If you thought SOPA and PIPA were bad, let us introduce you to their Big Brother, ACTA.
Just because SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) & PIPA (Protect IP Act) have been derailed (for the moment) in the US doesn’t mean the fight is over. The giant media corps that are behind that endeavor are global in […]
This is an enlightening and disturbingly revealing discussion on the radically expanding levels of online surveillance that governments and corporations are able to wield today over your personal information on the internet.
It is about the new technology of “mass surveillance,” referred to as “strategic interception,” where corporations are helping to enable governments to record and […]

Anyone who questions what the Occupy Wall Street movement is about, or why it should be supported, needs to read/watch this. Here […]
Gerald Celente, publisher of The Trends Journal, calls out the political class, and the fraudulence of our political system today. This short little interview pretty much sums up the key reasons of the hows and whys behind the corrupting nonsense which plagues governance. The revolving door nexus between corporate power and government, the “money junkies” […]
