How long will Americans tolerate what is becoming an increasingly fraudelent government before they self discover some effective mechanism to start realing it in?
And here we sit on ATS, often bitching about how our tax money is going to welfare and unemployment and health care. If we stopped waging war on our own taxpayers and messing in the affairs of other countries that are no direct threat to us, we would have plenty of money to fund legitimate defense costs and social welfare costs.

It's pretty amazing how brazenly and openly these firms and shadowy organizations do operate, flush with either Homeland Security Money or Department of Defense Money, we literally pay to be at times both degraded and defamed by the Government.

I don't really see any way to combat it, though. It would appear it is the end of the internet as we know it.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Nonprofit Organization
A nonprofit organization (abbreviated as NPO, also known as a not-for-profit organization) is an organization that does not distribute its surplus funds to owners or shareholders, but instead uses them to help pursue its goals.
Examples of NPOs include charities (i.e., charitable organizations), trade unions, trade associations and public arts organizations.
Most governments and government agencies meet this definition, but in most countries they are considered a separate type of organization and not counted as NPOs.
In most countries, NPOs are exempt from income and property taxation.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Non-Governmental Organization
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted organization created by natural or legal persons that operates independently from any government.
The term is usually used by governments to refer to entities that have no government status.
In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status by excluding government representatives from membership in the organization.
The term is usually applied only to organizations that pursue some wider social aim that has political aspects, but that are not overtly political organizations such as political parties.
Unlike the term "intergovernmental organization", the term "non-governmental organization" has no generally agreed legal definition.
In many jurisdictions, these types of organization are called "civil society organizations" or referred to by other names.

After reading that piece of fiction you wrote, I am wondering if you are a sock puppet for another nation. I'm willing to bet you are a radical living in a foreign country somewhere. You saw how this site was used against United States citizens, and you decided to take advantage of some people's ignorance.edit on 23-4-2011 by Section31 because: (no reason given)

Hey Proto,
You play the piano while I rearrange the deck chairs!
When the chairs are done we can spend the last few minutes with a couple magnums of Dom P.!

Why don't the owner of the site just block the core ip address coming from that location? Or people that are on the site, knowing this is happening, just ignore these people like res headed step children. let them just talk and never get any responses. That is the only reason they do it is they are wanting attention to their agenda and they are getting it. The owner of the site should put a banner on the site warning people that come to the site (and add a video) that there are trollers that frequent te site and that they have a personal, antagonistical agenda and that they should just ignore the perpetrators until they can be properly delt with. All good idea no? Stop giving them their attention and they will go away.
