After They Kill The Internet, Then What Will You Say?

Often times, these "end of the world" videos and rants come off as "loony" and many people just chalk it up as another conspiracy theory without giving it any serious consideration. In this case, however, Net Neutrality is a very real issue being dealt with by many legitimate organizations and is definitely not a conspiracy.

Here's a link to look at: http://www.savetheinternet.com/

But most importantly do your own research and make your own decisions. Google 'Net Neutrality' and see what you get on the web and in the news.

On a positive note the FCC has just ruled against Comcast in a landmark net neutrality decision. You can see some of the ruling here.

And there is how to properly word a post. It's not threatening, or over the top, or downright bizarre. It's informative, with relevant links, and it makes me want to look into the issue. You did your research and put some thought into what you (succinctly) posted.

Thanks for the info. It was my understanding that the idea of only getting access to a few basic websites and being forced to pay extra to go anywhere else on the Internet would be a violation of federal rules. In other words, ISPs can't block legal sites. But I was concerned about the idea of ISPs slowing access to certain sites, ie degradation or discrimination. Glad to see the FCC is addressing this.

wow.
i'm glad someone with sanity helped you see the light this time.
:rolleyes:

i guess if 9/10ths of humanity didn't need this bullshit spoon fed to them in baby bites, we'd fucking be a lot better off.

As it is, i reckon i'll continue on being "over the top" and simply regurgitate irrelevant crazy links,

and then god willing someone "sane" will come in to help translate it to the masses ...

who apparently can not think or research for themselves,
but respectfuly request that those who DO try and inform them provide all their research up for them on a nice little platter.

Yeah right.
wake the fuck up and do your own research people.

please.
this is shameless.

and thanks for the information in a non-sensationalized form, and for the crux of the matter, sans 'the sky is falling.' i don't consider it baby bites, but more like, the real focus of the issue. definitely something i want to read up on.

the people that didn't whine before when something got taken away from them....always seem to whine the loudest afterwards....

Amazing how that works....

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist." - Verbal Kint (The Usual Suspects)

I don't know why it isn't at all plausible to some people that there may be a small group of people (with all of the necessary resources within their grasp) who want to control the world? Didn't Hitler? Or Caesar? Are people today any better than them really?

Why didn't they succeed? I think, for a few reasons, one being that they probably just needed more help. More people at the top, with more control over more industry. The other reason being that they were too outright and vocal about what they were doing... Maybe the better way to accomplish their goals would have been to go about their operations more secretively?

Ever want to work for the most incredibly prestigious company in the world? Have the life? Basically take yourself the farthest you can go, as far as being 'successful'? What if this company was so elite, that it was basically secret? Too keep it secret, you had to be initiated in some strange way? I think that's what the Bilderbergers / Bohemian Grovers / etc think of themselves, and that's what they do.

I think human nature is proof enough that people will never be satisfied, and will always thirst for more wealth, and if wealth is maxed out, then power, and ultimately control. I think there have been more than enough examples in history to prove that there are people who want to take over the world-- regardless of whether, under their reign, it becomes a sunshiney happy place, or if it becomes hell on earth. These people are that selfish.

Now, I'm not sure that everything Drifting or Roland or anyone posts on here is 100% what is actually happening ALL OF THE TIME, but I think to dismiss all of it all together doesn't make any sense, for the above reasons.

I wouldn't doubt that controlling the internet could be on their agenda, especially if this "THEY" exists. You need permits to protest in many places these days, you need to give out your social security number more than ever, you can't take $10,000 out of the bank without notifying the IRS, etc... Something's up.

My2hands, you don't have to answer this post, but just take a second and think about if you wanted to make the whole world your own little game-- where everyone ultimately had to answer to you, or ultimately serve you in some way, how would you do it? Could you do it alone? Would you have to pull it off in such a way that no one knew you were doing it?

Again, I don't know if this is exactly what's going on... But I don't think humanity has evolved to the point where these egomaniacal assholes no longer exist in our gene pool. By simple laws of percentages, I think there's probably more out there than ever before. More people who will fuck, suck, lie, cheat, steal, and kill anything to get to the top... And you really can't take solace in the fact that they ultimately won't be happy when they get there-- because your life is getting ruined in the process.

The best argument against this idea of the "elite" is that, the elite are so elite, that they should ultimately hate each other... Screw each other over, expose each other when they can't all be #1... When being #25 out of 6 Billion just doesn't cut it, and you're bitter about it, it's time to let the cat out of the bag! Sometimes, you'll see some heads roll, and you have to wonder if that's what happened? They snuffed out the threat to the whole criminal operation. That's pretty much how the mob works. There IS a Don. He IS #1, and there are plenty who will be satisfied being #2, #3, etc, so much that the rats will die, for their own self-protection, and protection of the racket. And let's not forget...

La Cosa Nostra existed for years in secrecy, through a vow of silence. It worked quite well for a very long time. Who's to say that these far more wealthy, and educated haven't improved upon that system? They have even bigger guns at their disposal...

They also succeeded for so long because they had the then head of the FBI (JE Hoover) blackmailed with homosexual photographs and veiled threats of violence.

of course, that would be a ... gasp ... CONSPIRACY ...

and god knows neither the Government nor the "mob" was EVER involved in one of those.
