In every country on the planet there are elements within and outside the halls of power that work to subvert the government and inflict damage on the population for a self-serving cause.
In countries like Libya, Muammar Gaddafi perpetrated untold horrors on his fellow countrymen to maintain his hold on power that eventually led to his overthrow and death at the hands of the people who could tolerate no more death and destruction from a despotic leader. The election of Barack Obama has exposed a class of Americans who are as evil as Gaddafi and now that their veil of secrecy has been lifted, they have overtly stated their goal to destroy America and its citizens at any cost. In the letter to members, several resolutions accuse President Obama of seizing dictatorial power to bypass Congress with the help of Senate Democrats, Hollywood, Leftists, Progressive Socialists, and the liberal media.

Frame and front wheel secured A bicycle lock is a security device used to deter bicycle theft, generally by fastening the bicycle to a fixed object, e.g., a bike rack.
An inherent challenge to bicycle theft prevention is the detatchability of the wheels from the frame. Unless both wheels and frame are secured, wheels can be removed separately. An optimal locking method will secure the frame as well as both wheels — either to a fixed object or to each other. Locking devices vary in size and security; the most secure tending to be the largest, heaviest and least portable.

Anonymous Attacks Child Porn Websites and Publish User Names. This past week it was reported that the hacktivist collective known as Anonymous claimed credit for taking offline over 40 websites used for sharing pedophilia - and for exposing the names and identifying information of more than 1500 alleged pedophiles that had been using the sites.
News of the Anonymous campaign to actively target anyone hosting child porn sites comes from statements associated with Anonymous on Pastebin and two Anonymous YouTube video channels. AnonNews has yet to issue a press release. It's within Anon's character to go after targets that provoke the collective's ire. Yet in this instance the group is highlighting a moral sense of outrage and horror most people will relate to - the evil crime of child sexual abuse - while revealing an internet underworld that many will be terrified to learn about for the first time.

When IT consultant, author and developer Isseki Nagae titled an October 11, 2011, post on his blog “Why Japanese manufacturers keep losing to Apple, in the words of Steve Jobs” [jp], he probably knew he would draw some flak for it. Many of those who came to the post through Hatena, where it was bookmarked over two thousand times, no doubt expected to find some insights from the former Apple CEO on what is wrong with the Japanese electronics industry.
With the iPhone finally making major inroads into the local mobile phone market, and Samsung stealing the spotlight from Japan's legendary gadget-makers, these insights are much in demand. The post, though, wasn't exactly what its title seemed to imply. Instead of the words of Steve Jobs on the topic, the post was an opinion piece by Nagae, supported in part by things Steve Jobs had said in other contexts.

But these days, with many studios getting sued left and right for allegedly ripping off ideas from writers, executives have become a lot more careful about unsolicited submissions.
Now comes the amazing tale of James Erwin, a largely unknown author who successfully got Warner Bros. to buy movie rights to his story about what would happen if U.S. Marines traveled back in time to fight the Roman Empire. Erwin accomplished this by posting a series of stories entitled "Rome, Sweet Rome" on Reddit.com, an online community that allows users to post links and have discussions with each other. Warner Bros. aggressively snapped up rights to this story upon seeing it, but does the studio really hold exclusive rights to adapt a film adaptation?

Megacorporation. Real-life examples[edit] Although the term itself arose out of science fiction, certain real-life corporations, such as colonial-era chartered companies and zaibatsu, have achieved or approached megacorporation status in various ways.
