Remote Control Security ?vs-- Freedom
2012-05-07 23:58:00 Remote Control Security ?vs-- FreedomA Commentary by J. D. LongstreetHow would you like to live in oh, say, Pakistan or Yemen, or Afghanistan. I expect the usual remonstration(s) for asking such a question in the first place. But I have a point to make ? or, at least TRY to make. See, those folks live every day and every night with one eye trained on the sky. They KNOW that somewhere, way up THERE, someone is watching their every move. Plus, they know someone is going to die. Hellfire missiles rain from their skies like lightening bolts cast by angry gods. They bring death and destruction instantaneously, with no warning, and no chance, whatsoever, to defend oneself. Added together -- civilians and terrorists -- there have been literally thousands killed by the deadly bolts from the skies. The thing is ? those bolts emanate from no god. They are fired by a human finger somewhere thousands of miles -- or even half a world -- away. The f...

India’s Internet Freedom Ranking May Fall Due To Sibal’s Antics
2012-04-27 10:53:00 The Internet is going through a lot of rapid changes globally and many Governments are trying to make sense of how best they can can curb piracy, anti-social and anti-nationalist sentiments coming from citizens. The web can be overwhelming for authorities because this is something they have repeatedly failed to control ever since its inception. According to Bridget Welsh, a Political Science Professor at the University of Singapore, the proposed curbing of Social Media websites by the Indian Government may result in the lowering India’s position on Internet freedom. Welsh have knowledge of the yet-to-be published Freedom on Internet Report 2012, which ranks countries according to their Internet Policies. Social Media services and networks allow Individuals to speak their mind in an open forum and as far as we are concerned, curbing such a freedom is a gross violation of a person’s civil rights. Some months back, Kapil Sibal managed to incite outrage from all the Indian...

Freedom Is ALWAYS Better
2012-03-19 08:11:00 Freedom Is ALWAYS Better A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm becoming more than a little suspicious of the government's motives when it comes to all the deeply secret things they are doing, or reported to be doing, to protect me and my fellow Americans. There is an article HERE entitled: "The NSA Is Building the Country?s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say)" that you need to read. The article was brought to my attention by my good friend TEXAS FRED. We have been telling our readers for many months of our concern that the US federal government is overstepping its authority and trampling on the constitutional rights of American citizens. Of the most immediate concern to me is the government's monitoring of American's private communications. If the article mentioned above is to be believed, now the government plans to not only monitor our communications, they are planning on storing them so the...

Love, Freedom and Fifteen Years
2012-02-14 23:45:00 When I was little, February was a frenzy of red and pink paper; a time of round-ended scissors, glitter and Elmer’s glue. Is it still so for the children of America, or was it a fashion of the 1970s? We foisted cards on everyone, at least everyone in our school class and family, perhaps the janitor and principal too, the bus driver and the local librarian. There was really nothing personal about Valentine’s Day. It was about the sort of love that extends randomly in all directions, rather than the sort that attaches itself with hope to an individual. It was perhaps somewhat perfunctory, but it came with enthusiasm, and without expectation. Later it grew a gangly teenage awkwardness: a game of daring, angst and mortification. Now I barely think of it at all. By chance, February fourteenth is the day I became a student of Sri Chinmoy, so it has had a very different meaning for me these past 15 years. I joined the Sri Chinmoy Centre as a single person, so according to custom...
