Kim  Dot Com  like Julian Assange represent the new beed of cyberspace geniuses . They are so   so far ahead of every one and everything that they  a threat to fly blown, plodding,fusty, politicians and their  archaic systems of contol   and thuggery,that it makes this sheeple  want to weeple.Kim and Julien represent  true freedom, and democracy, but they are being treated like criminals, it is a modern day witch hunt only that the hunters are the witches.  .

What RT viewers, and RT writers need to understand in this issue, is that New Zealand is more insidiously corrupt than countries like China or Russia - as it is an ingrained insidious Social Corruption. A friend of mine from East Germany says it is the worst 'social control' here now than there under Communism.
If you 'rock the boat' or blow whistles like me - you are in for a very rough ride. Most people leave.
Now Kim Dot Kom. He paid $10 million for Residency to Politicians - and the country did a deal with him. He was held up publically as the kind of person which this country needs, bringing business and development - which is sorely needed. Everything was going well - till he tried to sell Americans music - from their own artists -directly.
Howeve r - the FBI provided fake data to obtain his warrant, which has now been disproven in court, and there is no way that he can be extradited to the USA under present treaty stiplations. No crime has occurred in the USA, and no servers were located there, nor were any of the Accused!
There is no case to answer in the USA - but there is now, because corrupt Kiwi Politicians have been exposed.
Russia Today would be well advised to talk to NZ legal experts, because American Law is not applicable in NZ - nor is it tolerated! There is no legal case anymore in NZ, after the presentation of faked evidence.
My advice is simple. Americans go home now, before you do like in Afghanistan.

The issue is that when governments really don't care about public opinion is that they force the general public to use force of some kind.

People aren't having a revolution at the moment because it's daunting.

I think as people get more and more angry about this rubbish, people will start getting rounded up and shot. Starting with governments.

@MikeNZ

I dearly hope so. Unfortunately, Kiwi politicians are almost all dirty. Don't they open Parliament with an orgy of wallowing in sulphur mud & ill gotten cash? Its the Kiwi way! It gets dirtier with Nouveau Riche Maori… Even ignoring Urban Maori with no tribal claims, the ones that have documented ties, but are not “connected” get nothing while the elites in the tribes walk away with tens of millions each.

He has all the dirt on the politicians - he funded John Banks mayoral campaign to the tune of millions, and John Key is in it up to his neck.
Kim will bring down the NZ government before the end of the year by blowing the whistle on dirty politicians - like our Prime Minister.
Any government which gives in to the Americans will start a nasty internal war.

It has ben brutally obvious to anyone in the indie media that the MSM has been trying to shut down all alternative online distribution channels for half a decade now. They have been trying to shut down bit torrent for this exact reason, and in the past week have had some success in the UK.

Kim needs to come back fighting. Unfortunately, I and many other independent content creators have been unable to contact Kim to create a new independent distribution system because Kim refuses to let anyone with his contact details give them out to indies.
