SEX WITH COMMON HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES! (Is the government planning another attempt to censor the Internet?) A funny thing has been happening in my email lately. Just a few weeks ago, both my wife and I started getting junk mail advertising porno sites. Not your average run-of-the-mill porno either, but really extreme stuff, seemingly intended to shock and outrage, advertising photos of sex involving under age partners and with life forms having more than two legs! In most cases, the mechanism to remove ones address from these mailing lists does not work. Some of my friends have also started getting these ads as well. And a phone call to my local ISP confirms that this has become a problem in recent weeks, with people suddenly being recipients of ads for "fringe market" porn. Nobody can imagine how a company that deals in that sort of product line managed to get our names on their email addresses. Ah, but all this has a familiar feel to it! Back in 1995, before web browsers had really taken off and usenet was still the predominant means of social communication on the internet, there was a sudden influx of pornography being flooded onto the usenet newsgroups. Like the present case, the porno was of a character which seemed intended to shock and outrage. Even though there were (and still are) usenet newsgroups set aside for this kind of material, this particular flood of porn was being posted to usenet groups normally used for trading cooking recipes, sharing astronomical data, etc. When the readers of those non-sexual groups gently suggested that the posters of the porn move their activities to the usenet groups set aside for such things, the posters responded with a few obscene comments and proceeded to pour even more "fringe market" porn into totally inappropriate venues, including those likely to be viewed by children. Knowing that nobody but an FBI informant could ever be such an arrogant ass hole, knowledgeable internet observers began to suspect that the source of the porn had to be a government propaganda operation (not unlike the infamous Black Panther Coloring Book from the FBI's COINTELPRO scandal), and indeed headers of some of the posted porn tracked back through .gov and .mil servers. We didn't have long to wait. Only a few weeks after this sudden onslaught of porn in inappropriate newsgroups appeared out of nowhere, Senator Exon stood up on the floor of the U.S. Senate during debate on the Senate Telecommunications Competition and Deregulation Act, waving about his now-infamous "blue book" of net-porn and demanded laws that (among other things) allowed for the operators of internet service providers to be held legally liable for the behaviors of their customers. The mainstream media, then as now the obeiscent servant of the state's agenda, droned on and on about how "everyone" in the nation had to be aware that porn was now an epidemic requiring government intervention. Exon got his law passed. And, in the most telling sign of all, no sooner had the law been passed then, like a switch, the porn "epidemic" was gone. Overnight, those parties who had poured a flood of shocking and outraging porn all over usenet simply vanished; subtlety and finesse never having been a part of the US Government's Propaganda machine. So now we are in a time when the US Government is waging open warfare on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The only venue of mass communication not yet under total control of the state is the internet, which functions as a modern day descendant of the "Samizdat"; the network of fax machines and copiers that allowed the citizens of the former USSR to expose the corruption of their government, leading to its collapse. And just as the Stalinists wanted to shut down the Samizdat, so too does the government of the United States, fearful of having its own corruptions exposed, search for a way to close down the free and open internet; to bring it under control of the state much as the mainstream media has been. So when you open your email application and start seeing ads for "Sex with home appliances", "Sex with space aliens", or "Sex with politicians", you may be seeing your own tax dollars at work, to trick you into support of the government taking over control of the very last means of open and uncensored communications available to you, to plug that one last opening in the wall the government is building around your eyes and ears, so that you will have no choice but to believe that the world is really what the government tells you it is. And when that same government that leaves you no choice tells you that you are free, you will have no choice but to believe that as well, even though common sense will tell you that those without choices are really slaves, even if they do not realize it. |
