What is really happening

For a long time the US, Canada and others have been alarmed regarding their inability to
regulate the internet. People sell through ebay, amazon and others and pay no taxes, people
purchase electronics through the internet and pay no taxes, people can now order almost any
perscription drug through the internet at rock bottom prices and pay no taxes, people gamble
on overseas i-gaming sites and pay no taxes. This whole thing is like a giant flea market and
the government has lost control of their tax base. They are beginning to get very nervous. No
taxes, no revenues, no power.

This is the first phase of a government shakedown. At this time the government lacks the
technology to police the internet. I-gaming is a good place to start this shake down because it
has support from the right. It is only a matter of time before they get to the ebays, amazon's
and others. What they really want is a piece of the action and it is all about money and taxes.
The porn issue is a good smoke screen and if they do not find anything they will probably plant
something. When everyone realizes there is no money trail the real truth will come out.

Payoffs to governments = Taxes
