Now, don’t get the wrong impression; I haven’t been arrested and charged with a federal felony–yet. Nor is the preparation done in anticipation of a guest stint on “America’s Next Top Model”–but as a [...]

(This is a reposting of the piece originally written for UK Progressive.) December 1st, 2011, the US Senate accomplished the unthinkable–with the nearly unanimous passage of the National Defense Authorization Bill of 2012–THEY COMMITTED TREASON.

By: Jeanine Molloff A “Net Neutrality’ Primer Today the concept of an uncensored open internet came one step closer to extinction.  The rule of ‘net neutrality’ has been dealt a fatal blow as FCC rules were on their way to the circular file.
