Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - fightforthefuture.org/​pipa

PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement." The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill. According to the CBO, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.

  • The governments of the peoples included in this world republic,with the aid of the victorious proletariat, all will fall without difficulty into Jewish hands.Private property will then be strangled by the Jewish directors,who will administer the state patrimony everywhere.Thus the promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled,that is,the promise that the Jews,at the arrival of the Mesiah,will possess the key to the wealth of all the peoples of earth

    Read this book for free on internet WHO IS ESAU-EDOM

  • keep in mind big things start small before going pandemic ! otherwise people wouldn't accept them :

    When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.

    When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.

    When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.

    When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew.

    When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

  • The internet is vast and infinte do they realize how much money this would cost and who do you think will flip the bill if this goes into law? John Q Public that's who. This is another extortion attempt form corporations.

  • This is just plain fucked up!
