China censors Sony hack news

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Beijing (CNN) -- Censorship is a part of daily life in China. News articles are erased from online search engines, social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are banned, and CNN is routinely blacked out for Chinese viewers.

Instagram was a huge hit in China -- until the government banned it during the Hong Kong protests.

"All good things must end," one young Chinese woman told me -- seemingly resigned to the fact that she can no longer post photos on Instagram.

While such restrictions would likely incite mass outrage in many Western countries, citizens in China often have no choice but to relinquish some personal freedom as the government keeps a firm grip on certain aspects of life in this booming society.

China's Communist Party will do whatever it takes to stay in power. Censorship is just one tool -- along with quickly quelling civil disobedience.

Of course, China feels like a utopia of liberty when compared with the repressive North Korean regime. I distinctly remember feeling a sense of freedom and relief when landing in Beijing after a recent visit to Pyongyang.

In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the average citizen has never heard of the Internet or social media. Contact with the outside world is forbidden for all but the most elite members of this reclusive society. Propaganda rules the television airwaves and fills the pages of state-run newspapers.

Facebook report reveals extent of global online censorship

Posted: at 3:42 pm

Facebook has published a report detailing the extent of censorship in countries across the world, as well as the number of data requests.

The social network's Government Requests Report reveals the number of times content was blocked per country and the reason why, in its 'mission for transparency'.

Turkey - which recently blocked Twitter and YouTube due to a leaked government audio recording - also blocked 2,014 pieces of data defamation or criticism of Ataturk or the Turkish state.

Further down the blocking rankings, Pakistan is third with 162 restrictions, and Ireland requested 113 blocks.

The numbers for data requests paint a different picture, with 12,598 between July and December in the US alone.

5,814 search warrants, 5,379 for subpoenas, 486 emergency disclosures and 919 miscellaneous requests put the US at the top of the data request chart, while the UK made 1,906 requests.

dec 20, 2014 Russia Sanctions and Shifting Cuba Policy - McAdams and Taylor's Week in Review President Obama has admitted that sanctions do not work, as he announced a major US policy shift toward Cuba. But he turned around and immediately signed a bill authorizing more sanctions on Russia. There is a big disconnect between rhetoric and actions in the US Administration. The sanctions bill is a huge boost for the US military industrial complex, a $350 million Christmas gift for the Beltway death dealers.

Now an estimate from theFinancial Timesand independent researchers put the cost of the war at roughly $1 trillion with a commitment of hundreds of billions more in the coming years.

dec 14, 2014 Meaning of Torture Report: Simply a Catharsis? - Daniel McAdams and Jay Taylor What is the final meaning of the Senate's recent release of its report on CIA torture activities? We know that no one will be prosecuted, as they have already been given immunity by the president. We have no reason to believe the out-of-control CIA will have its wings clipped after release of the report. Just as the NSA did not cease, but rather increased, its spying on the rest of us after the Snowden revelations. read on...

VII. The Eucharist Pledge of the Glory to Come

1402 In an ancient prayer the Church acclaims the mystery of the Eucharist: O sacred banquet in which Christ is received as food, the memory of his Passion is renewed, the soul is filled with grace and a pledge of the life to come is given to us. If the Eucharist is the memorial of the Passover of the Lord Jesus, if by our communion at the altar we are filled with every heavenly blessing and grace,[1]then the Eucharist is also an anticipation of the heavenly glory.

1403 At the Last Supper the Lord himself directed his disciples attention toward the fulfillment of the Passover in the kingdom of God: I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Fathers kingdom.[2]Whenever the Church celebrates the Eucharist she remembers this promise and turns her gaze to him who is to come. In her prayer she calls for his coming:Marana tha!Come, Lord Jesus![3]May your grace come and this world pass away![4]

1404 The Church knows that the Lord comes even now in his Eucharist and that he is there in our midst. However, his presence is veiled. Therefore we celebrate the Eucharist awaiting the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ,[5]asking to share in your glory when every tear will be wiped away. On that day we shall see you, our God, as you are. We shall become like you and praise you for ever through Christ our Lord.[6]

1405 There is no surer pledge or clearer sign of this great hope in the new heavens and new earth in which righteousness dwells,[7]than the Eucharist. Every time this mystery is celebrated, the work of our redemption is carried on and we break the one bread that provides the medicine of immortality, the antidote for death, and the food that makes us live for ever in Jesus Christ.[8]
