Congress Again Considers Internet Gambling Bill
by Keith Peters, Washington, D.C., correspondentLawmakers are hoping to put restrictions on Internet gambling by attaching their plan to a homeland security bill.
Conservative lawmakers are trying to ban bank transfers to offshore Internet gambling groups by attaching their plan to a bill that fights terrorism. What does Internet gambling have to do with homeland security?

See it as a game. How many sentences can we find in this article which are misleading, outright lies and dishonest manipulations?
I found these:
1. “Organized crime and other shady operators run internet gambling sites from offshore to stay out of reach of U.S. law enforcement.”
2. “”This would prevent those who operate these illegal internet gambling sites from being paid and that’s what they’re after,” “
3. “Attaching the proposal to a homeland security bill makes sense to Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa. He’s worried about the possibility of offshore sites funneling money to terrorists.”
4. Previous tries were scuttled by the powerful gambling lobby.
Catch-words:
– Organized Crime – negative.
– U.S. law enforcement – positive, the guys on the white horses.
– illegal internet gambling – negative and untrue.
– terrorists – this hardly needs explanation.
– powerful (gambling lobby) – If they’re powerful, we should be afraid of them!This article is so incredibly biased and baseless it’s enough to make you laugh. I’m too annoyed to laugh, though. Grrr! 😡
Why dont they just get it over with and pass a bill making anyone who is not an american citizen a terrorist? They could then introduce a clause prohibiting any type of communication or money transfer to someone located outside the USA.
This is getting silly. Why is internet gambling more likely than any other industry to be operated by terrorists? Last time I checked terrorists usualy have cells with low paying jobs. Those cells usualy operate in industrialized countries like Canada and the USA. They then send all earned money outside of basic living expenses to the head which is usualy located in someplace like Pakistan or Russia. Terrorists do not have this type of business model!

They did better than that Antoine … they made a billmaking ALL AMERICAN citizens potential terroists and called
it the Patriot Act.
Patriot Act II and maybe more versions will each take a
shot at reducing freedoms in the land of the free.
Read it !
A few Saudi nations supposedly pulled off 911 and now
294,382,043 Americans are ALL potential terroists.
Only in America eh ?
:rolleyes:

:rollover:Who knows though Arkyt … in Japan they designed a toilet bowl
that is connected to the internet … it sends urine analysis
data and other analysis on your droppings via email to your
doctor … he or she can then advise if any impending disease may
be around the corner based on your crap … if this becomes
the norm, Homeland security can be cc’ed when tests show illegal
drug usage … maybe this will be a provision in Patriot Act
version V.
:rolleyes:
so has anything been passed yet? Or is this just another shot taken?
They are taking another shot in the dark and it isn’t going to pass.
(lol, you’ll make me eat my words if it does, but I would bet with confidence that it doesn’t.)
It was tabled. They didn’t put the iGaming section in the Bill.

Thanks for the info Marc

Michael Oxley must be furious.
Can anyone anticipate his next move?
I doubt Oxley is furious – he is just an uninformed idiot.
I would have been totally amazed had they allowed that provision in the Act. But still, better safe than sorry – we all needed to know just in case.
Thank you Mark :bigsmile:
