Yall techies out there we have to come up with something new to retain communication. We can’t practically go back to letter writing, and if we did we would find new restrictions at the USPS. We have to have a new web or net that gets around the government.We will be regulated totally into silence if we do not. More and more subject areas will be ruled off limits due to “offensiveness” and “fairness’ until all we can talk about is Bruce Jenner and pornography.

I liked the Patriot act protest.

Perhaps a movement should be started to block the .gov domain at the firewall level. Sorta like a citizen’s Bluecoat. That would be highly controvertial, but legally sustainable. It would be interesting to say the least!

"Yall techies out there we have to come up with something new to retain communication."

That would be difficult.

Paragraph (b) of the revised definition explicitly sets forth the Department's requirement of authorization to release information into the ''public domain.'' Prior to making available ''technical data'' or software subject to the ITAR, the U.S. government must approve the release through one of the following:...or (4) another U.S. government official with authority to allow the ''technical data'' or software to be made available to the public.

They also would construe it as applying to any means of communication or publishing that works like the Internet. And imagine, for example, a private e-mail list being made "available to the public." And what form of electronic communication is private?

The attacks on human rights (AKA constitutional rights and civil rights) must be stopped. Otherwise, technical knowledge will only be shared within the true technical class: the people feared so much by the bipartisan political class (from rural areas to inner cities), we, who once manufactured most of the things that you use (and will again).

That wouldn't be a good situation for anyone, either, in my opinion. Although every political bandwagon is moving against the constitutional rights of the majority now perceived as peasants, our constitutional rights should be for everyone. Look at the increases in costs of owning firearms--not so much for some, but by outward appearances, insurmountable for others.

We're headed toward a worldwide economic collapse with many causes. All who have designs on controlling others will fall. In the years to come, attacking a technically inclined person or family (builders, those who repair, those who make useful things--all with their own skilled hands) might be like attacking a willow only to find out that it turns into a grinder.

Here’s one suggestion. If you might be wanting to download manuals or instructions for maintaining firearms, making your own firearms or parts (for example, so-called “80 percent lowers”) or repairing firearms, download them before the rule goes into effect. Print copies. But if the news is not an exaggeration from the NRA for drumming up more memberships, then lobbying and/or other legal actions or legislation will be required.
