SOPA Internet Hijacking

 

A little known story exists about the people behind SOPA and their fight to curtail internet sharing of artist’s work. Here is the true story as reported by Michael Mozart (investigative video journalist) on Google Plus.

SOPA The true Story

If you want more information:

It’s All HERE

The very people initiating SOPA are the ones who encouraged “piracy” marketed the products, such as LimeWire, Kazaa, LuckyWire and other bit torrent platforms to ‘download’ the artist’s intellectual property. Also little known is the fact that LimeWire reportedly paid CBS for the rights to the music files.

C-Net is a subsidiary of CBS Interactive, and supplied the peer-to-peer software such as Kazaa.

CBS and C-Net actually are the ones who ‘threw the music industry under the bus”.

Michael Mozart had documented all of these statements in his video and that of VIACON’s video.

After you have read all of this and have seen the video, and you would like to oppose this proposed law;

Class Action Suit against C-net, CBS interactive

The View From Here hopes you will join this lawsuit to retain freedom on the internet and ban censorship.

While the “Entertainment” and Music Industry

The EFF (Electronic Freedom Foundation) is more important than ever.

SOPA IS A DISGRACE

 

Once Again Congress has been duped !

The real truth as revealed by entertainment insiders.

CBS INTERACTIVE OWNS C-NET AND DOWNLOAD.COM both of whom carried free download sources for ‘file sharing’ software.

Change (If Nothing Else) Is In The Air

Bob Dylan “The times, they are a changin'”

It was true then and true now and probably will always be so. Yet the enormity of readjustments in the world’s economic base, financial institutions, digitization of most industries, health reform and political unrest around the world effects the United States in ways never before expected.

Political unrest seems to have peaked in the middle east, yet no clear movement is apparent for a recovery plan. As the United States withdraws from Iraq and eventually Afghanistan will the resources put in to those countries pay a dividend, or will matters inevitably revert to past centuries of tribalism. 

One thing for certain, wherever American military might has passed we leave a by- product, the American ‘pop-culture’ remnant taken up by the youth of the country attempting to imitate life in America. In this case there is a strong cultural divide which may mute this process..

In American Medicine, nothing could be more true, and if you are interested take a link to my Health Train Express Blog where I publish more often.

Occupy Oakland

It’s interesting that the peaceful Occupy Wall Street marches are 90% peaceful until we get to Oakland California.  Oakland gets the bad rap ever since the days of our ‘Peacekeeping” role in Vietnam when anti-war protestors created furor over the U.S. involvement in East Asia.

Oakland Demonstrators

Yesterday the occupiers disrupted the maritime industry when the port of Oakland had to be shut down, and it was pointed out that Oakland is the fifth busiest port in the United States, and millions of dollars and losses were at stake, and that maritime workers were at risk. (Aren’t those the people for whom the occupiers are demonstrating?)   It would seem the maritime workers would throw down their cargo containers and joint the movement in solidarity. 

Or is it the management and investors, corporate fat cats who complained. The news seemed to be entirely against the occupy wall street movement as long as they can go on with their game, but if it disrupts their economic gains, the movement becomes intolerable. The shipping industry must be thriving since we ship lot’s of things to China, and they ship lots of things to us since our balance of trade is do imbalanced, to say nothing of how much debt we owe China.

Occupy Protesters Disavow Oakland Violence

Meanwhile the Occupy Wall Street (ers) disavowed any forms of violence in their efforts, following the violence in Oakland and disruption of the Oakland Port. 

Let’s hope the next step will not be a march at Kent State in Ohio. Those Ohio National Guardsmen need some more target practice. Oh I forgot times have changed….they can re-task a Predator and the ‘boys’ in Nevada can help our local police forces.

I am certain President Obama would not mind ignoring our constitutional protections to use our defense department against the people.

How stupid of me to talk this way….I must be getting senile.  I should never have retired. I have too much time to think and write….my spouse says I should run for the senate. Are you kidding? My columns and blogs are more powerful than any elected position.

  Occupy Air Force One !!

Valley of The Dry Bones

Thank you for joining me here on “The View from Here”.

The fork in the road leads us the choice of which desert landscape we will proceed to from here. In the far distance lies the mountain,

This photograph was taken in 2003 while residing near Palm Springs in Desert Hot Springs. It was a unique time in my life while recovering from a heart surgery and a spine problem.

Disconnected from most concerns of modern times it brought me back to pioneer times. There were several old abandoned miner communities where we lived in a primitive cement block house on a sand dune.

The View From Here

My spouse called this place “The Valley of The Dry Bones” (Ezekiel, 37:1-14)

Has  America, become like Israel in the Valley of the Dry Bones ?

No one can quite explain why we are in this place of dysfunction and chaos despite what some of the supposedly brightest men who speak without wisdom tell us.

The problems are deeper than financial balance sheets, or political correctness. The Occupiers on Wall Street seem to know this to be true. So our educational system despite critics must be doing something right, or perhaps they are so ineffective in brainwashing our young people that their common sense can tell them right from wrong.

“Occupy Wall Street” and the events of the past decade leading to our present stagnant economy and our morale, without rendering an opinion of an ‘old physician"’

The opportunity to introduce and give a head start to this blog from Health Train Express is important because regardless of mandates by Obamacare it is doubtful the mandates can or will be implemented in full. Finally the progress toward a fiscally sound America and a physically fit and healthy America are inextricably bound.

Today  we are here at the  View from Here”, another web site which I reserve for opinion on current events in medicine and in other socio-political controversy. Join me in a different kind of rant.

Health Train’s View from Here.

My other blog  The View From Here has been dormant for over a year, now. You can see it HERE. I would like to invite you to read that once in a while.  I discuss topics away from medicine at that blog.
