Breaking news - Australian government to filter all Youtube videos ! - mass censorship

Urgent call to Action for all Australians - tell your friends and family about this urgent issue now , please spread the word:

Something utterly terrible is happening in Australia right now and everyone worldwide needs to know about this -  We are seeing a democratic country essentially losing the right to free speech.

The Australian public doesn't understand how dangerous this new internet filter will be , please I'm asking all Australians to write letters to your federal ministers now  and join this facebook protest.. our country is going to turn out just like China with freedom of speech something of the past ... nothing on the web will be censor free .. and remember how I said they would extend this filter well I was right - now youtube will be fully filtered and videos will be censored by the government  - its the beginning of the end.. we must stop this now!.  

I mean it was only today that i heard on CNN that Iran manipulated the web using its internet filtering to stop its people hearing about protests  .. For state run countries like Iran and China i guess you would expect the governments to pull something like this but for a democratic country like Australia to roll this out its a  disgrace!.

Google was shocked and angrily rejected the Australian governments call to filter all videos on youtube, things like euthanasia,  graffiti and anything deemed illegal activities by the Australian government will no longer be allowed on youtube - i was shocked to hear this too.

Here's the response from Google:
GOOGLE has angrily rejected a call from the Australia government to filter YouTube videos, after the Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, said if the search engine could censor material for China, it should do the same in Australia.

Google Australia head of policy Iarla Flynn said in a statement the company questions the government's proposal to block content that is refused classification.

"YouTube has clear policies about what content is not allowed, for example hate speech and [ornography and we enforce these, but we can't give any assurance that we would voluntarily remove all Refused Classification (RC) content from YouTube."
 


"The scope of RC is simply too broad and can raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information. RC includes the grey realms of material instructing in any crime from graffiti to politically controversial crimes such as euthanasia and exposing these topics to public debate is vital for democracy."

 In an interview with the ABC's 
Hungry Beast show on Wednesday night, Senator Conroy said applying filters to high-traffic sites such as YouTube would slow down the internet, ''so we're currently in discussions with Google about … how we can work this through''.

''What we're saying is, well in Australia, these are our laws and we'd like you to apply our laws,'' he said. ''Google at the moment filters an enormous amount of material on behalf of the Chinese government; they filter an enormous amount of material on behalf of the Thai government.'' 

So why not apply China's filtering style for the Australian government - he is essentially getting at!  article source

Please note to all our US and UK friends if this law passes and filtering is successfuly passed
down under you can expect this coming your way.....

Why people worldwide should be concerned about this ?
Australia being a smaller first world nation has recently been a test case for many multinational and governments worldwide - essentially all eyes are on Australia at the moment . Recent cases include ebay testing its failed forced paypal only payment system,  the film companies packing together to sue IInet an ISP for allowing movie torrents and the TGA (like the FDA) a few years ago implementing the codex reforms indirectly via a fear campaign against vitamins with the PAN scandal (for which the government was sued for handling incorrectly years later on).

The public needs to stand up otherwise  bureaucracy and corporations win with their agendas in the end!

Atlas 5 rocket launched - NASA's urgent attempt to study the 2012-13 solar storms

I like many of you all just watched the successful launch of the Atlas 5 rocket by NASA today. As you may know the mission of the recent rocket launch is to establish NASA's new Solar Dynamics Observatory. Nasa says the purpose of the SDO is to  "understand the Sun's influence on Earth and Near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small scales of space and time and in many wavelengths simultaneously."

I find that the timing of the launch and its mission of 5 years  extremely co-incidental, especially  considering the upcoming solar storms during the peak of the years 2012 - 2013 . Also a note to everyone NASA has revised  the dates of solar maximum - so this means  the peak of the potentially devastating solar  storms  will now occur around mid-May of 2013 not 2012 as previously thought.

Many believe the mission is a clear and urgent attempt by NASA to study solar changes to predict their strategic impact on earth infrastructures, communications and power grids during the potentially catastrophic solar storms of 2012-13. Eg; By predicting large X+ solar flares in advance before the radiation and EMF interference hits earth, power stations can be turned off temporarily to reduce damage to the grid.

NASA has admitted the upcoming solar storms during the peak of this solar cycle will be the worst  experienced in the modern age but they have downplayed dooms day scenarios to some extent.... but clearly their funding and launch of the SDO today is an admission they are taking the solar changes very seriously.
NASA talking about the SDO launch and mission:

You may have seen this video so  either way since the time of this video NASA has revised that the solar maximum - ie the peak of the storms  to now occur around mid-May of 2013

Australia joins the likes of China and Iran - their new Internet Filter

I warned and posted about this a while ago and sadly the Australian government has almost won and their country wide internet filter will likely come into action very soon....

The greatest concern here is the items included in the nations blacklist of banned sites, particularly as this blacklist is to remain secret so no one will really have what idea the government is banning. The government intendeds to ban hundreds of web sites (and even torrents) on terrorism and child pornography and while their immediate intentions are great their is potential for the government and future governments to abuse this privilege in the years to come . Many are concerned that in the future, corporate pressure may lead the government to extend this ban to music downloads, P2P file sharing and movie torrents.. so who knows where this will end.

In particular, as the blacklist can be upgraded and added to secretly whenever the government deems necessary, no website is free from the governments censorship.  In Finland, for instance, a man who runs a website arguing that the blacklist approach is ineffective was called in for questioning last year after publishing "a list of a few hundred censored sites." His own site was then placed on the blacklist, which means that visitors from Finland aren't allowed the information to debate the issue and decide for their selves.

Its a total disgrace that the Australia public have allowed this communist style Internet filtering legislation to make it almost through parliament - what ever happened to value of democracy - i.e. free speech?. Its perceived that the Australia's internet filtering will be a test case for governments worldwide with an eventual roll out of web filtering in the US, UK and Europe after review of Australia's situation.

Just like failed ebay forced paypal measure and the IINet vs the film companies court cases - Australia is seen as a test case for the world on many levels. Some people have commented this is reminiscent of a new world order type pressure to control information over the internet.

Many Internet websites in protest have highlighted that: "No government should have the right to refuse its citizens access to information solely because they perceive it to be 'unwanted',". Information is power and those who are unable to access this information become powerless - just think of the Chinese trying to research Tibet or Tiananmen square on Google in china - they can't period! because of  internet filtering.

Its a dangerous path Australia is taking..No website will be free from this filtering (including this site) and while the Australian governments intentions are good at present , who knows what this could lead to for the future of the internet.

The best way to voice you conern is to send a letter to your state and federal representative in Australia

In retaliation , Hackers worldwide have in  taken down numerous Australian government websites in the last few days .. while this action is not acceptable it shows you how desperate this issue now is:

Groups opposing the government's internet censorship plans have condemned today's attacks on government websites, saying it will do little to help their cause, while Communications Minister Stephen Conroy called them "totally irresponsible".

The Parliament of Australia website, aph.gov.au, was down for a period this morning, while access to the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy's website was patchy.
A spokesman for the Department of Parliamentary Services, which runs the Parliament House website, said at the peak of the attack the site was receiving 7.5 million hits a second, up from the few hundred per second it normally receives.
He said the website was inaccessible for about an hour from 8am, and was offline intermittently due to the four attacks that had been detected by lunchtime.

New sun spots forming - the start of the 2012 solar storms?

As we approach 2012 - the peak of solar storm cycle , there is evidence that the sun is already starting to experience major new activity this week:
(Also - is it no co-incidence NASA is to launch the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) tomorrow ? - an urgent attempt to study the sun as we approach 2012? ).

A new group of spots is traversing the face of the sun. Sunspot group 1045 is an active region that has produced moderate (M-class) solar flares.
The spots could unleash a major (X-class) flare, though that probability is low, according to the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center.

Sunspots are areas of intense magnetic activity, cooler than the surrounding solar surface. They act like caps on a soda bottle, and when things are shaken up sufficiently, the caps blow and a flare of radiation is released, often along with a cloud of charged particles called a coronal mass ejection.

Such space weather can pound Earth's protective magnetic field, with the most severe X-class storms crippling satellites and having the potential to knock out power grids on Earth.
Each of the new spot in the group is about twice the diameter of Earth, according to Spaceweather.com.

Experienced backyard astronomers with properly outfitted telescopes can easily see the spots. However, looking at the sun through a telescope without a proper safety lens can permanently damage your eyes. Continue reading - space

Home Documentary - for the skeptics

This is a public service (non-Ufo) post, which i would like your comments on.

If your a climate skeptic i urge you to seriously to watch this highly important documentary on earth ecology and climatic concerns. It totally makes you re-think the skeptic view that humans are too small to make an impact on the earth..

This reminds me .. last week i flew across the US from one side to the other - from LA to chicargo  and i was astounded as i looked out for hours the whole inner part of the US continent from one side to the other is  basically all agricultural fields as far as the eye can see - with hardly any trees (this has to impact on things right?).   I've also noticed alot of climatic concerns on my  travels  - the week before i left we had a record hot week in australia (over 104 degress fareheit 4 days in a row)..  then during my time vancover they were complaining it was an unusally warm winter and they were worried didn't have enough snow for the games . I know this seems all random but these things may be connected...

The truth is we can't deny we have dramatically changed the whole planet , from country to country - no part now remains untouched from humans.

I strongly feel that everyone needs to watch this documentary here and seriously contemplate what we are doing and have done to the Earth: (your comments appreciated)


This documentary chronicles the present day state of the Earth, its climate and how we as the dominant species have long-term repercussions on its future. A theme expressed throughout the documentary is that of linkage—how all organisms and the Earth are linked in a "delicate but crucial" natural balance with each other, and how no organism can be self-sufficient.

UFO Patents - evidence private industry knows Ufos are real ?

Many people in the Ufo community say you only have to look at the patents taken out on advanced propulsion to know that private industry takes ufo seriously.

Infact, alot of my readers would be shocked to know that on a daily basis this site repeatedly gets hits from boeing, NASA, JPL , lockheead and many private aeropsace companies. Its not uncommon for ufologists as well to get enquires for further information on UFO sightings from these aerospace companies.

Many of these 'private companies' are really outsourced arms of the US military who are attempting to improve the speed and capability of their current aifcraft through research. When private industry is putting billions into patents and research on Ufo-like technology you can bet the phenomenon is real and back enegineering is in progress.
Its a strategic advantage to any military to have the fastest craft and essential for future space travel.
The commercial implications of this are huge as well - I mean Imagine if we could replace passenger airplanes with something much more fuel efficient and faster - this will mean big money for these companies in the future.

Here is some evidence from patents obtained by private companies over the last 50 years . It is startling that this Ufo patent rush started exactly after 1947 ( does roswell ring a bell anyone? ). These UFO patents are in the public domain and cover UFO sightings, including propulsion 60 times more powerful than rockets, glowing spheres in the sky, and the lay-person explanation of electrogravitic propulsion:

A closer look at Dugway proving grounds in Utah (The new Area 51)

As you may have seen, the Ufo hunters series did an episode last year on what many in the Ufo community think to be the new area 51 - the Dugway proving grounds in Utah. There is alot of interesting things to be seen from google earth over this area . Many people have reported extremely bright lights over the area last year and i would like to hear from anyone nearby to Dugway who may have witnessed such events...



Mars Anomoly site has a great new post on Dugway looking at some real strange images from recent satellite captures on google earth. Check them out here

There are a great many interesting and strange things going on at Dugway but this reporting only hits on some of the highlights that can be revealed in surface satellite imaging and is not meant as a comprehensive examination, so don't expect that here. Even so, this large report will contain 15 images and all of them big ones with large file sizes, so do expect slow downloading times.

Bright objects near scotland Power plant Jan 2010

Bright lights near what looks like some power plant in scotland jan 2010.. they may be lanterns so i am not sure:

Mystery object seen near brazilian air force

This man captured what seems to be a strange oject trailing behind the brazilian air force show in May 2009.. may be a bird but it does look disc like ..
Here's the full untouched Image: any comments?

The planes of the acrobactic squadron of the brazilian air force were passing low over my neighborhood. These photos were taken from the same window of the sunset ones. Note in the photo DSCN8515, a small object on the left, behind the planes. At that time, I speculated with friends that it could be a bird, insect or even a cigarette thrown by someone on a higher floor (I live on the 4th). It looks like having volume to me, with a shadow and lighter on the top. I've never seen something, I couldn't explain, only these two objects.

Good news! - Chinese Lanterns may be banned in the UK

As you all know Chinese lanterns are a major nuisance to Ufology as they are often mistaken for Ufos because they hover very high and have no sound. So its great to hear they may be banned in the UK.
This will give us better chance to pay closer attention to the real thing.
Peers are calling on the Government to ban Chinese paper lanterns, because of a risk to cows, sheep and other livestock.

Sales of Chinese lanterns have increased dramatically in the last two years The House of Lords called for an end to their use following concerns expressed by the National Farmers' Union.

The large paper lanterns, each containing a candle and made of paper and a wire frame, are often released into the air to mark weddings, birthdays or other celebrations.They can drift for several miles and land in rural fields. Baroness Janet Fookes says the pretty decorations pose a danger to animals. A cow died recently after eating a piece of a lantern's wire frame, which ruptured its stomach.


Lantern frames are harmful to animals .The lanterns have also caused the death of a foal, which was put down after injuring itself on a fence after being spooked by the mysterious floating light.



 As well as raising concern for animal welfare, the lanterns are frequently mistaken for UFOs as they drift across towns and cities. Rural affairs minister Bryan Davies has urged manufacturers to make the lanterns biodegradable.

They have been banned in parts of China after being deemed a fire hazard, as well as causing delays to dozens of flights
