Self-censorship of journalism and mass manipulation by using media

Practising self-censorship can be compared to castrating an ox; once it is
done, the ox looks like an ox, feels like an ox, may even occasionally
have fun with the cows, but is totally incapable to produce descendants.
Self-censorship has got the same kind of an effect to people, who become
slowly brain washed by the idea of some ideal world without anything
negative existing. People not questioning the case start thinking one
sided and doubting those claiming something verifiable opposite. For any
research, this would mean twisted and one sides research results ending
either into a chaos, or making humankind simple and dumb.

The US Air Force’s New Mind Control Wing

USAF "Human Effectiveness Directorate" logo The use of RF Directed Energy Weapons is roughly similar to other ‘electroshock’ weapons. Just as the cattle prod-like ‘taser’ has been widely adopted in American law enforcement to temporarily disable (or permanently kill) those targeted, pulsed microwave directed energy weapons have been covertly adopted by the US military for remote incapacitation of human targets, such as political dissidents. More properly classified as weapons of electronic warfare--a type of information war--RFDEW are used for the “jamming” of “enemy information systems,” which also happen to be human brains.

Get off the internet, I'll see you in the streets!

A bunch of reports today talk about the harmful effects of so-called social networking websites and how infact they isolate and separate people.

The article quoted below suggests that social networking sites do the opposite of what they claim, could the same be true across the board.

Agent Orange

Last night I attended a screening of the film "The Last Ghost of War" at IIT Chennai, India, followed by a discussion with Dr Simone Nhu-Mai of the Vietnam Agent Orange Victims Association (VAVA).

Alarming rise of Children’s ID databases and biometrics in schools

Iris-scanning - one example of biometrics used in schools On top of ID cards and the move to NHS electronic records, another major government plan with a potential for hideous invasion of privacy and loss of personal freedom comes out of the Children Act (2004). The new Act allows the setting up of incredibly invasive databases by the Secretary of State and/or children's services authorities in England. At the same time pupils and parents are getting more vocal and organised in their protests against the alarming rate of introduction of biometric systems in schools. These have included fingerprinting (and even iris scanning) of children for school dinners, attendance registers, and use of libraries or ‘learning resource centres’.
