I’m afraid I really have to stop for a while again.
Analyzing the manipulation on the net gets painful.
I’m not talking about the manipulation of the mainstream media, which a lot of people follow nowadays. I’m talking about the manipulation of the record on the net, a more dangerous manipulation, because while people know the MSM lies, they don’t know as well that the gate-keepers on the net lie too.
I’ve been diving down that rabbit-hole and it’s frightening.
There are the obvious things – Google, Alexa, Digg, Reddit, Facebook, all of which are known to be manipulated and under the thumb of the elites. Then there are the other things…..
The notion of a golden Internet revolution is quickly becoming a lie. There’s a dark Internet counter-revolution too. It aims to co-opt and reframe the revelations of the net itself into the narrative structure of the power-elites, which is always thesis-synthesis: Zionist world order vs. anti-Zionist world order.
Each of these has its appointed spokesmen.
Those bloggers who try to think their way out of this binary and stay independent are either digitally erased from the record, “framed,” by others, pushed back into obscurity and made irrelevant, distorted and defamed. Perhaps a few have even been eliminated.
This isn’t hyperbole, but careful observation, after research.
Time for me to find a guardian angel who can help me with my work (any takers can post anonymously with a request not to publish)…
And since angels aren’t likely to be forthcoming any time soon…. au revoir.
I’m taking a break from this seamy underworld of the net and tending to my garden, literally and figuratively.
A warm salute and wishes for the holiday season (Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Jain, atheist, agnostic, pantheist, pandeist, Wiccan etc. etc) to all my virtual friends.
I shall miss reading your daily writing. I shall miss its unpredictability, its surprises, its depth of analysis, its honesty, its original thinking. I love the thought that what is to appear on any particular day may possibly depend on whatever chance has brought into your field of vision at a particular moment!
It makes me realize that it can be a bit awkward and difficult, in our peculiar times, to be human in the best possible sense of the word — it takes work! — when it feels as though *being human* ought to be automatic; accomplished just by being, observing, and thinking. But I do understand there are internal contradictions here– after all, “being human” necessitates struggles and stresses, and above all learning… and learning implies an inherent deficiency!
I look forward to reading more from you, should the opportunity appear!
And, I of course wonder just what the ideal “guardian angel* might provide!
Now, when you write something so nice, then I don’t feel discouraged any more.
I do have a guardian angel. He seems to want me to cook my heels for now. A long now.
The trouble is I absorb energy like a sponge. So I get really upset reading certain things and knowing certain things.
And when I’m upset I tend to mouth off, with dire results at times and no rewind button!
But I’ll be back, of course. I’ve given up trying to give this up.
God bless you, Lila!
Thank you, Caryl.
I was thinking of you recently when I was reading something by Adrian Salbuchi.
“I’ve given up trying to give this up.”
Ha!
Ya. We’re on the same page on that.
Try as I might.
And to hell with them if they try to Off us, eh?
Even the little guy. … Because, you know they are, because they can,… and what’s to stop them>? Not even The Law.
“Perhaps a few have even been eliminated.”
Anyway, I’ll be impressed when you hit up chemtrails.
Ah-hem, I mean, geo-engineering.
No, I don’t mean that (entirely) I’m quite impressed with your work. You always get me to questioning shtuff I thought I had already figured out.
…See you on your flip side.
Love, to you.
Hey Clark,
See, you’re hooked on an evil statist.
A secret agent for the NWO….
Possibly a RAW operative!
I don’t get into chem trails, because that kind of analysis would need a stronger background in science on my part to be truly worthwhile.
I’m better off picking on the media.
Anyway…cheers and your holiday duty is to be civil to a non-Rothbardian,
(I’m not enough of a dogmatist to even be an anti-Rothbardian)
Good advise, Lila, and I’ll take it to heart.
Thanks for saying it. … Yesterday, I did just that.
Ah, I suppose I frequently come across as ‘that bad’.
Way much more so online, than in real life.
It’s a lot like how I took our first arguments to be like. … You’re used to arguing a certain way against your (brothers?) so fierce like, so you think nothing of it.
At the same time, when I see people taking an terrible perspective, it’s hard not to come down on them the same way.
I do try to communicate in a way ‘they’ relate to. Perhaps I failed?
Your level of patience (which is a learned thing) must be much greater than mine. And I’ve been told repeatedly by many that I have a Lot of patience. So that’s saying something about yours.
The enemies of humanity, I guess they deserve an attempt, or as Jesus said, Love Thine Enemies. Etc…
Yes, I’m too argumentative.
It’s not meant to be personal, but it’s a fault all the same.
Sometimes, it’s better to let people be wrong.
I don’t have enemies in the sense that I wish “them” harm (except in my weak moments).
I have enemies in the sense that “they” DO me harm….
I don’t think “loving” your enemies means having sentimental feelings toward them.
I think it means not forgetting their humanity and giving them their due, even if they don’t give you yours.
In any case, that’s about as loving as it gets chez moi.
Life is too short to waste on thorough-going creeps.
