There is nothing very exciting about the sliver of silicon in a computer chip, the slab of coated aluminium in a hard disc or the strands of glass used in optical fibre. These basic components have become so commonplace that most of us long since learnt to take them for granted.
But something has been happening to the fundamental building blocks of the computing and networking age, along with the systems into which they are assembled. In short, the foundations upon which our (…) -

[Mass Media is Mind Control] Something for every mind we wish to control...
13 November 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
The Internet is the single biggest problem that propagandist face. The Internet and people that can and do engage in READING and WRITING. These two alone are probably going to do more to dismantle the mantle of MIND CONTROL set up over the last 2,000 years since the introduction of mass story telling, folklore, cultural rituals, and finally the grand parents of the total system we live in MONEY and PROSTITUTION.
Money and Prostitution are the oldest SOCIALLY ACCEPTED AND ACTED on social (…)
