Long live the internet, it has changed our lives, mostly for the better.

Funny, North-Korea let people only listen to 3 radio-channels. Here the government lets you listen to all, but its illegal to emit on the fm-frequencies. So what's the difference? Here they also control who the people can listen to...

the same thing that was used against us all, has been used to save us all...but some realize this. How bad does it have to get before people understand that corporations are Zionist and there is a problem of sharing Free Energy. Hydrogen or should I say Cold Fusion?

@zephranna01 yes I mean that - we need a new civilisation (inform about the venus project) [but I don't think that gay rights are death knell for society]

[Robsshot]

@zephranna01 No - it's the beginning of a new society - we are now in the transormation phase - but I don't think we do it if we continue like we do now.

He makes a lot of interesting points, Curtin Students doing 503 and 303 it is worth hearing as much as possible, He talks a bit too quick in places. The North Korean example is interesting. Imagine if we can only get certain web pages. However, as the solar panel example shows, the net filter in Australia will be gotten around.
