Centralized world power and Net censorship

Centralized world power and Freedom of Speech cannot coexist!

We live in a small world where the actual power structure is hidden and centralized. On the other hand, the Net is all about freedom of speech. Clearly, centralized power and the Net cannot coexist. It is obvious that centralized power is well entrenched so naturally it is the Net that has to back off. This backing off manifests itself in many ways such as malware, P2P clogging, complexity and cost of Internet access, sluggish roll-out, non standard components, obsolescence, information overload, lack of customization and so on.

But the most sinister factor is Google's dominance. The lack of competition allows Google to stick to its keyword centric syntactic strategy where it is able to censor websites much more easily. This SIGNAL vs NOISE kind of censorship is able to confuse even the most determined searchers. In any case, Google is more about Ads than about Search.

The only way to bypass such censorship seems to be to search on the basis of authors as opposed to keywords. This is the only way to keep the SIGNAL NOISE ratio from getting out of control. What is more worrying is not ideology, it is spin. This is the reason we should give up even on authors and follow only individual commenters. The logic is that authors are looking for numbers and only spins see propagation.

To follow individual commenters, we can click on their names, which is usually a link to their website or a page containing other comments made by them. We can also try and Google their name. Savvy commenters pick quirky (hopefully unique) screen names for this very purpose.

But never mind, here too, our rulers have found a way out: botnets. The common perception is that botnets are moronic spreaders of spam and some of the less moronic botnets even try and phish out our passwords. To a certain extent this is true because email is the purest form of addressability so our rulers need spam to dilute it. And also financial scams and economic hardship have forever been used to keep people under control. That such actions keep the insurance and security companies humming is welcome too.

In actual fact, botnets are highly sophisticated networks which are not only able to unceasingly dodge detection but also troll ALL forums and add to the NOISE everywhere. Even complex captchas are no deterrents to these sophisticated bots. It is amazing how many of the comments posted are actually from sophisticated trolls that never be exposed because these behave like human commenters and come from innocent IPs. Recent studies have confirmed that botnets use SEO techniques to capture search engine traffic on controversial keywords.

Moral of the story: Suspect anything and everything because PERCEPTION CONTROL is the biggest game in town.

Internet Censorship Alert

Internet Censorship Alert: Alex Jones exposes agenda to 'blacklist' dissenting sites (March 14, 2010) As I predicted, the Obama Administration is trying to shut down the Internet - at least the parts he doesn't like. Barack Obamas regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein has stated that he wants to ban conspiracy theories from the internet. Think about what this means - Every video, every website, every blog, every email, that exposes or just criticizes the government for any reason whatsoever could be labeled a "conspiracy" and taken down. Your home could be raided in the middle of the night, and you could be carted of to jail for criticizing the government. All they have to do is call it a "conspiracy theory". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqAWmBLFodE

The world's biggest Ponzi Scheme is unravelling..

And Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson are just the front men for the wind down of the biggest scam ever run.

They are just jugglers tying to keep all the balls in air so the current game doesn't melt down on their watch.

And like the slow motion train wreck that Enron became... so will the system they are trying to keep going.

There is a global financial adjustment coming and it will rock the economies of many nations, not just ours here in the USA.

Not even... Germany will suffer, so will the UK, and Austrailia, the Swiss and Russia.

The 10,000 lb Gorilla in the room NO ONE is talking about is the Credit Default Swap (or option) market.

Currently the CDS / CDO market is conservatively estimated to be valued at 44 TRILLION dollars.

The value of the ENTIRE US Stock Market is 22 TRILLION dollars.

The value of the ENTIRE US Mortgage market is 7 TRILLION Dollars.

Can you say inverted pyramid?

THE CDO / CDS market is based upon NOTHING but wishfull thinking and bad paper, who is going to unwind it? We shall see....

Of course this started in the US Debt market, sell more stuff to America, more houses, more cars, more electronics and put it all on an equity loan, or your credit card!

America gets attacked on 9-11, hell, come on America, do your part! - Go shopping!!!!!

The name of the game was - how much DEBT can we (Wall Street and the other Global Financiers) push off on the public.

Of COURSE they got scared after a while because they can crunch numbers too, or so it seems. And they figured out while they were getting really huge returns on all of this debt they were pushing and trading, it was getting so very much riskier to keep it all floating around.

So they decided to make up their own insurance plans, in the form of securities they could trade amongst themselves which SUPPOSEDLY spread the risk of failure among many companies and various forms of debt.

(By the way the smartest guys on Wall Street bought and paid for this venue for them to make money by getting even MORE deregulation via their paid for lobbyists and compliant Congressman and Senators).

The invisible hand of the FREE market... ya know!!!
