Bandwidth, Etc.
When you do a google search for "fitna download," my insignificant corner of the blogosphere comes up pretty high, right below Gates of Vienna. Very few bloggers have actually saved it on their site so others can download it, and most have the actual movie linked through Google Video, which will probably disappear soon. Where's the blogosphere on this one, or am I just misunderstanding things? More people need to use their bandwidth towards hosting their own copy, because Google's version will probably be taken down soon, knowing them. Too many people are drinking my bandwidth milkshake, and I don't consider myself obligated to be one of only stable viewing sites on the entire internet. I don't have gigabits/s of bandwidth here, which is probably why my version of "Fitna" can be seen only sporadically below. Anyways, the rest of you bloggers better put yours to work, because mine is a relative garden hose.

I was going to donate to Geert Wilders but I'll donate to you instead if this becomes a problem.
In a Google search I just did you are now coming up ahead of Gates of Vienna. You are second and third behind a blog called The Pirate Bay.
Aengus,
Thanks a lot. I think I'll weather the initial interest alright. I think Wilder's deserves your money far more than me. I'm only forking out $5 a month right now.
I'll donate to Wilders so. He's being sued by one of the Danish cartoonists, which I think is very sad because its not some mad EU attempt to rob him of livelihood but a "copyright violation" on behalf of someone who should be more sympathetic to him. I doubt he can afford it.
In the greater sense this is a perfect example of the death of free speach. Not just in the United States but globaly.
If it where not for 'garden hoses' leaking information, most of us would be totally in the dark to the truth of global politics, and the truth of many other things.
People are afraid. Many 'garden hose' web pages are afraid of the thought police, just as major web sources like Google. The difference is that Google has caved, capitualted to political correctness, which really is the nature of the world.
But not everyone is afraid. Fearful, maybe, but not afraid to make sure the truth remains accessible to the masses.
The tables have turned. The secular left has become what it most fears, it is now the establishment. And the conservative right is now the underdog fighting the establishment.
The irony is that whether the secular left world is the underdog or the establishment, they will always be on the wrong side of God. While Christians remain on the right side of God.
i'm not sure if people are afraid or they just think somebody else will do it for them. Either way, we stand together or hang separately. If these savages freak out when we make a video that their own mujahideen could have made, imagine what they'll do when they have real power.
It is pretty clear what they will do, no imagining about it.
