Inclusion of mysingaporenews.blogspot.sg Website in the Library of Congress Web Archives

Hi, this is what I received in my mail. For several weeks, the visitors to my site from the USA at times were more than Singaporeans and always ranked number one or two. This is the amount of interest in this blog by Americans.

Inclusion of your Website in the Library of Congress Web Archives

To Whom It May Concern:

The United States Library of Congress has selected your website for inclusion in the historic collection of Internet materials related to the Singaporean General Election 2020 Web Archive. We consider your website to be an important part of this collection and the historical record.

The Library of Congress preserves important cultural artifacts and provides enduring access to them. The Library's traditional functions, acquiring, cataloging, preserving and serving collection materials of historical importance to foster education and scholarship, extend to digital materials, including websites. Our web archives are important because they contribute to the historical record, capturing information that could otherwise be lost. With the growing role of the web as an influential medium, records of historic events could be considered incomplete without materials that were "born digital" and never printed on paper.

The following URL has been selected:

http://mysingaporenews.blogspot.com/

In order to properly archive this URL, and potentially other URLs of interest on your site, we may archive both this URL and other portions of your site, including public content that your page links to on third party sites such as Facebook, YouTube, etc. The Library of Congress or its agent will engage in the collection of content from your website at regular intervals and may include it in future collections. The Library will make this collection available to researchers at Library facilities and by special arrangement.

The Library may also make the collection available more broadly by hosting the collection on the Library's public access website no earlier than one year after our archiving has been completed. The Library hopes that you share its vision of preserving Internet materials and permitting researchers from across the world to access them. 

Please grant the Library permission to provide public access to archived versions of your website by filling out the form available here:

Also, find our information for site owners at https://www.loc.gov/programs/web-archiving/for-site-owners/. Finally, view our web archives at https://www.loc.gov/websites/. If you have questions, comments or recommendations concerning the web archiving of your site, please email the Library's Web Archiving Team at webcapture@loc.gov at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.

This is what I like about Americans and ang moh.

They are willing to accept and preserve ideas that are completely completely critical of Americans.

This is one way of looking at it. Another way is warning RB his blog is being watched by the American regime.

RB,

I suspect that the CIA operative MATILAH has tipped off the US Congress who in turn directed the Library of Congress to sound out to you

Actually, anyone can inform the US Congress by writing to any of the Congress men or Congress women.

Now, whatever he has written in your blog will become permanent historical records in the Library of Congress. Unless, of course I'd RB start deleting all his comments before agreeing to allow them to archive your blog.

Alternatively, it is better for your blog to be recorded in the Wikipedia, which has a wider World-wide access than the US Congress' Library.

If the US Congress want to keep a copy of my blog, they can do so. As for Mathilah's posts, I only deleted those recent ones when he exposed himself as an American operator by persistently posting hate China comments. His earlier comments are still in the archives.

One thing, please feel honoured that the US Congress Library is interested in what we posted here. Never mind if they have other intentions.
