Hidden in the depths of government is a new law. An international treaty which is designed to take away your rights to fair use and privacy on a massive scale.
The only people who know anything about the contents are the lobbyists for the large cartels and the paid off lackey politicians who are supposed to be working for us, the citizens.

Read it and weep.. then get angry.. then go and vote.

Be aware.. the media fog and mis-direction operates on the internet as well as in the mainstream media.

What is really bad is the way it is being done totally behind closed doors.. and who it is for. It isn't for us, it is for a few big businesses which can't (or won't) change their business models.
I came across it mostly by chance otherwise we would not have heard of it until the thought police (funded with our taxes I might add) came kicking down our doors..

Read it all.. this is all the information collected about a secret big business/governments deal which will impact every single person on the planet.. in ways we can only have nightmares about.. AND we will be the ones paying for our own oppression on behalf of the huge profits for the few... say goodbye to invention and innovation.. this law is a return to the days when the church said what could and could not be done or believed.. A new "dark age"

"One hundred groups of concerned citizens have united to demand a look at the secret ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) treaty and have drafted a letter to their representatives asking for information. We've discussed ACTA before, including what are believed to be parts of ACTA that lawmakers are trying to get a head start on."
