DRM+youtube
The 911 truth set is up in arms about youtube’s new beta and digital rights management. Digital Rights Management means you have no rights and what you are allowed to see is managed. Not “censored” mind you it’s managed. C.R.A.P is an apt name for it.

They are advising people so inclined to archive 911 “news” footage for close analysis hoping we can beat the snot out of media with their own footage later.
“Controversial” stuff gets snuffed off the internet all the time.
In light of this primary I would suggest the same technique but I fear the inevitable.
Remember when AOL and myspace were “cool” new places on this new internet thing. Note the vacuous plastic face they present today, ever trying to monopolize by institutionalizing their software around their site exclusive of all else. Trying to make two-way communication back into one-way.
Smurf Control is what we call this.

It categorizes sites and puts them into the most Orwellian sounding classes. It is really blatant and offensive as censorship goes. Propagandamatrix is classified as “intolerance and hate”. I stopped access at work during lunch when my faves started coming up as “weapons”, yup that is correct, weapons.
Even Google is becoming non-descript. Gone are the pages upon pages of rants about the Satan inside concepts of digital rights management. Well it was several years ago, did bitching only delay it.
Vista, a bloated piece of crap only usable with ten gigabytes of memory wants the computer to totally personalize itself to me. Ha, no thanks I can wait a little on the SWAT team and the black helicopters.
Microshaft+Longhorn
And what does one get? Certainly not the page after page of YOU ORWELLIAN SATANISTS that appeared four years ago. No instead Microshaft has once again applied predatory business practices by institutionalizing them across the entire IT spectrum.
Hey, maybe with all the breadlines internet access will soon be long gone anyway. HR 1955 and S 1959, mine and my wife’s birth years….See ya’ll at the FEMA/Wackenhut/CCA “re-education” centers!

The Psycho Pill – Creating Terminators?
This was posted at OOIBC this past Sunday by The Buffalo In The Midst from My Buffalo River Home.
It is one of the saddest, most disgusting and sickest things I have have ever heard of being done to troops in Iraq by their leaders that I can recall. It turns my stomach. I am reposting it here FYI, because I think everyone needs to know this is being done….
Lean Mean (Drugged) Killing Machines – HR3256 Psychological Kevlar Act of 2007
Pentagon’s new lethal weapon
Sun, 20 Jan 2008 22:55:17The US Department of Defense’s wide-ranging ‘warfighter enhancement program’ is preparing grounds for the most lethal weapon ever.
Pentagon’s ‘the Psychological Kevlar Act of 2007’ puts forward the idea of using different drugs to insulate combat soldiers from the stressful psychological element of killing.
The move not only desensitizes them to the horrendous aspect of war, but also maximizes soldiers’ lethality by bypassing their moral autonomy.
Analyst Penny Coleman criticizes Pentagon’s attempt to peddle magic pills to chase away the horrors of war, saying: “The neurological and genetic re-engineering of soldiers’ minds and bodies is aimed at creating what the Pentagon calls ‘iron bodied and iron willed personnel… tireless, relentless, remorseless, and unstoppable.”
Barry Romo a national coordinator for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, also denounces the plan: “That’s the devil pill, that’s the monster pill, the anti-morality pill. That’s the pill that can make men and women do anything and think they can get away with it. Even if it doesn’t work, what’s scary is that a young soldier could believe it will.”

Pony Party: Coming Up Lame!
A great big Hollywood-style, cleavage-flashing welcome, Pony Party People, from both me and my very newest BFF, the legendary Miss Carmen Electra (save the snide remarks, okay? Without her there’s not going to be a whole lot of cleavage going on, so just be nice, you hear?). Tonight’s very special pre-Valentine’s Day edition of the Pony Party is brought to you by Carmen’s latest venture, the “Electra-Pole Professional Pole Kit,” which combines just two of her many talents — dancer and an “expert in seduction” – in one exciting product!
Right about now, you’re probably wondering, “Just how exciting is it?” Well, according to the press release:
“It’s the first professional dance pole designed for use in the home.”
Pretty great, huh? In fact, they could stop the sales pitch right there, if you ask me, right after the words “professional dance pole.” Because here’s something we can probably all agree on – those amateur poles are just not happening. And now, thankfully, those days are over!
So far, so good. But wait … there’s more! Just in case you’re not convinced yet, the British distributor, Peekaboo Palace, has come up with the Five Big Reasons to Buy.
1. “Ready to unleash your inner sexiness?” (Oh, hell, yeah — who isn’t?)
2. “Perform any kind of move, like spins and flips and even inverts.” (Excellent, I been waiting to cross those off the To Do list.)
3. It “goes up and down” in a mere five minutes. (A personal favorite — no more time wasted on account of pesky set-up problems with those amateur poles.)
4. Perfect for experts and beginners, too, the Electra-Pole will have you “dancing and spinning around with more basic moves as you find your pole dancing feet.” (Feet? Pole dancing is about feet? Okay, if you say so.)
5. “It will help you get the body of your dreams today!” (First thought – somebody’s been hitting the hyperbole bottle pretty hard. But who knows? Maybe it really depends on what body you’re dreaming about.)
