Hawaii to Become Police State?

Submitted by HPI on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 23:14

What are three of our Hawaii state legislators thinking? Are they completely ignorant of the U.S. Constitution that they have sworn to uphold?

It is becoming increasingly obvious, and highly embarrassing, that many members of the US Congress have absolutely no idea what the Constitution says, or how the justice system works. Rep. John Mizuno (D-Hawaii) recently introduced a bill that intends to keep a log of every website visited by every person using the internet in Hawaii in order to target internet harassment, in direct defiance of the Fourth Amendment.

HB 2288 provisions that all internet service providers will be required to retain "subscriber's information and internet destination history information" for all their customers. This includes personal internet protocol (IP) addresses of web surfers, domain names of the websites they visit, as well as all host names (http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2012/Bills/HB2288_.pdf). — Natural News

Kill Hollywood Movement

Submitted by HPI on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 21:23

The industry behind SOPA and PIPA is getting blowback. Max Keiser says that Hollywood must go.

Chris Dodd, former Connecticut Senator who is now chairman and CEO of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), has threatened politicians who won't back the movie and recording industry wishes, such as on SOPA and PIPA, saying, "Those who count on quote 'Hollywood' for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who's going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don't ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don't pay any attention to me when my job is at stake."

Is this why Hawaii's legislature keeps giving Hollywood special financial support for movies shot in Hawaii, even when the state is going broke? Are our politicians getting special financial and other incentives from the motion picture and recording industries?

CNN's John King, attacked by Newt Gingrich in the last presidential debate before the South Carolina primary, digs deeper. Newt enjoyed a surge in South Carolina from his perceived position way behind Romney after his spirited defense at the beginning of the debate of his cheating ways.

But it turns out that the character witnesses that Newt said would back his denial of asking his second wife for an open marriage were his two daughters. Period.

The debate audience and South Carolinians loved the smooth-talking liar and handed Newt a strong victory in its primary last Saturday.
