Protect Net Neutrality

With just a few corporations owning all major media outlets, objective information is impossible. This is the true beauty of the Internet and "the establishment" has been losing control because of this free flow of information. Visit the emerging independent news agencies on the Internet for your information.


We must protect the Internet at all times!

(But don't trust Google not to censor just because of their Net Neutrality message here, remember they're also big business.)

CCTV in the sky: police plan to use military-style spy drones

Arms manufacturer BAE Systems developing national strategy with consortium of government agencies.

Police in the UK are planning to use unmanned spy drones, controversially deployed in Afghanistan, for the "routine" monitoring of antisocial motorists, protesters, agricultural thieves and fly-tippers, in a significant expansion of covert state surveillance.

The arms manufacturer BAE Systems, which produces a range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for war zones, is adapting the military-style planes for a consortium of government agencies led by Kent police.

Documents from the South Coast Partnership, a Home Office-backed project in which Kent police and others are developing a national drone plan with BAE, have been obtained by the Guardian under the Freedom of Information Act.
