I hate to say it but we’ve all have been had by the progressives with this whole Internet bill, SOPA. I can show you exactly how we were all manipulated by this social experiment. I just read the SOPA bill in its entirety. I wish I had read it earlier.
Cass Sunstien wrote a book called “Nudge.” “Nudge is about choices-how we make them and how we can make better ones. Authors Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein offer a new perspective on preventing the countless mistakes we make- including ill-advised personal investments, consumption of unhealthy foods, neglect of our natural resources, and other bad decisions. Citing decades of cutting-edge behavioral science research, they demonstrate that sensible “choice architecture” can successfully nudge groups of people towards the best decisions.
This is a must-read for anyone with interest in our collective well-being.”
When I read the first pages of the bill’s text, it contained language that makes sopa null and void at the drop of a hat. I have never seen a bill or law written with this kind of pretext that nullifies it almost instantly! Especially by this administration.
I suspect this was the safety net on this social experiment. If it does pass, nullification will probably happen after the social experiment is over. The language clearly states that the constitutional rights of every citizen are to be strictly protected and if anything at all in this bill has any hint of being unconstitutional against the freedom of speech for individuals, companies or the press, the entirety of the bill is null and void. Feel free to read the bill and see exactly what I mean. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112hr3261ih/pdf/BILLS-112hr3261ih.pdf
I had a bad feeling when the occupiers first pushed it, that it was not what it seemed. I was very uneasy about this internet boycott, and I still think there are some nepherious actions going on with how this all went down. My office internet and home computers were not blacked out, but our wireless routers were rerouted and somehow disabled. I connected the laptops directly by wire with no blackouts whatsoever. However, last night I did have to reset all of my wireless networks all and rework each device’s passwords after this so called ‘boycott.’ That has me worried because as far as I know, an outside entity should not be able to do that. Anywhoo, I digress.
This bill has nothing to do with controlling the internet unless you are China trying to hack into our systems, or you are selling illegal drugs over the internet. In fact, the entire thing is full of description of laws we already have on the books. The text is pages of repetition & legal mumbo jumbo spelling out court rules on notification limits and other legalese definitions.
This bill has the hand of progressive manipulation by Cass Sunstine. SOPA contains 78 pages of nothing with a bunch of fluff and simple definitions of what the internet is, and what a ISP is etc. Pretty much 90% of it is nothing. Almost all of it can all be found among other laws, but people were lead to believe it was something completely different.
The remaining 10% still has nothing to do with controlling the internet. It deals with foreign entities and cyber attacks from our enemies. In fact it protects ISP companies when their networks are used in cyber attacks when the discovery of this kind of cyber-warfare is reported to the proper authorities. Which is already written into law.
The bill refers to definitions of an agency that has already been in place for years to monitor this type of cyber information. The bill repeats existing laws that protect our sensitive & top secret information safe from foreign countries like CHINA from using cyber warfare against us!
The bill simply reiterates the laws that make it a federal crime to leak military information into Wikileaks. Remember the guy who leaked important stuff to wikileaks of sensitive military information to our enemies abroad? We are all for that now because no one stopped to read the bill.
Sadly conservatives and liberals alike were all nudged into thinking they were protesting something other than the truth. The sheeple all protested saying we have the right to join the military, gain security clearance, and leak whatever you want to leak into the public eye of the rest of the world.
This has the horrible implications of making our men and women in uniform into sitting ducks, and we were happy to let it happen. Cass Sunstine nudged all of us into protesting that security, and he was able to show the progressive leaders in power that he is an expert in controlling the masses into a nationwide “group-think.”
His power to affect our choices has gained new ground, and that should infuriate all of us. We acted right in line just like sheeple occupiers, telling the world we are against our laws that protect our military secrets and our citizens from the like of Iran, China, etc. from cyber actions of war.
Not only that, but the occupiers are now using the comments he made about sopa to take down Santorum. Which is the least of our worries knowing that even conservatives can be manipulated into their choices of what bills they will support and what bills they will protest.
Take it or leave it, but I just thought I should get it off my chest.
Kudos to you for reading the bill and being willing to think for yourself and not be caught up in the emotional side of this whole SOPA debacle.
