The internet is the closest thing we have to a true democracy. It is the only way to educate yourself for free, to research, to share, to do all the things that our system fails us 

The new laws if passed would take many of our (virtual) freedoms away & in effect be a corporate/government controlled cyberspace. Fat, Italian, fascist, pig-idiot Berlusconi wants bloggers to have a license, in effect censoring bloggers. This would be a terrible situation as the recent earthquake in L'Aquila proves. Italian Scientist  Giampaolo Giuliani predicted the Quake a week in advance & yet the mayor forced him to remove his findings from the internet contributing to the deaths of up to 300 people. So you see? Government controls internet: People die unnecessarily. And this seems to be the role of modern Governments. to kill people unnecessarily & to do things inefficiently, to fail us then somehow blame us for their failings. 

The internet has changed everything. Finally taking their monopoly away. We no longer have to believe their media hype, we can find things out for ourselves & they don't like it. It will be our only salvation. Without the internet all other forms of legitimate protest fall by the wayside. The internet literally is our base & we must protect it. In my view it is the most important thing to defend. Their plans are more dangerous to us ordinary folk than all the terrorists in the world united.

While I'm here I'd like to discuss another recent law passed in the UK. The law preventing anyone from filming cops. I mean what the fuck? In England where, for your protection you are filmed 1000's of times a day we are not allowed to film cops? Surely after the (illegally) filmed (thank god, otherwise it would certainly have been covered up) manslaughter of Ian Tomlinson by the police, not to mention the other cops illegally filmed beating protesters at the recent G20 protests it should be repealed forthwith. And the reason for this law? to prevent terrorists filming cops to target them as part of their Jihad. 

   What I would like to know is where is the evidence that this has even happened? If you were hell bent on targeting a cop, would a law forbidding you to take pictures of him actually prevent you from taking pictures of him? or hassling him? I'm just about sick of hearing about this bullshit. Terrorists have been active in most countries for fucking decades so why this law now? Before laws are passed there should be transparent reasons. The whole saga of liquids on planes. As i remember it those taken to court were convicted of 'Conspiracy to cause explosions' Nothing about planes in the final charges (correct me if i'm wrong) but still referenced to as the 'trans atlantic bomb plotters' in recent articles about the 12 who were recently arrested for a yet another 'imminent plot' details of which, for our security of course' were held back, & won't be revealed until their case comes to court in a year or so when it will be fixed in the public imagination that these lads, perhaps even goaded by police insiders (That is mere speculation of course) had some major plan to do something ghastly beyond belief. & the fact that the 12 were even arrested at all seemed to be a sideline to some other bizarre political childish infighting. This is why governments & corporations should not have control of the internet because it's basically a sixth form common room fighting & twatting around while making society more inefficient, more dumbed down,  & more fucked.
