The manner in which unsanctioned anti-democratic organizations
control what amounts to the global communications network is a
crime unto itself. Citizens utilizing this infra-structure posses
no legal protections, no constitutional safeguards and no basic
rights or liberties of any variety. We are subject to the chimeric
whims of technocrats lost in the clouds of their stock options,
fancy job titles and droll rotation of globe hopping symposiums
and conferences. Left with no protections we are virtually
helpless, hapless and hopeless.
The concept of privacy and personal rights and freedoms on the
net are fully nul and void. The whole convoluted mess rambles on
generating profits for the lever-controllers and box managers
and everything is fine and dandy. Except for the pervading fact
that bloody security, mechanical network integrity and smooth
technical functioning of the machinery do not supercede precious
inalienables and undeniables. Except for the truth that people
and their intercourses are openly, randomly and completely subject
to limitless interferances and interventions.
IETF, ISOC, ICANN, ITU and whatever other unsanctioned, informal
acretion of pseudo-authority should arise are no places to look
for solutions. They embody the problem. They ARE the proble. To
search elsewhere is our only alternative. Tou route around, to
undermine, to quietly innovate clever detours and innovations.
Because the moment the unchanging cast of central authorites
are deposed is the moment a solution becomes workable. Look no
further than your own self, your own capabilities and capacities.
Anyone who seeks freedom or solace from those who benifit the most
from our control and the maintenance of their influence can only
impede evolution.
Alive and very much well, all my opinions only, a very insignificant
observer among the masses of the great unplugged, I remain,
