[Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt from today's TDV dispatch to subscribers by TDV Editor-in-Chief, Jeff Berwick]

The Internet is more dangerous than ever before… and not because of “child porn” or Craigslist personal ads… it is because of governments.  Within that sinister cabal of governments known as the United Nations, control-crazy members like China, Russia and the Arab countries, are trying to seize control of the free flow of information. As reported in the Wall Street Journal:  

Reports have been swirling around about the death of another business at the hands of a US government agency.  While those reports weren't totally true, as usual, the US Government has squashed any attempt by unfree US citizens to do what they want.  Intrade is still alive and kicking (although it probably wouldn't be if it was based in the US), minus its US customers...for now anyway.  As of December 23, 2012, all US accounts with Intrade will be suspended thanks to the meddling of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The demons in Hell apparently understand the value in keeping one's word more than anti-capitalist hippies and regulation-craving statists do.

First a confession: I've become slightly addicted to the series "Supernatural". I haven't owned a television in over ten years. But once or twice a year I will discover a series that I actually like and watch the entire thing online over the course of days or weeks.

Happy US Thanksgiving, TDVers! Time to give thanks for the continuing loss of liberty in the devolving police state known as the USSA! Now, dig into that genetically modified, hidden tax inflated turkey before heading out on Black Friday to fight other sheeple for big ticket items that will not make you any happier or freer, in order to celebrate the slaughter of a nation's indigenous peoples! 

Sober yourself up from that with some feedback...

Dear TDV,
