freedom of speech, just watch what you say.

here's where i question things.

is it any surprise that less than 3 hours after i post an inflammatory remark about fox news onto my

facebook page i get shut down and my info can not be accessed?

quote" the cure for swine flu is simple: stop watching CNN and FOX . and tune out the rest of the fear mongers."

for those of you that don't follow, i'll explain.

facebook is largely paid for and operated on by the U.S. government. they threw millions of dollars at Mark Zuckerberg to make this website to help you find old friends and make new contacts which seems an awfully benevolent gesture even for these titans of charity, free speech and all around good will.
while the other friendly social network tool that you all love and use MYSPACE is owned and run by NEWS CORP a.k.a the FOX media mega-corporation.
and there is no small ammount of cross marketing and contamination between these entities.

to stay on the conservative side of conspiracy theory i say that Rupert Murdoch put his dirty cash in on this thing just because it's a great way to subject people to an endless barrage of advertisement and to use their personal details to cross market and cull demographic information and to unwittingly sell out their dear close relatives and long lost friends to the corporate marketing swine.

simply by adding a photograph of your friend to their site and tagging it with a name you have voided all rights to privacy, theirs and yours. making the images and likenesses thereof property of the corporate industrial complex that they can utilise, disseminate and manipulate for their ad campaigns, spambots and ultimately for whatever they wish. you are now their property. whether you signed up or not.

we have deprivatised ourselves.

willingly.

unthinkingly.

try not to let it distract you from your game of scrabble.

return to your relaxed and docile positions.

fill in another quiz about celebrity sex videos.

go back to sleep.

now there can be no assumption of benign or altruistic reasons for the U.S. government's involvement in this one. they are rather disinclined to using public funds in something the voting public would actually use. what interest could the powers that be, the ruling class, the war mongers and lobbyists have in a quirky social website that is designed to collect pictures of citizens, organise and catagorise all of their family, friends, acquaintances linking social and business networks? why would they want to invest multiple millions into a free site that does nothing more than track all of the cultural, political, commercial habits of people and allows them to share freely their opinions all all things in their life from gardening to church and state?

i mean what could they be hoping to gain by funding and ultimately having complete totalitarian access to a massive database that tracks every physical location of its users by IP address and that stores, collects and monitors all the habits of citizens to a degree that no census could ever accomplish, that even the best cold war agent would not have been able to access. to know all the things that people do not speak of in public. and to get them to completely and totally surrender their legal rights as free and private citizens and those of their friends and colleagues.

the patriot act was the first step.

and don't think because you live outside U.S. borders that it doesn't affect you. the last 50 years of world history prove that if it is in the interest of the American government then its corrupt and monstrous tentacles will reach it and the world will not raise a hand.

the war machine has carte blanche to do as it will to protect "freedom" whatever it is they think that is this week. their basic principle centers around the world serving the whims and pockets of the munition makers and oil merchants. they will protect freedom by enforcing their military might upon whomsoever declines to cooperate with them. branding all as enemies of liberty and as terrorists even as they wage illegal wars and campaigns of horrendous slaughter on soil that is not their own. fighting the good fight on behalf of people that don't want their help and killing them in the process.

look up friendly fire casualties as compared to veterans and soldiers actually wounded or killed by the evil enemy's hordes and tell me who the terrorists are.

you are being watched. closely. the ghosts of the Nacht der langen Messer hangs over us.

Orwell would have slit his wrists and taken a nice cold bath with a toaster

if he was around to see it get this far.

you've believed their media, their hype and scare tactics. you've absorbed it all and perpetuate it around the same water coolers and kitchen tables at which you gossip about celebrity misconduct and talk about what you think your neighbour is doing in his yard and who he lets into his house.

it's all your fault and you've done it to yourselves.

passively.

without question.

they are coming for us.

sleep easy.
