Dumb Down TV

Gypsy Sisters, Big Bang Theory, The Bachelor, Access Hollywood, Yes to the Dress, How I Met Your Mother, Real Housewives of Wherever, TMZ, Duck Dynasty, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Faster Than a Redneck?, Monday Nite RAW, UFC, Pawn Stars, Hogs Gone Wild, Swamp People, Mike and Molly, Storage Wars, The Office, etc etc ad nauseum. 
Inanity and infinity are in the same direction, you get there by clicking your remote. Don't miss the turn or you might find insanity.

Is there any doubt there is a conspiracy to 'dumb down' North America? The conspiracy is not the people out here believing in something strange going on. It is somewhere in there causing the strange to go on!

 But whatever, something strange IS going on.

Just ask your own questions.

Be amazed and informed, just check out any Jim Marrs video on You Tube.

facebook and you and you and you.

facebook has about 900 million subscribers worldwide.
There are about 300 million people in the United States. So for most subscribers in America, that means almost everyone is signed up except the Banjo Boy from Deliverance, that old kid suckling on the Time Magazine cover, and my senile Gramdpa who wants to use the Web to find his teeth.

Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of facebook, (correct lower case "f") is about to send it into public trading. His personal net worth is estimated at 24 billion dollars. That's BILLION! The value of the social networking site is guestimated to be valued at about $100 billion according to a Wall Street Journal report.
At least once a week, those nine hundred million people around the world use facebook. The site's revenue grew from $777 million in 2009 to $3.7 billion last year. And in the first quarter of 2012 it was more than $1 billion!

So who are these people participating so willingly in this Great Deception? 
Half of the Baby Boomers - the generation born in the years after World War II - have an account. And most of the 56 per cent of the country that’s on Facebook is young  -  two-thirds of Gen Xers and a huge 81 per cent of people 18-35 use the social networking site.
Conversely, it’s the rare senior citizen on Facebook. Just 21 per cent have signed up. One would like to think that us old folks have an inbred suspicion of someone who wants all that information about us. But it is more likely feeble fingers left over from the Great Depression.

Let's look at the information available on facebook.
When you sign up, you tell them; when and where you were born, (most police departments use DOB to differentiate one Mr Smith from another)  who your parents were, your mom's maiden name, where your family came from, where you live now, where you used to live, where you went to school, who your friends are, what you like to do, where you like to go, who you like, who you hang with, what you eat, what car you drive, what religion you are, where you work, shop and play. (take a breath here) who your family is and was, exactly what you look like right now, and did in the past. They even want to know what your dog was named when you were 10!

You no longer need to be captured by the CIA or the KGB and grilled or water-boarded for 72 hours for incriminating information. You have gleefully already provided it!
The privacy issue is the thing. Three of every five facebook users say they have little or no faith that the company will protect their personal information. Only 13 per cent trust facebook to guard their data. Even facebook’s most dedicated users are wary - half of those who use the site daily say they wouldn’t feel safe buying things on the network. But lately even the advertisers are saying no one clicks on their ads.

But it is not about purchasing from their advertisers is it? It is about surveillance of everything you do, and everyone you know.  When Homeland Security came into being, with it's accompanying Patriot Act, the FBI and other certain other government agencies recognized the fact that the web had the greatest potential for eavesdropping and eventual control of masses of people. The demographics were perfect too.
Who cares about those oldsters who went through a war fighting for country, peace and liberty? They're naturally suspicious of power anyway. The people who could become the threat to the powers-that-be are all standing there like lambs waiting their turn for the hammer. Sign me up. I'll tell you anything. And so they do. And Maxwell's Silver Hammer came down upon their heads.

And today there are whole stealthy corporations working for these government agencies who have bot readers, chat listeners, cross-referencing software, email filters and face recognition programs listening, reading and looking at you and your friends and working 24/7/365. And because YOUR ISP number goes through your server and even your computer has a unique hard drive code number, all YOUR info IS being read and noted and because the Patriot Act says so. And no company you deal with who has that information can NOT reveal it to the government.  It is the New World Order law. And without a search warrant, and without telling you that you are being watched or investigated.
There is not a police department in North America that doesn't use facebook for information. And most corporations peek into it too before hiring or dealing with you.

Match all this with Google Earth and Street View, and your front door is right there, directing anyone who cares, to your exact home. Do come in. Nice red door, matches the geraniums on your porch.

This is my old house,  >
when I was like, 10, on
Google Earth street view. (she was a Cocker Spaniel named Trixie) Someone could wonder why all the shades are down?  Hiding something? And what is that wire by the front door?  A booby trap?  What goes on in there? What was that about a bomb? I see the tenant read Rudyard Kipling once, you know what THAT says, don't you?
And you can't miss finding it, it is at 49 14'47.32" N by 123 06' 01.47" W, at elevation 264 ft. Maybe we need SWAT for this? Or Men in Black at 4:30 am.

And all because you posted that your girlfriend looked like a BOMBshell in that red clingy dress! The word-trigger clicked in and you may now be on a no fly list.
Never trust anyone who makes one billion dollars in three months.
Technology is wonderful, yes?
Well yes?

So - - -  24/7/365 huh? You might be able to escape on Feb 29th, 2016 but I have no idea where you can hide till then.

Conspiracy theorists. Where from?

The argument that many people who believe a certain conspiracy idea start out thinking in paranoic terms is not so. Those arguments are often convoluted and stretched to fit their premise. Some twisted minds automatically believe anything against a government, or corporation, or political party because of some pain they have been inflicted with.
Yet others begin with a simple, seemingly innocent question. A seed of an idea that begins to grow and bloom with either suspicious answers or a telling silence.

Conspiracies are born when someone tries to hide or distort the truth amid a series of obvious lies or through so many omissions that the prevarication becomes evident. When the simple seeking of information becomes purposely clouded in disinformation the red flags go up.

To name just a few suspicions that fuel these kinds of ideas;
The JFK conspiracy was born from just too many incidents: like when a pristine undeformed bullet appeared on JFK's stretcher carrying his body. AND when witnesses to the murder of officer Tippet conflicted yet only those who said they saw Oswald were used. AND when Oswald was shot within one day. AND, when the powers that be had to enlist the best army sharpshooter to duplicate shots with a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle from the Schoolbook Depository. AND when the people who heard and saw actions from the 'grassy knoll' were ignored. AND when 10 eyewitnesses 'mysteriously' died in the 6 months immediately after. And when Jack Ruby suddenly died. AND when the Warren Commission ignored or did NOT include many pertinent facts in their summery report. And even years later the fire was stoked again when George HW Bush lied about his presence in Dallas that day until it was proven he was there. Etc etc.
Is there a valid reason that people would NOT start to believe something was afoul?

The 9-11 conspiracy has been born because simple questions and what should be obvious evidence is being withheld from the public knowledge.
Like of the 214 surveillance camera sequences that were confiscated near the Pentagon by the FBI on the day, we only get 4 FRAMES to 'show' it was an airliner. AND when NORAD and the US military in charge of protecting America from terrorism is totally useless in that they don't scramble masses of F15s. AND when the First Responders, firemen and police all swear there were explosions in the basements of WTC 1 and 2. AND when a steel structured high rise building falls down from fire for the first time in history. AND when airliners crash into the earth and the Pentagon but leave NO trace when every previous crash in history does leave tail and fusilage. AND when the steel is immediately shipped off to China before the NTSB can even do a single test of that steel. AND when President George W Bush is called to testify it is behind closed doors with an agreement that nothing will be recorded and he brings his 'handler', Dick Cheney with him.

Other conspiracies form from a history of stealth and manipulation, from the first denials of friendly fire incidents to `false flag` operations. Like when it is PROVEN that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was faked. And that Agent Orange WAS sprayed over innocent people. And when the CIA actually have the resources to start their own secret airline. And when the US Government admits to having 83,000 employees doing nothing but adding misinformation, counteracting negative publicity and conspiracy theories in newspapers, web forums etc, thereby spreading DISinformation.

Conspiracy theorists are not the paranoids who would shout about the voices they hear in their heads, even though those sufferers jump onto the theories right away, no, conspiracy theorists are those who only want a simple answer that they KNOW is easily given but withheld for whatever reason. They are the ones who, only through the process of elimination of the spin stories, see that the truth, whatever it may be, is being manipulated and fed to the people.
Accepting that manufactured truth is something certain people cannot do. In spite of the shadow of fear and threat cast with it. It defies their logic, reason and intelligence.

Call them what you will, but they are willing to face the ridicule in searching for the truth.
Kind of a brave thing to do, actually.

Keep asking questions.

Conspiracies - Business as usual?

Why is it there are so many questions unanswered about terrorism?
9/11 has expanded itself into a huge ongoing controversy over the years simply because of unanswered questions. (if you want to know what they are because you've been in a cave for 10 years, refer to the link two posts below - Believe what you will ... but ... it goes to the now famous "Loose Change" video)

So now we have Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas day, flying from Amsterdam to Chicago. An attempted bombing and even though it seems someone has been arrested, there are many questions emerging from the incident.

1 - Some passengers (including Attorney Kurt Haskell) saw a well dressed man pressuring the ticket agent in Schiphol airport to allow another man (bomb man) onto the plane without a passport.
................ No one has released airport video to accept or refute this observation? Why not? You can be sure ALL ticket booths are constantly filmed and these two are recorded. Or not.

2 - The well dressed man and the bomb man went to a 'manager's office at the airport.
................ Why no info about this 'manager' or confirmation that the two were queried? Why isn't anyone answering how bomb man was able to board the aircraft?

3 - Someone sprang into action immediately that a fire emerged to subdue the bomb man and he was evidently taken to first class and handcuffed there.
................ No one seems to know who it was or who took charge of the fire bomb man? They say he was a Dutchman, but was he an Air marshal? If so why not tell the public? If not, where did the handcuffs come from?

4 - Once the plane landed, passengers were kept on the plane for 20 minutes but then allowed to get off with their carry-on baggage.

................ No one hurried the passengers off suspecting another bomb might have been on board? Or to protect a crime scene. And no one inspected the carry-on until hours later.
5 - While in the quarantined area, another man's bag was sniffed out by a bomb sniffing dog and taken to a separate room, then later led away in handcuffs.

................ Why did the FBI deny there even was another man questioned and then change their story five times after publicly aired comments by witnesses?
6 - Some man several rows back of the incident in the plane, was seen operating a video cam recording the whole action.

................ Why has this not come out about who he was or where that video might be?
7 - Another witness confirming Kurt Haskell's view of the Schiphol man says she is afraid to come forward.

................ Why?
8 - The well dressed man in Schiphol said his friend was from Sudan, when we now know he was from Nigeria and already identified by his own father to the CIA as a potential terrorist.
................ Why was no action taken in this regard?

9 - The media has seemingly expressed no desire to investigate, or even query anything about this event, except for a few independent websites and known instigators.
............... Why is mainstream media so reluctant to report on the biggest terrorism scare in 8 years?

Well, there are more questions emerging every day. And fewer answers. If the FBI had an air marshal on board, wouldn't they admit it? Even to reassure the public and inform other potential terrorists?
The problem emerging here, is that the conspiracy theorists get huge erections over stuff like this. And begin to sense a plan. All of these events seem to fit nicely into the idea that everything was known ahead of time. Hmm? Like another false flag operation?
If you knew there was no other bomb aboard, why even bother to search the plane? And letting the passengers sit for 20 minutes is okay too if there was no danger. Then letting them off with their carry-on is okay as well because it was all known ahead of time what was going down? And changing a story from the FBI almost every other day to counter what witnesses were saying is ... just odd.
So one conspiracy theorist told me that 'they' are wanting to keep terrorism front and centered in the minds of the populace to allow further restrictions to freedom. And that this young bomb man may be part of it all and will simply disappear somewhere into some prearranged protection system. Like, do this for us and you'll get American citizenship?

Why do these conspiracy ideas seems to nestle nicely into each other while the official stories fumble about? Is it just because truth is stranger than fiction?
Perhaps it is a natural suspicion in the subliminal minds of people based on a history of machiavellian intrigue going back to the beginnings of recorded secrets. And conspiracy theories are sometimes defined as an attempt to explain an event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people who have also managed to conceal their role.

It seems like business as usual in the conspiracy - counter conspiracy trade. I'm just watching for the next one.

Conspiracy theory 3 - Microsoft

posted on the original caterwauls blog, Saturday, February 19, 2005.

Wasn't it a few years ago that the US Government threatened Microsoft under antitrust laws? And didn't that interest disappear suddenly? Then it came back and they threatened to dismantle Microsoft into 3 separate companies? They feared Microsoft had way too much power because of their monopolistic position in the computer market?
Wait, wouldn't a monopoly be a GOOD thing if a government wanted to control its people and identify where they were and what they were saying and doing and thinking and the road was headed to everyone owning a computer? And most likely to have the Windows Operating System? Isn't Windows on 98% of all computers and XP on virtually every one?
When you go to a website, and then delete or clear all your cookies, and then go back to that website some time later, and they know who you are ... er, didn't Microsoft put a unique number into your operating system under the hype that it was a GOOD thing? Then under waves of protest from the public say that they wouldn't TURN ON that unique identifying number? Or at least YOU could turn it off? And doesn't your hard drive have a unique number too?
Didn't the FBI come out with a sneaky computer spy system called 'Carnivore' a few years ago, that could read the contents of any computer it wanted through your server? Then they changed the name because it seemed too ominous and scary and 1984ish? It could see every single email you sent to whoever and every word you typed into your hard drive or internet browser? Including every password you ever used? And didn't all this happen at about the same time as Microsoft introduced Windows 98? And didn't the US hold these server companies hostage by threatening to shut them down unless they installed Carnivore into their systems without telling anyone? Without telling their customers?
Doesn't Homeland Security have the power to do anything they want without telling anyone about what they are doing? To fight terrorism? Hmm.
Isn't Microsoft starting to add things now to updates of its software without making clear to technical people exactly what those updates are or what they do? In Windows Media player some technicians have compared Media Player 9.0 with Media Player 10.0 and can't find any differences? So why the automatic update?
Would the US government and Bill Gates have made a deal to allow Microsoft to continue as one company, so long as the Justice department had access to the Windows Operating System?
I don't know ... would they?

Er ... would the US government be that sneaky? Oops, never mind, I was here in the sixties.
