What is SOPA?

SOPA, known as the Stop Online Piracy Act is a act, similar to the sister legislation “Protect-IP Act”. Both sounds good on paper, per say. The idea is to have the ability given to either shutdown those websites allowing copyright infringment, or the search engines to de-link their sites from their systems. By doing so, you will either stop the sites, but shutting it down, or being unable to do a search for said sites, thus reducing the traffic to them.

So if it’s for a good cause, whats the problem?

The problem is how the legislation is handling the issue of piracy, and copyright infringement. In the past of downloading music illegally, the RICA (Recording Industry Association of America) took the initial approach in attempting to sue individuals by laying claim of lost revenue. Normally, these individuals would have 1000 plus songs downloaded. But they hit a snag in our antiquated court systems. How do you really prove little Johnny downloaded it off the neighbors open WIFI? Then RICA began to pursue the colleges, other larger targets to shutdown the means for little Johnny to download the 1.3 meg song. This only gave RICA a bad look to most by appearing to be a bully.

Incidentally, “38% of Swedish artists supports file downloading and claim that it can be helpful during early stages of the career. A Swedish band that has profited from filesharing is the rock group “Lamont.”

It appears Congress is taking the similar approach as RICA once did. Rather than stop the bleeding, cut off the arm/leg.

What does this amount to then?

The way these two legislation pieces are attempting to handle this, is the concern. In the name of copyright, this attempt is about control, and infringement of free speech (to a degree).

Venture capitalist Fred Wilson notes:

Big companies . . . can afford to defend themselves from litigious content companies. But three person startups cannot. And Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube were three person startups not so long ago. If they had not had the protection of the safe harbors of the DMCA, they could have been litigated out of business before they even had a chance to grow and develop into the powerhouses they have become. And venture capitalists will think more than twice about putting $3mm of early stage capital into startups if they know that the vast majority of the funds will go to pay lawyers to defend the companies instead of to hire engineers to create and build product.

This is said well. Now the larger companies are positioned to speak with those in Congress, and have the money to support their own sites, and avenues, they care little for another possible company to start-up and grow. It’s similar to playing a Monopoly game. Once your on top, you don’t what the other guy/girl to start buying houses, increasing their revenue. Yet, unlike a Monopoly game, this is the real world, where food is required to be put on the table.

I would urge all to look into these two legislation and similar ones, contact your Congressional Representive and ask all of them to look at other means, rather than stifling the economy even further.

I have heard of the issue of “border patrol” checkpoints 50 miles and more inside the states, rather than on the actual border. Videos surfaced showing the federal officers doing nothing but stopping the citizens and asking the question “are you an American citizen?”. Once answered yes, then they move along. Additionally, a high powered tower with many mounted cameras are normally on the side of the road, taking facial pictures of the passengers, and license plate scans, as the vehicles pass by these checkpoints.

Knowing this, the obvious question is why? There really does not seem a good reason to have these sitting out in the middle of no-where, serving nothing more than a waste of tax dollars. Unless, it is more of a logging (via cameras) and conditioning (via having American citizens accepting these checkpoints within United States). Recently, TSA has also shown to advance over 9000 checkpoints last year alone (not all counting inside airports),

So we have two new groups rising to a Nazi SS type of federal branch, imposing checkpoints, which is illegal.

I came across the youtube channel 4409 by accident, and checked out their main page. Below is a video from them, exposing what these checkpoints are really about. Their consensus was the same as mine.

This documentary looks promising. Having been born in Oklahoma and a long time resident, I remember this event very well.

A Noble Lie - Oklahoma City Bombing 1995was created by Free Mind Films.

Interesting note is the status of the film on the torrent sites. Specifically, the director has asked for the film not to be on torrent till after April 2012, due to getting some funds for the film. This indicates a willingness to get the information out, via torrent, but asking for reimbursements on producing/creating the film.

New charges showing President Obama is using a false or possible fraudulent social security number. The social security number being used by Obama does not pass the E-Verify (electronic system the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the U.S. Department of HomeLand Security has created to verify whether or not prospective employees have the required authorization to work legally in the United States).

Jerome Corsi has repeatedly shown and investigated the false birth certificate of Obama, making it a public inspection. However, regardless of the investigation, the Government has done little or nothing on the allegations.

Now others are starting to review for themselves if the case against Barack Obama holds anything worthwhile. Now we have Linda Jordan, a citizen of United States attempting to verify for herself if the allegations are true. What she found was surprising.

Registering for E-Verify, she reviewed Obama’s Social Security through E-Verify , and it came back as possible fraudulent. Linda Jordan has been attempting to get answers from all aspects of the Government inquiring why Obama has a Cincinnati Social Security number (although never having been a residence there), between October 2008 through May 2011. She submitted several requests to agencies and people with the legal responsibility and authority to investigate the use of forged documents. “To date no one with the legal responsibility and authority has responded to any of these request”.

“I considered myself to be one of the employers of the president of the United States,” she said, “so I decided to sign up for E-Verify and see if I could determine whether or not I could find out something about his true identity.”
In May 2010, WND reported two private investigators working independently were asking why President Obama was using a Social Security Number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in that state.
In addition, the records indicate the Social Security Number Barack Obama is using was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama’s earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at an ice cream shop in Hawaii.

The site WND shows pictures of the actual documents showing Obama’s Social Security number is mismatched and fails the E-Verify check (the Government is actually using to identify fraud).

So now, in addition to claims of false birth certificates, we have claims showing a false Social Security number is being used by this man, acting as our President of the United States.

Nuisance Abatement Teams (NATs) are pushing residents off their own property, or making it too difficult to stay, citing coding violations for their homes. These individuals live literally in the desert, away from everyone (approxmitely 10 miles to nearest neighbor). The NATS is a governmental task force made up of armed policemen, coding inspectors and agents. Shown in the video, among some citizens, a resident is the epiphany of going green. He uses solar, local well water(on his own land), grows his own produce, and has lived on his own property for 22 years with no issue. Not so now. For some reason, the NATS are coming in, illegally without warrant, and calling coding violations. Their demand? Connect to the grid.

There has been rumors, then pictures, followed by full fledged videos of FEMA camps, or concentration camps being installed within America. These camps are setup for "in case" scenarios regarding need of moving many people in an area after a disaster or catastrophe. The Katrina issue comes to mind.
<p>
Now discussions are made for the possibility of containing civil unrest, possible terrorist suspects, and now citizen internments, due to the S1867. You can read more of this bill in my earlier<a href="http://mcole.us/?p=723"> article<a/>, http://mcole.us/?p=723.

Below is a video from the past showing such camps being created.

Understanding bible prophecy, we eventually knew a global currency would come to being in the last days.

The idea of one world currency, prophetically, is derived from Revelation 13:16-17. Speculation abounded on the means to do this, by chip or a digital tattoo. That discussion is for another time. The emphasis of this article is to show the relevancy of bible prophecy in link to current events.

16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

In order to identify all transactions, financial control must be in order. Today’s technology allows for this type of control currently.

This idea of one world government and one world currency was laughed at a mere 20 years ago. However, in recent news, discussion of one world currency is now in the fore-front due to the created man-made financial crises, causing full countries to go under.

According to a recent report published April 13, last year, the International Monetary Fund will replace the U.S. dollar with the “banker” as the worlds reserve currency if an issue arises.

Full article found here on the report.
This news was written in November of 2010 by bibleProphecyBlog.com. It must be stated, metaphorically, the railroad has already been created, the tracks laid down and we are moving full steam ahead.

A small video by Brannon Howse discusses how Obamacare exempts Muslims from having to pay for health insurance. The decline and dropout of American doctors would provide a vacuum, allowing Muslim doctors to enter into America (with children and parents) easier. This would radically change the social landscape of America.

The article also shows which page, within the bill exempts Muslims, Christian Scientist and other "accepted" religious sects. This is a must see.
