French Internet Butcher must be Stopped

Total Control is the goal. But they'll never say that: "European Union lawmakers are investigating a proposed tax on e-mails and mobile phone text messages as a way to fund the 25-member bloc in the future." According to an EU insider/whistleblower the EU crooks steal billions.

FRENCH INTERNET BUTCHER MUST BE STOPPED

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - May 29th 2006 - The European Journalism Center, in it's MediaNews today, gives the name of the French Internet butcher and his ilk which must be stopped. Alain Lamassoure, is described as ''a prominent French MEP and member of the centre-right European People's Party'' meaning he's one more Web butcher who has forgotten what Free speech and Opinion is and who wants to tax and curb it.

The so called leadership of the European Union is in the hands of the by the London Group named Peter Mandelson. He was NOT elected by the European Union population. Mandelson is the man behind 'new laws'- like the lower wages law by French PM de Villepin, which recently made millions of French - who refuse to be 'Kleenex-workers, thrown away when not needed anymore - climb the barricades.

And they stopped the usurers, which wanted 14 year olds - who would be called 'apprentices' - to work for free, and make it law to have 15 year olds on heavy night shifts. Firing everybody at will, much like they have done in many other countries, like the US. Back to the 1800's! But the French fought them, giving a shining example of what must be done to stop the malicious influence of the Group's management of the European Union too.

EU to tax e-mail, text messages?

European Union lawmakers are investigating a proposed tax on e-mails and mobile phone text messages as a way to fund the 25-member bloc in the future. A European Parliament working group is reviewing the idea, tabled by Alain Lamassoure, a prominent French MEP and member of the centre-right European People's Party, the assembly's largest group.

Lamassoure, a member of Jacques Chirac's UMP party, is proposing to add a tax of about 1.5 cents on text or SMS messages and a 0.00001 cent levy on every e-mail sent. 'This is peanuts, but given the billions of transactions every day, this could still raise an immense income,' he said.

Currently the EU budget is funded through a combination of import duties, value added tax revenues and direct contributions from member states - the so-called 'Gross National Income resource,' which is calculated according to wealth. However, following a yearlong battle over the current seven-year budget, agreed on last December, it was decided that the way in which the EU is funded should be changed, with new proposals expected by 2008/2009.

Can we expect Amnesty to have a look at censorship in the West too? Because the same group which runs the wars, their holocaust of terror, also owns the Web and most media. Amnesty could check how for instance big search machines 'strip the web' of many NON-mainstream propaganda information sources. That's repression too. Like Google and Yahoo do. - [http://tinyurl.com/oukza]

Amnesty International seeks to end Net repression

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL MARKED ITS 45TH ANNIVERSARY ON SUNDAY BY LAUNCHING A GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TO STAMP OUT STATE CENSORSHIP OF THE INTERNET.

Announcing a new http://Irrepressible.info/ website to challenge internet censorship, the human rights pressure group called on web users to sign a pledge calling on governments to stop censoring sites and urging technology corporations not to collude with them.

Arguing that online censorship is a new threat to freedom, Amnesty claimed to have uncovered internet repression in areas around the world from China and Tunisia to Vietnam, Iran, Israel and the Maldives. Calling for the release of 'cyber dissidents' jailed for expressing their political views online, Amnesty said internet cafes are being shut down, computers seized, chat rooms monitored and blogs deleted.

Adapting 'People Power' to the electronic age as a tool for pressurising international opinion, Amnesty urged web users to sign an online pledge which will be presented to a UN meeting on the future of the internet in November.''
