Censoring = Fortifying the Censored!
By Reggie Middleton
December 05, 2010 " Zerohedge " - - I must admit that I am quite perturbed by the sheer amount of effort concentrated at not only censoring Wikileaks, but the censoring of media outlets that meerely comment on Wikileaks! It has become truly Orwellian in stature, and the worst part is that the attempts to censor something as distributed and collective in intellectual capital as the Internet is futile. All it has done has created ample bad will for governments worldwide, and those corporations that bowed to the pressure of said governments yet refuse to admit it. The bad will has gotten to the point where even I am pulling my patronage from Amazon (that means colored Nooks from now on, not Kindles, Barnes & Nobles for books and not Amazon.com, and Netflix for streaming content in lieu of Video on Demand). I can understand the need to bow to the pressure of the US government if you need to stay in business, but to cowtow and lie takes it a step to far.
