[quote:Anonymous Coward 871630:MV8xMjMzMTMzXzIwMDk1ODQxX0YxRkVGNUYw] [quote:ToyTV] The Internet is not heavily controlled like T.V. and newsprint. Anyone can post virtually anything in cyberspace. This is good. You see the difference? ------ The internet is heavily 'influenced.' How about that? soon to be [b]completely controlled[/b]. I see little difference. If it's influenced properly (which it's pretty much there now), it is the same as being controlled...even if you think 'we' control it. We don't. The Internet would cease to exist if this happened. It would simply be TV again, and there is no sign of things regressing like this, save some emergency shutdown protocol. And even that is an unknown. You would have to 'control' everyone who would interface with the net. That won't happen. ------ It's already happening...and it still exists. In fact, people have fallen in line just like the sheep we are. Aren't you catching on yet? Don't you get their methods yet? They give you the illusion of choice, but the choices they offer all work towards their end. The fact that you think you have some control of media, is proof that their plan is rolling along perfectly. Do you think that all this 'waking up' isn't planned...by their design? Sorry, we are being controlled more than ever...we just think we aren't. It's a perfect plan. If they are the masters of reality, why bother having the Internet in the first place? If 'they' are all powerfull, why even start a medium where they can be exposed? Where's the logic? ------ One: they are not "all powerful," or "masters of reality," they just think they are...and want you to believe they are. Two: You, "waking up," is by their design and not by your 'uncanny ability to find the truth,' as you would like to believe. The internet is important for this reason, among many other reasons. [/quote] Hmm. Well I do have a drive want to know what the truth is, but some of the best info I've experienced has been by happenstance. In other words, the truth was really discovered by others and I just happened to come across it by chance*. Standing on others shoulders and all that. I agree that the Internet is important for that reason. Instead of information being fed to you, like TV and print, the net allows you to discern whatever it is that you are researching from multiple sources. Plus, the Internet has a shelf life. It's usefulness will run out, and be supplanted by a communication medium that's much more grander and faster than we could ever imagine. ------ [/quote]
Original Message
The internet is my only remaining connection to Media...I don't own a TV, I don't watch movies anymore ('cause I know what 97% of them are about), music, other than some jazz and classical, has been dead to me for years now. Few books capture my interest, and all but 3 or 4 of them are non-fiction. So I only really have the internet left.
The internet is insane and controlled heavily. It is TPTB's tool to shape minds...it's the 'new TV.'
I don't care what's happening, or what's going to happen (although I have figured out what's going to happen). So I am going to split for a while (maybe for good)...I'm going to enjoy my family...and my work. I shall get back to what is important.
I will leave GLP, in the GLP spirit...
Ask me a question.
