Also Springer, I have to ask you how you think you can insure delivery (and full functionality) of ATS if the DNS servers are throttled by the US
power structure. I do agree with BH here. Any forum which relies upon technology, and which allows any sort of subject to be discussed in open
forum, is at risk by those persons who can misdirect or redirect traffic on the net.
Anyway, here is a link about COPE. Yes the Internet is at risk. ATS should organize a "cause" and get people writing letters. 60,000 pieces of
signed mail might keep the Internet around for a little while longer. Okay I am being dramatic, but on a five to ten year timeline, I can see IP
becoming like cel phone service where you have to have a T-Mobile internet to call a T-Mobile internet (if that makes sense)

There are so MANY ways to keep this site up NO MATTER what "they" try it's truly not funny... It's EASY. Renting bandwidth on a non US satellite
would be the last resort but certainly doable.
Nobody is throtteling ATS. THey can't, it's too big, terabytes take WAY too long to deal with.
Besides that we know exactly when something is posted and when it "appears".
Server logs are great
Even BETTER if the web become 100% cel technology- The airwaves are still FREE, anybody can buy a cable or tap one. Good luck trying to keep up with
the greatest digital minds on the planet who don't want you to read their stuff. Encryption is always a game of "who's FIRST".
Starting a "cause on ATS" is exactly the
WRONG thing to do. GENUINE Neutrality and independence is the ONLY answer mate... There is NOTHING
that can keep us down if we don't want to be down
except breaking a law.
"Supporting" Any cause IS A SURE FIRE WAY for them to
write a law that makes the "cause" illegal and pin our hides with that new law. At
that point we GIVING them a weakness to attack us with. See what I mean? When there is NO WAY to "pin" or (more importantly) ATTACH us to
ANYTHING (we accept ALL sides of an issue for DISCUSSION) it's impossible to get around our law firm...
IF the rule of law breaks down then it's ALL PIRATE RADIO all the time anyways.
THIS is how Humanity has survived ALL the despots and dictators to date, today we have this INCREDIBLE technology that our Father's never had. We can
communicate across the globe INSTANTLY, nobody has EVER had that power before. Communications play a MAJOR role in outing scumbags. they can't sell
their B.S. on the front end when people who have seen the "back end results" are telling the new recruits the real deal.
I say again...
"ATS has NO OPINION, this site takes NO SIDE, this site ONLY DENIES IGNORANCE" What people choose to do with that is utterly
up to THEM.
Springer...
Thanks
