the transparent society, according to socialist politicians

You can trust socialist government with your life,

if you have nothing to hide.

Italy’s defeated socialist government posts all citizens’ wage details on the web

“The incomes of every Italian citizen were published on the web without any prior warning by the government, just days before it was due to leave power.

“Claiming it was part of a crackdown on tax evasion, the finance ministry yesterday put details of the declared taxable income of every citizen on the country's tax website.

“The site proved hugely popular. Surprised Italians, delighted at the chance to find out how much their neighbours, colleagues, and high-profile celebrities were earning, bombarded the site within hours of it going live.”

at last - call it what it is! the world’s major economy moves one step closer to a citizen’s wage

“Under the plan, as many as 117 million people would get rebate checks. Individual income tax filers would receive up to $600, working couples would get up to $1,200, and those with children would get an additional $300 per child.”

don’t confuse me with the facts - steyn on the politically correct attack on free speech
page 1 page 2 page 3

“[...] But once the drawings became an international news story it seems absurd to publish reports on the controversy without also showing what all the fuss is about. CNN did show the cartoons, but with the Prophet's face all blurry and pixilated - the first time, I believe, that this familiar technique of investigative TV journalism has been applied not to a human being but to a, er, drawing, as if the cartoon Muhammad had entered the witness protection program.”

“ Messages that make use of allegedly true stories, news reports, pictures and references to apparently reputable sources in an attempt to lend an air of objectivity and truthfulness to the extremely negative characterization of the targeted group have been found to be likely to expose members of the targeted group to hatred and contempt.”

seeing the future - government wants to control your thermostats via radio

And where does government control end and government help start?

“Pacific Gas and Electric, the major utility in Northern California, already has a pilot program in Stockton that allows customers to choose to have their air-conditioning systems attached to a radio-controlled device to reduce use during periods when electricity rates are at their peak.

“But the idea that a government would mandate use of these devices and reserve the power to override a building owner’s wishes galls some people.”

uk blogger threatened with arrest for attacking islamic extremism

“[Lionheart] has been a warrior on the war on the jihad in the UK and exposed the drug running that funded Islamic jihad in Britain and posted on the tsunami of sharia enveloping his beloved country. The Brits have submitted to Islam and they mean to shut down anyone who speaks for freedom, justice and liberty. Silencing the daring truth tellers"."Hate speech" legislation is the club the political elites will wield to club us into submission.”

“I am currently out of the Country and on my return home to England I am going to be arrested by British detectives on suspicion of Stirring up Racial Hatred by displaying written material” contrary to sections 18(1) and 27(3) of the Public Order Act 1986.”
