Now is the time to send your faxes and emails to the DoJ, with copies to your Congressional delegation. Frankly, it is painfully obvious to the entire world, at this point, that serious felonies are being committed by people who are representing themselves to be honest, law-abiding citizens (sounds a bit like the MOB, doesn’t it!)

I genuinely hope that Ms. Santangelo is successful in her counter-suit against Sony and that she succeeds in making the ROCOH allegations stick.

Every morning, as I read the Op-Ed page and the watered down news items, my blood begins to boil. History is a hobby of mine, but I cannot recall studying any time or era in the history of this great Republic where flagrant, open, brazen corruption was more rife than right now! Even the historical scandals, such as the graft of Tammany Hall, the Robber Barons, Teapot Dome, Watergate, Irangate, and so many others pale by comparison with the widespread criminality in the upper echelons of business and government.

Andrew Jackson was one of the most unabashedly candid violators of the Laws passed by Congress then upheld upheld by the Supreme Court after Jackson appealed the constitutionality of the laws that speficially prohibited him from taking certain actins or engaging in certain affairs. Ronald Reagan and George Dubya make Old Hickory look like a timid juvenile delinquent. The corruption of the Warren Harding Administration, by comparison to that of George 43, was positively angelic. The way some Chief Executives and some Congresses have turned a blind eye to wrong doing can be brushed aside as mere child’s play when one takes a less-than-casual look at what is going on in this country, and has been building ever since the early 1980’s when Billy and the Boyz in Redmond started planning their nefarious schemes to become multi-trillionaires.

The problem we face, in this day and age, is that these villains openly admit what they are doing — then adamantly insist that they are in the RIGHT by doing it!!!

Adolf Hitler, himself, was not so open and above board about his intentions to subvert the rights of man. He, at least, used thinly-disguised ruses, such as blaming the Reichstag fire on the Communists. Ronald Reagan, when caught with his hand in the cookie jar denied that there ever was a cookie jar for his hand to be found in. Then, when shown the cookie jar, he couldn’t remember ever having seen a cookie jar, nor could he recall ever sticking his hand into one. Now, there you go again, accusing him of dying his hair and using makeup, when he has repeatedly told you that he does not dye his hair or use rouge on his cheeks. He does not use makeup, but will veto any spending law that carries a rider making it illegal to do so.

But I digress. It is extremely unlikely that we will ever get the DoJ to investigate the money laundering schemes of certainn Congressmen; it is too much to expect that an Honorable Senator would be accused of Insider Trading; and it doesn’t make sense to investigate high-placed personnel in the administration of the man who gave you your job as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.

Friends. Fellow would-be guardians of the American heritage based on honest values and a genuine respect for the rule of non-oppressive law: I implore you to take just a moment to fax or email the DoJ, insisting that some action be taken to at least give the impression that our government is still based on the rule of law. It might be too late. More than likely, far too much money has already changed hands; too many allegiances have already been bought and sold.

If you feel that you should support your government, right or wrong, I ask you to take ten or fifteen minutes to read the Declaration of Independence (it should take that long if you genuinely read it and pay attention to what it says…)

But DO SOMETHING.

Which means that their behavious is not based on the human model.

That is why they are willing to sue chldren for sharing, an act of human goodwill.

So in order to protect shareholders from the negative impact on earnings that massive lawsuits would bring, companies will always deny any wrongdoing. Always.

The Sony Executives were “rewarded” by lateral moves into other positions. Now that’s a heck of a thing when it is done with approval at the very top of the corporation. Sony sees nothing wrong with bending or even violating a few laws here and there to get where they are wanting to be. Again the actions speak louder than words ever can.

If you want to see the evil of corporations acting in their own self-interests then all you have to do is look at this and the rootkit and other DRM anticopy issues to realise that these corporations are in it up to the top of their pointy little heads.

Sony maybe the ones in the news, that doesn’t mean they were all by theirselves. By admission, First4Internet has already admitted that all the cartel were their customers. In otherwords each and every one of them not only knew of this style of hiding problems and obtaining info but could have released it at anytime. I would suspect had Sony’s little ploy went off without a hitch then computer users around the world would be dealing with these “DRM” glitches.

You will notice that any statements by Sony has been most carefully worded. No where in them is the words “recall”, “we’re sorry”, or even “we made a mistake” part of the message. Sony at this point reminds me of a snake oil salesman, complete with prepared speech, still hyping their product when every one around them that has been keeping up with this debacle are cleaning their ears to see if it still sounds the same the second time as it did on that very first unbelievable time.

Thank you but no thank you Sony, you have done us enough with all that friendly help the first time you tried. I still haven’t heard anything from Sony about the phone home feature. Strangely, it doesn’t exist as far as any admissions by Sony goes. So just what are you doing with that information you gathered so stealthly on your customers?

A top executive who finds out his subordinates are crooks because the justice department told him so should be fired, for not figuring it out himself.

Sony shareholders are being thrashed too by incompetents.
