How the Online Gambling Ban Empowers Al Qaeda
Summary
The U.S. government's decision to ban online gambling claimed to target terrorist funding, including groups like Al Qaeda. However, does this ban truly achieve its objective, or does it inadvertently assist these groups?
The Impact of the Online Gambling Ban
While it's conceivable that organizations like Al Qaeda could leverage online casinos to fund their activities, the outright ban on online gambling may ironically benefit them. Here's why:
Shift in Beneficiaries
Before the ban, most revenue from online gambling in the U.S. went to established, publicly traded British companies. Once the ban was enacted by Congress, these companies quickly exited the U.S. market due to potential legal repercussions. Despite this, online gambling persisted, merely redirecting funds to less reputable entities.
Unintended Consequences
The ban didn't stop online gambling; it merely redirected money to smaller, less regulated casinos. These operations, previously overlooked, now stand to gain significantly from the continued online wagers. Such entities are more likely to serve as potential fronts for groups like Al Qaeda.
Misleading Justifications
Some argue that terrorists profited by holding shares in reputable online casinos. However, if that logic holds, wouldn’t they also invest in major corporations like Microsoft or Google? Would that warrant banning them too? The reasoning seems flawed and misleading.
A Call for Action
The American public appears to have been misled by their representatives. It’s time to demand answers and accountability from the government, reminding them that they serve the people.
Making Your Voice Heard
Jim Nickogoski has initiated a campaign through [his MySpace page](http://www.myspace.com/angryonlinegambler) to fight the Online Gambling Ban, offering an online petition for citizens to express their disagreement and demand a repeal of the law.
A Better Approach
The most effective way to ensure that online gambling funds are not used for terrorism is by collaborating with online casinos to regulate the industry through licensing. This provides transparency about where the money goes, ensuring it doesn’t fund those threatening national security.
Engage and Act
Write letters to your senators, congressmen, and the President, expressing your opposition to the law. Urge them to provide evidence that this ban truly serves the nation’s best interests.
Conclusion
Ultimately, a repeal of the online gambling ban seems likely. History shows that prohibitions often fail, especially without clear proof of necessity. Even if terrorists were running casinos, people would still gamble?"it’s human nature. Let's advocate for a more effective, rational approach.
