I cant help but wonder if Wikileaks might be a test case of what is about to follow. Think about it, if they can throw this guy in jail for 50 years, throw the other wiki staff and supporters in jail, jail people who simply read the website....then it becomes a threat to anyone who posts anything negative on the government anywhere on the internet. If this keeps up, in 5 or 10 years from now, a post like the one Im making now would get me hunted down anywhere in the world and jailed for life or dead.
Its like we are seeing the first shots fired in World War Three between the world governments and the people. George Orwell was so spot on in his book 1984. The only thing was he got the year wrong. |
If only America was trying to push a bill through that would allow it to just shut off websites without any courts or due process. They could pretend it was to stop CP or counterfeitting or something, then people would support it. Until a year later when Americanland uses this new bill to just shut off all anti-government sites. Then they could shut off all sites they didn't like altogether....
...Oh hang on a minute!!!!!!
