
adobe photoshop wiz to see it. They could
have just as well shaved too dead panda
bears and said..."yup, this is them".
Now,(I'm going on a rant now)...history
teaches us that English copyright law,
started around 400 years ago as a result of
the media moguls (printing press owners)
greed, combined with the government(king)
desire to control free speech. I kinda see
this tradition is just rolling along 4
centuries later here. I imagine one of the
biggest headaches of the gov now is that
what was a government project (Arpanet)
which became the internet, got out of gov
control. It was only the involvement of
college people that the military needed for
technical assistance, that let civils get
their hands on this protocol. If you only
had a few media moguls controlling most of
the entertainment and "news" like Rupert
Murdock (from Australia) then the gov could
control what people hear,see, and think.
Hence the push to change FCC rules to let
Clear Channel buy up everything. The
internet is like the Wild West. They are
trying to control P2P in the guise of
fighting "piracy" (Avast me hearty, where is
me patch), but the problem for them is that
there are lots of alternative things out
there that people can freely exchange, like
the documentaries by Alex Jones, David Icke,
and more, that attempt to give us the
non-party line about things.
In the past, I've dealt with these
politicos, usually you actually interface
with their assistants and aides, but people
like Hatch have an agenda, and most of the
time, it involves Hatch,not the people he
allegedly represents. There is more "one
hand washes the other" in Washington DC than
at an Obsessive Compulsive sufferer
convention. More and more, people in polls
have expressed that they don't trust what
the main network news tries to stuff down
their throats. News is managed, plain and
simple. Look at the Lacy Peterson (or
petersen) stuff. Do we really think that, in
the whole world, this was the only story
that was really important? It's what they
wanted us to think about. In magic, you have
a basic tool called misdirection. In
philosophy, there is the so-called Hegellian
Dialect. You control people through problem,
reaction,solution. You convince them of a
serious problem (all this piracy supports
the evil terrorists just like drug taking
supports terrorists, and driving SUVs
supports terrorists,and we need to take away
your civil liberites under the Patriot Act
to fight terrorists) get their reaction
(oooh,I'm scared of terrorists) and have the
solution...Patriot Act, DMCA, and on and on.
We have tremendous power and they know it.
They will do everything they can to fragment
us and promote interfaction fighting and
disagreement. All the money for the RIAA
comes from the public. All the money for the
government, comes from the people. The gov
does not create weath, it sits atop the
population like a giant leech, sucking what
it can from the body politic. The media does
the same. One Russian leader said religion
was the opiate of the masses. He was wrong,
entertainment is. And governments since Rome
have known that when things are bad in the
country and outside the country, you
misdirect their attention with "bread and
circuses" or now, cheetos and Big Brother.
As a side note, isn't it interesting that we
have this "reality" show called "Big
Brother" where people live in a house, have
intrigues and turn on each other voting
against each other, and that money is
finally given to the last one there? It
associates something good coming from being
the darling of Big Brother. Also, notice the
other shows where you have people being
watched by cameras during their day. Of
course, this is entertainment, and couldn't
subliminally get us used to be being
watched. Around the country, more and more
cameras are being silently placed to watch
public areas. There is a move toward
digitizing everything (for easy assimilation
into databases and database interface) from
high def TVs, to the so-called "digital
check act" which was recentlyd debated in
Congress (and shown in CSPAN) Think about
all these bills that are being introduced
and the bizarre nature of them. Of course,
we have the Patriot Act I in place, and
before long, Patriot Act II (already leaked
onto the net and already agreed that it is
being moved toward a vote) will be law, but
how about Conyers and Berman trying to make
file trading a felony?
Felons can come under provisions of the
Patriot Act (both I and II) and they can rob
you of any constitutional rights once you
are covered under those provisions. Mass
criminalization by the DMCA, and assorted
bills, what is the purpose? We already have
the largest population of people in prison
in the world. Overcrowding is a serious
problem, especially in Texas.
The government has , in its heart of hearts,
a very poor opinion of the public. We are
the "great unwashed" to them. They have an
aristocratic view as serfs and peasants. We
have a president who was voted against by
the popular vote. In Texas, their governor
keeps trying to shove redistricting down the
throats of the voters over and over through
special sessions, even though, in public
hearings, the voters have vehemently and
angrily said they don't want it. Especially,
by Hispanic-Americans who know that the
attempt is to get them represented by people
who don't care about their concerns (the
dilution of Hispanic-American
representation).
The government tries to keep us focussed on
other issues, and prays we don't start
acting and voting as one.
You can bet, that if we start coalescing as
a formidable, motivated unit, there will be
a national story like another strike by
"terrorists" that will take over the news
and redirect people's attention.
To see what our government actually had
plans for at one time, look at :
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/northwoods. html Here is a brief quote:
"Operation Northwoods called for a war in
which many patriotic Americans and innocent
Cubans would die senseless deaths, all to
satisfy the egos of twisted generals back in
Washington, safe in their taxpayer financed
homes and limousines.
One idea seriously considered involved the
launch of John Glenn, the first American to
orbit the earth. On February 20,1962, Glenn
was to lift off from Cape Canaveral,
Florida, on his historic journey. The flight
was to carry the banner of America's virtues
of truth, freedom, and democracy into orbit
high over the planet. But Lemnitzer and his
Chiefs had a different idea. They proposed
to Lansdale that, should the rocket explode
and kill Glenn, "the objective is to provide
irrevocable proof that . . . the fault lies
with the Communists et al Cuba [sic.]"
Look on Google for "operation northwoods".
Also, how many have kept up with the various
other movements to monitor what we are doing
, like the RFID chips (radio frequency
idenfication)
http://www.nocards.org
Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but you
have to look at these disparate,
bizarre,draconian movements by the gov and
the media (two big controllers of what we
can do legally and what we choose to do
"freely"). Media and government shape
culture.
A good link that presents documentation
about this stuff is:

Look where we are. We are in serious
economic problems with an expanding national
debt, and bush is giving money away like
water. We are in undeclared wars and now,
sending troops to liberia. Bush has been
said to have a 63 country hit list. And, our
civil liberties are being whittled away with
acts and bills right and left, turning
almost anything into a crime. I have also
heard the gov has scheduled a constitutional
convention at which, they could conceivably
rewrite the constititution, and yes, if they
did, you could lose ALL constutional rights,
since they are words on paper (although we
are supposed to be endowed with unalienable
rights, they could pen them away to all
intents and purposes...you could have the
right to be free to pursue life and liberty
in a jail cell).
I am really concerned about this.
The only thing that must occur for evil to
triumph is for good men (and women) to do
nothing. Those who would give up a measure
of liberty in exchange for security, deserve
neither (Franklin).
Our forefathers would be terrified and
sickened to see what is happening to our
laws and to the copyright and trademark
systems. Copyright law, which is supposed to
encourage and protect creation, has now
become a weapon of intimidation by the media
whores.
The thing the media and gov fear most is
that we all start working together, that we
demand the media quit hiding this issue, and
that we continue exposing the evil on the
Net, and to our friends and loved ones. They
only have the power we allow them to have
through our silence and apathy. It's time to
put salt on the leeches my brothers and
sisters. Their treachery , like vampires,
fear the light of day and exposure to the
searing heat of the truth.
Fight the good fight and become informed and
involved. They need to hear the march of 200
million feet heading toward the voting box
and the empty sound of no money buying their
crap in hollywood. We already have the
power, now let's use it!
Peace out!
