Forum Post: Hoodwinking the World

I'll tell you what I think about OWS.

With the amount of stress people are under due to injustice, economic deprivation, political talk about rich versus poor etc., most would say it is no wonder a movement manifested. However, with how stringently controlled the media is, it could be speculated that such things were previously highly suppressed, but are gradually being revealed in bigger loads. Why? For people to become violent. When people are thinking with their emotions, they are incredibly easy to control and manipulate.

Some are saying what is manifesting in the U.S. is like how the protests swept across the Middle East. The problem with this is that I do not think it naturally happened and is essentially being instigated. It could be by foreign government or elements within a government that seek eventual permanent solidification of power. This issue with social networking being used as a tool by civilians to organize and rally people for protests can actually be used in the exact opposite. It could be used to manipulate the mass populace to or not to protest certain things, at certain locations, and at certain times for any agendas.

The media always reports in half truths, which when it does or doesn't report about something, that can not be used as a validation that it specifically censored something. Everything is censored, which if something is released or suppressed, it is to get the mass populace to respond in a certain way. It is the ultimate manipulation device, which social networking is its cousin and may even be a more effective means of control. Control isn't limited to the capability of stopping people, it is also about the capability of making people do certain things in order to produce a desired outcome.

The wave of protests and riots that happened in the Middle East weren't exactly unpredictable and neither was this supposedly new social networking phenomena. About two years before Egypt plunged into riots and its government turned off the Internet, there was something very significant that happened where the following correlation is not discussed in the news or (as far as I can tell) on the Internet. What people have overlooked of the past is that Egypt's Internet went down for about three months, which that segment of the world was essentially cut off from the rest of the world. The reason this happened was because supposedly undersea water cables had been sliced in half. Initially, it was blamed on a submarine, but then the blame shifted that terrorists may have cut the cable. It can most logically be speculated that Egypt's government was testing out a complete shutdown of its Internet if it ever desired to do so. Likewise, it can most logically be speculated that it was known that the riots in Egypt were going to happen because it is far too coincidental when joined with this tidbit of information. This lends to the idea that what happened in Egypt and across the Middle East was deliberate.

Now using this logic, it can speculated that some of the blackouts that have happened in the U.S. over the past six years being blamed on malfunctions or possibly terrorists are deliberate. Remember the huge blackout that happened for the whole Northeast? This would explain why the U.S. didn't jump on Egypt over the correlation of this information because it can very easily be applied to any country that has such incidences occur in the past or future.

Literally, you can't believe anything released by the major news medias. All you can do is read the information over a time span and hope your memory and analytic intelligence is good enough to identify abnormalities or hiccups.

That is what I think of the Wall Street protests and why I think it.
