January 18, 2012: The Day The Internet Citizens of the World Made The U.S. Government Crack!


For the past several months, the U.S. government hasn't been able to agree on anything; taxes, government spending, foreign policy, the economy, etc. But miraculously, these bureaucrats in Washington D.C. came together in a "bipartisan" effort to push two pieces of legislation that threatened the Freedom of the Internet; the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) & Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA). And why not? The Movie and Music Industry paid for these bills to be created and passed to the tune of over $90 million in campaign contributions in 2011 (over $100 million in 2010). So its no coincidence, even amidst economic and international uncertainty, that Congress gave this issue special attention.

Although the Movie and Music industries attempted to buy the monopolization of creativity into law, the Internet Citizens of the world came together and rallied against this issue in unison. On January 18, 2012, a virtual protest that encompassed regular Internet users to multinational corporations was planned, implemented and (thanks to all of you) was successful. Because all of us did our part in this historic virtual protest (blogs, vlogs, Tweets, blackouts, phone calls, etc) the government cracked under the pressure.

This is not only a victory for the Internet Citizens of the world but it should show all that if the majority of the masses rally behind one issue, cause or idea, the government will bow to the will of the people. Because of our efforts to organize millions of people behind this issue, the sponsors of SOPA and PIPA are back peddling away from the legislation. Even if these bureaucrats are now back away from this issue, they should still be voted out of office; for their support for SOPA & PIPA is proof that are not public servants.

We should not only remember January 18th 2012 for its Internet success, but it should serve as a reminder that this a government made for the people and by the people. We accomplished more in one day of virtual protests than Occupy Wall Street did with their waste of time, energy and taxpayer money attempt at civil disobedience (they accomplished absolutely nothing after months of turning parks into bio-hazard areas). Let this be a lesson to those that actually want to change the system, instead of panhandling the system like pathetic derelicts.

We did it Internet Citizens! Take a bow, for the last time the government cracked under this type of pressure was the era of the Civil Right Act. Bravo to you all!

Newt Gingrich Should Come Out of the Bureaucratic Closet; We Now Know You're A Socialist!

It seems that a bureaucrat's quest for power knows no limits; especially when the bureaucrat in question claims to be Republican, Conservative and pro-Capitalist. Well it shouldn't surprise those who've observed the theatrical stage of politics that Newt Gingrich is pulling no Socialist-propaganda punches in a self-serving attempt at getting the GOP presidential nomination in 2012.

Since his [Gingrich] fall from political grace in the 90's, Newt has spent his time as a political insider, a lobbyist, a commentator/lecturer and a book writer. Prior to Newt's political life, he worked in the bureaucratic education system as a history teacher. Not once has this man made a genuine attempt to be successful in the private sector, and any revenue created from his so-called "for-profit" ventures are directly related to his political career. So its no coincidence that Gingrich is utilizing Socialist-like propaganda to attack Mitt Romney for his tenure at the private equity firm Bain Capital.

Those related to the Gingrich campaign have gone as far as to create a Liberal-like propaganda documentary specifically to demonize Mitt Romney as a greedy Gordon Gekko sociopath Capitalist. Its a movie aimed at exploiting the viewer of their empathy with emotional vampirism and Leftist propaganda. Below is the trailer to this cinematic sleaze.


Certainly if I hadn't of mentioned that Newt Gingrich was the culprit behind this trash documentary, one would've assumed that David Axelrod and the Obama campaign were behind this film. But as you can see, this is a desperate and pathetic attempt by a lifelong bureaucrat trying to obtain power at all costs; even at the expense of hypocrisy.

The reason Gingrich thinks he can get away with this nonsense is because, like most bureaucratic weasels, he thinks his political wit and snake charm can bamboozle the people into believing him; even when he lies. This type of egotistical grandeur is not uncommon to career politicians. Many politicians feel they have a "natural ability" to persuade and evade the whole truth with linguistic trickery (that's why most of them are lawyers).

But I think Gingrich has reached into the well of crookedness once too often, because not even the "Occupy Wall Street" sentiment that he's attempting to tap into is conjuring up mass support. On the contrary, I think he has committed political suicide by attacking Capitalism, for he has no more credibility with anyone who obliges the Capitalist ideals. At this point, he should just become Socialist in hopes of winning the institutionalist Liberals who hate Capitalists, champion bureaucratic expansion and use public service as an opportunity to be a mini-dictator who thinks they're above the law.

I call on all Capitalists worldwide not to support Newt Gingrich or anyone who attempts to demonize the economic model that has brought the industrial, technological and scientific revolutions into reality. The economic model that brought Humanity into modernity and advanced civilization more than anything else in the world; Capitalism! Without us [Capitalists] most of the world would still be living in the Dark Ages.
