Internet Porn's Death Watch

For years I've wanted the FCC to step in and censor the Internet and now it looks like it may actually happen. In a brilliant move, the FCC is planning to auction an unused piece of 25 megahertz wireless spectrum under the restrictions that the winner provide free wireless Internet access and censor obscene content.

If the FCC's plans come to fruition, 90% of Americans will have access to Free Internet service that's free of pornography and obscene material. The only people PAYING for Internet service will be businesses, and people seeking obscene materials. Within a few years being a private citizen paying for Internet service will itself be considered grounds for an investigation.

What family will stretch their budget to pay for an Internet connection, if the only valid reason for paying for it is if you were seeking obscene and illegal materials? Combined with the fresh interest in enforcing obscenity laws, American access to pornographic material would be returned to 1950's access levels, where it was a rare and shameful thing, hard to find and a humiliation if others learned you were viewing it.

The pendulum is swinging and the permissive whores debasing our culture with obscenity are being marginalized again.

Suck it Libs, Stimulus checks being spent on domestic goods

Many feared the Stimulus checks would be spent on consumer goods imported from China, benefiting the Chinese economy but not the USA. While Liberals are desperately trying to paint the program as a failure, the reality is that the checks are being spent on domestic goods and services.

Liberals desperate for a cloud to go with the silver lining are harping on the fact that many of the expenses are frivolous. Apparently Liberals would prefer the funds be given to charity or a savings account instead of being spent to bolster the economy.

While it's hard to argue that Acupuncture for a Dog is anything but stupid, the money did go to a US Citizen. A far more level headed approach was a man who spent the check on landscaping for his home, giving work to a local business.

The point of the program was to increase the money spent domestically and boost the US economy, and that is exactly how people are spending it. Yes, Bourbon and Cigarettes may be "frivolous" but they're produced domestically by American companies. The Stimulus Plan is, so far, a success.

Banned from Digg.com for being anti-porn

I was an occasional user of the news aggregation site digg.com. I say I USED to be a user, because my account has been deleted. It turns out being anti-porn on Digg.com will get your account deleted.

My activities on 5/27/2008 were run of the mill. I posted a few comments and submitted two articles from my Blog. Enforcing Obscenity Laws at long last? and Shutting down California's Porn Industry with one simple law. Today, when I logged in, I got the error message that my account was "invalid". If I try to load my profile page at http://digg.com/users/cornswalled I'm treated to the message "Oops, what you're looking for isn't here!"

The lesson is clear. If you have a moral stance on any issue, Digg.com doesn't want to hear about it.

Shutting down California's Porn Industry with one simple law

Most of the porn produced in the United States comes from California. What if there was a simple, easy way to shut down all the porn production, a way to force all of the smut producers to pack up shop and leave the state?

The resulting fragmentation of the industry would make the production and distribution of obscene materials more difficult, and forever truncate the power of the industry. Even the annual "Adult Video Awards" a twisted parody of the already degenerate Oscars, would be forced to disband or relocate, as 90% of it's attendees would no longer be within an hour's drive.

It looks like it's going to happen.

The state of California is planning to put a 25% tax on the "the production and sale of pornographic videos."

This would initially result in an influx of revenue to the state, followed by an exodus of pornographers from California. The large, centralized porn studios would be disbanded, either crippled the by the sudden end of their profitability, or crushed under the expense of picking up and moving operations to a new state. The few who didn't go out of business would end up isolated from their existing talent pool of failed Hollywood actresses.

The simplicity is ingenious. You can't make a free speech defense over refusing to pay sales tax. The layers of taxation, 25% on production, 25% on the sale and so on, would bloat the eventual price of pornography at multiple levels. The perverts buying smut would be forced to pay several times the current price for adult videos.

It's an ingenious plan that will benefit the state economically and quickly erode the porn industry, dealing it a killing blow that would take a decade or more to recover from. If this is combined with the enforcement of existing obscenity laws we could see the death of American produced porn within the next five years.

Pray for the passage of this tax my friends, pray for it.

Enforcing Obscenity Laws at long last?

The world has been upside down. The New York Time recently published an article attacking the Supreme Court because it ruled that Child Pornography was illegal. Despite massive rallies where Family Advocates Call for Obscenity-Law Enforcement few cases have been brought to trial.

Now, the tide is turning.

Smut producer John "Buttman" Stagliano has been charged with seven felonies for his peddling of pornography. When convicted the porn peddling pervert will face prison time and over $7 Million in fines.

The major achievement in this case is not the fact that he's essentially being prosecuted for using the USPS to mail porn. That's an old avenue for attacking porn.

No, the exciting part of this case is that he's the first person charged under Chapter 47 of the United States Code, Sec. 223(d), "sending or displaying offensive material to persons under 18."

You see, this law makes it illegal to make pornography available online, and this is the first time it's being enforced.

"Whoever, in interstate or foreign communications, knowingly ... uses any interactive computer service to display in a manner available to a person under 18 years of age, any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication that is obscene or child pornography, regardless of whether the user of such service placed the call or initiated the communication; or knowingly permits any telecommunications facility under such person's control to be used for an activity prohibited by paragraph (1) with the intent that it be used for such activity, shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

That's right, making porn available online, even if it's "protected" by a "You must be 18 to continue" link, comes with a two year jail sentence per incident. Stagliano's three movies can land him in prison for six years, per web site selling them.

This case is intended to be a litmus test of the ban on Internet porn. If this goes through, if Stagliano goes to prison for his crimes, then you can see a massive crackdown on smut producers and sellers. With this law being enforced, my efforts to get a more explicit ban enacted would become unnecessary.

I ask everyone reading this blog to keep this case in your prayers. The harder the courts come down on Stagliano, the more porn producers will pack up and quit now, BEFORE they face jail time for selling smut.

Can we kill smut on the Internet? Probably not. Can we drive the industry offshore, thus making it easier to filter rout at a national level? Yes we can.
