John Stossel – Ruling The Internet

FK – We can’t blindly trust the govt. or the damned corporations. They consider us to be livestock. There is nothing more important to understand than that. We must constantly hold a knife to their throats to force them to respect us.

FK – The Brits turned their guns into their govt. without a fight so they fully deserve whatever is done to them.

David Cameron to unveil new limits on extremists’ activities in Queen’s speech

The measures would give the police powers to apply to the high court for an order to limit the “harmful activities” of an extremist individual. The definition of harmful is to include a risk of public disorder, a risk of harassment, alarm or distress or creating a “threat to the functioning of democracy”.

FK – Oh dear, how dare someone endanger democracy, the newest way to keep the slaves working.

Limiting the abilities of those who actively work to destroy human Liberty would involve throwing more commies out of western society than ragheads. Simple fact. We should’ve started that long ago. They’re the ones who let the fundie rageheads gain so much power in Europe.

Prime example:

Google controls what we buy, the news we read — and Obama’s policies

A former Google officer is the president’s chief technology adviser. Google employees contributed more to President Obama’s re-election than did employees of any other company except Microsoft. Google lobbyists met with Obama White House officials 230 times. By comparison, lobbyists from rival Comcast have been admitted to the inner sanctum a mere 20 or so times in the same period.

Oh, and on Election Night 2012, guess where Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt was? Working for the president. In the president’s campaign office. On a voter-turnout system designed to help the president get re-elected.

Google says that in the future, its determinations about what is true and what is untrue will play a role in how search-engine rankings are configured.

Google has the power to bump an article it doesn’t like off the table and under the rug. Even moving information off the first page of search results would effectively neutralize it: According to a 2013 study, 91.5 percent of Google search users click through on a first-page result.

FK – The press is only ‘free’ for those who own one. The internet gave everyone a press. They’d like to change that.

Facebook Reveals its Master Plan – Control All News Flow

FK – I’m all for the abruptly dying part… Even though I recently got back on FB, only to push my site, until they boot me off again.

Congressman Steve King: How can Jews ‘be Democrats first and Jewish second’?

Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) said he couldn’t understand how “Jews in America can be Democrats first and Jewish second” and support the way President Barack Obama is dealing with Israel, in an interview with Boston Herald Radio Friday.

“There were some 50 or so Democrats that decided they would boycott [Netanyahu’s] speech … I don’t understand how Jews in America can be Democrats first and Jewish second and support Israel along the line of just following their president,” King told Boston Herald Radio’s “Boston Herald Drive” program.

“It says this, they’re knee-jerk supporters of the president’s policy,” the congressman added.

When asked on the show if anti-Semitism was a factor – it’s not clear whether the host was referring to Obama’s policies – King said yes, alongside “plain liberalism,” according to CNN.

FK – If you’re living in the United States and don’t put this country and our Liberty and the Bill of Rights first you don’t belong here much less deserve to be here!!!!!
