03 U.N. takeover of the Internet
Cyber criminals taking over the internet In December, an
organization of self-important, foreign bureaucrats will
meet to decide the fate of the Internet. WCIT-12 is a
landmark global treaty-making conference that will define
the general principles for the provision and operation of
international telecommunications networks around the world.
Somehow they have the notion that the Internet is an entity
that can be taken over by the United Nations.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
04 Taking Back Your Internet
Cyber criminals taking over the internet We start with a
fundamental question: Is this an Internet we all have a
stake in, or an Internet we are subjected to?end quote
As long as spam, phishing, malware and unsolicited email
exploits exist in an unaccountable structure, we are all
subjects of other parties. The dirty secret is that the
Internet is mandated to be accountable but is operated
in violation of this mandate for a handful of beneficiaries.

I have started to produce a 'newsletter' monthly for

Staples the past 2 months.

11 Quote: Mahatma Gandhi
"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I
keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing,
it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable
of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I
can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even
if I may not have it at the beginning."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
