X-Cop Fly Company

Many of you who came to the X-Cop Fly Company blog (or to Rogue Central @ coredumpcentral.org) yesterday were redirected to the SOPA Strike page.

(The blackout on the X-Cop Fly Company blog started a few hours late for EST people such as myself, since the plugin I used here had a bug, and I could not upgrade to the fixed version until I woke up yesterday. Rogue Central @ coredumpcentral.org followed the full 8AM-8PM EST blackout.)

Why did I not announce this? Especially after posting material from Rogue Central @ coredumpcentral.org on the VOGONS forum just a few hours prior?

This was done deliberately. When you give the President dictatorial powers over the Internet, your business will just freeze. All financial transactions will be put on hold, including the ability to hire a lawyer. Already Obama has shut down thousands of domains using assumed nonexistent power. Many of these sites had a valid legal case, with Obama refusing to show any justification for his actions.

SOPA/PIPA is being sold in terms of how and when the MAFIAA will use it for copyright purposes. But the real issue is the amount of power given to the President over any business he feels like targeting, a further moving America away from capitalism and towards government-managed Hitler/Mussolini/FDR fascism. SOPA/PIPA enables the President to cut off any enterprise’s commercial activity (including hiring lawyers) and seize any property he wants.

SOPA/PIPA also subliminally targets Wikileaks-like organizations, since they often host copyrighted material as well as material exposing the fallibility of the governments of the world, and were subject to similar cutoffs from capitalism.

In other words, SOPA/PIPA gives dictatorial powers to one man. Obama has already seized banks, investments, and car companies, it’s only natural that he wants to seize the establishment’s biggest enemy, the Internet, and anything else he feels like seizing.

See these two articles and the podcast I appeared on regarding SOPA/PIPA’s non-piracy-related consequences:

• The Blacklist Bills Are Just Plain Silly
• Hussein Obama’s Upcoming Dictatorship: The Virtual World & The Physical World
• Podcast: SOPA, S. 1867, and the Police State

Again, remember that if SOPA/PIPA becomes law, all it takes is a single copyrighted sentence on a Web site, and any business in the country can be destroyed, anytime, anywhere, and forever.

It’s definitely wrong. But is it ever necessary? It can at least give you peace of mind sometimes. But the consequences can be felt for a long time. A very long time. Though at the same time, your lack of hypocrisy can add regret. Nihilistic? Possibly…

The monitor came in several days ago. Real nice and everything has been fine (except DOSBox which I can’t figure out how to fix)

Well, my monitor finally went. I’ve had it for 3 to 4 years. Technology dies faster and faster with every generation.

Fortunately I like to keep at least one spare piece of hardware in case the one I have breaks. You might have heard me mention a 2003 Dell computer used for emergencies.

I don’t know who owned this 4:3 monitor. Probably came free with a Dell computer my parents or sister must’ve bought at some point. It’s LCD but it isn’t widescreen. Two choices: 800×600 or 1024×768.

Very annoying. Windows are crammed and have to be resized. I’d have to reconfigure game settings and would rather wait for a widescreen to watch DVDs I just bought myself for Christmas.

Though I do see that xcopfly.com works with 4:3, as well as the “work-in-progress” version (not yet in a completely working state, but you can see my progress if you are clever enough to find how to turn it on And I guess that’s good.

A new monitor is on the way, probably tomorrow, weather permitting It’s LED backlit, and 16:9 rather than 16:10, gives me both DVI and an analog VGA port for the 2003 machine.

Here are the leaders of the Republican Revolution of 2012:

Mitt Romney – Supports abortion. (source) Supports Socialist National health care and private mandates, turning millions of unemployed Americans into indentured criminals in 2014. (source) Supports the homosexual agenda. (source)

Rick Perry – Encourages 11-year-old girls to have sex, even to the point of fighting his legislature. (source) Sympathizes with Muslim terrorist groups (source). Favors public works projects. (source)

Newt Gingrich – Supports private health mandates, turning millions of unemployed Americans into indentured criminals in 2014. Supports food and drug regulation. Supports global warming. Supports domestic non-defense regulation. Opposes gun rights. (source)

Rick Santorum – Supports private health mandates, turning millions of unemployed Americans into indentured criminals in 2014. (source) Occasional weakness on the abortion issue. (source) Opposes gun rights. Supports labor union interests. (source) (more on Rick Santorum)

In 1994 we had a free-market Republican Revolution of Deregulation.
In 2010, we had a limited-government Republican Tea Party Revolution of Small Government.

We had Soviet Socialism. We have Cuban Socialism. We have Chinese Socialism.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is American Socialism.

Welcome to the American Socialist Revolution of 2012.
Brought to you by the Republican Party.

Well, it’s your property, and when you get robbed, you call the police to defend your property, right?

It’s too early for anything to be said. Iowa is only the first state, next week being New Hampshire, and there are 48 other states still.

Yes I was very disappointed with Mitt Romney’s 8-vote lead over Rick Santorum.

I was happy though that Rick Santorum got so high, he a least has a Religious Right background to his neoconism.

I was happy that Ron Paul got 3rd place, defeating the anti-deregulation “New” Gingrich.

I was happy to see Ron Paul bring up Cpl. Jesse Thorsen to speak during Ron’s speech, a soldier who was a convenient victim of “technical difficulties” which spread rapidly throughout the Internet within only a few minutes.

But not happy about this at all.

I was unhappy that “New” Gingrich, who came in below Ron Paul at 4th, during his speech, acted sour and criticized Ron Paul rather than offering anything useful to his supporters.

I have mixed feelings about Michele Bachmann’s resignation. While I have respect for her, and she would be my second choice, her resignation could help bring up Ron Paul’s numbers, my first choice.

And most importantly, I was happy that of the pledged Iowa delegates, Ron Paul got the same amount as Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney. It’s a great start for an exceptional candidate.

BTW I’m dumping the auto-tagging. It’s been terrible since I started with it.

A little over a month old, but deserves a post here. From the YouTube uploader fotop06:

Adam Carolla breaking down the current occupy wallstreet movement in simple terms for everyone to understand. He dives into the cultural reasons that lead us into this situation, as well as the solution to our problems… Very similar to Ron Paul’s chapter on envy in his latest book, liberty defined.

Liberals continue to aid and abet Muslim terrorism with anti-”hate speech” policies. Here’s the latest to make the blogosphere, from The Gateway Pundit:

WordPress took down Bare Naked Islam Blog today after threats from CAIR.

Quoting PR Newswire:

CAIR said visitors to “Bare Naked Islam,” hosted by WordPress.com, now see the message: “barenakedislam.wordpress.com is no longer available. This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service.”

[NOTE: "Bare Naked Islam" was one of the major promoters of the campaign to pressure Lowe's to drops its ads from TLC's "All-American Muslim."]

Last month, CAIR called on the FBI to investigate the threats of violence targeting mosques posted on the blog and urged WordPress.com to remove it for violating the hosting company’s terms of service (TOS), which prohibit blogs that “contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities.” [note: these were comments by visitors, not blog posts]

Three posts (1 2 3) on Bare Naked Islam’s Twitter page read:

BARE NAKED ISLAM has been taken down by WordPress thanks to CAIR terrorists. Looking for a new host now.

CAIR threatened WordPress staffers with violence: [link]

SHOCKER! WP has reinstated my blog and say CAIR did not pressure them. But they still want me gone by Jan 6
