Wanna Know how SNEAKY Bush IS About the BILL - Check this out!

[Auditor]

All of which suggests that, if this report is true the presidential signing was a mere formality.

Makes me sick.

President Bush signed the Port Security Act, which included a rider which banned online gaming in the US. But the real issue, which is how the corrupt politicians in our country are slowly taking our personal freedoms away from us (And by the way, internet poker has nothing to do with Port Security).

The new Unlawful Internet Gambling Act is equally corrupt, and even more dangerous. First, this bill was originally introduced by State Representative Bob Goodlatte of Virginia. His bill proposed to ban all online gambling... except for online state lotteries and online horse racing. Why the carve outs? Well obviously lotteries are taxed, but the horse racing probably has more to do with the $10,000 he received from the National Thoroughbred Racing Association..

Then, this bill was attached secretly to the Port Security Act on September 30th at 1am local Washington DC time. Senator Bill Frist, consideredone of the most corrupt members of Congress, attached the gambling ban to "must pass" legislation, without debate, and without many Senators even present. Why would he do such a thing? It may have something to do with the $19,000 contribution from Harrahs Casino he received... oh wait, he received another one for almost $25,000 as well! So it's ok to take cash from the land based casinos... but he needs to ban the online casinos. Gotcha.

Now before anyone here starts screaming about terrorism, underage gambling, or money laundering let me set you straight. Many of you may believe the political propaganda you've been fed, but the truth is as follows:

These companies are as legitimate corporations, not terrorism fronts. Many are publicly traded firms on the London Stock Exchange - Like Party Poker (owned by Party Gaming plc) ; Casino-on-Net and 888.com (owned by 888 Holdings plc ) ; or English Harbour Casino, VIP Sports Betting, or Nine.com sports book (all owned by Leisure & Gaming plc ).

These companies also have provisions in place to prevent underage gambling. They can't take credit cards, and the only methods to fund these accounts (such and international bank transfers and overseas wires) would only be practical for an adult to accomplish. And on an interesting side note, the new Unlawful Internet Gambling Act has no provisions to prevent underage gambling at state sanctioned online horse racing and lotto sites... go figure.

Money laundering is almost impossible at online casinos, and it would certainly be much more difficult to do so online --- where every transaction leaves a detailed electronic fingerprint --- than at a land based casino. In an interview for CNN, legally regulated British bookmakers state that "Real world casinos work with real cash, and many leave cloudy audit trails that are hard to follow. But the online industry says, in the cashless world of net betting, many bettors are tied to an account number, making it hard to hide. The only way of getting your funds to an Internet casino or an Internet bookmaker is to pay the casino by credit card or transfer it by bank transfer."

The bottom line is this: These crooks in Washington keep trying to legislate morality to us... and they have no business doing so. But they’ve gone even farther than that… actually criminalize an activity in our homes that’s legal in 48 states! There are 30 million online gamblers in the United States, and the politicians continue to take their kickbacks and promote special interests instead of representing the will of the people.

Bill Frist is a crook. He's under investigation for insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission… and the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington named Frist one of the most corrupt politicians in Washington. Given the current state of politics, that’s quite an accomplishment.

Frist was bought and paid for by Harrahs. When he got this bill passed, Harrahs stock shot up 14% overnight, resulting in a growth in their net worth of $1.7 billion. Not too coincidentally, they were just about to receive a buy-out offer… imagine that.

This law is pure Washington bull… anyone can see it. But maybe you still don’t think it has anything to do with people who don’t gamble online. Well idoes. This bill has provisions in it which will open the door to allow the government to track your online movements and force your internet service providers to censor what you can see on the web. How Orwellian is that? If the government could only get this concerned about online sex predators, identity theft, or kiddy porn… but we know they can’t get paid-off from any of those things.

So, why is no one covering this story?

The following is a bit unrelated to our objectives of winning back our freedom to pursue our individual rights but is related in a sense to how much our government is out to get us.....Its an interesting story about how an 8th grade 14 year old girl got to learn first hand of how paranoid our government is about expressing ourselves....Granted she went overboard, but sending out TWO secret service guys out to the girl's house ???...I know what the next movie thats going to come out this fall..."Enemy of the State Gone Wild"...Anyway, read on if just for interest's sake.....Here is the link (true story)...

People were getting angry with me for saying the same thing, before Bush signed the Bill. Bush is and was a BIG supporter of this Bill.

Bush and his buddies Frist, Kyle and Goodlatte all knew the bill would never become law thru the 'normal' channels. So they had to sneak it thru.

And the Casinos that did nothing... except to run and hide... I hope they get what they deserve... nothing, they are a bunch of damn money grubbing cowards.

The only thing we can hope for is that once the Dems are in power (November 9th 2006) that all the invesgtations into all the dirty goings on in Washington will force some bright public light on the back alley transactions regarding this gambling bill (I personally think some laws were broken here by these people).

All I can is, the taking away of peoples rights in the name of someone's elses religious believes had better stop before people start getting real pissed off...

Yea Im no big fan of the Democrats but I think the Republicans will get hammered this election. Thier legislation has been outrageous over the past 5 years....constantly chipping away at our freedoms....an endless war, ugggh.

I'm sorry - But I LOVE you - would you marry me?

ROFLMAO!

Sheesh - for once - I've met someone who actually sees the damn Conspiracy and gets it.

I was feeling like a Conspiracy Theorist who was the only one who was getting this.

Like I was making too big of a deal about it.

I am so Glad you folks are understanding ---- or are THINKING for YOURSELVES.

At first... Even I thought it was no big deal - thought - naw - Bush won't sign it. But the deeper I looked - the more I realized that this is an outright infringement on the rights of the WORLD WIDE WEB - which NO ONE can own.

It stops free trade - it makes Banks and ISPs WARRANTLESS SEARCH Engines...

It hits so many wrong points for me...

And when the media didn't cover it.

And when the Foley Scandal came out...

I realized that this is a much bigger deal than just Gambling.

Has anyone noticed that Foley is hardly mentioned after the 13th.

This is something the GOVERNMENT wanted hidden.

Well - before the FBI knocks on my door - LMAO - I'm out there informing Americans as much as I can.

I'm posting - pestering - and doing what I can.

Because even though I am a gambler - We are a small community - We were the only ones who noticed this as it was happening - because it said "GAMBLING" on it.

Which half the world - looks away - from the word Gambling - and ignores it... Unless they are sitting in front of a Slot Machine in Vegas or buying a Lottery ticket at the store - or playing bingo... So they wouldn't investigate it.

Ah well.

We'll see what happens.

I am trying to keep plugging the media - keep pecking at the forums - keep sending individual emails - keep posting to political sites.

I'm going to keep trying to inform people.

I don't get hot about a lot of things. I don't have a lot of energy - as some of you know, I'm currently on a chemotherapy like treatment - BUT THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT to me - than most things.

I get angry about anything that affects Privacy and Constitutional rights.

And I'm really angry.

Thank you to everyone who is helping to spread the word.
