    "Anonymous" doing their jobs there me thinks.
    Random meaningless hackings to create a threat to the internet.
    Well done lads and your unbeknownst leaders in American intel.

    Also I dont know this Aaron Swartz,.
    Was going to ask what happened.
    But I see now he "commited suicide".
    Another casualty of war I guess.

    Aran Swartz died on 11 January 2013.

    I didn't realize that New Zealand's time zone was a month behind us. :pac:

    I don't understand, with all their evil powers why can't they just force a simple bill through?

    Look at the Lisbon treaty.
    They do eventually when its important enough.
    I think it may depend on the seriousnes sof the issue, as to how they go about it.
    Alot of different things in play between each legislation being pushed.

    How did Aaron Swartz, who I'd never heard of before, affect the House vote?

    So Aaron Swartz wielded more power than the "powers-that-be" in the House, therefore they had to kill him?

    It makes no sense.

    Check online for the general theory going around.It should come up after a bit of searching.

    Lisbon went through because of scare mongering. It wasnt forced through, it was just dressed up differently with minor changes and resubmitted with bigger claims. Forcing it through would not have seen a second vote.

    I presume that is more or less what he ment.Instead of literally making a new law without it being passed in congress.
    I know Lisbon wasnt exactly forced through, but it was damn to close to that I dont see alot of difference.
    There wa salot of pressure an d propoganda at the time, tons of lies to fool the public about what parts of the amended treaty were going to be implemented and what wasnt.

    I think something that big cant just be pushed through, when people are out on the streets shouting about it.At least not withut a massive media campaign to either push the topic or completely silence the story.
