Sites like Reddit, Wikipedia and thousands of others went dark in protest of the latest attempt at a violent terrorist attack on the internet, the so-called Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Here at The Dollar Vigilante (TDV) we didn't go dark. We figure we'd be one of the first sites taken offline if/when SOPA is enacted so why give them what they want.
And what is it they want? They want to heavily regulate the internet and have the power to shut down any website. It's a cyberwar going on, says Joseph Lieberman in this interview. Well, yes, there is a war, but it was one started by the US Government. Surprise, surprise.
But was there a cyberwar before valiant Joseph Lierberman rode up on the scene? Has anyone been shot? Did your laptop explode in your hands? What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you on the internet? Spam?
How many wars go on in the minds of these people? A harmless plant, marijuana, somehow in their world evolves into a brutal War on Drugs that kills hundreds of thousands per year. An emotion… terror… somehow turns into a War on Terror that has killed over a million people and resulted in a massive loss of freedom and liberty in the US, including the cancellation of the Bill of Rights. And now, the internet… the thing you are on right now… peacefully, without problem, they consider to be an ongoing Cyberwar and try to proclaim the GOVERNMENT needs to protect us from it!
If there EVER were some serious problem on the internet there will be one group of people and one group of people only who will deal with it and be able to deal with it: the internet community of programmers… they number in the millions. They already found a way to hack around Wikipedia going dark for 24 hours.

Once again elitists determined to take away our rights.
VERY good article! No smoking gun, but let's change the world anyway so there won't be one??? Added proof came the day after when Megaupload was shut down arbitrarily without due process. Just shut down. Until the trial, I guess? No innocent until proven guilty here, so why, again, do we need yet another law that does this? Maybe because yesterday's happenings were illegal and unconstitutional/ And we need to make a law to make this action legal?
THINK, PEOPLE!
Great article but I wonder when they will find out they are breaking the bill of rights because if you twist some of the words around then it would say that they don't have enough power to do this as there power is limited and this should end as soon as there is rebellion starting of the citizens causing a civil war after the government violated the citizen's rights. But unlike other times they are losing almost all the taxpayers and they will go into ruins because they would have no money or any soldiers what so ever so the only one we have to beat are about 200 people and it is even fight 200 v 300,000,000 sounds fair enough.
