I'll kick it off with an interesting map from privacyinternational.org which has identified which countries provide privacy protection and which countries are guilty of extensive surveillance on their own citizens in breach of their human rights. The findings are a little surprising...turns out the worst offenders are China, Russia, Malaysia, GREAT BRITAIN and the USA.

What happens in the grey countries? to make even more scorn of the map Argentina which is at best a fascist regime most of the time is rated twice as good as the UK.

"What’s been happening in Iran recently is NOT demonstrations but RIOTS and riots are dealt with severely (as they should) all over the world, including Greece (2008) and in the US as in the “LA riots”, because destroying other people’s property is nothing but vandalism and has nothing to do with “democracy”!"

Funny how selective you are. But it's okay by you for Palestinians to riot violently in Israel, eh, and unacceptable for Israelis to react.
