U.S. to Increase Cybercensorship.

October 3, 2012 at 3:00 P.M. Interruptions in my t.v. signal continue. I expect further obstructions of my communication efforts at any time. Attempts by prosecutors and/or OAE officials to cover-up and suppress "errors" in legal matters have become common. (See the sources quoted below.)

Curiously, the water in my building was shut off without notice today. No doubt this was for emergency repairs and only a coincidence.

Benjamin Weiser, "Judge Calls 2004 Protest Arrests Illegal," in The New York Times, October 2, 2012, at p. A26. (Freedom of speech is daily war in today's America.)

Natasha Singer, "U.S. Is Targeting Web Privacy Rule to Shield Young," in The New York Times, September 28, 2012, at p. A1. ("'The Whole World is Watching,' Mr. Obama.")

President Obama's UN speech nothwithstanding, new measures aimed at controlling on-line speech are in the works.

Naturally, corporations' free speech rights will be protected. Poor human beings, on the other hand, who are tortured and raped without being charged or convicted of a crime, do not concern our Supreme Court. Five of the justices will probably be untroubled by the censorship described in these essays and plog posts that must be aimed at silencing me.

Civil libertarians and free speech advocates are concerned about possible misuse of technology and legislation aimed (ostensibly) at protecting children from Internet "data miners," but actually designed to allow for greater government control and monitoring of electronic communications that are already subject to intense supervision.

I have little doubt that Mr. Romney's election would lead to an effort to destroy my political essays and those of many others holding radical views, probably with the blessings of Chief Justice Roberts.

President Obama's speech before the UN seemed to suggest that freedom of speech was -- or should be -- available to everyone with a cellphone in an age of hypercommunications. China, for instance, is skeptical about this claim in light of our own failures to ensure free speech for persons, like me. In China, I am told, claims to have written an article opposing the government are often designed to get a US visa. The New York Times will worry about Ai Wei Wei in China, not about me and many others like me struggling to be heard right here in New York.

On prior occasions the president's speeches calling for tolerance of dissent on-line have been followed by increasingly repressive measures at home and throughout global electronic communications networks. It is evident that there are forces within the U.S. government that wish to make Mr. Obama appear mendacious to a world audience that marvels at the tensions within the American power-structure.

"Who is in charge in America?" people wonder. There are politicians on the far Right-wing in the Republican party who define the national interest to coincide with their party's political objectives. These people could not care less about undermining the Chief Executive.

I have seen partisan politics in my life, but never anything like this animosity between the major parties. The hostility to Mr. Obama may surpass the hatred directed at the Clintons. Why is Mr. Obama so hated? Race?

"The move comes at a time when major corporations, app developers and data miners appear to be collecting information about the on-line activities of millions of young Internet users" -- also middle-aged Internet users -- "without their parents' awareness, childrens' advocates say."

Adults should worry even more about sanctioned use of spyware by corporations and government agencies, acting secretly and (sometimes) cooperatively, to obtain "data" on "controversial figures." These methods have been used to check on opinions being expressed by persons (like me), books being read, films being seen, networks being formed -- all in violation of well-established First and Fourth Amendment principles.

Organized cybercrime campaigns run by political operatives of various kinds targeting individuals disfavored by politicians are bound to follow. ("How censorship works in America" and "Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey" then "Torture" and "More in Sadness Than in Anger.")

Government efforts to control who collects data fail to consider the dangers associated with state accumulation of such data about "suspect individuals" under the guise of protecting children. No one can oppose censorship when it is presented as "child protection" even if protecting children has nothing to do with the real purposes of the law or technology being devised to further control our on-line activities.

I can never know whether I will be able to continue writing on-line. If more than two days pass without alterations of these writings it means that I am prevented from writing against my will. No images can be posted at these blogs. I am often prevented from editing my texts, also my writings are plagiarized, censored or suppressed. No response to my requests for information have been received from New Jersey. My profile page and dashboard have been altered against my will. For some reason, my t.v. signal is interfered with on a regular basis. Luckily, I do not have a cellphone. Otherwise, I am sure that my calls would be blocked or recorded.
