EU copyright law plan angers Radiohead, Pink Floyd They have accused the European Commission of breaking promises to tackle the problem of musicians’ missing pay. The Commission announced a draft law on Wednesday designed to make sure that the firms collecting music royalties on the behalf of artists also hand them over to the performers, composers and producers involved in making a piece of music. “We are deeply disappointed by your choice to defend the interests of a minority of managers and stakeholders,” said a letter signed by Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason, Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien, British singer Sandie Shaw, producer CJ Bolland and the director of Younison, an artists’ lobby, Kelvin Smits. By the Commission’s own assessment, collection societies — up to 250 of which operate in Europe — keep “substantial amounts of money” on their books, pending distribution. Artists say that figure is in fact much higher and that societies have no incentive to pay up quickly, because of the returns they can make on the money in their hands.
MACRON CIBLE PAR LA CIA? – networkpointzero Avertissement : Cette publication est longue. Ne ratez pas sa lecture car elle vous explique comment Macron a pu arriver, en une dizaine d’années, dans les plus hautes sphères de la République, comment sa stratégie politique d’alliance gauche-droite et son programme économique néolibéral ont été décidés ailleurs qu’en France. Cet article est le fruit de recherches et d’analyses. Il fait référence à des travaux universitaires dont vous trouverez les indications en bas de page . Il est quasiment impossible d’écrire aujourd’hui sur la CIA sans se faire traiter de complotiste. Propos liminaires Quand on parle d’ingérence russe dans la campagne électorale française et qu’elle vise particulièrement Emmanuel Macron, on peut faire le postulat (pour les grincheux, ce n’est qu’un postulat!) Assange veut il nous faire comprendre que Macron a été ciblé en 2012 par la CIA comme un candidat à promouvoir et à soutenir pour les élections présidentielles de 2017 ? Peut – être. Le contexte Bon. 2.
14 Incredibly Creepy Surveillance Technologies That Big Brother Will Soon Be Using To Spy On You The following are 14 incredibly creepy surveillance technologies that Big Brother will soon be using to watch you.... A company known as BRS Labs has developed "pre-crime" surveillance cameras that can supposedly determine if you are a terrorist or a criminal even before you commit a crime. Well, authorities are taking this technology quite seriously. In fact, dozens of these cameras are being installed at major transportation hubs in San Francisco.... The company says will put them in 12 stations with up to 22 cameras in each, bringing the total number to 288.The cameras will be able to track up to 150 people at a time in real time and will gradually build up a ‘memory’ of suspicious behaviour to work out what is suspicious. #2 Capturing Fingerprints From 20 Feet Away Can you imagine someone reading your fingerprints from 20 feet away without you ever knowing it? This kind of technology is actually already here according to POPSCI.... #3 Mobile Backscatter Vans #4 Hijacking Your Mind
Revelations from a former international financier: "I was training to become a psychopath, and I failed" -- Society's Child -- Sott.net © DVM-TVRonald Bernard, a former high-powered financier who reveals the hellish world and behavior of those involved in the business of Big Money. In this time of sudden disclosures and unexpected blatant truths, where 'news' is barely distinguishable from 'fake news', it takes the utmost courage for an 'insider' to come out with the truth based on real facts. Ronald Bernard, one of the founders of 'B of Joy', is one of these courageous people who dared to tell his story in front of (DVM-TV), De Vrije Media's camera. Eventually this ended in his personal complete breakdown. Irma Schiffers, co-founder De Vrije Media. 'I'm still here and that is more than many of my former colleagues can say', says ex-currency trader Ronald Bernard in this outspoken interview. Pascal Roussel, a fellow insider of the financial world, wrote in 'The Divine Trap', about experiences similar to the ones disclosed by Ronald Bernard in this interview.

Fighting Disclosure, Killing Democracy Our politics took a nightmarish turn this week. Senate Republicans twice blocked a vote to require corporations, unions and obscure organizations hovering in the shadows to tell us who's putting up the millions and millions of dollars for all the propaganda assaulting the public during this political year. The bill the Republicans killed was already a weak parody of its original intent. It wouldn't even go into effect until after the November auction when the buying and selling of the White House, Congress, state legislatures and courts will have been completed, and the dark money will have done its dirty work. By then a vast pall of secrecy will cover the tracks of the secret donors. Both our political parties are up to their necks in this corruption; it was Barack Obama, you'll recall, who tossed public funding under the bus four years ago, then hauled in huge sums of money from Wall Street fat cats he later promised to protect from public wrath over their ill-gotten gains. Why?
Why Google made the NSA – INSURGE intelligence – Medium Mass surveillance is about control. It’s promulgators may well claim, and even believe, that it is about control for the greater good, a control that is needed to keep a cap on disorder, to be fully vigilant to the next threat. But in a context of rampant political corruption, widening economic inequalities, and escalating resource stress due to climate change and energy volatility, mass surveillance can become a tool of power to merely perpetuate itself, at the public’s expense. A major function of mass surveillance that is often overlooked is that of knowing the adversary to such an extent that they can be manipulated into defeat. The problem is that the adversary is not just terrorists. It’s you and me. The war machine MIIS CySec is formally partnered with the Pentagon’s Highlands Forum through an MoU signed between the provost and Forum president Richard O’Neill, while the initiative itself is funded by George C. Knowledge is Power But isn’t it obvious, really? The ‘long war’
8 Technical Methods That Make the PROTECT IP Act Useless We’ve been running a series of guides that show just how easy it is to bi-pass general DNS censorship. It’s general DNS censorship that has been proposed in the PROTECT-IP Act among other things. Rather than simply debate philosophically on why the PROTECT-IP act will do absolutely nothing to deter copyright infringement, we decided to do one better and prove it instead. Hiding your IP address, using a proxy, using the onion router and obtaining an IP address to a website so you won’t have to rely on a public DNS server – these seem like a very intimidating tasks for the unprepared. To be honest, when I first chose to try and figure these out, it seemed intimidating even to me – especially given that I don’t really even make use of proxy servers (or do any of the above for that matter). So really, I felt that I could relate to a number of moderately informed users on these topics. At a technical level domain name servers would be ordered to blacklist the suspected websites. 1. Pros: 2.
How the CIA made Google – INSURGE intelligence – Medium In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, western governments are moving fast to legitimize expanded powers of mass surveillance and controls on the internet, all in the name of fighting terrorism. US and European politicians have called to protect NSA-style snooping, and to advance the capacity to intrude on internet privacy by outlawing encryption. One idea is to establish a telecoms partnership that would unilaterally delete content deemed to “fuel hatred and violence” in situations considered “appropriate.” Heated discussions are going on at government and parliamentary level to explore cracking down on lawyer-client confidentiality. What any of this would have done to prevent the Charlie Hebdo attacks remains a mystery, especially given that we already know the terrorists were on the radar of French intelligence for up to a decade. There is little new in this story. The shadow network The Highlands Forum The Pentagon’s intellectual capital venture firm The Club of Yoda
Dark Knight:Lucifer Rises 1) Many members here on ATS, theorise conspiracies in movies.Implying inside Hollywood knowledge.What I am going to expose here is something in plain sight.Something that has not been put forward by anyone else,it is right in front of you all, yet none of you see it. My background in relation to this thread,is my background as a decipher of occult language and symbology.I have been asked on many occassions to teach in Universities on this subject and theology and have on occassion advised religous leaders and politicians.Many of you may scoff and even find gramma error's here and call bunk.However I will say this,while English is my first and given language.It is poor,the reason for this is I see language differently to you.Kind of the way a dislexic would see words,although I do not have dislexia.I kind of see language and symbols the way a sevant see's music. So now let's take a look at Freemans character. Lucis Fox = Lucifer 666, this is no coincidence or accident.Why?
The Dangerous Deception Called The Trump Presidency The project called the Trump Presidency has just two months before its formal beginning. Yet already the hopes and fantasies of much of the world are making him into something and someone Donald Trump most definitely is not. Donald Trump is yet another project of the same boring old patriarchs who try again and again to create a one world order that they control absolutely, a New World Order that one close Trump backer once referred to as universal fascism. Ignore the sometimes fine rhetoric in some of his speeches. Talk is cheap. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, It’s Showtime!’ Often during this election campaign, which was more a Hollywood “D” grade movie than any honest debate of policies and ideas candidate Trump made statements that resonated with the “silent majority” of not only so-called blue collar workers, but also the disenfranchised middle class whose earnings have been declining in real terms since the 1970’s. Is Trump a Grassroots Revolution? The dramatis personae F.
New World Order Blueprint Leaked Politics / New World OrderJun 21, 2012 - 03:58 PM GMT By: Rudy_Avizius On June 12, a leaked copy of the investment chapter for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was made public. This copy was analyzed by Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch and has been verified as authentic. This agreement has been negotiated IN SECRET for 2-1/2 years and no information has ever been released until this leak. So why have the details of this negotiation been so secret? If implemented, this agreement will hard code corporate dominance over sovereign governments into international law that will supercede any federal, state, or local laws of any member country. This video is a must see for anyone who wishes to more fully understand the implications of this secretly negotiated agreement. The TPP is being negotiated by some of the same characters that brought us NAFTA, CAFTA and other so called free trade agreements. “These agreements are a little bit like Dracula.

The Daily Westerner News Network Politics as usual, especially the party version of Republicans and Democrats is the latest endangered species to hit the bone yards of extinction. Now, that does not mean that competing power factions have all merged into a collegial stew of some imaginable melting pot. No the literal power behind the government that embeds the deepest recess of manipulated reality still maintains and uses their influence and coercion force to remain in control. Well, assessing the appointees to his cabinet concludes that talented and accomplished achievers often have accumulated great wealth. In the era of Trump America First, how will divergent cliques and kindred insiders react, respond or cooperate with the new sheriff in town? Notwithstanding, budgets do not translate directly into political influence or clout. With the long ongoing hubbub at the Central Intelligence Agency, what better example of the deep state is there to examine the conflict within?
6 Government Surveillance Programs Designed to Watch What You Do Online | Civil Liberties President Eisenhower was right on point about the military-industrial complex, but he could not have predicted the emergence of the massive surveillance state -- combining the government and private sector -- that bolsters it. Sadly, neither President Obama nor his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, has the desire or moral courage to fight the growing power and influence of the Corporate Security State. We are witnessing the integration of spying on two levels, the government level (federal, state and local) and the corporate level (via telecom providers, web services and credit card companies). If you are a user of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Craigslist or another popular site, the U.S. security state is watching you. Here is a brief summary of some of the other programs. 1. It reports that monitored data from such sites can provide location information and "prove and disprove alibis." 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. These terms are organized into nine categories:
The Deep State, Trump, and JFK - Americans for a Free Republic Donald Trump is a revolutionary, and government establishments loathe revolutionaries. This has been so since human societies began. Those who threaten any society’s prevailing power blocs with a diminishment of their prestige and influence are always targeted by those power blocs as an enemy to be undercut, smeared, and even exterminated if necessary. This is a law of politics that is as assured as the flow of tides and the paths of the planets. What is the Deep State? This Deep State is what Ron Paul calls the “shadow government.” Why Trump Is Feared by the Deep State A world-bending revolution is upon us. Trump’s Four Pillars of Reform are what threaten the Deep State so powerfully. 1) Immigration Policy. 2) Trade Policy. 3) Tax and Regulatory Reform. 4) Foreign Policy Reform. The Major Ideological Divisions Confronting Us There are three major ideological divisions today that we can use to explain the battle going on between the Deep State elites and the American people.
