Swedish parliament under siege

Politikerbloggen quotes a police officer at the Swedish parliament saying that there is roughly 2000 people gathered to protest Lex Orwell. Its headline news all over at the moment, and I so wish I could have been there!

I would stay up and follow this as it develops, but there are other issues i must attend [...]

Back to the drawingboard

157 yes. At least a third of the 349 MP’s had to vote yes to accomplish this, so the result is far from surprising. Problem is now they will add more topping to this turd and try to make us swallow it when we’re not looking. Fact of the matter is you can’t make this [...]

Endgame

I got in to this a bit late and really wish I could have been there both this morning and tomorrow. But my schedule prohibits trips to the capitol, so the live web feed will have to do. The Centre Party showed that they could play the game as well as anyone else. All 29 [...]

Starting of a bit shaky, he got warmed up towards the end touching upon virtiually all problems with the law. Dressed in white he brought out every gun he could and actually recieved a snide comment [...]

EFF makes me laugh.

I found this article from EFF. I covers much of what I’ve already posted here. But the last line just made me laugh.

“If the Lex Orwell passes, Sweden may not need something so sophisticated as a supercomputer to hear what the rest of the world thinks about their new values.”

The supercomputer in question was the [...]

Final Debate

Final debate of the bill is today. MP’s who opt to read the news today will be greeted by a dizzying amount of articles concerning the FRA-bill. A week ago there where zero. Non of the old-media outlets, had written a single proper article. There where a few editorials, but neither created any public interest. [...]

Political Careers end on Wednesday

And alot of them. The Swedish parliament well be voting on a wiretapping bill built on the same cozy ideals laid forth by countries like Saudi Arabia and China. All communications touching any of 20 specific points of the swedish infrastructure will be monitored and searched for any of about 250,000 search criteria, including random [...]
