Telecom Executives: Weapons of Mass Deception

In the high-stakes battle over Network Neutrality, the broadband companies are stooping lower and lower. They’re determined to make the Internet into their own personal fiefdom, with toll roads, fast lanes and slow lanes, and intolerable waiting periods for anyone who hasn’t paid huge extortion fees to use the Fast Lane.

The telecom industry already has more money than God. They’re spending millions of dollars a week to bribe their prostitutes (formerly known as Congress) to delete Net Neutrality, the Internet “First Amendment” which has kept the Internet a level playing field for hundreds of millions of users. And so far most of these hookers have been spreading their legs on command.

But the telecom monopoly isn't satisfied just having a million-to-one financial advantage over the rest of us. They already have Congress by the shorthairs, but that's not enough. They’re also stooping to new underhanded sleazy tactics that most criminals wouldn’t even sink to. They’re creating phony “grassroots” organizations pretending to “save” the Internet from “government regulation.”

The latest example is this group of lowlife douchebags. This group is affiliated with the largest telecom companies (AT&T, Cingular, BellSouth, among others), and they’re trying to con millions of Internet users into joining their cause (i.e. deleting Net Neutrality).

If you see an ad for this organization, ignore it. Even better, send them an e-mail telling them what a bunch of F#$&in’ C#&%$#%&ers they are.

Here is the current online ad being pushed by this gang of fucksticks. It’s sort of entertaining, but DON’T be fooled. Even more unbelievable: a lot of bloggers, including some of the big-name liberal blogs, are actually running this ad at their sites. Helloo!!! What’s next, the NAACP running a recruitment ad for the Ku Klux Klan?

So, in addition to having gazillions of dollars at their fingertips, the telecom companies are also stooping to the most slippery shameless tactics imaginable. Sort of like a 300-pound mugger using the most brutal martial arts tactics for mugging an old lady in a wheelchair.

So don’t be fooled by any telecom robber barons posing as a grassroots organization trying to “save” the Internet. Whatever your political views, or your favorite online activities — blogging, chat rooms, search engines, movies, music — the telecom cartel would like to charge you an arm and a leg, and/or keep you waiting interminably every time you want to download something. Is this what you want?

If you haven’t already done so, please click here to sign petitions and send e-mails asking Congress to KEEP Net Neutrality. Act now, while you still can.
