Excuse me Frank, i need to ask you again...

west using DNS?

(Excluding of course, USA government, NSA, Facebook, IBM, Google,
Microsoft, Vaticano, Neonazis, George Bush friends, Oil companies, The
Queen of England, Bilderberg club, Mass media, Pharmas, etc, of
course, because they are very good persons all...)
