More from Infowars.com on how Big Brother is trying to keep you in the dark:
*********************************************************
While establishment media outlets in the UK spent most of last week
reporting on China’s censorship of political websites in anticipation
of the Olympic games, they ignored the fact that London’s St. Pancras
International, one of the biggest transport hubs in the west, has
already implemented stringent filters that block users of their wi-fi
service from accessing even mildly political websites.
Traveling through St. Pancras in order to board the Eurostar on my
way to Switzerland, I had an extra couple of hours that I thought I
would fill by checking in on some of my favorite alternative news
websites.
Upon clicking on my favorites menu and selecting prison planet.com,
I was quickly met with a white screen and bold black text informing me
that the website in question was blocked and could not be accessed.
Was this some kind of a technical error? No, as I was soon to discover that all websites affiliated with Alex Jones are blocked in St. Pancras.
Not only that, but even far milder left-leaning commentary websites like thinkprogress.org were on the same blacklist. In fact, every non-mainstream news website was inaccessible.
By the way, when I visited Communist China last summer,
which filters every website through a government blacklist, prison
planet.com was not blocked and neither were any other English language
alternative news websites.
Internet censorship of alternative news websites is
worse in London than it is in Communist China. The hypocrisy was
painfully evident as I sat reading newspaper headlines about how evil
China is for censoring anti-government material while London’s biggest
transport network, which recently underwent a £300 million
regeneration, did exactly the same thing with not so much of a peep out
of London’s broadsheets or tabloids.
St. Pancras connects to Kings Cross station and the London Underground. Perhaps it was our exposé of the fraud of the official story behind the 2005 London bombings
that irked the censors, yet there is little explanation for also
blocking a website like thinkprogress.org, which doesn’t even cover
UK-related issues.
This is another precursor to Internet 2, where only
government-approved websites that have obtained permission by means of
an accepted registration application are allowed to be seen by web
users.
It’s also a stark reminder about how our media has
diverted all attention concerning Internet censorship towards what is
happening in China when the exact same control measures are being put
in place right here at home.
