A decision on the Australian Government's internet censorship filter could be just weeks away. It's crunch time.
Live trials are nearly complete on the filter technology which will allow the government of the day to add any 'unwanted' site to a secret blacklist. This isn't China, Saudi Arabia or Iran - we could see a mandatory filter of all internet traffic right here in Australia as early as this year.
Recently it has been revealed that the Government's secret blacklist includes everything from euthanasia and abortion sites to local dentists and tuckshops. It's easy to see how this filter would be open to abuse. We all want our children to be safe online, but the proposed internet filter will miss the vast majority of unwanted content while limiting our online freedoms and holding back the digital economy.
The Government could yet put the internet filter where it belongs: in the bin. But that will only happen if politicians feel the heat in their home electorates.

If you are in Australia, click here to join the Getup campaign. In just a few clicks and a minute or so you can use their online software to automatically send your local MP a fax, or request a meeting.
Picture the scene in your local politician's electorate office. The fax machine is running out of paper - it has a pile of messages every morning. Staffers have received dozens of meeting requests and the telephone message-bank is full. Voters have made it clear: draconian and unaccountable internet censorship is unacceptable in Australia. Act today before it is too late!

Defend Your Freedom with Peaceful Non-Compliance
There has been a landslide of awareness of what's going on in the world today. More and more people are connecting the dots. Those people who have woken up to the myriad changes that are afoot to destroy our health and our freedom, restrict free speech on the internet, and bring in a New World Order have really got to turn their creativity now to "what are we going to do?" There is nothing more important! If we don't sort this out now, everything we've taken for granted ends.
The changes are quickening. Share the information, learn more about it by all means, but also do not neglect the need to refuse to cooperate with our mass enslavement. We are the many and those behind the implementation and control of our world are the few. It is time to stand up and resist through peaceful non-compliance. If every person changed the basis of their decisions and actions from "what's right for me?" to "what is right?", we stand up for the injustice against others, even if we are not immediately affected by it. If one person loses their freedom of speech, then we all need to stand with them.

How Bad Do Things Have to Get Before YOU Complain?
Since 9/11 there has been a steady erosion in our civil liberty, all in the name of protecting us from terrorism. Unfortunately history shows that tyranny follows a similar pattern of creeping totalitarianism.
Michael Badnarik warns not to wait until you are being shoved into a gas chamber to stand up for your rights, because by then it is too late. How bad do things have to get before you complain?
