Is this claim by PC Magazine true? " ... And let's face it, right now the whole Internet scene is a mess. How could regulation be bad (JOHN C. DVORAK. JANUARY 29, 2014. LINK) ...?"

We at MooPig Think Tank disagree; we like the chaos of the Internet.  FCC wants to be a player, and protect its radio and TV turfs. We think that is what they do best, but licencing Internet Content? C'mon! Really? All of it?

The Next Phase of the Internet: Licensing Content Makers | John C. Dvorak | PCMag.com: "This moment in time represents a true golden age of the Internet but such ages are always thwarted in one way of another. For close to 10 years I've been saying that at some point in the future, the Wild West of the Internet will be clamped down and you'll need a license to broadcast content over the Internet. I do not see any trend that does not point in this direction. For a perfect example, look at the debate over net neutrality and filtering or throttling streaming content from the likes of Netflix and Amazon over various mechanisms such as your PC or Roku."

Here's a licencing nightmare for you:

" ... Google Images is a search service owned by Google and introduced in July 2001, that allows users to search the Web for image content.[1] The keywords for the image search are based on the filename of the image, the link text pointing to the image, and text adjacent to the image. When searching for an image, a thumbnail of each matching image is displayed. When the user clicks on a thumbnail, the image is displayed in a box over the website that it came from. The user can then close the box and browse the website, or view the full-sized image (wiki. LINK)..."

Wiki goes on to describe Google Images: " ...In 2001, 250 million images were indexed. In 2005, this grew to 1 billion. By 2010, the index reached 10 billion images. As of July 2010, the service receives over one billion views a day. Google introduced a sort by subject feature for a visual category scheme overview of a search query in May 2011 (wiki. LINK).... "

Think about it; a billion visits per day on Google Images alone, on 10 billion images with all their content. MooPig knows it gets all its domestic and foreign visitors from Google Images. So if FCC gets its way and licences all the content of the Internet, we will cease to exist. Big boy corp's and hogs will then take over the Internet.

CONCLUSION
" ... Signal/RF interference problem does not exist with the Internet, where millions of blogs, podcasts, and video networks can and do co-exist. Thus, some other rationale will eventually be determined to limit access in the same way access was limited to the real radio pioneers (ibid. DVORAK.) ..."

" ... There is already talk about clamping down on various forms of hate speech online. Who determines what constitutes hate speech?
Under the guise of anti-bullying all sorts of real attacks on free speech are now common. "Think of the children" will become the rallying cry as very smart people manage to lock down the net for once and for all using every trick imaginable.
I personally do not think there is anything we can do about the eventual draconian regulation of the Internet by government authorities. It won't be tomorrow (I hope not anyway), but it is coming. Enjoy what we have while it lasts.
I'll be waiting to fill out some forms. I think I can get a license.(ibid. Dvorak) ..."

How Fast is Wikipedia?

Pope Francis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

You know, folks, the new Pope was just elected about two hours ago. Here is a Wiki page already posted online. How smooth is that? Pope Francis: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Pretty darn smooth.

These images were posted to Google Images just 40 minutes ago. We are nearing the speed of light in our communications. Turn on, login, tune in, see life go by.

" ... Argentine Jorge Bergoglio has been elected pope, the first ever from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Pope Francis. After announcing “Habemus Papum” “We have a pope!” a cardinal standing on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday revealed the identity of the new pontiff, using his Latin name. Bergoglio had reportedly finished second in the 2005 conclave that produced Benedict XVI who last month became the first pope to resign in 600 years. The 76-year-old archbishop of Buenos Aires has spent nearly his entire career at home in Argentina, overseeing churches and shoe-leather priests. ... "

MooPig 12 Days of Doom Prep Debunker Department :: "Stranded and no one to Talk to ..."

Prescient warnings are becoming a frightening reality.

Seriously, I don't know where I am going with this article today. Let's just sit back, and see what happens.

Before the year 2012 ended, MooPig found tons of information about "prepping." It is the citizens' facing the reality of a doomsday, and doing something today to ward off impending danger and anarchy. These individual mitigation control projects range from hoarding supplies, building underground bunkers, to bizarre paramilitary training, all because of having knowledge of events before they take place. Following is some related stories ...

Before the year ended, MooPig Doomsday Prep Debunker Department found out it was too late to join the fun. We instead searched for meaning in all the prepping going on, and all its publicity. So, if you can't join them, then it is time to sing...  here is the Preppers' Song ...

-- MEANWHILE --

The Red List: Prepper Put On No Fly List, Escorted Off Plane Under Armed Guard | Market Daily News: " ... When 34-year-old U.S. citizen and Mississippi resident Wade Hicks boarded a military flight to visit his wife, a Navy lieutenant stationed in Okinawa, Japan, he did not think it would be a one-way trip. Stopping off in Hawaii to refuel, upon re-boarding the plane, Hicks was quickly escorted back off again by armed guards. He was then taken to a secure interrogation room where Hicks was informed he would not be flying anywhere because he turned up on the no-fly list. "

" ... Hicks has since been stranded on the island state without a way home." (Market daily news. October 17, 2012. HERE and HERE) ... "

What did he do wrong? No one knows. He told reporters that a man had joined his preppers group under the guise of a disabled Navy SEAL.

" ... Hicks revealed to Infowars that a supposed disabled veteran claiming to be a Navy Seal had joined his prepper group earlier in the year, but Hicks felt the man's story seemed suspicious. Through a Freedom of Information Act request, Hicks learned the man had never been in the military even though he possessed an authentic military ID. Sometime later while out driving, Hicks saw the man's car and ended up tailing him to a Mississippi Department of Homeland Security branch office where the man parked his car. (Market daily news. October 17, 2012. HERE and HERE) ... "
