megaupload shutdown.

[diligentcircle]

I think some of the conspiracy theorists need to ease up a bit in this thread... that shit is poisonous to the mind.


News articles only present so much of the real picture, and even after getting a view of that you don't know all the consequences of the presidential signing action. The NDAA just reaffirms the AUMF, and if you think that the law constitutionally allows the government to withhold a U.S. citizen without trial, think again... and again (look carefully, it's a different case). There were other provisions in that bill, so maybe Obama begrudgingly signed it just to get the rest through. And if you think the Supreme Court won't hear challenges about laws the people don't like, they're hearing the case on health care in March. My guess is that they'll strike down the individual mandate, who knows.


But seriously, stop with the batshit crazy talk. Let's talk about SOPA and not things that are only related because they have government-conspiracy-claim underpinnings.

You're confusing me. Who's talking about the NDAA?

Sorry, I should have been more explicit:

You raise good points, Link, but I refer more to StreaK. I'm not so much trying to argue as getting people to back their statements up.

Do You really think i'm writing stuff without evidence?

bacisally, from 2012 all US Citizen can be canned to jail, without any charge or trial into law .

... which is a misperception at best, a misrepresentation at worst.

One way on another , they will push the envelope, to find a straight way to can every troubled US citizen to jail..

Here's an interesting take on why Megaupload was really shut down.

See, now THAT would explain the previously reported yet inexplicable involvement of that 'Swizz Beatz' (Husband of Alicia Keys) fella. All the reports I'd seen & read referred to him as being involved in the Megaupload business directly, with 'promotion to CEO' to come. This paints a different picture indeed.

His last name is legally Dotcom.
