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

Gold climbed over 30 percent in 2007 to $833/oz. then shot up over 20% in 2008 to over $1,000/oz., then pulled back near $800/oz! Why the sudden volatility? Find out what's really driving gold prices.

THIS 25-MINUTE CD WILL EXPLAIN ...

* Why it is still not too late to join the gold bull market - even though prices have already tripled since 2001.

* Why demand for both gold and silver far exceeds supply

* Why Gold should be $1,500 today and may rise to $3,000!

* Why Silver should be $25 today and may rise to $100!

* Why GATA alleges that U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox and West Point may have been secretly depleted

* How gold price manipulation conceals mismanagement of the U.S. dollar to maintain its reserve currency status

* Why the dollar may lose its global reserve currency status

* How "Murphy's Law" will expose big money manipulators

Precious metals are outperforming virtually every other non-leveraged asset as U.S. international demand for alternative investments continues to rise amid growing market uncertainty in 2008.

Best of all, gold still offers a major buying opportunity in 2008! Today geopolitical uncertainty, rising inflation, the falling dollar, a credit implosion, ETF buying, mining and banking de-hedging and host of other strong fundamentals are fueling gold's steady march toward astounding new heights.

WHY LISTEN TO US? ...

* In 2001, we published "Rediscovering Gold in the 21st Century"...which announced the beginning of a new bull market in U.S. gold and silver coins based on market trends, diversification principles and common sense.

* In 2002, we published "The New Gold Rush" ...which documented the paradigm shift from financials to tangibles.

* In 2003, we released "Gold: The Color of Hope" ...which exposed why 39 economists finally agreed that gold and silver are the buy of a generation.

* In 2005, we offered "Economic Solutions in the 21st Century"... Addressing the growing problems of debt, deficits, the falling dollar and retirement/pension fund crisis.

* In 2006, we offered "The Rule of Gold"... covering... 2006 Economic Trends, Why $500 Gold is Still Cheap, 2006 Investment Scorecard (2000-2005)

* In 2007, we offered "The Future of Gold" and "Gold 101" ... a brand new 25-minute DVD and magazine covering everything you need to know about gold investing.
