The secret initials are OMG!

THE CORPORATE CYBER-GESTAPO MOVE IN
The following story appeared recently in The Times of London, (sent by Bernard) although it also applies to the US (and France). My primary question is who and what actually watches and monitors the downloads?
“People who illegally download films and music will be cut off from the internet under new legislative proposals to be unveiled next week.
Internet service providers (ISPs) will be legally required to take action against users who access pirated material, The Times has learnt.
Users suspected of wrongly downloading films or music will receive a warning e-mail for the first offence, a suspension for the second infringement and the termination of their internet contract if caught a third time, under the most likely option to emerge from discussions about the new law.” (Click for the full story and comments)

“If he was, my glee would be unseemly.”
(For the story so far)

FAREWELL TO FIDEL AND HIS BEARD
“I’m outta here, but the other guy is long dead.”
This will probably upset a few people, but Fidel Castro, despite his flaws and excesses, was really a boyhood hero of mine. Mainly on account of how he took Cuba with a handful of men from a US/Mob dictatorship and held America at bay for almost half a century despite whatever the CIA could throw at him. (Now hit me with the repression, executions etc.) Of course, Che was the true icon. But Che didn’t live and that’s always an advantage for icons, because then they don’t tarnish or grow old. (And if we’re talking about a Cuban police state, check what’s going on here at home. Sent by Peromycus)

THREE UFOS AT SUNSET
No reason for posting this except I came across a cache of UFO pics (from Turkey of all places) and I thought it was coolly dramatic. And also wondered what this thing is about UFOs traveling in threes. BTW Turkey seems to having as many UFO flaps as Mexico. (But that doesn’t exempt them guilt about what they did to the Armenians)

I AM SO GODDAMNED SICK OF THE WAR ON DRUGS
“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence, from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” – George Washington
And thus spake the League Of Armed Marijuana Patients, who are probably nothing more than a bunch of disgruntled stoners without a carbine between them, who thought it was a good idea to stick up a website, so I’d guess there’s no call for the FBI or DEA get bent out of shape, since all they seem to do is to quote Nietzsche, Howard Beale, and the above mentioned George Washington, but it really does reflect both my own and the universal sense “oi vey, when the fuck will the powers in power wise up and act rationally towards the marijuana prohibition that has lasted my entire fucking lifetime and more." Hell, not even my lifetime. Dope was becoming illegal when Willie Nelson was in diapers, Jah know. (Thanks for the link Iggy)
