Both individual proposals to roll out free nationwide wi-fi Internet access across the United States contain language indicating that political websites deemed “offensive” will be filtered out and blocked.

| Two competing parties, M2Z Networks and the FCC, are jockeying for the rights to roll out the network, but both have already stated their intent to install filters that block out pornography and anything else deemed “harmful”. | |
The implementation of a universal wi-fi network covering the entire country is moving closer following the approval of House Representatives Anna Eshoo and Edward Markey after it was discovered the network would not interfere with incumbent wireless telcos such as AT&T and Verizon, who had raised concerns over potential signal interference.
Two competing parties, M2Z Networks and the FCC, are jockeying for the rights to roll out the network, but both have already stated their intent to install filters that block out pornography and anything else deemed “harmful”.
According to a Daily Tech report, “Both proposals stipulate that any free wireless offerings have mandatory content filters, preventing users from viewing any material that “would be harmful to teens and adolescents,” including pornography and anything “contemporary community standards” deem as obscene. Free-speech advocates call this condition unconstitutional.”
As we have previously reported, similar free wi-fi networks on smaller scales include mandatory content filters that screen out even mildly political websites that are not part of the corporate establishment media.
London’s St. Pancras International free wi-fi network blocks a barrage of alternative political websites, as we found out earlier this year when our own sites were inaccessible on the network.
“If you follow the logic of the rule, the network would have to block the news because a great deal of it discusses disturbing events or depicts these events through photographs and video clips,” reports ABC News, adding that blogs, social networks and any other user generated content would be excluded entirely from the network.
“If the FCC insists on tying the creation of a free nationwide broadband wireless network to government mandated censorship, the constitutionality of the plan will surely be challenged in court and will be struck down,” states the report.
However, if the rollout of a nationwide network is privatized then what is to stop the company from installing filters that censor political websites? This is already the case in major transport hubs across the west as free speech and anything that goes against the establishment grain is classified as “hateful” and is banned.

I sure hope it gets struck down, but there’s one BIG problem:
(1) It’s free, so nothing can compete with it price-wise
(2) Most people use the ‘net for Facebook/Email/IM etc. Only a tiny minority will oppose the blocking of prisonplanet.com, for example. So, due to the law of democracy, I expect over 50% to say yes.
It’s sad and I hope it gets shot down.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:14 am
You’ve got to hand it to them, they’re bloody clever.
You can have free internet, providing we control what sites you visit. In other words, not sites like this one.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:26 am
As angry as this makes me, since it’s literally the NWO scum looking right at US and saying, “See, we’ve got at least one ace in the hole that we can pull on you and make you disappear,”…..This is still increibly empowering to know…this means they are NOT ignoring the threat, but fully recognizing it, and know they need to stop the truth in its tracks. Free Public WiFI? What better way to try and wipe Infowars off the map.
They can hurt well indexed sites, sure. But they can’t make the information go away. In fact, having a concentrated site to post info is probably BAD because it keeps ALL of us from posting on the mainstream sites, where this info NEEDS to be.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:32 am
They’ll block pornography, but I wouldn’t doubt they allow violence to be discussed, shown and glorified. We live in such a sick, backwards world… Killing is ok, but you best not show a boob or certain other parts of your own body. Bizarre. Help control the human population, have yourselves spayed and neutered!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:32 am
They need to “protect” children from “political” websites?
Yeah because how many ten year olds do you know like to spend their time reading about Dick Chanies connections to Haliburton. Yeah it’s for the “children” right…
October 15th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Even if many resist, choosing to keep their freedom, eventually this will force “paid” internet
users into higher prices, due to ISPs loss of probably at least 50% of their customers to
the free service.
This is a definite threat which we should prepare for NOW, rather than later.
Maybe there’s a way to ~share~ expenses, sort of like a party line? Any suggestions?
October 15th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Turn OFF your wi-fi and Bluetooth devices………
October 15th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Well.. damn #1, 3, and 4 i agree . I bet the first site they will block is most likley be This one and any sites linked to it.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:55 am
I hope you guys know this is way in the future, I’m talking about 2015 or so. Also the filter thing likely won’t fly. Either that, or verified adults will have filter free access. Seriously, stop freaking out about this. It’s not the dreaded INTERNET 2, it’s only free access.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:57 am
screw em. i’ll gladly PAY for my internet – and access what I WANT – not what some gasbag in Washington THINKS i should be looking at.
pfffffffffffffft…
October 15th, 2008 at 11:00 am
What is the value of this article? The Internet is supposed to be switching to a limited paid service by 2012 according to what Alex has confirmed. Why set up free wi fi for only a few years? Who makes the quick profit for a few years? The focus is to keep the Internet going as it is now. Are we not supposed to be keeping it in this format of non censored? Most of us are preparing for Internet 2 by 2012 by selling our computer equipment after we burn and distribute Alex and others videos. Is that not the plan? So why is a free wifi rollout any concern even if it was not censored?
October 15th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Here is a great link for anyone wanting to know who is controlling what in the world:

So the only use for this new “free” service will be to relay spam for the israelis (who are behind every spam operation).
October 15th, 2008 at 11:24 am
It’s like the stupidity of speed bumps in neighbourhoods to ‘protect the children playing in the roadways’ because parents are too f###$ng lazy to parent their brats. Why are they not parenting their brats surfing as well?
Parents, take some responsibility for these people you’re dragging into the world and parent – stop expecting others to do it for you. This is what leads to this insane censorship and ‘protection’ from ourselves!
October 15th, 2008 at 11:27 am
There’s an answer to this.
Let some Truth-minded venture capitalists create and alternative network that guarantees no censorship.
Hell, I’d pay a bit extra to avoid some spook deciding what’s good for me or my family.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:28 am
God. My husband and I are already finding it nearly impossible to avoid getting microwaved by WiFi and cell phones. My body is very sensitive to the WiFi frequencies and I don’t like the pains I get in my muscles and chest from it. Blahhhhhhhhh! >:(
October 15th, 2008 at 11:48 am
wat’s all this 007 music on the internet stream? it’s cutting in constantly for me now!
October 15th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
I’ve been having problems with the stream, 007 theme, speeding up of the audio and it seems to start over and loop as well. Sorry, I had to change the channel (for now).
October 15th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I keep getting the same looping, cutting, and 007 theme.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I’m shocked at the relative objectivity of this article compared to most of the scare tactic writing on this site. It’s harder to read between the lines here than it is on CNN or the AP. At least they aim for objectivity.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Censorship=Fascism
October 15th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Maybe this is scaremongering maybe not. if it’s not–In the words of Johnny Paycheck–”You can take your Wi-fi and shove it!”
October 15th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
It sounds like The Church Lady is going to be in charge of censorship. Free internet with severe restrictions = no real internet at all. Computers should be filtered through free software offers to people, however, they want to censor for any reason, so this gives the “providers” an excuse. Ass backwards thinking. The entire Iraq and Afghanistan War is totally pornographic, but of course the graphic coverage of that carnage will not be censored. OMG, a breast, now that “wardrobe malfunction” is unacceptable!
I suggest they go back to the drawing boards before wasting so much money over a BS system.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Actually….
If everybody started saving those old wireless routers and maintained internal networks wherever possible (but a firewall in), but shared the gateways across other networks, it would be possible to replace the internet with something truly free, totally decentralized, and completely out of control of any organization, corporate or government.
This could be the alternative network but instead of trying to be the enterprenuer and playing in the beasts system, let the technology, which is entierely off the shelf now, spread.
Currently with a good antenna you can find wireless networks all over any part of a city. All you need to do is reprogram the routers – a simple task for any admin – to allow bridging. So instead of having a cable modem or DSL router to get into a particular network like Comcast or Verizon or Roadrunner, use a wireless connection and every network has a gateway to existing DNS service. If the leviathan wants to turn the internet into a glorified cable service it will not matter at that point, because the public free networks operating independantly could get content from them but nobody is attached to them, and their filters.
The drawback is that access across regions and continents might be difficult – but encryption and obfuscation methods to thwart the leviathans filters make it possible to use their infrastructure to get through (make the virally spreading video about government abuses looke like something else, like a teamspeak session).
I think this is possible, but am not a web wizard and only have a slight grasp in the implications. Hello cypherpunks?
October 15th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I keep hearing the 007 theme being played too,any one know how to listen on another stream.I tried windows media,this keeps getting choppy,downloaded real player no good there either.Hope they get this fixed soon.
October 15th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Where are the brains to build a non-censored Internet for “us”?
October 15th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Re- Doktor Jeep
I run a software – hardware company.. im going to run this past my techcs in the moring..
im sure we could easily get this sort of idea rolling.. they are already gunning to close the net down.. im even planning to run the company into the ground and sell all the assets in 1- 1.5 years. im buying food crossbows tents.. 4 wheel drive vehicles.. got to take this seriously
however the idea of maybe writing software that will citual torrent selected sites and keep them in the cloud.. using local wireless technology.. must be possible to a degree.. no centralized server.. blah blah.. site like info wars need to be around.. things are going to get so bad arround the corner we need to keep sites like these up as long as possible
i will repost here tomorrow after i have spoken to the techies
October 15th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
I wonder how much money Microsoft and other proprietary software vendors will pay the government to censor free software sites, including Ubuntu and the Free Software Foundation. After all, the Microsoft shills routinely smear free software and Linux as communism and terrorism against the economy. Use GIMP instead of Adobe Photoshop? You’re a communist and a terrorist. Use Ubuntu? You’re a communist and a terrorist. Use Firefox? You’re a communist and a terrorist.
I’m pretty sure one of the conditions of using the nationwide wifi services will be you will have to use an operating system which can be spied on by the NSA. So the only OSes which will be allowed to access nationwide wifi service will be Windows (XP and above or Vista and above), Mac OS X, and SELinux-enabled Linux distros (until Linux is banned, of course).
Of course cloud computing is being used to end conventional software and to force people to use “software as a service” web software which will at first be free but eventually require a monthly subscription fee. Even Google Apps will require a subscription fee,
October 15th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
oh noooo, some sheeple are awake and telling how baaad this mess is. You bet that they need to control the net as they do the media. Oh my goodness, no sites on Faith, the north american union, haarp, cern, weatherwars, fema camps usa, halliburton, operation red sky, lyme disease, sars or attenuated bird flu vaccines; goodbye to planet nibiru, caldonia, the book of Enoch, hubble telescopes mars structures, operation paperclip, echelon, pnac and population reduction and on it goes. Bye bye to great sites like whatdoesitmean.com, uaff.us, stevequayle.com, stan deyo.com and ronald weinland. Message to elite/illuminati/fallen angels/biters etc. Pentecost, my boss will be spending some time with you…armageddon 2012. Lovingly, your worst nightmare, an awake, enlightened member of the remnant. Your chemtrails, lyme, mycoplasma and morgellons merely slowed me down. your ugly secret is out………………
October 15th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
My opinion is that if something offends you, ignore it.
Porn -don’t look at it, don’t visit those websites if it bothers you
Politics -don’t look at it, don’t visit those websites if it bothers you
Gore -DON’T LOOK AT IT IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT!
Do not censor others for what bothers you. I can look at a person with half of their face crushed and not be utterly disgusted, i can listen to a politician i don’t like speak, and i can certainly watch pornographic, even strange fetishes. So, if i can deal with it, why shouldn’t i be able too?
October 15th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
I just listened to alex-VS- peter joseph– now i love alex but peter sounded reasonable and alex sounded like that douchebag hannity. you could hear him frothing just waiting to jump on this guy with inane, off topic , comments. I didn’t like the 2nd zeitgeist as much as the first one. ALEX CHILL THE f--- OUT AND LISTEN A LITTLE.

The government and media are keeping this info from the public…
maybe because free wireless internet is their gift to the consumer; their trojan horse to shut down internet freedom

More likely only the politically incorrect content providers will be blocked.The ones in line with the ruling cabal will continue their mind pollution of the masses.
On a technical note, an encrypted connection via an anonimizing proxy should be able to bypass
the filters.
October 15th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
Why does Alex support NWO slaughterhouses.
October 15th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
I agree –TOTALLY- with rounderus about Alex’s show today.
Alex, this kid “Peter Joseph” played you like a cheap fiddle! Instead of screaming and railing at this kid’s drivel (and I DO mean drivel, e.g. B.S.), you should’ve laughed and laughed at him until he was RED-FACED with embarrassment. Good God in heaven, don’t you know Co-Intel-Pro when you hear it? I can hear this kid replaying today’s A.J. show with his goony friends (sound of cold brewskis cracking open): “Haw haw, replay minute 5! Listen to this! Haw Haw Haw! Alex LOSES it here! Hey Johnny, come on in, grab a chair and a cold one, and listen to this!!! (Sound of hysterical laughter). Boy, you played him like a calliope; good job, ‘Peter’! Ha, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA…!!!” Alex Jones, if it’s that easy to push your buttons, you need to take a LOOOOONG vacation. I’m beginning to think that you are CUCKOOFORCOCOAPUFFS-CUCKOOFORCOCOAPUFFS-CUCKOOFORCOCOAPUFFS-CUCKOOFORCOCOAPUFFS!!!!!!
Chill the FRIG out and start becoming the steely-eyed, cool-as-a-cucumber missile man we know that you could be…
You are becoming a LAUGHING stock…
October 15th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
I meant Godbluff…
October 15th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I have to agree with what godbluff (31) said. Alex should really listen a little more to other peoples views on this. Peter had some very good arguments, and Alex went over it like a bulldozer. Discussions are great, but that was a bit too much.
That said I do appreciate Alex his work.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Ok, I just listened a little more, and I agree even more with Peter. The whole discussion was destroyed. For gods sake, stop with the anger and the ridicule. Discussions are meant to be 2 way, and not interrupted every 2 seconds.
Again, I really appreciate our work Alex. You are waking people up, but for gods sake relax.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
I could kick either alex or other guys ass in a debate.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
i was wondering when and how they where going to do something to censor the web. you give it away free nationwide (via wifi). then of course censor anything and everything that has to do with an alternative press. that way you can say look at how we want to give you freedom to think and discover. while it is being done for the opposite reason. plus any “real news” sites intent on making money and making a difference are not going to get the ratings for it! now with the overpricing of high speed Internet are you going to pay just so you can read the real news? is it worth over 50 bucks a month (what I pay for Internet only) even if you can afford it?

October 15th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I agree with godbluff … I was listening with a friend and we both said the same thing … sounds like a leftist Bill O.
I hate to admit it, but the commercials are getting on my nerves too … Good cause or not, it sounds like more fear based product pushing in a different wrapper.
I like Alex, support what he says he’s trying to do and know it costs money and all that so I can put up with it, but how bout considering what Howard Stern does and clump them all together at the end of the hour instead of torturing all of us every 6 minutes.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
This will be the mark of the beast. My ebook [his] Number Rising will soon be complete explaining this.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
after reading some of the more recent postings, I am glad i am not the only one who felt that way. I think that what alex was doing was just the wrong way to approach his part of the debate. Peter was 100% right in hoping for humans to get away from the monetary system of rewards;unfortunately he is about 200 years or more ahead of his time. Perhaps someday we could achieve the ideal society–but there’s gonna be a lot of growing pains, both physically and intellectually till then. Like alex always says he’s not perfect, and today he didn’t have his A game, but I’m sure he’ll be knocking em out of the park tomorrow. peace from philly
October 15th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
I have not had a chance to listen to the whole discussion with Peter, but I can start by saying I was so excited to listen to them talk because of the power of both messages. I was disappointed that there was not more appreciation to openness to the ideas. There are so many small movements that could be rallied together to accomplish the goals that we need for freedom. Everyone is still treating each group as a sub group or a small business. This is more important than a self-preserving clique or business. This is the rest of our lives and we only get one shot at this, as we know it. The awakening is happening, but it needs to become more organized now. Alex is probably notable one of the most notorious people responsible for awakening through truth through knowledge. Peter does a great job of getting ideas across without showing the kind of emotion or bios that turn people off. These are both so similar ideas that it is not wise to sling mud at each other unless it will result in an answer or truth. We cannot forget that after we become aware of a problem we must take action on the solution. Just for the record from my own upbringing and soul searching I must state what I believe is the root solution. We must put human life and quality of mental awareness to truth as our foremost goal. Everything always stems from one or a couple principals or values. If we where to focus only on this principle and write all other laws around that there could be no room to destroy the earth because it is our life support. We could have no un natural or unnecessary human death because we are all one and we are stronger together. We could have no infringement on human rights to freedom of personal liberties and of liberties of property unless it was to preserve human life. The root problems are very obvious if we think of things like we where a young child again. It is easy to be very disturbed when we are young about why anyone would want to hurt another or why any one has to die. It is the education that we are given and experience in the current state of events that molds us to believe that these horrible disasters are ok or even necessary. If something is free it cannot be stolen. The goal must be to survive as a whole, not just a few select people. I really want to hear Alex and Peter discuss their beliefs in more depth. We can all learn from each other once we are willing to listen to truth. None of us are as strong as all of us. We all have a piece of the puzzle. We can all probably agree that it is not the materials or powers of this world that are evil, but the intentions of those who use them that are. It has always been a struggle between good vs. evil. The only solution is to get everyone aware enough of what we must all do to keep the checks and balances in place to never allow any one person or intention to have enough power to do evil unto others. Once we realize this in large enough numbers to exceed the tipping point we will have a shot of living out our dreams together for the good of the universe. No ideas should be ruled out until there are enough facts to disprove them. Please keep up the good work. We are on the right path. Let us not be scattered and against each other for this is part of the plan to scatter us and slow us down.
If I psted this in the wrong area I’m sorry. I jsut had to get these thoughts out.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Most grade-school kids know how to get around web censorship.

October 15th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
I was looking forward to todays interview as well. the two biggest infowarrors at the moment in my opinion, (sorry david icke but the lizard thing lets you down).
zeitgeist was the first wake up film i saw, and it was through ZG i found out about alex.
i now listen to the show almost every day and think that his radio station is one of the most important tools in awakening the people and helping us through this.
i would not be surprised if today was one of alexs biggest audiences. unfortunately i think alex shot himself in the foot today. it sounded more like what ive seen in the film “outfoxed”. im hoping that this hasnt torn the anti NWO populous in half. just because of a few minor disagreements.
i understand what both alex and peter means by evil. and i agree with both. peter is coming from a very psychological view, where as alex is coming from a traditional (religious) view.
good and evil is a perception. if you are bought up thinking that putting babys in a cage and burning them is good, because next year the crops will grow, then burning babys is percived to be good. when you talk about some nutbar (seemingly possesed) runing round a school killing everyone, it is likley that, that person is mentally ill. again is that an act of evil, or is evil just a perception based on our upbringing and our own desire for self preservation. personally i dont harm people because i know i wouldnt want it done to me, so my perseption is that hurting people is wrong. the military have to reprogram your ethics to make you a killer. so when peter says that good and evil are erelivent i would have to agree, but i also agree with alex that evil will always exist (in the form of the mentally ill, and the socially programmed) our biggest problem is that we are easly manipulated because we ask “why?”. we question our own existance.
i agree that human behavior is environmental, having lived on the streets and amongst less savory people as well as living in comfort surrounded by both savory and sweet people. i have seen this with my own eyes. ask yourself, what would it take for you to kill someone who has done nothing to hurt you? no matter how much you want to deny it, there is something that could drive you to it.
i think what we all heard/saw today was 2 people that agree something must be done, but cant agree on how. i must say that peters idea does look like a very plausable solution (and im not on about the venus project which is an idea for after the colapse of the NWO). global non compliance. if we all stand together, weather or not we are christian, muslim, athiest, humanist spiritualist or futurest (peter), and work together to bring down the NWO. spread the word in any way you feel gets the message accross, and boycott whatever you can that supports the elites. fight to keep the internet as it is. (i know that the internet is abused by a small few like nonces, but we all know what policing, control and censorship means) it will be hard. most of all. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECT THEM.
for those who dont understand scarcity and abundance. i recommend an old film called GOLD starring roger moore, in that you will see how scarcity is controlled.
Alex I love ya, but you could have handled that better. i think you need to get peter on again and be a little more civil, and repair the damage that interview has done to both of you. the last thing you need is people putting videos of you on youtube making comparisons with fox news like behaviour.
ill finish by merging one of the things you say with what peter has to say. “Human behavor is not genetic it is environmental. the earth is round, i dont care what you say the earth is round.”
please alex look into his idea with a more open mind. and look at the words he uses like “god, evil, good, institution, etc” as metaphore. im i wiccan and i always use the word god, but not meaning the lord god. i use the word to describe an essence (david icke calls it consiousness).
i think if you both put aside your differences, together you could wake up more than ever. you could both work so well together if it wasnt for the few opposing views you both have.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
“approval of House Representatives ”
That statement tells me it is not FREE….
The citizens who pay taxes PAY FOR IT…
This is the problem..GVT thinks if it does something the money comes from thin air..therefore it is “FREE”…like a welfare program..
We cannot afford to be allowing stupid people who are not in touch with reality make decisions for those of us who are…
Again.. This is exactly why we are in this mess… and they keep getting more stupid every day…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
I acnnot beleive the ignorance…
THERE IS NOTHING FREE IN THE US..SOMEBODY ALwAYS PAYS !!!!!
I noticed a couple of comments on an inteview… I have heard AJ on a few C2C shows and tried to listen to him once on the web(dial up is all I have)..
Alex seems to be the type when the game is not going his way he wants to take his ball and go home… Just acasual observance. he lacks the control..as exhibited in the Michelle Malkin “attack” for lack of a better word…
He simpy does not have thepeople skills to get much accomplished … he plays “my way or the hiway” too much.. and he loses credibility..and I am assuming he has some.as a person.. But he ceratinly is not a national figure or someone worthy or the worship I see some attributing to him on some of the posts here…
Why invite someone on your show for an exchange of ideas only to have a negative outcome?
October 15th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Even if this is censored (which is wrong). This wi-fi thing will just give us hackers more to control and we will be able to enhiliate the censorship and those enforcing it.

Wow, I just got through listening to the Alex and Peter Joseph conflagration. I had a hard time taking sides on this one. I have only seen Alex so “animated” one other time, in the interview with Noam Chomsky who I thought had some very valid points.
Even though I thought zeitgeist was a patchwork of movies made by close friends of Alex’s, and in itself plays some audio from Alex, and Bill Hicks, and other visionaries. Joe Rogan has a similar although simpler view like Peter Joseph, and when he is on the show he’s treated with slightly more respect for his opinion.
I have to say I was a bit disappointed with Alex’s angle on this, but I still agree with him on many topics but he gets in his radio talk show host “persona”.

“But he [Alex] certainly is not a national figure or someone worthy or[of] the worship I see some attributing to him on some of the posts here”
Casual Observer,
What is a national figure? Like a politician who lies and tells people whatever they want to hear? There are some things in life that there can be no compromise. I too thought AJ was giving the Michelle Malkin issue too much attention, until I put myself in his shoes. It wasn’t my name, reputation, and life’s work that was being attacked. Also, AJ is respected, not worshiped. He had the Zeitgeist guy on the show because his listeners requested the interview. Although I cannot understand why AJ buys into religion, I accept the fact that he does; knowing that, I understand why the Zeitgeist guy rubs him wrong. Although he certainly does not have to, I would like AJ to explain his faith just so I can understand. I was religious until I began studying brain research and evolutionary psychology.
I appreciate your post #55. Sometimes I feel like throwing in the towel.
Don’t change, AJ!
