I’m Joseph Evers. Very few of you know or care about me. I’m the largest shareholder of ED, and I guess that makes me the “owner”. I’m generally pretty absent in the management of this website. I’d apologize for that but it doesn’t make a lot of money. What we do at Encyclopedia Dramatica is a labor of love, and we all put in what we can. Largely, the great team of volunteers really makes things work for this website, and your donations and page views have been (barely) making ends meet lately. No matter what the current administration and news will tell you, we are in a worsening depression. The last depositors of my fund left 2 years ago despite year after year profitability with no losses and they haven’t come back. Most everyone I know is broke and unemployed. Things are hard, and if Encyclopedia Dramatica were still relying on my pocketbook it would have died when that particular well dried up. So thank you all for contributing to this community. This is truly the most free collaborative publishing platform on the Internet and it would not exist without your love and support.
This weekend I returned from a very much needed vacation in Mexico. I saw Tulum, Coba, Chichen Itza, and Uxmal. If you’re ever in the Yucatan you should eat a few grams of highly potent mushrooms (there are street vendors if you know how to pay attention) and walk amongst the ruins of Chichen Itza. You will not regret it. I arrive Saturday night at LAX on Mexicana Air and get off the plane. When I turn on my Blackberry there are two notable things. The first is a great interview with Australia’s Channel 9 that Anonadmin did. It is a fantastic piece and I really recommend you read it. I normally discourage our users and moderators from talking to the press, but I’m glad he did. This really addresses a lot of points which are going to be of note in the rest of this post.
The second bit was a rather curious bit of correspondence from Australia’s Human Rights Commission.
For those unaware, Encyclopedia Dramatica has been in a lot of trouble in Australia lately. First ED was placed on the ACMA blacklist, a “secret” list of websites to be censored throughout Australia in their upcoming internet filter. After this list was leaked to the public, we all laughed about how we were put on a blacklist with “Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions, Christian sites, and even the websites of a tour operator and a Queensland dentist“. Meanwhile, Australia Communications Minister Stephen Conroy called for the arrests of Australians publishing the list.
Next the “Aboriginal” article was recently removed from Google Australia’s search engine results. This was right after Google had done a large amount of grandstanding about fighting Chinese censorship. Which proves they’re a bunch of spineless hypocrites. Really, you have to admire the shrewdness of Google. China was a gigantic business failure, and a loss leader. With a bunch of CIA and shareholder money Google went in promising that their search technology was really so much better (FYI: from a perspective of pure technical achievement, Yahoo’s is best in the business right now, though they do poison their search results with paid entries) that the Chinese market would fall in a fortnight. Years and what is likely billions later, Baidu completely dominates the Chinese search market. By spinning an obvious business failure as a failure of RED POLITICS Google was able to pull out of China without losing face. Their idiot shareholders sat there and applauded them for wasting billions of their money. For that I give Google a lot of respect. They are some of the most brilliant marketers around, but as anyone who has used Google’s ad placement can attest, the only thing they really excel at selling is themselves.
As for the correspondence from the Australian HRC, well, I’ll just show the first page of the PDF verbatim (click through for high res):
So here’s the deal. This is an initial investigation into charging me, personally, with the violation of Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act. While I act in complete compliance with both the civil and criminal codes of the United States of America, and am assured the right of free speech according to our Constitution (which, if not the greatest political document in the entire history of law, is certainly on the top five) I can personally be jailed and fined for the violation of this law. Check out the court precedent they cite, Dow Jones & Co Inc v Gutnick, where a United States paper had to pay 580k for publishing an article about a globalized company headquartered in Australia and its CEO whilst completely in compliance with United States civil precedence. This isn’t a far-fetched legal theory, they have used it before. Welcome to the one world government, folks. Is this what you wanted? Is this what you had in mind? Cause this is what you’re gettin’.
Encyclopedia Dramatica will never be censored in any way. We will keep publishing this content and our Australian users will be able to view it up until the point that your God-forsaken government blocks it with their soon-to-be-implemented secret list of banned material. ACMA’s child pornography blacklist is only one half child pornography. The rest is religious and political speech. You really want Soviet-style communism as your future? I know some people that had to escape from the GDR. Many of your children will be in that position. The house of cards is about to come down, and they’re making sure your mouths are taped shut first. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
My counsel has advised me that I can never under any circumstances visit my family in Sydney again, nor otherwise make any appearances on Australian soil. Here’s to the hidden cost of freedom.

ED was never good. This is a fact. Just like /b/ it has become a cease pool of fail and embarrassing retardation from 12 year old perverts high on pms. Oh yes, I did go there. Sue me.
Why would I sue you? You have every right in the world to say what you just said.
And that’s the same exact thing this guy is trying to say.
I will say what I want. This is my opinion.
You can say what you want. That is your opinion.
The government is not meant to restrict these rights.
The government is meant to uphold these rights.
Now go ahead and say what you want.
While you still have time.
Damn Australian Liberal Party… or should I say the Conservafaggot Party of Australia. Seriously Aussies kick those John Howard Bush loving fans out of the country.
Nobody ever should support this sociopath. The website is a source for malicious people who want to destroy other individual’s lives.
Of course this is going to “protect the children!” :roll:
This just in, the government hasn’t heard of common sense!
Amen :!:
As the Edomite jew inspired NWO tightens its reigns of terror, it is good to keep a list of all the non-edomite jew traitors who have sided with the Synagogue of Satan so that when the time comes we can take them out along with the Edomites.
The time is coming when you will have to decide whether your will live the rest of your miserable life as a slave or stand up with your weapon and take out the Edomites and their flunkies. IT IS COMING. Mark my words.
I know where I stand. The end of this story is already written. WE WIN!
YHWH my Elohim. I am a Saxon. I am Isaac’s Son. In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
