Inside Bell’s Push To End Net Neutrality In Canada
by Robert Hiltz
Canada’s biggest media companies appear to want to put an end to net neutrality, in the name of blocking piracy.According to a draft proposal to the CRTC obtained by CANADALAND, Bell is leading a coalition of companies that intends to push the telecom regulator to create a not-for-profit corporation that would maintain a list of websites it had determined were peddling pirated materials, and force all internet service providers in the country to block access to them. The proposal closely follows testimony Bell made this fall before a House of Commons committee.
The new corporation would be called the “Internet Piracy Review Agency” (IPRA).
The coalition includes broadcasters, movie studios, and cinema operators from across Canada. After Bell, some of the biggest names include Rogers, Cineplex, and Quebec theatre chain Cinémas Guzzo, according to emails obtained by CANADALAND. A comp lete list of companies supporting the plan has not yet been finalized. The coalition expects to file its application to the CRTC on December 19, the emails say.
A spokesperson for Rogers, however, says the company has not yet decided whether to sign on to Bell’s plan: “We’re currently reviewing the proposal.”
According to the emails, the coalition doesn’t want to get U.S. studios and broadcasters as official applicants to the CRTC; instead, the American media conglomerates would join the application after the process gets rolling.
One expert to whom CANADALAND showed copies of the draft application thinks it’s a very bad idea. “It’s enormously problematic, I think it’s legally questionable, and I think it’s terrible policy,” says Michael Geist.
Geist, a University of Ottawa law professor and internet policy expert, says the proposal goes well beyond anything he’s seen before. “This is a dramatic shift. This is a prospect of significant internet regulation being done by the CRTC and without any court oversight,” Geist says. “The only court oversight [would come] after a site has been blocked.”...http://www.canadalandshow.com/bell-pushing-end-to-net-neutrality-in-canada/

Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program
For
years, the program investigated reports of unidentified flying objects,
according to Defense Department officials, interviews with program
participants and records obtained by The New York Times. It was run by a
military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of
the Pentagon’s C Ring, deep within the building’s maze.
The
Defense Department has never before acknowledged the existence of the
program, which it says it shut down in 2012. But its backers say that,
while the Pentagon ended funding for the effort at that time, the
program remains in existence. For the past five years, they say,
officials with the program have continued to investigate episodes
brought to them by service members, while also carrying out their other
Defense Department duties.
The
shadowy program — parts of it remain classified — began in 2007, and
initially it was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada
Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time and who has
long had an interest in space phenomena. Most of the money went to an
aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and
longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow, who is currently working
with NASA to produce expandable craft for humans to use in space.
On CBS’s “60 Minutes” in May, Mr. Bigelow said he was “absolutely convinced” that aliens exist and that U.F.O.s have visited Earth...https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html

Greens Vs. The Environment
...It is illegal to shoot Golden Eagles, but if you kill thousands of
them in the name of green energy, you are a green hero and get big tax
breaks and subsidies from the government. The US Park Service says that
there are twenty thousand Golden Eagles in the western US
The most recent survey of Golden Eagles across four large Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the West (80 percent of the species’ range in the lower 48 states is in these BCRs) provided an estimate of 20,722 Golden Eagles of all ages across the survey area.The Altamont Pass wind farm kills one Golden Eagle every three days, which means they have killed more than 10% of the current population...https://realclimatescience.com/2017/12/greens-vs-the-environment/

HADRIAN'S CURSE –– THE INVENTION OF PALESTINE
by Tsafrir Ronen
Almost 2,000 years ago, the Roman Emperor Hadrian cursed the
Jewish People and decreed that Judea should be henceforth called
"Palestine" after the Philistines, an ancient enemy of Israel that had
disappeared from the world's stage more than 600 years earlier. It
was his final twist of the knife and legacy after wars, massacres,
persecutions, and exiles that had largely extinguished the Jewish
presence from Judea....http://www.think-israel.org/ronen.hadriancurse.html

Murmurations: The Mesmerizing Beauty of Birds in Flight
The art of flying - short 2 min version from Jan van IJken on Vimeo.
WATCH THE FULL-LENGHT 7 MIN FILM HERE: www.janvanijken.com
The art of flying is a short film about “murmurations”: the mysterious flights of the Common Starling. It is still unknown how the thousands of birds are able to fly in such dense swarms without colliding. Every night the starlings gather at dusk to perform their stunning air show.
Because of the relatively warm winter of 2014/2015, the starlings stayed in the Netherlands instead of migrating southwards. This gave filmmaker Jan van IJken the opportunity to film one of the most spectacular and amazing natural phenomena on earth.
