In America, people can be fired for no good reason. Unless the person fired can prove discrimination of some sort, the employer doesn't have to give an explanation unless they say it was for misconduct. If not, then the person is eligible for unemployment insurance. There's also the fear of being stalked in real life. While these two concerns may be overblown, they are what they are. I do agree that anonymity is overrated. I don't agree that it hurts one's credibility. The truth is the truth regardless who the messenger is.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566268769860937739.post-91922674248123960912009-12-18T18:06:05.744-08:002009-12-18T18:06:05.744-08:00By following IP addresses and computer motherboard...By following IP addresses and computer motherboard ID numbers, the Government know exactly who is writing everything that is published on the Internet. The vast majority of people haven't the time and energy to try to completely hide their identities.<br /><br />So, we're not hiding our identities from the Government. We're hiding our identities from each other, and I think that undercuts the responsibility and accountability for which the online and offline press ought to be known.<br /><br />I've never understood the whiteosphere's obsession with anonymity, except as an indication that they have a lot to hide, even from their readers. <br /><br />Civil Rights workers and volunteers didn't try (and could not, in any case) hide their identities. Anti-war protesters were and are filmed and identified by Government employees at protests. Is the whiteosphere so afraid of repercussions that they can't be as courageous as Blacks and real anti-war activists always have been.<br /><br />Either it's cowardice or a very determined effort to avoid accountability and to obscure private dealings that would undercut and discredit their online anonymous writings and politicking.Francis Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862777385923656061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566268769860937739.post-62360414899922846032009-12-17T10:14:30.378-08:002009-12-17T10:14:30.378-08:00Oops, I realise you did cover it, even giving me a...Oops, I realise you did cover it, even giving me a hat tip. I should have said maybe you should keep an eye on it. It keeps growing and growing and is our best provable example that the internet is being manipulated by the spy industry.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566268769860937739.post-64223093036329260542009-12-17T10:12:13.184-08:002009-12-17T10:12:13.184-08:00Francis, you should check out the Hal Turner story...Francis, you should check out the Hal Turner story. He's been spreading racist junk for years and was close with Sean Hannity. It turns out he was an FBI informant on the internet. I have given up on the internet except for smaller pockets of awareness. There is a website called What Really Happened. The site owner named Michael Rivero has been listed as having the same contact address of a company named PMC4, LLC. From the wayback machine, one can see that company offered services for groups interested in primarily making money off the internet. No way could Hal Turner be the only internet fake. DaveFromQueens was actually right on this bullshite. He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that DKos has been rigged and in the business of collecting data on its members. People like us have become vindicated. Even Max Blumenthal of The Nation has reported on the Hal Turner as cointelpro angle. One last thought, Francis, and it is in regards to your feelings about CIA infiltration of the blogosphere. It is apparent that the internet is seen as a wild, wils west for the most part by authorities. Perhaps because of that, the CIA is involved with American websites, even though there are laws against them performing psy-ops on American citizens. Plus, there really isn't an address when people are blogging. It's just about a lot of 0's and 1's. I know folks like yourself are against anonymity, but in a way, why should people reveal who they are on the net. It's bad enough that our views and research are being run through their supercomputers and parsed by their intelligence workers.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566268769860937739.post-88424666670450220352009-12-14T14:25:23.803-08:002009-12-14T14:25:23.803-08:00One of the inevitable effects of so much Governmen...One of the inevitable effects of so much Government participation in the Internet is that we never know with whom we are talking and what their agenda is.
