Tomorrow, This Site Is Dead. Why? All my sites go off-line tomorrow in what-is-to-be-hoped a world-wide protest against the proposed SOPA & PIPA acts in the USA. SOPA? Briefly. Under intense lobbying from the entertainment industry behemoths, the law, far from protecting copyright holders like myself, will actually make it a simple process for any [...]

There’s a lot of hatred in the UK that we all have to pay a ‘licence’ fee to watch TV. Some people say that it gives quality and independence to the Corporation. Others have commented on the corridors full of empty champagne bottles… Recent scandals like the Jonathan Ross affair have seen the BBC ‘fined’ [...]

G20 UK Protests – an Appraisal Following on from this post about the protest(s) the other day and the obviously censored reporting, we can now look back for a little unheated analysis.

Chinese Censorship: As part of the BBCs “take” on the international views on the new, 44th President of the United States, their China correspondent Michael Bristow has reported that his inauguration speech was censored in China. Apparently, the English version on the Xinghua News site is okay, but the Chinese version for the locals has [...]

I’ll repeat that: “[...]and pray about that also,…I think,…God’s Will has to be Done in Unifying People and Companies to Get that Gas Pipeline Built” – Sarah Palin, potential Vice President of America. This is astounding and a most bizarre speech of encouragement to make to educated people in a modern Western Democracy. No it [...]

Don’t let Sarah Palin’s obvious organisational ability and her successful prosecution of a hunt against corruption fool you into believing that she is anything but a nutter.  Two rights do not make a thousand wrongs.  There are many brave people around. Buddhism says that anyone has the Buddha nature within them, at all times.  Simultaneanity [...]

More on the Julius Baer (un)Trust(worthy) goings on with WikiLeaks. I’ve uploaded the documents as a public service. If everyone does this then they can’t close everyone!

Today, like many others, I’ve set up a pointer to the IP address for Wikileaks. So you can still find it at http://wikileaks.foetusproducts.com This is because of the on-going censorship of the site, brought about by the Baer bank in Switzerland. I jabbered about this subject here in an earlier post and haven’t changed my [...]
