Great Firewall of China to be Fortified

China will tighten controls on Internet blogs and webcasts in a response to new technologies that have allowed cyber citizens to avoid government censorship efforts, state press reported Tuesday.
Evil bastards always try to find a way to snuff out the embers of freedom, don't they?

Chinese patriots--come here while you still can.*



And remember: DEATH to Jingjing and Chacha!

I saw the firewall over at Ride Fast and Shoot Straight last week. I tried it out and found out the ChiComs were censoring my blog, and most of my favorite blogs for that matter. I posted about it and didn't think much about it. Prior to the post, I got maybe a hit or two a month from the Chicoms. Since my post, I've been getting five to eight hits a day from the Reds - the government censors, I presume.

So I took the liberty to address the ChiCom government regarding religious freedom, etc.

Hey, at least one of those commie censoring expletives will read it.

It says that my http://therealgunguys.blogspot.com is blocked, but I swear that my site meter shows several Chinese hits there every week.

But, David, you obviously don't understand the whole picture. The Chinese have taken all the guns away from there enslaved populace. Which means that if they do ever wake up and revolt. They will be tearing the tyrants to pieces with their bare hands! Ouch! That's gotta hurt!

See, that's the other problem with 'gun control'. It ensures that tyrants will more than likely face a long drawn out, incredibly painful slow death. Which will more than likely involve being torn limb from limb. At least with guns or knives, the tyrants would die a quick death......

Still a mystery to me is why things like censoring Google and monitoring secure-server connections aren't done transparently: that is, invisibly. There must be Chinese network engineers, far more skilled than I, who can figure out how, and who would do so gladly. How do we outside the GFOC know for sure that those relatively-few phenomena we're able to observe going on behind it aren't exactly and only what those running it want us to see ("if strong, appear weak," etc.)?

Despite appearances, do not ever make the mistake of assuming that the people who run the GFOC (or as I regard it, the PGRNSADWRICD [People's Glorious Revolutionary Network Shield Against Deviationism, Western Running-Dog Imperialism and Cultural Decadence]) are technical incompetents. I must presume that their network engineers are at least as technically-savvy and competent as anybody we can field. And even if they aren't, the evidence suggests that the Chicoms can buy such expertise from Western companies (*COUGH*Cisco*COUGH*, *COUGH*Google*COUGH*), especially considering the amount of stolen money they have available to throw at the problem.
