Reply #7: there are tricks to block (e.g. nullrouting) foreign websites [View All]

Basically, the way it goes is consolidate the ISP's, control them from right-wing fronts (e.g. defense contractors), then they all collude in nullrouting foreign blogs and unfriendly foreign news sites.

Then legislate domestic blogs into censorable positions (e.g. nobody can self-host their own webserver by law or collusive corporate policy) and the internet is locked down except for realtime chat over other protocols (e.g. IRC).

Then those can be monitored and either the Homeland Offense Gestapo can disappear anyone who says the wrong things on them or the ISP oligopoly can ban anyone who says such things off the net.

Then there's crypto. All that has to be done there is legislating it out of existence. Sniffers watch for encrypted protocols, and the Homeland Offense Gestapo can disappear anyone who uses them.

There's Bushler's plan (or something very close to it). Any questions?
