#SOPA #PIPA #ACTA: The Internet War Has Begun! (updated)

- Dr. Diana Hsieh is responding to questions on #SOPA, Internet piracy, and intellectual property during her weekly live webcast Philosophy in Action. For links mentioned in the webcast, check the archive - H/t @YerRamautarsing Blog: Atlantis -

#SOPA (coincidentally Shut Up! in Greek) is in the intensive care unit of the US Congress (#
SOPA in the House and the ugly twin Bill #PIPA in the Senate).
The European Bill is called #ACTA. It's such an appalling assault on liberty that even the EuroComiCzar for the Internet, Iron Lady Neelie Kroes has come out against it.

Oops! pOmo Spills the Beans: Your Money Is Worthless!

While the rate of the euro plunged through the cellar floor this week for no apparent and direct reason #clusterfuck, evidence came in that pOmo mOney is nothing more than hot air: it has no value. This is what we recently wrote in a clarification of the posting entitled, "HOAX! they're Collapsing the Financial System!"
These pomo perceptions are actually short cuts to 'something for nothing', the mindset of the criminal. There's a word for coveting a value without wanting to do the necessary effort, or paying the price: it's called theft. The crime caught fire by Marx, who proposed to abolish money, so that material inequality might become a thing of the past.
What is money? Money is a thing in itself (paper, metal), but the real value is in the energy and the material of the surplus production which it represents. Fiat money is just money in itself (paper and metal) without the value of the surplus production. Without a gold standard or some other value reference, it is hot air, funny money.

Book! The Tragedy of the Euro (free PDF)



"The Tragedy of the Euro", by Philipp Bagus, in the vid eloquently reviewed by lengthyounarther, is much more exciting than the boring interviews with Bagus on the YouTube channels of Misesmedia and GoldMoney.com. But even those come warmly recommended to students of the euro disaster zone.

For New Year's Eve the Mises Institute has kindly released a free PDF of the book. Considering the crisis please consider leaving the fire crackers for what they are this year and hop into bed with The Tragedy and an adult beverage (try not to flatten the crisps between the sheets!).

Auld lang syne, peeps! 'twas a beast of a year. Looking forward to the next episode.

HOAX! they're Collapsing the Financial System!

This article and this one here, and this one explain precisely how the economic-monetary system is being blown up. The pOmo war on reality strikes again!
Let's clarify this! Take a concept like, peace. Tensions and clashing interests will have to be absorbed by self control and endless parley, opine the peaceniks. What they are actually proposing is pretending there's a state of peace. Which makes it an end in itself. But guess what? Sooner or later stress will rebuild. It's a natural state of affairs. You can't make that go away by merely wishing it. Thought does not make reality.

#EUSSR: Welcome in the Fiscal Compact #FU



As the dust of the 10th EU summit of the year is settling, it's turning out Britain #FU isn't as isolated as some extremely bigoted oyrophiles #FU would have it. The episode clearly illustrates just how free one is to answer the demands of 'solidarity'. Who dares to refuse to sacrifice national sovereignty to the collective, is shred to pieces by the euro harpies #FU

OMG! The Flemish Talibans Are Coming!



No, this isn't Monty Python, but the real deal: true salafi hakhbars from Flanders. And yes, they are hilarious, and again yes, they want a hatebeard Khalifate from Kamtchatka to the American West coast, from sea to shining sea. Who is able to evade this evidence is an amoral, decadent denier of Evil and ought to have his psychological hygiene checked.

COP17: Climate Debt Reparations Put on Ice


If the ongoing banking, credit 2.0, debt and oyro crises has any collateral damage, it's that there's no money left for decadent climate hysterical hobbies like the mass transfer of rights and funds under the guise of eco justice. The COP17 at Durban has been a resounding failure. But that was not for lack of wanting!
