They have set the wheels in motion to restrict the internet, we all know that the internet is probably one of the only places where free speech and thoughts are allowed, where you can access so much info, mainstream and alternative. Its all about control. they only want you to read what they want. Fortunately the many many millions of users are protesting about this. Its not about the piracy, its about control and complete takeover of what content they want us to read. And in the case of Wikileaks, we now know what shocking lies and crimes they tried to conceal. 

The arrogance of the United States authorities is incredible. Those using file-sharing sites (including Megaupload) are not all doing so illegally. By shutting down Megaupload they will not only have wiped out all the illegal uploads, but millions of legal ones too. Anybody who has lost their own personal material that they uploaded to Megaupload so it could be shared should sue the U.S. government for compensation.

US government euphemisms.... Extraordinary rendition = Kidnapping.... Enhanced Interrogation = Torture.... Expedite with extreme prejudice = Assassination....says a great deal. Now even us non-US citizens, anywhere in the world can be renditioned and subjected to "justice" in a foreign land, by a country that has decided to become the internet "police" of the world.

And to think that Romney and the others are beating the drums of war, against Iran now. God, what bloody future we can look forward to?
