Razzberries

Government demanding search records from Google, Yahoo, etc. Billions of searches annually will be impossible to track. Tracking an individual's search history is useless as any good revolutionary will not seek methods online and any smart pervert will use someone else's p.c. The entire idea of government compelling Google to turn over records is to scare babies and provide armchair radicals something to shill about. The guvmint doesn't care what Jane & Joe Blow googles. It's a psyop to fall for.

Government control of the internet. They already have it; otherwise we the people would never have been given access to the net. Government shutting down access to internet. Not going to happen. Too many industries making too many billions online.

The imminent collapse of the US economy. Not until China, Japan, Europe, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, Canada, etc. decide their US investment can withstand the loss. Life will become more austere for many Americans, the stockmarket may wobble and weave, but "collapse" of the economy is another tactic to scare babies. But do go ahead with hoarding supplies and paying off debt; it will eventually put less in the elite pocket.

Hiding, or ceasing publication of the M3 report this March. The M3 report is published by the government to track production, savings, accounts and spending in the US economy. It is used to track inflation and the printing of US dollars to keep up with US debt. Some "experts" claim the M3 is very important, others not. The feds claim the cost of producing the information outweighs its usefulness. If you feel you absolutely must have the M3 report – take the M1 and M2 because the M3 is basically a compilation of M1 and 2. If you believe the feds are hiding the M3 due to imminent economic collapse then better sell all stocks, build a bomb shelter, and wait for falling skies. If you're like 99.9 percent of Americans you never heard of the M3 until your favorite blogger yelled loudly the M3 cessation portends economic doom of immense proportion.

War with Iran. Unlikely. Iranian leaders maintain religious, secular, social, and economic control over their population which is what the US desires at home and abroad; a la Saudi, Israel, Syria, China, etc. Phony democracies, oligarchies, royal choke holds, republics that repress thinkers, religious fruitcakes preferred. Iraq was closer to democracy under Saddam Hussein than it ever will be under US puppets. (Contrary to popular b.s. Israel is not a democracy but a racist tribe living off US welfare, and faring very well.) If war with Iran comes – there is nothing anyone can do about it (just as Iraq was unstoppable by millions of peons). Iran may act as replacement for USSR's red menace. Wars and rumors of wars has been used for years as the "big scare" factor in politics and religion. For thousands of years each generation predicts "the end" is near.

We the people pay and die for wars, but we do not start nor stop them. Vietnam ended because the ruling elite had made their monies and, after a dozen+ years, were ready to leave the venture. Social unrest over VN was a welcomed excuse for the money changers (if not covertly directed by them). The "movements" of the 60s thus ended as quickly as they began, with the elite scoring biggest in the categories of women to work (for less), public dole increased (submissive and controlled public), and a gluttony of new consumerism / debt for techno-toy entertainment, marketing wannabe rich and famous (the FU, I got mine era).

Other raspberries: Bird flu, pfffattt. Alito pfffattt. Flight TWA, Abramoff, bin Laden latest release, pfffattt. Election 2000, election 2004 thefts, will not be undone. "Moderate" politicians from any side of the aisle– har har har. General Ivashov, George Galloway, and all other foreign phonies as the US has more than enough progressive posers of its own.

Bush administration impeachment and/or war crime charges. Unlikely, and it would change nothing. It will not change US direction. A worldly order is here. An orderliness where folks support the belief that things are the way they are because that's "just the way the world is." Doing something about the order, if you disagree with any of it, will take more than contacting representatives, more than holding a sign, or attending a protest once a year, or sending a few dollars to a favored cause. It will take overthrowing the entire government (throwing out ALL current pols and revising the system) – and no segment of America is in enough pain, or has enough power, for such a disobedient act; big daddy government has seen to that.

Which reminds me of a news blip interview with a waitress during the recent NY transit strike. She didn't support her fellow worker peons striking "because they made a lot more money" than she did and had better benefits. Of course her mentality and sense of fairness do support a 4-eyed schlep earning billions for an idea, or millions for a CEO bonus, or a song, or an appearance – but not a bus driver earning a little more. Because she's a good American pissant, and that's just the way the world is. Big Daddy has seen to that.

I enjoyed this, TY. It's a sign of the times that I'd rather hear a lot of negative stuff (from wherever) when it smells of truth than wrack my brain trying to figure out what realities each political party is seeing that I do not see and how much spin I can digest before dropping from vertigo.

Btw, I haven't seen much discussion about the fact that Google has been collecting data in the first place.
