Kim Dotcom, wanted in US for copyright infringement, says his Internet Party plans to enter American politics next year. The taunt came shortly after a New Zealand court rejected a US plea to revoke Dotcom’s bail.
Dotcom, who is engaged in a number of court battles in New Zealand over US extradition for his Megaupload service, described himself as “your Internet Freedom fighter” and “Hillary’s worst nightmare in 2016!” in a tweet.
He said his Internet party “is coming to the United States in 2015” and that it would be “well-funded and run by American citizens” while Dotcom himself would be working public relations.
Dotcom helped in creation and funded the Internet Party earlier this year. It failed to gain a single seat in the NZ parliament in the September 20 election.
Earlier he complained that the costs of defending himself in court left his “officially broke,” which may explain why he expects someone else to invest in the US Internet Party.
The Internet Party is coming to the United States in 2015. Stay tuned for our celebrity founders from the music, film and Internet industry.

It was not immediately clear what relations the future US Internet Party would have with the New Zealand capter or how it plans to challenge Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic candidate for the 2016 presidential election.
On Monday the legal team of the German hacker-turned-businessman successfully fended off a bid by US attorneys to have his bail revoked. Dotcom posted the bail in 2012 and remains free while he waits for his extradition case to be heard next June.
The 40-year-old’s legal perils started in January 2012, when a police raid on his come in Coatesville, near Auckland, initiated the shutdown of his file-sharing service Megaupload. An FBI-led investigation led to charges laid against him and his partners involving copyright infringement and conspiracy.
Hmmm, disapointing. Running in 2015. Why would he want to become part of the corruption? Someone needs to inform him that this govt. does not represent the people, and that he’d basically become an enemy. Also, he’s German born and resides in New Zealand, is he eligible anyway?
For his sake, I hope he wakes up soon.
should be eligible…
Barry Soetoro was Kenyan born and resided in Indonesia for years
Someone has to effect change….
“well-funded and run by American citizens”
This may be a good start toward pulling Americans together so all benefit…..
our government does the opposite….anything they can to keep us divided, in chaos, and turning on each other…promoting racism….
I think he may have something good in mind….and if so,
I want to be a part of it….
We need people to start making the change happen….
nothing will happen by sitting around talking about it.
We also need to keep our internet open, cheap and
free from censorship.
I want to know more.
I watched an interview with this man. He was well spoken and explained how his ingenuity created his company which is absolutely service based out his own discovery that the other companies providing similar services were at least not doing so. From his knowledgeable perspective, he also determined that at worst, they were ripping people off. Because they were actually being paid to use that information to spy on everybody within their participators from their clients and passing it on to TPTB. The powers that be. These NWO people want to know what you do, what you say, who you hang out with, what you say to them, what you eat, where you go, when you get up, when you go to sleep etc. These people in gov’t here are total sycophants and psychotics that have no life other than controlling the lives of others. If they didn’t have a position in power they would be smacked down by most. Everything he has offered is legal and is being done by google, cloud etc. He’s a morally good guy so they are going after him. BTW. I thought that the FBI was restricted to act in affairs outside of our borders.
Hitlery’s worst nightmare is a rope.
