Re: Good example of what Titor was trying to tell
Two more things:
a- regarding vCJD: California Slaughterhouse Already Under Investigation For Mistreating Cattle
LOS ANGELES (AP) ― The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Sunday recalled 143 million pounds of frozen beef from a Southern California slaughterhouse that is being investigated for mistreating cattle.
Officials said it was the largest beef recall in the United States, surpassing a 1999 ban of 35 million pounds of ready-to-eat meats.
The federal agency said the recall will affect beef products dating to Feb. 1, 2006, that came from Chino-based Westland/Hallmark Meat Co., which supplies meat to the federal school lunch program and to some major fast-food chains.
Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer said his department has evidence that Westland did not routinely contact its veterinarian when cattle became non-ambulatory after passing inspection, violating health regulations.
"Because the cattle did not receive complete and proper inspection, Food Safety and Inspection Service has determined them to be unfit for human food and the company is conducting a recall," Schafer said in a statement.
Federal officials suspended operations at Westland/Hallmark after an undercover video surfaced showing crippled and sick animals being shoved with forklifts.
Two former employees were charged Friday with animal cruelty. No charges have been filed against Westland, but an investigation by federal authorities continues.
b- Regarding Internet:
Wikileaks Under Attack: California Court Wipes Wikileaks.org Out of Existence Quote
US District Judge Jeffrey White ordered the California web hosting company Dynadot to "immediately clear and remove" records from Wikileaks and "prevent the domain name from resolving to the wikileaks.org website or any other website or server...
This is the equivalent of ordering a newspaper or news magazine to be removed from the shelves. I see it as a major attack on freedom of the press.
The fact that even novice internet users can still access the information is irrelevant. If there is a legal challenge to information posted, then order that the specific information be removed. Any party harmed is free to sue for damages.
But you can "avoid dns then and go direct"
