POPSCourts Strike Down Net Censorship Both First Amendment and pro-tech groups have been hugely critical of COPA, saying that the law is too broad, and would affect news or informational sites talking about mature issues, not just porn.

POPSHomeland Security Merchandisers Go to China Note: Communist, fascist governments like the same technology being setup in America! Kaa-chiiing! Selling out liberty is highly profitable and driving the agenda more. Note the sales pitches and methodology to establish tyranny by identifying it with patriotic labels, just more proof that there is a global conspiracy to increase strength of governments against their people invoking the (microscopic) threat of "terrorism": The surveillance experiment is part of the heroically named Golden Shield Project (Patriot Act, anyone?) which also gave birth to another of our favorite censorship models the Great Firewall.

POPSThe Ultimate Asshole's Cafepress Store Assholes create enemies at an exponential rate, and right now, our foreign policy is being determined either by assholes like this, or the fools who PANDER to assholes like this, apparently ignorant of the brutal reality of legitimizing the opinions of Camaro-Driving Assholes. I found the one you see at the top of the story. And that's your GraphicTruth for the day and a succinct summation of WHY civilized nations DO NOT FUCKING TORTURE PEOPLE.

POPSSilent No More: Iranian Student Sentenced To Death
The protests Mr Batebi took part in nine years ago frightened Iran’s rulers. The students were angry about censorship, the persecution of intellectuals and the thugs who beat up any student overheard disparaging the regime. Mr Batebi thinks Iran could well turn solidly democratic some day. In neighbouring states, religious extremism is popular. In Iran, he says, the government is religiously extreme, but the people are not. He is cagey about how exactly he escaped. But he says he used a cellphone camera to record virtually every step of his journey, and will soon go public with the pictures and his commentary. Meanwhile, he seems to be enjoying America. He praises the way “people have the opportunity to become who they want to be”. Shortly after he arrived, he posted a picture of himself in front of the Capitol on his Farsi-language blog,* with the caption: “Your hands will never touch me again.” http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-KjyoxDgwc6uQN8Q8PTn1n8dj8oA-?cq=1

POPSAmara; The Case Of The Invisible American War Machine; And What, We Used To Call "Censorship" Cont... Gone is all that nasty documentation of American soldiers imposing themselves on either innocent or opposition-sympathizing Iraqi civilians as embedded photographers were known to relay two or three years back. (In a particularly egregious example, you might even recall the raid in February '07 where the Iraqis -- who were supposed to lead the mission by barely showed up -- caused American Staff Sgt. Hector Leija to pay with his life ... further leading the military to flip out that the NYT dared even document the whole obscene mess.)

POPSHillary bloggers shut down The author believes that his site and others were shut down because they are running an anti-Barack campaign. If this is the case, this is outright censorship by Google. Hard to believe but the coincidence is as well.

POPSKKK Roast Offered to Maker of Obama Sock Monkey "Having led a moderately quiet lifestyle until now; our social calendar suddenly filled up with vivid and creative death threats," the statement said. "And last we heard, a posse of bloggers from back east are on their way over to conduct — how did they phrase it, a good ol' fashioned KKK house burning party at David & Elizabeth's. Kinda exciting stuff, but this in America?"

POPSHELLO FELLOW LUNATICS AND FASCISTS! You won't believe the audacity of one Bill O'Reilly. He in all his delusional big headed bubbleness is calling anyone who leans left (you know those who think and care about others and our planet) Lunatics and Fascists... (FASCISTS, HUH? A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism...)talk about the POT calling the kettle black)! I can't stand this big ASS-A-HOLA, who can? But what baffles me to no end are his viewers. The man is a hateful bigot and he doesn't even try to hide this fact. I guess we really are a racist, sexist, xenophobic society (well those who watch Bill O'Reilly and believe him, anyway)... It's so pathetic! Please watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENBwJqzdajc

POPSInternet Censorship Has Begun in the USA I'm no fan of child porn, but I' don't want nanny government to decide what I see online in the privacy of my own home.. As it is, schools and libraries already filter the Net. Why can't parents do the same?

POPSNASA Admits Misleading on Climate This is what you call a 'dump.' Normally, these sort of things come out on friday, when they'll get little coverage. If you really want to hide something, you put it out when all of the media are looking elsewhere -- like say, for instance, the day of the final two Democratic primaries.

POPSLieberman Pushing Internet Censorship; Bill in Congress NY Times editorial opposing his attempt to censor the internet. Tell your Senators to oppose this pending legislation , which is a ruse for censorship. Pardon me, but if "Al Qaeda" and "bin Laden" post videos on the internet at radical sites (per neocon propaganda fronts like SITE, and reported by ABC News), why can they not find them? (Those sites are not on YouTube or easily obtained). Answer: Because then there would be no propaganda to support the "war on terrorism" and "homeland security". All of this comes against the backdrop of a troubling Congressional antiterrorism bill that also focuses on the Internet. The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, which passed the House last year by a 404-to-6 vote, would establish a commission to study the terrorist threat and propose legislation. The bill, which the Senate has not acted on, has a finding that the Internet p
