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!

Congress Plays Political Theatre with the Corporate Socialist Executives of Goldman Sachs! What a Disgrace to Capitalism!

Nearly 10 hours of political theatre was conducted by a Senate investigations panel on Tuesday (April 27, 2010) to confront Goldman Sachs executives about their alleged nefarious financial scheme relating to the sub prime mortgage fiasco. As the proceedings began, President Obama conveniently had a press conference with some Keynesian economic weasel advisor standing next to him; he [Obama] went on a teleprompted rambling about how a "deficit commission" was needed to look into ways to bring down the the U.S. debt. The President got on his typical soapbox and blamed past administrations and Congresses for the high deficits (even though Obama has signed into law more government spending then all previous Presidents combined), and he called for an immediate government spending freeze but didn't go into detail on how deficits will be reduced (my prognostication; high, high, high taxes!).

After the media-stunt press conference by the President, the Senate panel's political theatre had already begun. The Senators acted as if they were trying to get to the bottom of something and the Goldman Sachs goons did the typical, "I don't recall" legal language. It was the biggest waste of time and an insult to the taxpayer's intelligence. But truth be told, all the actors (Corporate and Political) in this Socialist scheme are guilty of misleading clients and taxpayers alike.

I prognosticated on my Internet Radio Show around the time Stimulus Package 2 bill was passed, that this Liberal government was allowing an open raid on the American tax paying system for the purposes of using the engineered raid as grounds to push for Leftist legislation, massive government growth and Socialist-like economic policies; which the end goal is the destruction of true Capitalism. Remember this, Goldman Sachs and many other financial institutions would've never have gotten the "big bonuses" that Leftists love to tout if the Liberal regime itself had not given our tax dollars to these disgusting Corporate jokers in the name of "not letting them fail." If we would've let Goldman Sachs and other like-institutions to fail, the justice system (in a perfect America) would've pursued the Corporate culprits for their financial schemes, and we would've never have had these fake Senate hearings.

But the true purpose of the Senate investigations panel was to propagandize against Capitalism to the ill-informed and under-educated American public; and it worked! But let us not be fooled, the the U.S. government is Goldman Sachs and what these criminals have staged is not crooked Capitalism! Lest we forget that the Senators on the investigation panel were the biggest beneficiaries from the vary executives they were "questioning." Also lets remember the number of ex-Goldman Sachs executives littered throughout this Liberal regime. And to show you what kind of pull these Goldman Wall street Socialist have with our government, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, was questioned in private by the same side show Senate investigations panel in December of 2009; there are no transcripts, recordings or even notes relating to this private Q&A session.

The culmination of all this staging this week? Political positioning to force this Financial Reform Bill down the American public's throat so that this Liberal regime can redefine the economic mode of production and end true Capitalism. The public opinion after the fake Goldman Sachs hearing has already suppressed any potential Congressional opposition to this Financial Reform Bill. No official bill has been finalized as of yet (although that can change at any minute), but there's talk of adding laws against short sales of securities, expanding more incompetent (not to mention perverted) government bureaucracy into the private sector, giving economic authority to an international consortium, etc; all of which is anti-Free-Market, anti-Capitalism and pro-Socialism.

Once again, I call on all true Capitalists and Constitutionalists to stand up against these criminals in government office and these Wall street Socialists! I feel that its time for the radicalization of true Capitalists and all young people who will reap what all these Leftist are sowing for them today. We should utilize, refine and innovate the methods used by past Leftist radicals that preceded this Leftist dominated system. There's no time for parties, no time for personalities and no time for ideas that have been proven failures. Its time to fight for the idea that brought all of us into modernity, the idea that brought us prosperity and the idea that has been proven to truly inspire the greatest in men; Capitalism! If we don't fight now, we'll end up in complete disarray like Europe's current state of perpetual economic insolvency.
