Which is More Insulting: Be a Parasite or Have a Job?

I am ambivalent about Newt Gingrich, but he certainly pwnd a pro-welfare, pro-food stamp, pro-palamunin liberal.

Which is more insulting: be a freeloader/parasite or have a job? The liberal elites say you insult the poor- or you’re an anti-poor- if you’re against government-funded welfare. In reality, the liberals (or leftists) never help the poor with their leftist policies; they actually make the poor more dependent on the government. Their aim is to establish a 21st century plantation to sustain their liberal/leftist agenda.

Internet Giants Need to Show Who’s the Real Boss By Fighting Fire With Fire

The YouTube clip above gives a very brilliant, practical advice about how to effectively fight or stop SOPA or PIPA. We all know- and by “we” I mean people who religiously followed this issue- that America’s entertainment or movie industry is all behind the proposed destructive bills in Congress. Moneyed people in the entertainment industry and the bills’ supporters obviously seek to take on the Internet, or on the Internet’s major players like Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, etc.

If you read the legislative proposals, or skimmed through objective, honest commentaries about this issue, you would understand that the measures, if enacted into law, would put so much pressure on influential sites like Google, Facebook, and YouTube. For instance, the bills allow the U.S. government so much power that it may order Google or any related sites to block infringing “rogue” websites search results, and if Google failed or refused to comply with the order the latter would face the full force of the law.

Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia, and other social network sites and video-sharing channels are also an easy target of government censorship, political crackdown or even corporate envy.

Internet’s Largest Protest in History Works!

Good triumphs over evil. This is what you get when you defend your rights and freedom. But the fight is not yet over, as sponsors and makers of two destructive, evil legislative proposals, codenamed SOPA and PIPA, will stop at nothing to get what they want: pass their legislative lunacy at all cost and please their crony backers.

Yesterday, major websites such as Wikipedia, Google, WordPress, Mozilla, Reddit and a thousand others went on strike by going dark to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act, two legislative proposals passed in the US. Congress and in the Senate, respectively, disguised as new effective legal tools against intellectual property violations.

Today we all know that the Internet blackout, which sent a clear message to online users the world over, has started to have its desired effect, as co-sponsors of the legislation have switched sides and other lawmakers have called for more debate before any vote.

Internet Goes On Strike Vs Censorship

The Vincenton Post had gone dark a few hours ago today to protest two destructive bills proposed in the United States Congress. These legislative proposals, namely, the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act, are disguised as new effective legal tools against intellectual property violations.

Even though I’m not an American I’m fully aware that these statist bills, if passed, would affect me and all bloggers, webmasters and people who use, depend, rely on the Internet. Certain ambiguous, sweeping provisions of the bill cover foreign sites and internet users and bloggers abroad. This means that the United States government would be empowered or authorized to penalize or even shutdown foreign sites that allegedly breach copyright or IP right.

So while all mainstream media institutions in the Philippines are focused on the impeachment proceedings of the country’s chief justice, this site seeks to shed light on the censorship issue in the United States that determines the future of the Internet, which remains the symbol of freedom and free market enterprise.

Wikipedia Shrugs; Leads Protest Vs Twin Bitches SOPA and PIPA

Yes, imagine a World Without Free Knowledge...

Internet goes on strike! But wait! Where the heck is the Philippine’s mainstream media? Why the deafening silence?!

Allow me to infringe the copyright of Wikipedia by simply copy-pasting the  free, collaborative, multilingual Internet encyclopedia’s info-article. If you’re still not aware of this controversial issue in the United States, the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act are two legislative proposals passed in the U.S. Congress masquerading as new effective legal tools against intellectual property infringement. But: even if you’re not an American citizen or not living in the United States, don’t ever think you wouldn’t be affected by the vague, sweeping, ambiguous provisions of the bills. The following Wikipedia article tells why and why it launched a global blackout.

Why is Wikipedia blacked-out?

Wikipedia is protesting against SOPA and PIPA by blacking out the English Wikipedia for 24 hours, beginning at midnight January 18, Eastern Time. Readers who come to English Wikipedia during the blackout will not be able to read the encyclopedia. Instead, you will see messages intended to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA, encouraging you to share your views with your representatives, and with each other on social media.

Free Internet: The Last Stand of Freedom and Civilization

Wikipedia's shrugging...

The Internet is the next main target of government regulation and statism. In the United States, which remains the nucleus of innovation and technology, the Marxist Obama administration seeks to regulate the World Wide Web, which is the best symbol of freedom, human achievement, and civilization in the world today.

Two statist, anti-freedom, anti-innovation bills in the United States Congress– the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate– have been proposed by most Democrats and a number statist Republicans-by-name to regulate the Internet. Like all statist, fascist regulations and laws in the past, both SOPA and PIPA, we’re told, seek to serve the common good or the greater good. SOPA, if enacted into law, would increase the power of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods.

The Fallacy of Capitalist Exploitation

The video above explains that exploitation in a capitalist society- or a society that limits the power of government and that separates state and economy- is almost an impossible phenomenon. Exploitation, in reality, is only made possible by government through economic intervention (e.g., protectionism, cronyism, closed economy, subsidy, etc.) Government intervention protects, benefits and rewards incompetent and unproductive businessmen who either maintain close political connections with power-brokers or who happen to be  local or domestic employers. Economic protectionism is one of the worst economic ideas invented in the past two centuries. It is based on the premise that when a state or society protects its state-owned industries or local businessmen, the domestic economy would grow and be able to compete in the long run in the global market. The idea is to disallow or limit the entry of foreign investors who might pose an economic threat to the government’s state-owned industries or to local investors.

Real-world events prove that protectionism does not merely hurt domestic economies; it also punishes ordinary citizens who do not enjoy political connections and protection. Thus, protectionism is the cause of cronyism, bribery, graft and corruption, and almost all kinds of economic evils. For instance, a country that limits foreign ownership penalizes foreigners compelled by the system to use “dummies” in order to invest and to provide jobs to locals. According to the legal system of this protectionist state, foreigners who employ “dummies” are criminals who must be penalized by law. In other
