As of today we will, most likely, no longer be living in a Democracy. With the so-called “compromise” on FISA, which gives Bush everything he wants and covers up his FELONY crimes and those FELONY crimes of the telecoms, we will be living in a Fascist Country, where the TYRANT is allowed to spy on […]
Because the Fisa/PAA and Telecom Immunity “compromise” vote that just passed in the House today after much backroom dealing (with the telecoms writing the final draft of the FISA “compromise”, it’s rumored) is so very obviously unconstitutional and such a bitchslap to the American People and the Rule of Law, there has to be something […]
Glenn Greenwald at Salon has a pretty complete wrapup of what’s going on with FISA and PAA, the telecomm immunity issue, and the trashing of our Constitution and Rule of Law. And though the tie to Impeachment isn’t made, it’s pretty obvious from the comments that everyone knows that this is a gravy train no […]
The deep pocket Telecomms and Republican fearmongers seem to be swaying the House to vote a backroom deal on FISA which will allow spying on every single one of us with no warrant. How’s that for trashing the Bill of Rights? And it looks like the Telecomms are getting that Immunity none of us want […]
The stuff coming through on the FreePress daily update about media matters is full of how little info we have about the Comcast Brouhaha, and how to that their “network management” is more like “competitor blocking”. Bennett keeps spewing about it on WetMachine as well, saying that Topolsky & Co really haven’t proven anything. That’s […]
Yesterday I wrote about the Gigantic Guaranteed Loan that the USDA had given out to a company named Open Range Communications to string Wimax across Rural America, including my current home state of PA. Turns out that the head of the company, whose name is William S. Beans Jr, was formerly President and COO of […]
A recent story in the Boston Herald says that Verizon is again saying that if they don’t get a state franchise bill passed soon that they won’t be able to wire FiOS into much of the state. Hell, many parts of Mass don’t have dsl or cable now, so how would this be different?
From the […]
Om Malik is reporting a MAJOR investment by the USDA in a mystery company called Open Range Communications. The company secured USDA financing to the tune of $267 million for the purpose of rolling out BroadBand to Rural Areas. This announcement comes fast on the heels of two other news events– the wrapup of the […]
How much you wanna bet there are a bunch of former AT&T and Verizon Legal Weenies out there looking for work, since they missed the Devil in the Details that allows Wireless Microphones to operate in that UHF Spectrum Range they just spent Megabucks by the tractor trailer full to purchase? Wet Machine has the […]
Can we say anti-competitive? Seems Canada doesn’t have it any better than the US where Canadian Broadband Issues are concerned. “Users of the Canadian family-run ISP Teksavvy (which we profiled last year) have started noticing that Bell Canada is throttling traffic before it reaches wholesale partners. According to Teksavvy CEO Rocky Gaudrault, Bell has implemented […]

I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, where it's nice and safe and secure.
