What is good for the others is good for you too

Ever thought of a website?
If you did, you must know that making it is not enough, you also have to find the right place to host it.
How to find the one that best suits your needs?
There is a webhosting site where you can find all the available opportunities and you can also choose the best, knowing what is actually the best.
What I found particularly interesting was the Top 10 Dedicated Hosts.
You have the list of all best available hosts for your special needs.
The world is using the internet to connect with people from all over. It has turned into a daily routine, like drinking coffee and reading the morning paper for us. We can’t live without getting online and checking our email or checking the world news.
That means it is of crucial importance, if you own a business, or if you want to go on having a business, you HAVE to be on the Net.
But not only actually being there, also being visible, reachable and available 24/7.
There are probably hundreds of different ways that a hosting enterprise can win the competition and be among the Top 10.
Of course if you want to reach the top you MUST have a good partner.
But how to find the right one for your particular needs?
Here you find everything:
Best Budget Hosting, Best Blog Hosting, Best whatever you can think of...
Without of course forgetting speed, availability, price, services, Operating Systems, Utility Tools, Ratings, Reviews.
And what is the secret?
Their rating is done by customers just like you, and you can be sure, what is good for them is good also for you.

History doesn´t rhyme, it simply repeats

Al Qaeda was founded by the United States and the British during the struggle against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Many of its leaders, such as the reputed second-in-command Ayman Zawahiri and the current rising star Anwar Awlaki, are evidently double agents of MI-6 and/or the CIA.
Al Qaeda ideology offers a ready and easy way for the Anglo-American secret intelligence agencies to attack and destabilize existing Arab and Muslim governments as part of the ceaseless need of imperialism and colonialism to loot and attack the developing nations.
This is precisely what is happening in Libya today.
The US and the British used the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to oppose the successful anti-imperialist policies of Egyptian President Nasser, who scored immense victories for his country by nationalizing the Suez Canal and building the Aswan High Dam, without which modern Egypt would be simply unthinkable.
The Muslim brotherhood provided an active and capable fifth column of foreign agents against Nasser, in the same way that the official website of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is trumpeting its support for the rebellion against Colonel Qaddafi.
Militants or patsies who spontaneously join al Qaeda are often sincerely motivated by a deep hatred of the United States and a burning desire to kill Americans, as well as Europeans.
The Bush administration policy used the alleged presence of Al Qaeda as a pretext for direct military attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Obama administration is now doing something different, intervening on the side of a rebellion in which Al Qaeda and its co-thinkers are heavily represented while attacking the secular authoritarian government of Colonel Gaddafi.
Political formations in developing countries (and not just there) are often a mask for ethnic and religious rivalries; so it is in Libya.
The rebellion against Qaddafi is a toxic brew compounded of fanatical hatred of Qaddafi, Islamism, tribalism, and localism. From this point of view, Obama has foolishly chosen to take sides in a tribal war.
The rebel council is “chaired by the well-spoken former justice minister for Libya, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, [and] consists of 31 members, ostensibly representatives from across Libya, of whom many cannot be named for “security reasons”…
Many members of the council are being kept secret in order to protect them from Qaddafi, or to prevent them from being recognized in the west as al Qaeda terrorists or sympathizers.
The latter seems to be a more accurate summary of the real state of affairs.
The rebels use the monarchist flag, and may advocate the return to the throne of one of the two pretenders to the Idris line.
They are far closer to monarchism than to democracy.
The Stratfor view of King Idris and the Senussi: “King Idris came from a line of rulers of the Sanussi order, a Sufi religious order founded in 1842 in Al Bayda, that practices a conservative and austere form of Islam.
The Sanussiyah represented a political force in Cyrenaica that preceded the creation of the modern state of Libya, and whose reverberations continue to be felt to this day.
It is no coincidence that this region is the home of Libyan jihadism, with groups like the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).
The Gadhafi family has thus been calling the current uprising an elaborate Islamist plot….”
Under the monarchy, Libya was by some estimates absolutely the poorest country in the world.
Today, Libya ranks 53 on the UN Human Development Index and qualifies as the most developed country in Africa, ahead of Russia, Brazil, Ukraine, and Venezuela. Qaddafi’s stewardship has objective merits which cannot be seriously denied.
And what would be for example the status of women under the neo-Senussi of the Benghazi rebel council?
The Obama method is to use Al Qaeda to overthrow independent governments, and then either Balkanize and partition the countries in question, or else use them as kamikaze puppets against larger enemies like Russia, China, or Iran.
This approach implies a more or less open fraternization with terrorist groups, which was signaled in a general way in Obamas famous Cairo speech of 2009.
The links of the Obama campaign to the terrorist organizations deployed by the CIA against Russia were already a matter of public record three years ago.
One of the fatal contradictions in the current State Department and CIA policy is that it aims at a cordial alliance with Al Qaeda killers in northeast Libya, at the very moment when the United States and NATO are mercilessly bombing the civilian northwest Pakistan in the name of a total war against Al Qaeda, and US and NATO forces are being killed by Al Qaeda guerrillas in that same Afghanistan-Pakistan theater of war.
The force of this glaring contradiction causes the entire edifice of US war propaganda to collapse. The US has long since lost any basis in morality for military force.

No Fly Zone

No Fly zone means a place where you cannot fly.
The 1973 Nato resolution concerns exactly this.
Applied to Lybia means that nothing should be able to fly there.
The first French mission bombed the flying tanks of Ghaddafi.
The flying tank is a Ghafaddafi´s special invention, his secret weapon, something like Hitler´s V2.
Sarkozy was not deceived.
The second mission, Anglo-American destroyed TRIPOLI AND SIRTE; especially concentrating on Ghaddafi´s flying bunker.
Witnesses swear that Khamis, Ghaddafi´s son, was killed while trying to escape like Icaro, flying with false wings, violating the Nato resolution.
Should a hospital try to escape flying, you can be sure a tomahawk will immediately stop it.

Congestion prices lie exposed

Just a few days after Broadband Reports broke the news AT&T was imposing an Internet Overcharging scheme on its broadband customers, evidence continues to arrive illustrating the company’s planned usage limits are more about protecting their U-verse video business than actually controlling “heavy users.”
It reads“is to ensure the quality of the customer experience” necessary to solve “congestion in certain points of the network and interfering with other people’s access.”, in reality the company’s planned usage limits are more about protecting their U-verse video business than actually controlling “heavy users.”

What really means intelligent control?

"The intelligence in the original Internet was meant to reside largely at the end points of the network - the computers - while the specialized routing computers were relatively dumb post offices of various size, mainly confined to reading addresses and transferring packets of data to adjacent systems.
But these days, when cloud computing means a lot of the information is stored and processed on computers out on the network, there is growing need for more intelligent control systems to orchestrate the behavior of thousands of routing machines.
It will make it possible, for example, for managers of large networks to program their network to prioritize certain types of data, perhaps to ensure quality of service or to add security to certain portions of a network." NYT

I think it is extremely dangerous to begin to talk of need for more intelligent control.
Intelligence is never objective and can mean very different solutions, depending on the applier.

"While the stated possible positives of such technology are real enough, the same mechanisms could be used to impose exactly the sorts of walled gardens, service degradations, and "pay to play" limits that are at the heart of Net Neutrality concerns, as dominant ISPs in particular would be tempted to leverage this technology to further restrict user applications to the benefit of their own profit centers."
