Last week, UK prime minister David Cameron announced that adult sites would be automatically blocked in order to protect “children and their innocence”. After some digging however (this policy, which was strategically timed to be announced right when the Royal Baby was born) is far from being only about “protecting children”. As usual, a catchphrase that nobody can’t disagree with was used to hide the ugly truth: UK’s policy will, by default, filter out and censor a LOT of material that is deemed undesirable.
After discussing with several UK ISPs, Digital advocacy organization Open Rights Group discovered that the UK web filter will ban by default a wide range of websites including:
– violent material
– extremist and terrorist related content
– anorexia and eating disorder websites
– suicide related websites
More importantly, the filter will also censor websites that mention alcohol or smoking, “web forums” and “esoteric material”. These last categories are the most worrying as their vague nature opens the door to all kinds of censorship. What exactly is “esoteric material”? Are “alternative news” and “conspiracy-related” sites included? Is mentioning the occult elite on a blog warrants a ban from the UK? The censorship possibilities are endless.
In order to unblock these sites, customers must contact their ISPs and ask to be unblocked. According to Open Rights Group, most people will not bother or even known about any of this.
“Making the filters default means most people will keep them, according to Open Rights Group Executive Director Jim Killock. “We know that people stick with defaults: this is part of the idea behind ‘nudge theory’ and ‘choice architecture’ that is popular with Cameron.”
According to the BBC, the Chinese firm Huawei controls the net filter praised by Cameron. This very company is accused of having close ties with the Chinese government, which maintains one of the most restrictive internet firewalls in the world. While we are led to think that the Western world wants to teach China about “freedom”, China is rather at the forefront of what the Western world is trying to accomplish.
According to Cameron, the new parental control settings will be turned on for all new broadband subscribers “by the end of the year.” In other words, people in the UK, there isn’t a lot of time left to get your voices heard. While it might be possible for a “computer whiz” to hack himself around this super-mega-Chinese-monster filter – it is the principle behind it that’s important. Also, this policy mostly aims the people that won’t do a thing about it: The clueless, apathetic, ignorant masses that won’t even realize that a lot of the internet was filtered out “for their own good”. 1984.

Incrementalism is the evil genius behind tyrannical aspirations. Do everything little by little by little so people won't notice or care enough to do anything to resist. Obviously the real goal with this announcement is to stop dissidents who understand the occult nature of western elites from communicating with eachother. Spying on them obviously isn't enough because police still can't arrest people for knowing bits of truth about the nature of evil.
They care so much about the children that they covered up the crimes of Jimmy Saville, politicians and celebs that were involved in child abuse and paedophilia in the UK.
Hello everyone,
I live in the UK and jut read this article. Funnily enough I can't access VC from my phone using 3G on EE ie T-mobile and orange any longer. I can still access it from my broadband and from work.
I live in the UK and I couldn't access VC through my phone for a while. I called up Vodafone and they had supposedly blocked it along with p**n sites and the like. I had to get it unblocked to view it again!!
We're living in a dark world where our children can see all sorts of hypnotizing nonsense on the TV from the elite but can't read the other side of the story and truly see the truth.
It's sad. It really is.
HALF OF THE BILLS AND LAWS THEY PASS TODAY ARE BULLSHIT. AND WE DONT HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM. OFCOURSE WE FACE THE CHANCE OF LOOSING OUR JOBS OR MONEY. BUT WE NEED TO GET SOME COURAGE
I am surprised that so many people are 'Surprised' by this proposal. It was only a matter of time. This is the beggining of the 'Fahrenheit 451' era – it appears.
It will be interesting to see if this does unfold, as it may just be the push that (as other people have mentioned) we need to start getting out there and talking to people face to face. The internet has become a great way for 'Them' to track, record and keep up to date with what the people are unfolding. Without this information 'They' may be shooting themselves in the head!! How would they keep up with what the people are talking, thinking and reading about now.
I also do live in the UK. And now I think I have to share something I found out trough personal experimentation, that blocked sites can be reached trough mobiles 3g. So here's the recipie: start up your mobile, make personal hotspot, connect your PC, off you go everything what is originally blocked can be reached.
i don't think it's that easy… hope your right though!
They may have in mind to keep Alternative News and alternative ideas from filtering out all over the web like they have done. They are trying to prevent a "Critical Mass" from attaining too much truth. Having an Open Society, including an Open and Uncensored Internet is A-OK as long as only a few are involved. But they see that the numbers are growing and we will be arriving soon at "critical mass". Then they got problems.
DId you know VC your site is actually banned in secondary schools in the United Kingdom now. As a cover teacher the last schools I have worked in London I cannot access your site, but the kids ask about it anyway, other cover teachers I know have tried the same. The way the internet works though people will just get round it with fake ISP's and all sorts, plus the next generation coming up are smarter then people realise. Cameron and any authority will never stop it, and the idea of freedom of speech is being blurred.
World War III is in apple autocorrect systems….why?
THESE SICK BASTARDS DONT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT CHILDREN. THE SACRAFICE THEM THEY EAT THEM THEY MOLEST THEM . THEY DONT WANT THE MASSES TO KNOW THIS TRUTH. THE SATANIC AGENDA IS EVERYWHERE NOW. READ READ READ ALL YOU CAN AND PROTECT YOUR HOUSEHOLD. TIME TO GIVE UP TV !
This is not for children they are hiding behind that excuse this is to get rid of the blogs and websites that are exposing these sick bastards. If they do it in Europe they will be doing it here soon after. I am so glad I have been reading up on the sick bastard ellites I have all I need to know to go into the last days to protect my children.
Britain Needs to get a Backbone
Spinelessness Leads to Slavery
An Absolute Cheek
People Need to be Absolutely Outraged about This
The Con Dems Really are Destructive
DId you know that Jeff Bezos who owns Amazon is also on one of the Bilderberg Group committees??? Yeah, he is. The put out the list of who goes and what committee their on and Bezos, Charlie Rose and some other big names were invited to Bilderberg 2013.
Bezos just bought the Washington Post (WaPo) for "personal" use. He used his personal money, in cash I might add to pay $250 for the WaPo! WOW!! Now what??? He didn't use any of Amazon's money for the purchase. Talk about control . . .
Bezos is a Jewish surname. hmmm another coincidence I guess.
"Esoteric" means that knowledge, or those teachings, that have remained hidden because to make them known would be to encourage the murder of those who hold the knowledge. "Esoteric" is normally translated as "inner circle" (knowledge/teachings), but it really means "inner things" / knowledge (knowing) . . . from intuition, that is, inward-seeking.
There's a petition below which specifically addresses the "esoteric material" filter:
http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/uk-prime-mi…
I'm really concerned about this, even though I'm not in the UK, if this goes ahead it will definitely set a precedent for other countries to follow. I would encourage people in the UK to get behind movements working against this censorship. Perhaps there are politicians who are against it?
Another very troubling thing is that this is barely even being reported, with all emphasis currently on p**n and "keeping kids safe".
This is unacceptable. It is not clear who decided that 'esoteric material' ought to be included in the filter, on what grounds (other than to block 'universally acknowledged sects', but again based on whose acknowledgment?) or who is going to decide which websites go on the blacklist.
If you want to get your voice heard and do something about this there are a few petitions which you can sign. It seems like a small thing to do but the voices of many people will create a strong opposition.
People who live in the UK could also contact their local MPs to discuss this.

Funny that this should happen a year on from this article in the Economist.
Picture says it all.

There's a petition going around to fight this issue, I encourage everyone to sign it: http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/uk-prime-mi…
The road to hell is paved by safety and convenience. It will happen soon in the U.S.
One good thing about america, no born and raised american would ever let this type of censorship take place after the history of the past century. all the wars against communist countries… communism is satans brother in american philosophy. but this is honestly rally sad and scary.
Step by Step…and Day by Day
they will find ways to controll
how you be have try to reach our brains
then we will ask for change
through heavy rains…
but
we have been silent for too long
now its too f****n late
welcome to the NWO Police State…
and yeah F**k Cameron
our last hope is a super saiyan……..
GOKUU B***H !!!!!!!!
esoteric material is to do with spiritual religions such as astrology, mystasism etc… I think. Love how they asked the public for their opinion…
The effect of this policy is, it's going to stigmatize esoterica and esotericists. And I just thought that Europe has put the Dark Ages thoroughly behind it.
I live in Britain and I'm angry. I spotted this the day of all the royal baby hubbub and I was pretty annoyed that no one else seemed to notice. It makes me so angry, but I don't know what to do. Sign a petition that won't be looked at? We people need help, but where is the voice of the people? The loud and rational voice. Because all I need is someone inspirational and clear speaking to lead a revolution and I will follow. I'd do it but I'd end up gibbering. I'll happily lend my support in person though. We need a mass communication network so that people hear about it, because the reason the marches and protests are always so small is not because people don't care, it's because people don't even hear about it.
What to do, what to do…
@Justme. I live in Britain too and I was so angry when I read this article , how dare he dictate what we can and cannot view on the internet, it outrages and frustrates me to think that I may not have access to this site and many others that I read and depend upon for real news and the truth about what is happeneing around us. I'm with you Justme. if you get a group together count me in, we need to stand up for our rights!
I'm from the UK aswell and I'm absolutely disgusted about this, this has got nothing to do with banning p**n, which they are only using to made it appear morally justifiable, but about controlling and censoring the internet. More people are waking up and they want to prevent this, hence they are getting desperate in their actions, they would rather we focus on rubbish like the x factor rather than whats really happening in the world. But tbe more people who stand up and protest against this anit-democratic legislation, the harder it will be for them to implement and hopefully it will go the same way as the Poll Tax!
@Justme If you are so passionate about a cause then I believe you should fight for it rather than sit around waiting for a messiah to come and lead you. I think that the wrong idea. If you want something done right you've got to do it yourself. That is my humble opinion anyway.
ITS GOING TO TAKE JEHOVAH GOD TO BRING THESE BASTARDS DOWN !
Tough times tend to bring out the best music in the UK. Perhaps we're going to witness a resurrection of the punk movement.
Complete Control = The Clash š
U can unblock this by contacting your ISP? Y'all know what this means. This is another way of making it more easy for the government to "filter" us, the "truthseekers" and "conspiracy nuts". Everyone who has acces to these sites are from then on listed as extremists and possible terrorists. They'll be watching us constantly! 1984
I want VC to do an article on Hurricane Katrina. I was watching this show calked conspiracy theories and it talked about how Hurricane Katrina was like a test to depopulate the gulf coast area so the big oil companies could drill without any problems & seeing as that Im from New Orleans I would really like VC opinion on this.
Allthough this sounds crazy, it's not farfetched. There's a possibillity that theory might be true. Technology is capable of creating such events. Maybe US government in co-operations with weather manipulation facillities like HAARP where indeed interested in this and they are behind it. I mean, in their opinion, the oil and gas would offcourse be a lot more valueable than houses and human lifes.
They don't need that many people – they have robots for everything now
Given that we have a statue of the founder of the KKK in DC, and none of the elite bloodlines are brown, let it be known that those of brown skin are considered complete beasts. Helena Blavatsky and her root races are something to consider – they are still ushering in Root race 6 and 7 and they are not brown.
Weather wars are multilayered, multipurposed. It was mostly meant to kick out the undesirables and redo the place for elites – better condos, lighter population. But the FEMA run and the tolerance level of humanity was also a great simultaneous experiment. And you also have to figure in the real energy vampires that get the most out of immense emotional outpourings like Katrinas result – the beings that the elites worship. The Ascended Masters, Lucifer, the Christian God, Satan – all the antimatter, disembodied spirits that hate humanity.
How real is this HAARP thing really? Because to me it sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a creation taken from the manuscripts of Nikola Tesla.
HAARP thing can do a lot. However it is not capable to manipulate weather. The electrical power of it is much smaller than that of one single thunderstorm.
Good luck explaining this to other readers.
THEY NEED SLAVES, SO WHY DEPOPULATE? PLEASE….
New Orleans is a port city and a majority of the people who live there are fisherman and the like in other words self-sufficient. One slaves can't be self-sufficient they would need to soley rely on the master. Two by depopulating the city the elite would no longer have to worry about the effects their drilling will have on the environment and the people -my city is known for its seafood and its unique culture. Three yes the elite needs slaves but given their plan they wouldn't need that many people to keep their pockets full & ever heard the saying " strength in numbers" the least people who have the least likely change the people can rise up against you.
Get everyone reliant on the elites. People used to be able to write SO MUCH STUFF off for taxes – all of those write offs were kept for corporations and the "free" man was left with little to nothing to write off, collecting less and less tax back from the government each year. Started in the Reagan era. Thanks for that point, Zeus. Forgot momentarily about the attack on self sufficiency.
Well, I think VC needs to come up with something ASAP so we can stay in touch because it's not gonna take so long before they can actually shut places like this down. I hope we readers can also come up with some ideas to keep posted on these very serious issues. Just my five cents š
Is this how desperate they are getting?
There mask is slipping and they are panicking, we are the powerful ones, they are weak as they rely on us.
I think this way: for each action, there is a reaction. For me it's a clear display of despair from the "elite" govt. It's a sign of damage control. But there is no way out for them. Call me a romantic optimistic or whatever, but truth is here, truth is arrived, people are awakening, it's irreversible. Internet can't and won't be controled. Game over. The autoritarian card is the last one, but they'll not prevail.
Some metaphysical types say the lower astral forces have been at full blast this last Mercury retrograde, but regrouping is going on and the fight for our spiritual sovereignty continues. More of us need to get people off of fluoride and GMOS – alcohol is PACKED with GMOS! All those beer drinking rebels are swilling GMOS. Its hard enough to keep it out of food, and now its it things regular ol Joes wouldn't even think twice about drinking.
If you drink a pint of beer once in a blue moon it's fine.
If you do anything once in a while its fine. Its about balance. But most drinkers I know are daily 6 packers.
This is the UK at its worst. And it's scary what's going on. I don't think it'll work what with proxy sties, VPNs and things like the torch browser, but just the idea that it was brought up is very unsettling. Let's hope it goes away on its own.
I don't think so, at least not anymore… I was wondering how they were going to implement this new scheme when yesterday 3 builders started doing some work on a roof pretty much opposite ours (making a hole then filling it back in) having not remembered the state of their roof I thought that maybe they were just filling it in but this morning there's one builder on the roof next to it and this time, I'm sure that hole wasn't there yesterday… Something weird is going on :/
I suspect that it is something to do with the agenda being rolled out too quickly. They have been told to slow it down as too many people are awakening spiritually. Cameron is a direct descendant of Moses (google it) and his wife is an Astor (IntGen S) and descends from the highest ranks of the Knights Templar. They know exactly what is at stake here. Expect a lot more of this but NEVER contact your ISP for an exception as you could end up on more 'lists' than you bargained for.
There are some esoteric sites which should be banned which act as Occult How-To guides and we all know the strong links between Magick ritual and P**n – lets just hope that they are identified as the dangerous ones.
so Amaryllis, tell me what do us in the UK do IF we get cut off from the likes of VC and other so called "conspiracy " sites apart from contact our ISP's?? put our heads in a bucket of sand and play with our nice toys? no really, please give me suggestions as right now i'm so angry at the thought of being cut off from here and other sites like this one. ps. as for Moses, come on , he was in a book, its not real. I'm not trying to be rude I promise, you seem really clued up, more than me, any advice really welcomed, cheers.
The battle is being fought on other planes, as it were. The elites like to believe that they are not slaves, but they are slaves just as we are – spiritually dead, living empty lives, playing with pretty things and not having to drive themselves places. They have to pay their energy to whatever alternate dimension beings are participating in this enslavement of humanity, and that is a battle we can participate in but not see directly. AWARENESS IS KEY. That may be where our "war" can start….and end.
amaryllis Please refrain from insulting Moses. I very much doubt it Moses is associated with this scumbag, Cameron. And even if he is, it's irrelevant. Cain and Abel were reltaed too.
Never meant to offend – was researched and claimed by a Jewish scholar
On the one had you defend Moses and on the other you judge Cameron as a scumbag. Do you not see the hypocrisy?
Ted, go to bed, you are drunk.
I believe the phrase you're looking for is:
"Go home Ted. You're drunk!"
Yeah, lol, but you get the point.
luckily I moved from UK Manchester to Johannesburg just this year. VC will continue to be my home page!
T.I.A – this is and always will be a jungle! This place is not for the faint hearted. White or Black you are not safe… 100 years ago it was wild animals… today its poeple! Be aware of what's around you. I have lived here my entire life and this place is messed up. Goverment abusing its power bribing and leying everyday! Buying there votes with a T-Shirt and "pap and wors" using apartheid as a weapon to rally support. Don't be blind and you will see what this place is about really… Yet I will never move away š cause Africa is in my blood!
Seriously? I've lived in South Africa my entire life. I've been beaten, pistolwhipped, robbed and raped, lost friends to violence. I can't believe someone would willingly move here. Meanwhile I'm trying to get the hell out.. I know the UK is off my list now though.
Interesting that you find it a sort of improvement. In the Netherlands there is a lot of news about the violence in Johannesburg and the dubious ways of the ''government'' handling it.
I would agree that South Africa is not as bad yet as the UK but as the ANC becomes more paranoid it'll soon follow the authoritarian route e.g. passing of the secrecy and spy bills. What's worse is the millions of sheepish anc loyalists who will keep them empower. Even worse are those that don't care if things don't impact on them directly. They're more worried about who is going to win Idols or Big Brother and all that escapist s**t.
I've just given up and actually wish that the country collapses so people can wake the hell up.
Natuurlijk, t is hier in NL al net zo bar gesteld met media alleen al… Denk bv.aan ''Eyeworks'', van Arnie Rode-Bodywarmer. En de combinatie van amusement/roddel/tv-pulp en politiek. Hier hokt het zelfs openlijk privé met elkaar, hA!
Rather funny how the english-defaults on preventing rude language, correct a completely innocent dutch word. I shall take that as a sign to continue in english ..
Talk about controlling what you surf on the internet in the UK
I do wonder how you manage to be so informed but as you get information you give us the privilege of knowing too so God bless you greatly for that VC! I live in the UK, London in fact and I am so glad I came across this article as I check VC regularly.. I certainly won't be complacent in doing the necessary tasks to keep me liberated in knowing the truth. Well Done Sir
Wow. They openly announce this, and no one cries a peep. Well all the laws have pretty much been passed in the U.S. already. It is just a matter of time before the White House implements it…. Sad, but the only the people that use this stuff will notice the difference. Plus, in order to opt out of the ban, you have to give you're information, which automatically violates privacy and anonymity (or what ever is left) on the internet. Well peopel, you need to start downloading and storing any information that is still left on the internet. Because soon they're won't be any information left on the internet to prove that a conspiracy even existed. It's already become harder and harder to find commonplace vids on you tube. Print material and local storage is the only real safety net.
The eradication of print material was a large part of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. COINCIDENCE? Put it on the pile.
Now now, they will filter deep web as well? That's the question
What is the deep web ? I never heard of this.
sometimes i get totally discouraged cuz i know that people dont want to hear the truth…the truth is so uncomfortable yet so exhilarating, but lies are so comfortable and ur surrounded by MOST people agree w/ them…idk….i try to talk to others and leave it up to God
meant get knocked up in high school, whoops
Cameron also said that his children will be allowed to access Facebook but he will be snooping on them – He is a tiny bit obsessed with this issue, it seems.
Everything you need to know has already been published online so even if access were denied, you just have to find ways of remembering it and passing on the knowledge. It is a sure thing that once this agenda gets rolled out in HM (Her masonic) UK, it is only a matter of time before it reaches the US. Unlike political/economic power, when Britain has a cold, the rest of the masonic world sneezes
Cameron is a puppet, an errand boy. He's pathetic. They're all scumbags, a royal mafia. They think we're cattle, that they can get away with it.
It's a shame that people are just interested about the name of the "royal" baby. Disgusting and pathetic. It makes me sick.
There's more political and economic power wielded by the UK than most people realise, especially the City of London, the Square Mile, the beating heart of the global financial machine. Also the least transparent, unaccountable aspect of UK public life, even more so than the Family Windsor. Where did the QE fix to the global financial crusis originate? The model which every country in the developed world copied? The British Empire never went away, it just stepped back into the shadows and cloaked itself in jargon…
It's troubling that people in the UK are tech naive enough to think they can blunder across all kinds of 'objectionable' material just through a google search and will thus gladly surrender their freedoms on the basis of an idiot's populist posturings. Perhaps if they stopped reading the Daily Mail long enough to actually calm down and think rationally they'd realise they're being 'groomed' en masse…
VC and anyone else with website owner experience will know that in order to make content visible to google you have to submit it and have it actively linked to by other listed sites. These proposed filters will not protect a single child. I suspect however that they may well harm a few.
Could you please repeat that in caps ?! Maybe more people will get the discrepancy in the lawmaker's argumentation!
It's hypocrisy – they do let disturbing pop stars videos to be played on telly but apparently Cameron has bigger problem with the Internet! Hallelujah! Let's be honest – how is p**n different from this behaviour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrUvu1mlWco ? Just watched new Miley Cyrus video and lost my appetite…
Good comment
People, I think if its made a BIG issue and the word is spread and enoygh ppl protest it might jelp stop it. You see they want to pass it without ppl knowing!!! We can't let them do that! š it's our job to sound the alarm!!!! Not lay down and die!!!
Time to go back to the good old days – before the internet – of talking to people face to face and posting flyers educating people.
I hope you people have been saving all those good YouTube videos to hard drive/USB stick/DVD, and all those good articles like that VC has posted and other informative sites too.
The truth will out.
Wise words. Just look how many sites on youtube are difficult to watch.(error messages) You don't get these message for most music videos etc.but often for alternative news about UFO's and things we are not supposed to know. Let's get printing before printer ink becomes banned along with any thinking they do not like – The inquisition is about to strike again.
This is the real George Orwell 1984.
The governments want control and aim to use a tool we would all agree with, stopping child p**n but link it with what they really want to ban. Illegal sites are already banned so why have new bans if it's not to stop alternative thinking.
Now lets get back to the gullible garbage on TV designed to brain wash us all!!!
Has anyone heard of UN Agenda 21 ? Its also a big part of the Illuminati plans.
More and more people around me, off-line , are aware of Agenda 21.
