Right now, Congress is debating a law that would give them the power to
censor the world's Internet -- creating a blacklist that could target
YouTube, WikiLeaks and even groups like Avaaz!

Under the new law, the US could force Internet providers to block any
website on suspicion of violating copyright or trademark legislation, or
even failing to sufficiently police their users' activities. And,
because so much of the Internet's hosts and hardware are located in the
US, their blacklist would clamp down on the free web for all of us.

The vote could happen at any time now, but we can help stop this --
champions in Congress want to preserve free speech and tell us that a
global outcry would strengthen their hand, and one of them -- Senator
Wyden -- says he will "filibuster" or block any vote on the bill by
reading out our petition names until the clock runs out! Let's urgently
raise our voices from every corner of the world to build an
unprecedented global petition. Click below to sign and then forward to
everyone:

Do NOT drink the Google k00l-aid. There is NO freedom where Google is concerned.

I've mentioned before that because of my 20+ years of active service in
the Royal Navy I qualified for continuing service with MI5 (rather like
007) but decided to help on a non-contractual basis without accepting
further Government funds. I do, though, keep in close contact with 'the
authorities'.

No, many of your links lead to dangerous places.

I ask because they seem to have a very close business relationship. I
didn't think that can happen for long before google buys you.

I get this nslookup result for trueislam1.com:

FQDN: ghs.l.google.com
- 209.85.145.121

rDNS on that IP comes back with cbf02m01-in-f121.1e100.net.

Using another DNS server I get 216.239.32.21, which rDNS to
any-in-2015.1e100.net.

MarkMonitor acts as some sort of holdinging company for domains that
google acquires. Not sure why google needs such a service - I thought
google was a domain registrar.
