When The Left Hand Does Know What the Right Hand is Doing

Have you noticed that lately companies (larger corporations) are pushing/promoting better “deals” on products and services if you sign up for automatic payments (withdrawn from your bank)? I would suppose, if you follow the process of making “automatic” payments, one could easily conclude that if the Internet went down, these companies, where people have signed up for automatic withdrawals, would still get their money.

We have been hearing for some time that there may be times in our future when the Internet will go down. Some have expressed this might happen for long periods of time. I have figured that, at a minimum, it would be an easy way for governments to censor information they don’t want the public to know about. But, I have also thought, Internet shutdowns for extended periods of time, could make paying of bills, buying and selling products and services, etc. difficult or impossible to do…unless, of course, you are set up with automatic payments.

Hmmmm…maybe there are those who know something the rest don’t.

Maybe think twice before being lured into a better financial deal and signing on to auto pay.

This is It!!! The End of the Internet

I think many people now call the American society the “Cancel Culture.” This is where I insert, “I told you so.” The Internet was once a place where anyone could go for just about any reason at all. In particular tens of thousands of people found it a place to go and share their thoughts, ideas, research, etc. I am one of them.

I one day decided that what I was studying and learning was information I thought some people might find valuable. As a matter of fact, I believe that much of my work (on the Internet) laid the ground work for a relatively large group of activists who wanted to protect the American Heritage of hunting, fishing, land access, etc. In particular, I spent a great deal of time studying, researching and communicating with so many experts about the grey wolf.

Enough of a lousy attempt to toot my own horn. The truth is, the ability for anybody to do this same thing today is over. We are all witness to the efforts of most, so-called, social media platforms, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube/Google and others I don’t even know exist, that have censored comments and full channels and accounts, banning users and those who once had the freedom to exercise their First Amendment privileges.

Because the efforts of these major social media owner’s to ban and censor anyone they don’t like have gone unchallenged, balls have gotten bigger and now the talk is to not only allow such censoring, but to expand it into areas once thought would never happen in a country such as the United States.

The talk involves controlling/banning anyone on social and media platforms (in other words EVERYWHERE Online) who dares to challenge the official narratives of such things as Climate Change, COVID, ruling political parties, elections, and whatever the Above Ground Serpent Race deems is a challenge in any way to their dominance of all things.

And while some of us are aghast at this direct gagging (putting the boot to the neck, as Barack (Insane) Obama once told his True Believer followers), more indirect and yet equally effective tools are being discussed as ways of preventing anyone from having a platform to challenge the Global Power Structure. These tools will include the requirement of anybody who wants to have any kind of channel, i.e. Youtube, Facebook, as well as bloggers and all other “alternative” news/media, to purchase licensing agreements from musicians, actors, journalists, news outlets, etc….and don’t think this will not include anything and everything that people like myself and millions of others use and/or reference in our work to provide others with alternative information/data, links to other, mostly major, news sources.

The ability of people to exercise their privilege to speak up is now gone. Notice I have called free speech a privilege and not a right. It hasn’t been a right in many, many years. This cancel culture (part of the efforts of the Above Ground Serpent Race) deems this kind of censorship and control necessary in order that they are the only ones pulling all the mind manipulation and propagandizing strings. Once it was considered important and part of an intelligent and open society to allow opposing thoughts, ideas, ideology, as a way of providing information so that intelligent people could make informed decisions. That is no longer permissible. Whoever or whatever is in charge puts their boot to the necks of anyone who dare speak out against them. Unfortunately these boots are now coming in the form of broad censorship with controlled media.

Haven’t we seen this kind of censorship and media control in other societies that ended in disaster? Evidently, that part of history has been torn down along with the statues, flags, and history books.

So, it’s over. I have no idea how much longer I and thousands of others who dare speak outside of the official talking points will be allowed to continue. If you have a favorite alternative news and information site, you might want to save those tender morsels you find of value because soon they will no longer be available…only government controlled information will be meted out on a need-to-know basis. I assume “THEY” will start with the bigger sites eventually whittling their way down to little ole me.

Progress????? Hmmm!

SHOCK: Google Censors and Manipulates Search Engine Results

A reader sent me a link to a Michelle Malkin piece published at Ammoland, about information from a Google whistleblower who claims that Google manipulates and censors content from its search engines and other media outlets, such as YouTube.

Well, no kidding!!! Cripes sakes anyway. For many years I have been making that obvious claim. But I guess now with a whistleblower, we can confirm this is common practice at Google…or can we? Who is running this dog and pony show anyway? And most importantly, does anyone REALLY care? NOPE!

Like Facebook and all the other social media sites, they are all fake, controlled, manipulated, and censored. We are all at the mercy of the tech giants (whoever they really are) if we choose to participate in the game of Internet Technology Charades.

I began a “blog” before blogs were called blogs and before software became readily available in which a writer/blogger could more easily publish his work and have it available for anyone in the public realm to read or have access too.

Back in the day it was a frustrating thing to figure out how you could end up at the top of the heap in the search engines’ results pages. Some chose to spend money to buy their way into the search engine results (inject money? What possibly could go wrong?)

I first posted on an official blog site in November of 2005. If I could count the couple of years of hand-crafted blogging, I’m zeroing in on 15 years of posting blogs on the Internet (that’s only 5 years less than Malkin). With well over 30,000 personal posts published to only my own websites, one would think by now I could be easily found in the search engine results and readers numbering well into the tens of thousands. Not so!

Not unlike the big guns in Big Tech, I also have authored or co-authored 4 books. I have written too-numerous-to-count articles that have been published in many print and digital media sites across the country and in foreign lands. After 15 years of nonstop writing and publishing, a rational mind might think I would have a giant readership and would show up in the landing pages of search engines when readers/users search for key words that are common to what I mostly write about. Not so!

After all these years, I figure there must be one, or more, of at least three things going on. First, the base of my content is so tiny, with little interest, I will never draw more readers. Second, I’m a terrible writer incapable of holding the interest of readers enough to entice them back for more, and third, I have been for the past 15 years censored and manipulated off the search results pages.

I believe that in the last 4 to 6 months, especially since I have done a little shifting of content to information about the evilness of the corrupt man/government and sharing truth in the Living Word of Our Creator and “Hidden Scriptures” promised us to be revealed in the Last Days, my site has been the target of even my web hosts, who, for no apparent reason (to me anyway) shut down my website, claiming I was harming their servers and due to a poorly designed website I needed better security, etc. Even after showing them I had all the latest gadgets as part of the con game, they still refused to put me back online.

After over a month, I finally got the web hosts to upgrade their own software and I was brought back online. However, since coming back on line, my readership has been shrunk to basically nonexistent. At my peak, I had 3,000 to 4,000 daily readers (a pittance when you consider 15 years of writing and posting). Now, I’m lucky if a get a couple hundred.

Many readers who have signed up to receive my email notifications of when new articles are published, are finding the notifications shunted to the SPAM folder. Key information in those published articles is censored by the controllers of the Disqus commenting software system.

So, what’s the use? Sure I can tell you all about it and even complain, but what’s the use of spending valuable time researching for content to share, when the entities to which I am a slave to, are deciding who gets recognition and who does not.

It’s all part of the bigger Rigged System, the Bread and Circuses. I have no recourse. My only option is to hold out hope that the handful of readers I have value what I write enough to keep reading and hopefully they will be changed, even in the tiniest of ways, for the better having been fed portions of truth.

So, the reality is, if I chose to continue with an Online presence, I have no choice but to remain a censored slave by the “Image of the Beast.” I can complain to no end, but nothing will change and I suspect the censoring and manipulation will get even worse.

Will the day come when heavily censored writers will be target for execution? More than likely.

How Much of the Internet is Fake?

Let’s answer that question with more questions. How much of this existence is fake? Why should we believe an article found on the fake internet isn’t fake?

This article, linked to from Drudge, is mostly rooted in faking all things on the internet for the purpose of lying, cheating, and stealing in order for some sinister “fakers” to make gobs of money. So what else is new?

The article states: “Some [malware infected computer bots] were sent to browse the internet to gather tracking cookies from other websites, just as a human visitor would have done through regular behavior. Fake people with fake cookies and fake social-media accounts, fake-moving their fake cursors, fake-clicking on fake websites — the fraudsters had essentially created a simulacrum of the internet, where the only real things were the ads.”

While all of this is disturbing, in the realm of our existing automatized culture of a hungry, non-thinking people, what difference does it make except for those thinking they are making money from the Internet when in reality, like Federal Reserve Notes, they are being conned?

The users don’t care. They see what they want, hear what they want, and repeat what they want. They may mouth that the Internet is fake, but that doesn’t stop them from jumping all in, gobbling it up as though it was life’s blood.

The “Catch-22” or circular thinking that is going on here is as ridiculous as the concept of everything being fake. Are we to believe, just in the same fashion that we do now, that because an Internet magazine media source reports what’s fake and what’s not, we are to disregard all other information and believe them? How does any of this make sense.

Such actions and reactions are creeping up on a “Clockwork Orange” kind of programming utilizing shock therapy to correct the behaviors of people, only the shock therapy isn’t as outwardly obvious. For those who haven’t figured it out yet, the shock therapy to brainwash the masses has been going on for a long, long time. As a matter of fact, it started in the Garden of Eden.

From all of this, we are left with this bit of nonsense based in a lack of understanding of the real reason the Internet is being used against us…the people: “What’s gone from the internet, after all, isn’t “truth,” but trust: the sense that the people and things we encounter are what they represent themselves to be. Years of metrics-driven growth, lucrative manipulative systems, and unregulated platform marketplaces, have created an environment where it makes more sense to be fake online — to be disingenuous and cynical, to lie and cheat, to misrepresent and distort — than it does to be real. Fixing that would require cultural and political reform in Silicon Valley and around the world, but it’s our only choice. Otherwise we’ll all end up on the bot internet of fake people, fake clicks, fake sites, and fake computers, where the only real thing is the ads.”

I’m in no position to disagree with the theory that all this stuff online is fake. It’s the solution that bugs me. The suggestion is that a cure requires “cultural and political reform.” It is precisely “cultural and political reform” that has driven us to this point of distrust “to be disingenuous and cynical, to lie and cheat, to misrepresent and distort…”

The only way of controlling the people is to ensure their division – their distrust of all except those who are doing the controlling. Government authority, or more accurately, the Global Power Structure fears the Internet because it can be a platform for truth. In it’s “unregulated” form the onus should be on the readers to decipher fact and fiction, but who’s left that wants to do that? The author of the piece intimates that the Internet needs more regulation, regulation that comes from the Global Power Structure that is doing all it can to make and keep the Internet “fake.”

Cultural and political reform, by design, has brought our very cultural to the pinnacle of distrust. By all indications, that’s exactly where “they” want us to remain. Therefore, why should we expect or even want cultural and political reform other than what we have been programmed to do?

We are caught in the web of circular following. While some can see the web they don’t understand how we got in. Without that knowledge, there is no way out.

Go ahead. Go look to Facebook for your answers. Maybe this time you’ll get something that is real but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

When You Challenge Government’s Narrative

*Scroll for Update*

It has been written about often that in the 1960s, the CIA began an official and orchestrated campaign to destroy and/or discredit anyone who might challenge the official narrative. Often that official narrative is nothing more than lies/propaganda, designed most often to not only ridicule the one with the challenge but at the same time to foment distrust, along with hatred, among the masses of automatons. A fearful mass of nonthinkers is much easier to control and convince.

That extremely powerful label became, “The Conspiracy Theorist.”

We still hear it today, perhaps more than at anytime in our history, but has the label achieved its useful life expectancy? I believe it has. Welcome “Fake News.”

It appears to have begun at about the same time Hillary Clinton was going down in defeat in her election bid to become the next Puppet-in-Chief of the United States Corporation. She blamed her loss on “Fake News.” Bear in mind that even though Hillary Clinton may not have won the election, she and her perverted husband are too powerful to simply drop out of the picture.

The term might be surprising but the action, targeted against “alternative” Online news sites, blogs, etc., is actually, in the context of the rapidly moving Cyberspace, something old. Mainstream Media loathed the day when the Internet provided platforms for anyone wishing to provide alternative information – real or imagined. With the rapid growth of digital technology, newspapers and magazines dropped dead. Those media giants, whom we know are nothing but the mouthpiece of the CIA, Council on Foreign Relations, et. al., were losing their grip on propagandizing the U.S. and the rest of the world, say nothing about money. They tried, unsuccessfully to demean and ridicule the tens of thousands of websites, some very powerful and accurate, refuting the efforts of the Media in their march to systematically finish destroying what was left of a non-thinking readership’s minds. That attempt may have backfired somewhat, however, it only helped to bolster the more powerful “fake news” sites on the Net.

Something different had to be done to save the Powers and Principalities of the controlled worldwide Media. Thus began the promotion of the term “Fake News.” Much like Conspiracy Theorist, extremely successful in limiting anyone attempting to disprove the official politic of the Ruling Establishment, this new term is the necessary, modern-day replacement of conspiracy theorist. The term conspiracy theorist will never lose its firm grip, as the people, with fear ingrained into them and love of government forefront of their minds, will continue to use the term like a plumber uses a “roto-rooter.”

The result of the Conspiracy Theorist campaign is quite evident, as can be seen if you are anyone who dares open their mouth to speak against the official narrative. The same powerful media giants, controlled by the CIA, used the conspiracy theorist label and began to systematically brainwash the masses to become their own instruments to destroy attempts to dispel government lies.

Will the new “Fake News” hallmark take root as effectively as conspiracy theorist has? Only time will tell. Perhaps the push to destroy the minds of men across the globe through cellphone, “eye”pads, laptops, tablets, etc., with the onset of “The Internet,” had a bloodline that was not anticipated. Perhaps they didn’t think “Fake News” would grow so big and powerful and something needs to be done.

Eventually, the Internet will be fiercely censored and controlled by Government. It cannot be allowed to provide a platform in which a portion of it operates in opposition to (outside of controlled opposition) the official narrative of Government lies and propaganda. Until that time arrives, the stage will be set to give the automatons reason to ask for greater censorship and control over the Internet by Government as a means of protecting us all from “Fake News.”

Brilliant!

But, Don’t Go Look!

Because you probably think this is Fake News!

*Update* – 12/9/2016 – 12:58 am

It also appears that the Pope (the antichrist) has joined in (or actually is the orchestrate of the “Fake News” movement) the call to destroy all things not government sanctioned and controlled.

Pope Calls Fake News like “Fecal Fetish.” That would be like him and little boy fetish.

Claims of Removal of Internet Existence a Lie

I couldn’t help but follow the link posted on Drudge about, “Delete Self from Internet with Press of Button.” The lie about deleting yourself says that it, “offers a way to wipe your entire existence off the internet in a few clicks.” That must be the biggest farce pertaining to Cyberspace I’ve ever heard. However, make no mistake about the fact it’s a scam designed to make money and trap some idiots.

The Internet, once you’ve been there….period, is much the same as applying for and possessing a Social Security Number. You can’t get rid of it….period – ever!. You might think “unsubscribing” and “deleting” Internet accounts will do the trick but it doesn’t. Even if one corrupt Internet business tells you, after you have hit the “unsubscribe” button for the 37th time and won’t be receiving anymore emails, they will, if they haven’t already, sold your information to other lurking rapers and prostitutes and we haven’t even begun to discuss what the Corporate United States of America criminal and pervert does.

Go ahead, “delete” your Facebook account. Soon you will discover it can’t be done. The CIA has your information filed for further use and along with it anyone and everyone you have ever made contact with…even in the smallest of ways. But you don’t want to believe that because it makes you uncomfortable.

Don’t fall for their con job. They can’t do what they tell you they can do. It’s too late. It’s as stupid as signing up for one of those accounts that will “store all your passwords” to all your accounts for you. What could possibly go wrong but more importantly, who would be so damned stupid?

BUT DON’T GO LOOK!

Just a Random Thought

I understand the need or want of media outlets trying to find ways of making money. Nobody wants to buy their crap newspapers. Thinking that the change is the age of electronics and not the crap content of their news items, most media outlets have begun putting more effort into monetizing their websites. The result is that readers must spend the first 1 or 2 minutes, in some cases more, waiting for advertisements, most forced upon the reader, to load making it impossible to read. Combine this with the fact that anytime a user clicks their mouse or scrolls, a pop-up, pop-under, or new page of advertisement loads – sometimes multiple page, readers are stuck in some kind of cyber maze with no way out except to cancel the entire browser page. How is there profit in this?

When I first began a news oriented website, one of the first things I learned was that readers have short attention spans combined with zero patience waiting for pages to load. Did that disappear? Why do advertisers waste their money on these sites? Surely their return on investment has to be poor, at best.

For me, I am fed up. I’m almost at a point of never visiting or creating links to a lot of website because I don’t want to be associated with the bombardment of ads, the majority of which I have no control over.

Therefore, I am going to begin, at least for the most egregious of the offenders, to state the name of the site where something of potential interest exists, and let the reader decide if they want to spend the time and effort to read something that is probably fake anyways.

I once believed that for me to post a “teaser” and a link to a website where the entire content could be found, was doing the owner of that other site a favor. Perhaps I was and still am but if my readers get frustrated by following the links I provide, in the long run they will associate my site with that crap.

I have never loaded down my website with ads and try very hard to make sure that any videos I may post have to be activated by the reader. I refuse to force my readers to have to wait while unwanted advertisements load.

At present I pay for everything for this website out of pocket. I have no paid advertisers and will not do so. I am repeatedly turning down requests to run ads on my website. I know it costs me money but I feel that it is more important to educate readers than take advantage of them for profit. When the day comes that I am forced to do as the big guns in media are, I’ll quit. However, I doubt seriously that it will come to that because Internet censorship will be here soon, at even a grander scale than at present, I will be long gone by then.

So, I hope readers enjoy that they can come to this website and quickly and cleanly navigate the site and find information that is valuable to them.

Congressional Review Of Copyright Law May Destroy Internet News Sources

He explained, “To have a Supreme Court Justice say to me it’s over, they’ve got the votes, which means time is limited,” he added, noting that a day was coming when simply operating an independent website could be outlawed. That will end [it] for me – fine – I’ve had a hell of a run,” said Drudge, adding that web users were being pushed into the cyber ‘ghettos’ of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.”

Drudge added, “This is ghetto, this is corporate, they’re taking your energy and you’re getting nothing in return – nothing!”
