NTDTV: Chinese Regime Blocks Personal Website Domain Registrations
The state-run organization that oversees Chinas Internet domain registration has recently announced some new rules—rules that many fear will further restrict online activities.
Under the regulations put in place by the China Internet Network Information Center, only those with a business license can register for a dot-CN domain—which is used to identify China-based websites. This means private citizens are effectively barred from owning a personal website domain.
Chinas Ministry of Industry and Information has also announced five measures to manage domain names. These include tightening the registration procedure for those wanting a dot-CN domain, and restricting access to foreign websites not registered with the Ministry.
According state-run media Xinhua, the measures are meant to tackle online pornography.
But a professor from the Communication University of China echoed the fears of many Chinese. He told state-run Global Times that the latest measures will increase obstacles for those who want to express themselves online, and ultimately restrict the development of the Internet.
NTDTV’s official YouTube Channel got taken down for some weird reason, so I thought it would be a good time to upload some of their noteworthy videos again and it’s also to remind you guys that you can actually still find ALL their programming on their website: http://english.ntdtv.com – So just cause Google is probably bowing to China again doesn’t mean they are gone – go visit their website, they don’t only have news on human rights in China, but have 24 hour programming with live streaming.

Tea Bag parties are FAKE
[Tea-Bag parties] are not “spontaneous” or “grassroots.” They are another corporate-funded campaign to trick people into supporting more cut taxes for the rich.
The idea is supposed to have started on February 19, when Rick Santelli of CNBC “spontaneously” complained about plans (click link for video) to help people avoid foreclosure, saying this is the government “subsidizing the loser’s mortgages.” Santelli called for organizing a “Chicago tea party” against helping people pay their mortgages. But investigators starting finding clues that the on-air rant was not spontaneous, and signs that the campaign was organized by the right-wing, corporate-funded Freedomworks . According to a March 2 New York Times story,
“Mr. Santelli’s televised commentary appeared spontaneous to viewers. However, the Internet domain name ChicagoTeaParty.com was registered in August 2008 — well before his commentary — but not used until afterwards.”
The events have been widely promoted by corporate-funded conservative PR professionals who specialize in “astroturf.” This is a term for the use of money to create an appearance of widespread “grassroots” support. Currently the corporate-funded conservative lobbying groups Freedomworks and Americans for Prosperity, are organizing the events and conservative media including talk radio and FOX News are widely promoting them. Support appears to be coming from Koch Industries, the largest privately-owned company in the country. According to the Think Progress blog post, Spontaneous Uprising? Corporate Lobbyists Helping To Orchestrate Radical Anti-Obama Tea Party Protests,
“This type of corporate ‘astroturfing’ is nothing new to either organization. While working to promote Social Security privatization, Freedom Works was caught planting one of its operatives as a “single mom” to ask questions to President Bush in a town hall on the subject. Last year, the Wall Street Journal exposed Freedom Works for similarly building “amateur-looking” websites to promote the lobbying interests of Dick Armey …
Americans for Prosperity is run by Tim Phillips, [a] former partner in the lobbying firm Century Strategies. The group is funded by Koch family foundations — a family whose wealth is derived from the oil industry. Indeed Americans for Prosperity has coordinated pro-drilling ‘grassroots’ events around the country.”
The “tea parties” are promoted as a “grassroots uprising” against “high taxes.” Tea stands for “Taxes Enough Already.” However, 95% of Americans will received a tax cut in the next year if the upcoming Obama budget passes. Only Americans with incomes above $250,000 will receive a small tax increase — and even then their taxes will be much lower than almost any time in the last 80 or so years. This increase on the top incomes will help pay for some of the Republican-caused economic damage as well as reduce the budget deficits that the country has faced ever since the same income group received tax cuts after George W. Bush was elected. (This is similar to the tax increase in first Clinton budget that led to the great economy of the 1990s and large budget surpluses.)
The other complaint from tea party organizers is that President Obama is “spending too much.” The increased spending in the stimulus package and upcoming budget funds education, unemployment checks, efforts to ward off foreclosures and other programs designed to help bring us out of the recession and provide jobs. These are programs that benefit regular people instead of big corporations and the rich.
So regular people who go to these corporate-organized tea parties are asking the government to undo their own tax cuts and reduce their own government services in order to keep taxes low for the very rich. I wonder if people have really thought this through?

“Dear Fan Club Members,
It has been a while since I have written to you all. First off, Lisa and I were really touched by all the special messages and gifts you sent to us on our 25th Wedding Anniversary (and respective birthdays!). Thank you.
I want to take this opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings regarding information coming directly from us to you. The only “inside info” or “personal photos” that have been approved by us for publication are those that we send to Margaret Howden, the President of our Fan Club. It’s important to us that you have the most up-to-date information and photographs!
Whenever possible, if we are attending a special event or doing an interview, we try our very best to make sure Margaret gets it ahead of time, so she can pass it on to you. There are some occasions, however, when it is not appropriate for us to do so (eg for security reasons, etc) and we are sure you understand.
In addition, if you have any questions that you would like us to answer, we have set it up with Margaret in the “Questions & Answers” section (of the magazine). Margaret sends your questions on to us and we answer them as soon as we can. We want you to get the correct information directly from us!
Given the above, we have asked Margaret to remove links to other websites. However, don’t let this stop you from exploring, there’s some interesting stuff out there! Of course, I feel ours will be the best, the ultimate!
I hope this helps to clarify things!
Thanks to Margaret for her excellent work. And thanks to you guys, and let’s have fun!
Patrick”
