Chinese Climb Great Wall Over ‘Net Censorship
The Daily Bell
Another relentlessly excellent article from The Daily Bell. Seriously, if you are not reading The Daily Bell on the DAILY, you need to be. This article discusses the difficulty of censoring the internet and why all the anti-NWO’ers need to chill out. The gold nugget of the article:
If you can (through promotional means) convince people that the forces attempting to run the world are so mighty that no change is possible, well, that’s half the battle right there – if you’re part of the elite anyway. Discourage people from trying to change their lot by issuing frightening books such as 1984 (George Orwell was a member of the British Secret Service) or set up websites that constantly harp on the implacability of an upcoming “one world empire” and you’ve gone some distance to intimidate people and discourage dissension.
But very possibly it just ain’t true. And we think our world view is at least to a degree validated by what’s going on today. The Internet is in collision with almost every dominant social theme the power elite has developed recently. We think we can discern the Internet’s fine hand in upsetting so many promotions – the chaos that has overtaken the EU, the American Tea Parties’ anti-government stance, the growing resistance to America’s serial wars, the shriveling of the Green movement and global warming in particular, the evolving difficulties faced by central banks and fiat money (and loss of credibility), the renaissance in the price of gold and silver (ever hated by the elites), and on and on.
The above is not unlike your typical commentary from The Daily Bell. Sharply realistic and positively optimistic.

Kids speak candidly about Homeschooling! Should you home school? Part 2
This is a great interview with REAL kids with REAL thoughts on homeschooling, government schooling, and the education system in general. Is it just me or does their “lack” of government “education” show? These are two very confident, intelligent, and emotionally mature children. Great information and great perspectives. A must see.

Infoliberalism, a theory and project for an online freedom revolution
Posted by Sylvain Poirier
Infoliberalism, is a set of concepts which I developed, specifying some logical features that need to be implemented in the form of open source software for web servers, with a new protocol (on top of existing protocols), to be the platform of a new self-sustained free and decentralised online economy and money system that would make most of government interventions and other coercive systems obsolete.
Who doesn’t like the sound of that? Interesting thoughts on the future of freedom and anti-state activism. I personally plan on researching this further, so don’t be surprised to see more updates on this type of subject.
