COICA.... I have no words...

In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced last week, and there will be a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.

If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media companies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed form the internet and not just in the US.

interesting, a usa law applicable to the internet on a global scale, as if it is usa owned, doesn't sound too convincing or lawful

nevertheless, such plans are indeed globally spread, having the silent blessing of most governments (including their major parliamentary opposition) and all entertainment mega-companies, representing a steady move towards an orwellian/totalitarian new world order (nwo being repeatedly openly admitted/celebrated by political leaders all over the world)
