The God Damn US gov't of Homeland Security seized ATDHE.net and ilemi.com today. I wonder how many islamic radical terrorists were watching sports?

Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
Homeland Security is all about taking down the internet and not about protecting the homeland.
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
ICE?

this is how liberals run the government. ignore our laws. selectively prosecute. and focus on petty shit not related to domestic security.
agreed RM
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
You know I'm just up to my ears in Gov't shit. I can't stand how they are EVERYWHERE! You can't take a piss in the bush without Government getting in your business. FUCK! I'm really upset.
I'm talking about all governments now. In Canada we just got this new notice saying we are getting metered for our internet usage. Basically to expect our internet bill to double if not triple. I am so sick of Governments I cant say it enough. GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR BUSINESS YOU FUCKING NAZI FUCKERS!!!! I hope someone in the government reads this. I don't care anymore.
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites

Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
The term "ATDHE" was trending on Twitter late on Tuesday as users tweeted their disappointment and concern over discovering the website was no longer up and running. "scary stuff when govnmnt [sic] can just take your domain," tweeted Jason Calacanis.
This may be the gayest sentence of 2011. I should go tweet this actually.
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
It sucks, but to be fair they were broadcasting copyrighted material, I was watching all the blacked out Bucs games on that site, it was only a matter of time, whatever, no big deal really
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
easy...there will always be others to take their place :)

^ this. We're lucky we got the broadcasting for free. There's nothing wrong with what the government did. Find something worth bitching about rather than the gov finally actually doing their job (obviously terrorist hunting hasn't worked out for them)

and yet, the sites were back up not a few hours later under a different url.

ok, great, so what's the problem here? the government cracked down on sites broadcasting material illegally. new sites popped up. i watched the end of the suns/thunder game on one last night. I remember watching world cup games on iraqgoals.net and that got shut down. Who cares. New ones pop up. The government has been fighting this crap since the the internet became widely available to the general population.

i thought it would be fairly clear that the problem is the waste of money, time, and resources our government consumes.
IMO....i they're going to shut down these sites they need to...
that said, the prosecution of such crimes seems to be an awful waste given the likelihood that such acts and websites can't be stopped unless the government takes total control of the internet. i'm not saying such crimes shouldn't be prosecuted, but there should be more efficient means with which to do so. spending 50k to shut down a website for 2 hours seems like waste to me? but i'm quite certain the cost was considerably greater.
and, on a side note, the criminal nature of producing such websites pales in great comparison to other legitimate threats the united states faces. that's just my opinion though.
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
well ya, i don't disagree with you. I think it's a complete waste of time. I think it's absurd. But in the end, the site was illegal and they caught them. C'est la vie.
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
well they should spend more time arresting bankers and fraudsters and less time nit picking the middle class. ffs trillions of dollars went out the door and they are worried about a few million for cable networks?
So what if it was illegal. I still watched the commercials at breaks of lions games and red wing games. Isn't that what it is all about anyways. It's not like the commercials were ripped out completely. The advertisers got what they wanted and so did the consumer. It was the cable networks that got pissed.

has it EVER occurred to you that maybe the reason why they haven't done so is because the government and the 'bankster's enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship?

Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
Ya it is fascism. When the gov't is in kahoots with corporations it's called fascism
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
we need "american runningman" to make a thread about the fucking canadian goverment that capped the internet data transfer just because they are fascist, live in an oligarchy and secretly support Iran's secret nuclear projects that plan exterminating all the infidels.

Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
er... yes my friend it is.
Fascism (pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2][3][4] [U][B]Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems[/B][/U], including the political system and the economy.[5][6] Fascism was originally founded by Italian national syndicalists in World War I who combined extreme right-wing political views along with collectivism.[7] Scholars generally consider fascism to be on the far right
Also Peru I did talk about the internet and my disgust for the Canadian Government as well.

sounds like you believe fascism is a mutual agreement instead of one-way.
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
It is both. It is a mutual agreement between the two parties but it is one way when it comes to laws being passed to help Big Corps

Whenever you're ready to stop white collar crime, put on a cape and suit with the letter R so we know it's you.
Re: Fucking US Gov't Seized Sports Sites
If some have issues with calling it fascism, then we can call it corporatism. If the dollar went, they'd be in deep sh*t as our purchasing power would be effectively quelled. The DHS co-opting WalMart with Big Sis videos is certainly fascistic. There's definitely a hybrid of ideologies at work in this complex behemoth of a system, most elements of which only have an interest in continuing the status quo no matter how it affects the common man or middle class.
