This morning I purchased the print version of the Wall Street Journal and it had a detailed article about the Chinese Communist Party and Government use of social services and surveillance to control social malcontent under headline, "China Keeps Tabs on Troubled People". It is one the front page, right corner and continues for full coverage on page A10.
I couldn't find the article on line until I finally uncovered a changed headline for the same article..."China Ups Surveillance of Troubled People to Quell Rising Unrest". I am not sure of the cause of the headline change, but it does make me suspicious. The authors are Chun Han Wong and Shen Lu, who I am sure put their lives in jeopardy to report this and it is worthy of a front page spread on the week when China is promoting itself as a partner with Turkey, India, North Korea, Iran and Russia. The article is a must read. Despite trying to soften the edges, it details the depths of the manipulation, brain washing and surveillance that is being used to repress the population and reassert Mao's political agenda and police state.

Not long ago software and free speech advocates combated the music industry to listen to DVDs and digitalize music. The industry struck back with their endless lobbying and the passage of the DMCA. At the head of the class was the company that evolved into UMG, which was originally owned by the Seagram group, the boys who made their fortune selling illegal Canadian Whisky during prohibition.
Today, the artists like Rick Beato, who has a huge youtube following explaining early pop-music like the Beatles and Steely Dan. But they have been hounded by copyright pirates like UMG and now are pushing Beato off the air. See the rebellion gaining tracking as Beato has now gone on the offensive -
