As Cyber Monday draws near and debate continues about the Stop Online Piracy Act, the U.S. government has again seized a bevy of domain names it says belong to Web sites that deal in counterfeit goods. Blog TorrentFreak ran a list of more than 130 domains it said were seized by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security's Immigrations and Customs Enforcement division as part of "Operation in Our Sites." TorrentFreak called the move the largest such round of seizures to date.

In what amounts to the next initiative undertaken by the Obama Administration towards its ever-expanding program of government expansion and nationalization of various aspects of the lives of the American people (such as the government takeover of health care, intervention in banks, and the nationalization of various automobile companies, such as General Motors), the federal government is now embarking upon a program of government-directed wireless internet (Wi-Fi) delivery.

The Brooklyn Tea Party will be meeting at Ciro's Pizzeria at 377 Avenue X, off McDonald Avenue. The pizzeria is located right next to the Avenue X stop on the F train.

If you would like to get actively involved, this is your chance to step up!

Uncle Sam Wants Your Vitamins! While Americans continue to fight the government takeover of our health care, Senator John McCain announced his plan for the government to regulate all dietary supplements. His Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 calls upon the FDA to regulate dietary supplements as if they are drugs. The language is so sweeping that the FDA would have a free hand to regulate all food products, which are manufactured to supplement nutrition. Why is McCain doing this? Who benefits?

I manage campaigns for candidates I agree with, (right to life, conservative party etc.). I am a political scientist by training and web designer when not engaged in a fight. I am quite familiar with the political game and I know what is going on. In my college years both undergraduate and graduate level I was for some time a committed Marxist of the Stalinist variant. I devoured everything from Marx to Kautsky, Lenin, Gramsci, Guevara, Mao et al. I have a good insight to what the left does and their tactics. Conservatives have unfortunately been checkmated by the left...

The announcement that President Obama has caved in to Soviet demands to scrap the missile defense plans in Europe serves not just to appease the Russians but also clears the way for the Iranians to have a clear shot at European cities once they have their own nukes. This is the convenience of seeing everything having to do with defense as an expense and waste of money that could be better suited to other purposes such as spending money on programs that actually can buy and bribe the voters.....

A day after the great march in Washington my neighborhood held it's annual festival along part of 5th Avenue in Brooklyn. In many of the stands selling T-shirts one could find the image of that icon of the left Che Guevara. Oblivious to the fact the man was a murderer most of the Latinos of my nabe seemed to take it all in stride. The T-shirts have become fashionable attire, but what really perplexed me was seeing that image next to other T-shirts laden with the image of Christ and the Virgin of Guadalupe all in the same stand next...

I would have been in Washington today. A last minute change in my plans did not allow me to take that 7:00 am bus to DC this morning. I have no access to television at the moment but see some of the pictures being posted on the Internet. One thing that I see in common in most of the signs is that they are not the fare of some highly organized protest with mass printed signs by unions or some left wing non-profits who like to squander the money of their contributors. No, what I see all over the place...

February 2, 2009 4:00 AM PST The next frontier: 'Seasteading' the oceans Posted by Declan McCullagh Patri Friedman, executive director of the Seasteading Institute, previously worked in Google's Mountain View headquarters as a software engineer.(Credit: Declan McCullagh/CNET News) PALO ALTO, Calif.--This chic, tree-lined California town might seem an unlikely place to begin the colonization of Earth's oceans. Palo Alto is known for expensive modernism, Stanford University, al fresco dining, and land prices so high a modest cottage still sells for well over $1 million. If Patri Friedman gets his way, the area will also be remembered for birthing a political...

Some observations of the debacle 1) No doubt about it. The Democrats have a mandate, being defined as anything above 50% of the vote. 2) Sarah Palin will fade into the background, she is a candidate that excites the conservative base and for this reason they will try to neuter and discredit her before the four years are up. 3) Conservatives as always invested themselves heavily into the GOP. They forgot that conservatism is a political movement, NOT a political party and thus they acted accordingly by investing too much in a flawed candidate. 4) No matter how much McCain...

An appeal to Grass Roots America Part 2!You can read Part 1 hereYES WE CAN! WE CAN WIN! WE MUST WIN! TURNOUT! TURNOUT! TURNOUT!Forget all the polls, all the stories made up to make news and suppress votes. The only vote that counts is the one on election day. How many votes does it take to win an election you ask? It takes just one vote, yours. If our turnout is as close to 100% as we can make it, we will win the election, that's a fact. We must cancel out the votes of not just the democrats who...

An Appeal to Grass Roots America Part 1! I am writing this because I believe that I have something to contribute to the current electoral situation. I do not have the eloquence or ghost writers of Obama or speech writers like McCain. Yet, I hope that you take what I say in the following essay and give it some thought.Sometime in the early part of 1962 men with machine guns burst into my house. My mother and I were the only ones home at the time. Out in the front of the house were armored cars manned by uniformed troops....

Sometime this afternoon I went to my local bodega to get something to drink. The headline in the local New York Spanish paper caught my eye. Ni Cien Días (Not even 100 days). I picked up the copy of the paper and read the accompanying article. According to the article, which I cannot post here even in translation as it is a spanish feed from an AP reporter cited above both McCain and Obama addressed the National Association of Latin Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO). In their addresses both pledged to the exclusively Hispanic audience that they will initiate...
