The Cloud: Trojan Horse For Internet Takeover
King.Arthur
Despite the corporate-driven hubbub surrounding the inevitability of “the
cloud” replacing personal hard drives as the pre-eminent storage center for
all web content, this system represents another dangerous trojan horse for
the establishment to complete their agenda to regulate and shut down the
free Internet. However, despite the convenience of having all your files
easily accessible in one place wherever you go, the drawbacks are ominous.
The Cloud is basically a You Tube for everything, and the problem with this
is that You Tube routinely blocks, censors and deletes content when ordered
to by governments.
Apple, Google and Amazon amongst other tech giants have all jumped on board
with “the cloud,” a remote server network that allows users to store their
data without using hard drives.
“It’s all part of a generational trend away from owning physical media
content and towards renting media content from the computing universal
cloud,” reports Investmentu.com.
However, despite the convenience of having all your files easily accessible
in one place wherever you go, the drawbacks are ominous.
The Cloud is basically a You Tube for everything, and the problem with this
is that You Tube routinely blocks, censors and deletes content when ordered
to by governments. As we reported back in May, You Tube is now following
orders from governments to remove videos that show protests, demonstrations
and other sensitive information the state doesn’t want others to see.
Indeed, Amazon’s Cloud network notoriously deleted the entire Wikileaks
website from its servers following a phone call made by Senator Joe
Lieberman’s Senate Homeland Security Committee demanding the website be
axed.
Lieberman has been at the forefront of a push to purge the Internet of all
dissent by empowering Obama with a figurative Internet kill switch that he
would use to shut down parts of the Internet or terminate websites under the
guise of national security. Lieberman spilled the beans on the true reason
for the move during a CNN interview when he stated “Right now China, the
government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war and we need
to have that here too.”
The cloud is therefore the perfect compliment to cybersecurity. The goal is
to force everyone to use one of the cloud networks run by a major
corporation, first by taxing, regulating, and making the normal Internet
prohibitively expensive, and eventually by shutting it down all together.
Once the vast majority of data is confined to the cloud network, harsher
copyright, free speech and defamation laws will slowly be tightened, which
will force the alternative media out of business.
When you agree to have your content hosted on the cloud, you are virtually
handing it over to a large corporation which then through “terms of use” has
the power to access or delete your information.
For example, Amazon’s Cloud Locker’s “binding agreement” with users mandates
that Amazon can exercise, “the right to access, retain, use and disclose
your account information and Your Files”.
Handing your data over to the cloud also makes it that bit easier for the
government to obtain your private information.
“It’s not like putting your data in a desk drawer,” Chris Calabrese of the
American Civil Liberties Union told the Washington Post. “Although the
government needs a judge’s order to seize a hard drive, a subpoena is often
enough authority to obtain cloud data.”
Security is also virtually non-existent on Amazon’s cloud. Amazon writes
that “We do not guarantee that Your Files will not be subject to
misappropriation, loss or damage and we will not be liable if they are. You’re
responsible for maintaining appropriate security, protection and backup of
Your Files.”
So if a hacker or Amazon itself deletes your files – tough luck – there’s no
recourse.
Technology buffs have also predicted problems for people who later decide to
switch between clouds, say moving from Apple to Google.
“Providers of cloud services like Apple, Google and Facebook will have
strong profit incentives to hold on to their users to maximize revenue,”
writes Tony D’Altorio. “They’ll do their best to limit consumers’ freedom to
roam freely from cloud to cloud.”
“So consumers may get stuck in Apple’s iCloud and not be able to get out
without a hassle. Mark Little, an analyst at Ovum, remarked, “Switching
costs [from cloud to cloud] is likely to be one of the biggest parts of the
cloud story.”
The cloud is nothing more than a trojan horse to eviscerate the free
Internet. It’s an effort to assimilate the alternative media into a borg
hive before destroying it from within. It’s one component of Internet 2 and
the move towards a world wide web that resembles something more like cable
TV than what we know as the Internet today, a system where a small number of
giant corporations will work with governments to decide what can and cannot
be published.
The cloud will kill the free Internet unless we get the message out that it
is a tool perfectly honed for shutting down free speech on the world wide
web.

It's called the dissolution of personal property. Streaming video
taking over for DVD and Blu-ray was the beginning.
That way, if the powers that be decide a certain morality is no longer
valid (or political opinion) they can just turn off the flow of
objectionable material.

More powers to control the internet are coming in Canada too, probably
in one of those omnibus crime bills where they can sneak things in
people might not like.
With things like e-mail, 'social networking' and finally usenet being
quickly corporatized, things can be switched off if necessary. The good
thing is that hordes of angry people would then stumble out into the
sunlight and meet their neighbours.

Not all political potato heads support the new package for the American way
of life, some even want to protect your freedom too Eric
Which means they know if the public has to be put on lists and watched, even
their children and family's will be put on the same lists.
Others in office want to please their masters and bend over so far that they
will sacrifice themselves on the alter of evilness.

Maybe you should write the conservative government and ask why they are

Insider Leaks Reveal Full Bilderberg Agenda On War and Alternative Media -
Thursday, June 16, 2011
World War III and taking out the alternative media is high on the agenda of
the global elite. The move by al-Qaeda in Yemen and news of the CIA plan to
escalate the drone war into Africa follows by several days word that the
elite plan to expand the fabricated war on terror. Last week in St. Moritz,
Switzerland, inside sources at the Bilderberg meeting revealed that the
globalists are working to spread the war throughout the region.
The corporate media reported on Wednesday that the CIA is building a secret
air base in the Middle East to use for armed drone attacks on al-Qaeda in
Yemen, a full-tilt expansion of the manufactured war from the Middle East
into the Arab Maghreb of Africa. This follows news reports that al-Qaeda has
moved into a provincial capital in Yemen’s southeast and has warned
government officials to leave or face retaliation, according to the New York
Times.
The move by al-Qaeda in Yemen and news of the CIA plan to escalate the drone
war into Africa follows by several days word that the elite plan to expand
the fabricated war on terror. Last week in St. Moritz, Switzerland, inside
sources at the Bilderberg meeting revealed that the globalists are working
to spread the war throughout the region.
The elite want a “big bloody war in the Middle East, which will involve
every country except Israel, which is being protected,” veteran Bilderberg
hunter Jim Tucker told Alex Jones on June 9. A large war, he noted, will
work toward the effort by the elite to drive up oil prices and put further
economic pressure on a dwindling middle class in America.
In another development pointing toward expanded war, on Thursday the
Pentagon moved warships on the Mediterrenean coast of Syria.
Oil prices are currently falling. Brent crude and U.S. oil prices dropped
sharply from a five-week high on Wednesday but are projected to go up
significantly in the long term. Instability in the Middle East will
ultimately drive prices much higher. Chief Financial Officer of Rio de
Janeiro-based Petrobras Brasileiro, Almir Barbassa, reflected industry
predictions when he said in March that the conflict in Libya and the
so-called “Arab Spring” will push prices higher.
According to Bilderberg insiders, escalating gas and oil prices will
ultimately move the American people into a position of supporting wars in
the Middle East where much of the world’s oil is produced.
Despite this prediction, on Wednesday a bipartisan group of House members
announced they are filing a lawsuit against Obama for his illegal and
unconstitutional end-run around Congress when he approved U.S military
action against Libya. “With regard to the war in Libya, we believe that the
law was violated. We have asked the courts to move to protect the American
people from the results of these illegal policies,” said Rep. Dennis
Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat.
House Speaker John A. Boehner warned President Obama on Tuesday that unless
he gets authorization from Congress for his military deployment in Libya, he
will be in violation of the War Powers Resolution.
Bilderberg insiders revealed last week that the global elite are concerned
about mounting congressional opposition to endless wars and they fear steps
may be taken to roll back military action in the region. The CIA plan to
expand the war into Yemen and ultimately into Somalia and Africa reveal a
brazen attempt to buck the growing trend against unconstitutional military
acts by Congress. The elite are determined to act before they are hamstrung
by lawmakers and the American people.
Ignoring the mounting chorus of opposition, the Pentagon and the Obama
administration are stepping up military activity against Yemen-based
al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, “considered the most immediate terror
threat to America,” according to the Associated Press. “There have been
consistent reports of connections between AQAP in Yemen and al-Shabab across
the Gulf of Aden in Somalia. And those could deepen if the Yemeni government
loses more control of its coastal regions,” the AP reported on Wednesday.
In addition to the expansion of the war on terror – and the debilitating
effect it continues to have on the U.S. and global economy – Tucker’s mole
revealed last week that the elite are worried about the alternative media
and its growing impact on the corporate media’s script-read pro-war
propaganda.
The global elite realize they must muzzle the alternative media and force
the American people back into the corporate media propaganda circuit if they
are going to dampen resistance to their plan to gain order of chaos through
war and also take down the economy and move to impose a globalist economic
scheme with a global currency and high-tech authoritarian police state.
The current corporate media obsession with hacking is part of a propaganda
effort to convince Americans that an unregulated or internet not controlled
and supervised by government is a threat to modern civilization with its
power grids and infrastructure networks. The shadowy and mysterious groups
LulzSec and Anonymous are at the forefront of this effort to frighten the
American people, most who do not understand that such “hacker collectives”
do not really pose a serious threat to corporate and government networks, at
least not those with adequate security measures in place.
The emerging trend is to restrict internet access under the aegis of
copyright law. Last month the new EU Intellectual Property Rights Strategy
endorsed a policy of holding ISPs liable for piracy, thus forcing them to
punish users without the involvement of a judge or jury. Spain, Ireland and
the UK have recently decided to tackle piracy with access restrictions.
In the United States, the “Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits
Act” would empower the Department of Justice to shut down, or block access
to, websites found to be “dedicated to infringing activities.” The DOJ has
already done this numerous times. In late May, the DOJ moved from shuttering
copyright infringing piracy sites to shutting down gambling sites. This
precedent leaves the door open for the government to close down other sites
not associated with criminal or perceived criminal activity.
In February, the government closed down several websites for linking to
copyrighted material, thus establishing a dangerous precedent. The company,
Rojadirecta, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in New York, claiming
that the government was violating the First Amendment, citing a number of
previous cases where material was seized without justification.
The PROTECT IP Act introduced in Congress will codify domain seizures, ISP
blockades, search engine censorship, and other heavy-handed government acts
under the excuse of preventing copyright infringement. How long before the
government claims linking to news articles and other information is behavior
“dedicated to infringing activities”and begins the process of shuttering
alternative media websites? The ambiguity of the bill may frighten off ISPs
and hosting services from providing services to any business that may be
determined by a government bureaucrat to break copyright law.
The bill would also deny search engine access and online credit card and
payment services to websites the government claims are “rogue” and criminal.
PROTECT IP is currently aimed at foreign websites, but the emerging trend is
one that will eventually adversely impact all internet activity.
A raft of cybersecurity legislation is designed to treat offending websites
as terrorist enterprises. In late May, the Pentagon announced that computer
intrusions from abroad are from now on to be considered acts of war against
the United States and will be answered with conventional military force.
The Pentagon established a new command last year, headed by Gen. Keith B.
Alexander, director of the NSA, to consolidate military network security and
attack efforts. Alexander told the Washington Post last November that the
new outfit wants maneuvering room to mount what he called “the full
spectrum” of operations in cyberspace.
Not incidentally, activist websites such as Anonymous are considered at the
forefront of the cyber terrorist threat against the United States. The
mysterious hackers at LulzSec have claimed responsibly for attacking various
sites, including the U.S. Senate, game maker Bethesda Software (producer of
such titles as Brink, Doom, and Quake), Sony BMG, security firm Unveillance,
Nintendo, and the Atlanta chapter of FBI affiliate InfraGard.
“LulzSec, or people just like them, are the future of Net hacking. And it’s
going to get really nasty out there before it gets any better — if it gets
better,” claims InfoWorld.
Nobody really knows who LulzSec is. It is, however, rather suspicious that
the group has increased its hacking activities during a period when a number
of cybersecurity bills are marching through Congress.
Last week Attorney General Eric Holder said cybersecurity is one the top
priorities for the Justice Department. “I’m proud to report that this work
is — and it will remain — a top priority not only for me personally, but for
our nation’s Department of Justice, and for this administration at the
Cabinet level,” said the nation’s top cop.
Slowly but surely, the government, at the behest of the ruling elite who met
last week in Switzerland, are tightening the noose around the internet and
will soon make the medium untenable for alternative media.
High on their list is the ability to wage destructive and endless war for
profit and to gain order out of chaos – currently among recalcitrant Muslims
in the Middle East – and further the economic deterioration now well
underway, all of it without the pesky interference of alternative media that
will ultimately be characterized as LulzSec terrorists and moved to the
Pentagon’s ever growing target list.
