Summary: Bribed and blackmailed media isn’t covering EPOnia‘s corruption anymore; somebody should, but that’s not as easy as it may seem on the surface (not even for a distant outsider)


THE direction the Web has taken, combined with social control media (at the expense of actual news sites and RSS feeds), is disconcerting. It’s good for censors. They get more control over what people can and cannot see, owing largely to centralisation and information conglomerates (media consolidation online). How many people heard anything about Wikileaks publications since the arrest of Julian Assange?

“They’re acting like gangsters and they do not tolerate criticism from anybody.”As noted and shown in the video above, the latest publication from Wikileaks (“The Intolerance Network”) has receive virtually no media coverage although it contained 17,000 documents. As we recently noted, both Google (YouTube) and Twitter certainly suppress particular voices/viewpoints and we only see this getting worse over time, as money buys messaging.

The video focuses on our EPO publications; both Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos are blocking this Web site. France is notorious for its policy of overzealous net censorship and these two Frenchmae are consistent with the stance of Battistelli’s handler, Sarkozy, who is now sentenced to prison along with Battistelli's bodyboard. They’ve used intimidation tactics against mere blogs, not only us. They’re acting like gangsters and they do not tolerate criticism from anybody. Those who dare dissent a little quickly self-censor.

As the lighting conditions serve to indicate, this was recorded around midday, but due to the length this monologue about SLAPP takes a long time to process. It’s all automated, but it takes a lot of processing power. It’s so long that can take about 3-5 hours to re-encode and upload (even if parallelised), but I had a lot to say and it needs to be on the public record (the last 15 minutes in particular; those are more personal anecdotes). █


“Sarkozy and his family have been vacationing at a lakefront estate in Wolfeboro owned by former Microsoft Corp. executive Michael Appe.”
