European Parliament Official In Charge Of ACTA Quits, And Denounces The 'Masquerade' Behind ACTA, page 1

well if you ever needed proof the whole ACTA saga was anti democratic read this ,

This is interesting. Kader Arif, the "rapporteur" for ACTA, has quit that role in disgust over the process behind getting the EU to sign onto ACTA. A rapporteur is a person "appointed by a deliberative body to investigate an issue." However, it appears his investigation of ACTA didn't make him very pleased:
I want to denounce in the strongest possible manner the entire process that led to the signature of this agreement: no inclusion of civil society organisations, a lack of transparency from the start of the negotiations, repeated postponing of the signature of the text without an explanation being ever given, exclusion of the EU Parliament's demands that were expressed on several occasions in our assembly.

now i cant confirm the varisity of the story but would love others opinion on if this story if true is anti democractic.

this is not about piracy weather right or wrong,
this thread is about a law pushed through with out public submitions that will restrict the net.

if the man in charge of the ACTA legislation for the EU says this is an afont to true democracy and is proven to be true then
acta is anti democractic legislation passed without public or industry imput for the benifit a very small minority of people.

this is not democracy this is a joke,



so if the guy who was in charge of passage of this bill, descibes the process as anti democractic and resigns because it was worked out in secracy without any public imput.

this ACTA was written in seceret and passed without any peep out of the mainstream media.

ACTA is anti democractic
destroy it

notice how the trolls stay away from this one... always trying to assure key import does not show for long on the key news hose..

yes this news is right. There is also a article in German and a french source article.

The EU parliament hadn't time to discuss it, it was completely rushed, although the parliament raised concerns about it. But concerns were just ignored. The now resigned official expressed that this contract will have massive implications on the citizen of Europe, while the EU commission claims that ACTA has no influence on the EU legislation.

This is what members of Poland's government did when they went to vote on the same legislation.

They have also been under attack by anonymous since they voted on it.

That might be the reason, but I suspect this is about planting the seeds for a future fascist revolution. Fascism at it's core is about political vengeance.

It is like the whole "Rules for Radical's" progressives and the left seems to be obsessive about. If taken to fruition; the complete economic and social collapse of America, who really benefits?

The Communist's? Hell no. Communist states can only be formed via deceit(ballot stuffing then quick closing the doors, but still requires a large amount of popular support), pure strength(as in a military communist coup), or a long period of stupendous social wealth.

By destroying art, literature, people moral's, hopes and dreams, they are already doing all the hard work for the fascist's(no need for book burnings etc). So when the fascist sweep into power they will bring with them stunning displays of art, literature. And the fascist's will raise peoples hopes and dreams to the sky.

And in the end they will be loved for vanquishing the evil "progressives..etc".

Add in my growing suspicions that feminism is nothing more then a kind of meme cryostasis for "white supremacy", and given how much messed up stuff Obama is doing in one fell swoop. It leaves the door open for many different, and deeply disturbing possibilities.
