cybersecurity measures would mandate govt 'id tokens' to use the net

cybersecurity measures would mandate govt 'id tokens' to use the netfrom paul joseph watson & alex jones: The move to shut down and regulate the Internet under a new government-controlled system has accelerated into high gear with the announcement that the government’s cybersecurity strategy revolves around issuing Internet users with ID “tokens” without which they will not be able to visit websites, the latest salvo against web freedom which, in combination with Senator Joe Lieberman’s ‘kill switch’ bill, will serve to eviscerate the free Internet as we know it.

Under the guise of “cybersecurity,” the government is moving to discredit and shut down the existing Internet infrastructure in the pursuit of a new, centralized, regulated world wide web.

This exact strategy was outlined in a paper published by Obama’s cybersecurity co-ordinator Howard Schmidt, which was compiled with the aid of the National Security Council.

The strategy revolves around, “The creation of a system for identity management that would allow citizens to use additional authentication techniques, such as physical tokens or modules on mobile phones, to verify who they are before buying things online or accessing such sensitive information as health or banking records,” reports the FInancial Times.

Only with this government-issued “token” will Internet users be allowed to “able to move from website to website,” a system not too far removed from what China proposed and rejected for being too authoritarian.

internet porn to get its own red light district as .xxx name approved

internet porn to get its own red light district as .xxx name approvedfrom guardian: The internet could soon have its own red light district after the ".xxx" suffix was approved – though pornography companies are not keen to use it.

Icann, the organisation which determines what "top-level domains" (TLDs) such as .com or .uk can be added to the internet announced today that it will begin the process of registering .xxx by making checks on ICM Registry, the company that wants to run the domain and sell registrations.

It marks the closing stages of a 10-year battle by ICM Registry, now run by the British internet entrepreneur Stuart Lawley, to get the .xxx domain set up so that legal pornography sites can be found in a single grouping...

But many pornography companies are unhappy with the idea of a dedicated space online because they expect that as soon as .xxx is implemented, conservative members of the US Congress will lobby to make any sex-related website re-register there and remove itself from other domains such as .com or .org.

That would mean that sex sites could be more easily filtered out from web searches, and lower their revenues. Free speech advocates also worry that sites about topics seen by US conservatives as controversial, such as homosexuality, might also be forced to use the .xxx suffix... 


[T]he .xxx domain is notable for only having ICM Registry, which stands to benefit from every domain name it sells. Lawley says he expects to make $30m (£20m) a year in revenue by selling each .xxx site for $60, and pledges to donate $10 from each sale to child protection initiatives.

LA VERDADERA SABIDURIA


La felicidad sucede cuando el corazón esta en paz, no solo con la tranquilidad propia, pero también como parte de un compromiso de Amor hacia todo el universo. La paz es el desarrollo del Bien, no solo como un sentimiento del corazón, sino también al ejercer la justicia y la compasión, sabiendo que aprendemos de todos y que también es necesario guiar a aquellos que tienen menos conocimiento, proveyendo las condiciones de vida, donde el progreso pueda ser logrado.
.
Entonces, tendremos Sabiduría verdadera porque estaremos compartiendo nuestra vida, enfatizando el amor fraternal y sentimientos de solidaridad, mientras que tratamos de aprender y de comprender mas acerca de la paz, acerca de superar la violencia, así como acerca de la crisis de la falta de valores y la falta de oportunidades.
.
Este es el deber todos y es una sabiduría muy sencilla, real y necesaria.

¡¿DONDE ESTA LA PAZ?


En este mundo actual las cosas se han invertido. Hoy se dice que hay que luchar por la Paz y en esta lucha se desangra la humanidad. Felices se presentan los lideres haciendo comentarios acerca de la guerra, "hoy ha muerto tantos inocentes" –escuchen. Y los líderes sonríen y nos hablan de seguridad.

Yo creo que han confundido la palabra paz y no saben su significado. Jamás la Paz nacerá de la violencia como jamás nacerá la inteligencia de la estupidez.

La Paz no crece en los cementerios.
La Paz no significa tirar las balas y las bombas.
La Paz no significa el llanto, la humillación.
La Paz no se centra en los discursos elocuentes de los que gobiernan.
La Paz es un niño inocente que hoy día agoniza .
La Paz, ¿Dónde esta la Paz?

obama internet 'kill switch' plan approved by US senate

obama internet 'kill switch' plan approved by US senatefrom techworld: A US Senate committee has approved a wide-ranging cybersecurity bill that some critics have suggested would give the US president the authority to shut down parts of the Internet during a cyberattack.

Senator Joe Lieberman and other bill sponsors have refuted the charges that the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act gives the president an Internet "kill switch." Instead, the bill puts limits on the powers the president already has to cause "the closing of any facility or stations for wire communication" in a time of war, as described in the Communications Act of 1934, they said in a breakdown of the bill published on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee website.

The committee unanimously approved an amended version of the legislation by voice vote Thursday, a committee spokeswoman said. The bill next moves to the Senate floor for a vote, which has not yet been scheduled.
