MySpace, Trojan Horse Of Internet Censorship

MySpace isn't cool, it isn't hip and it isn't trendy. It represents a cyber trojan horse and the media elite's last gasp effort to reclaim control of the Internet and sink it with a stranglehold of regulation, control and censorship.

Since Rupert Murdoch's $580 Million acquisition of MySpace in July 2005, it has come from total obscurity to now being the 8th most visited website in the world, receiving half as many page hits as Google, despite the fact that on first appearance it looks like a 5-year-old's picture scrap and scribble book.

MySpace is the new mobile phone. If you don't have a MySpace account then you belong to some kind of culturally shunned underclass.

What most of the trendy wendy's remain blissfully unaware of is the fact that MySpace is Rupert Murdoch's battle axe for shaping a future Internet environment whereby electronic dissent, whether it be against corporations or government, will not tolerated and freedom of e-speech will cease to exist.

MySpace has been caught shutting down blogs critical of itself and other Murdoch owned companies. They even had the audacity to censor links to completely different websites when clicking through for MySpace. When 600 MySpace users complained, MySpace deleted the blog forum that the complaints were posted on. Taking their inspiration from Communist China, MySpace regularly uses blanket censorship to block out words like 'God'.

Earlier this week Rupert Murdoch sounded the death knell for conventional forms of media in stating that the media elite were losing their monopoly to the rapid and free spread of new communication technologies. Murdoch stressed the need to regain control of these outlets in order to prevent the establishment media empire from crumbling.

MySpace is Rupert Murdoch's trojan horse for destroying free speech on the Internet. It is a foundational keystone of the first wave of the state's backlash to the damage that a free and open Internet has done to their organs of propaganda. By firstly making it cool, trendy and culturally elite for millions to flock to establishment controlled Internet backbones like MySpace, Murdoch is preparing the groundwork for the day when it will stop being voluntary and become mandatory to use government and corporate monopoly controlled Internet hubs.

The end game is a system similar to or worse than China, whereby no websites even mildly critical of the government will be authorized.

The Pentagon admitted that they would engage in psychological warfare and cyber attacks on 'enemy' Internet websites in an attempt to shut them down. The fact that the NSA surveillance program spied on 5,000 Americans tells us that the enemy is the alternative media and that it will be targeted for elimination. Google has been ordered to turn over information about its users by a judge to the US government.

The second wave of destroying freedom of speech online will simply attempt to price people out of using the conventional Internet and force people over to Internet 2, a state regulated hub where permission will need to be obtained directly from an FCC or government bureau to set up a website.

The original Internet will then be turned into a mass surveillance database and marketing tool. The Nation magazine reported, "Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on our every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the National Security Agency. According to white papers now being circulated in the cable, telephone and telecommunications industries, those with the deepest pockets--corporations, special-interest groups and major advertisers--would get preferred treatment. Content from these providers would have first priority on our computer and television screens, while information seen as undesirable, such as peer-to-peer communications, could be relegated to a slow lane or simply shut out."

The original Internet will deliberately be subject to crash upon crash until it becomes a useless carcass of overpriced trash and its reputation will be defiled by the TV and media barons cashing in on the perfectly streamlined Internet 2, the free for all network that just requires you to thumbscan in order to log on! Those with a security grading below yellow on their national ID card will unfortunately be refused access. Websites that carry hate speech (ones that talk about government corruption) will be censored for the betterment of society.

For the aspiring dictator, the Internet is a dangerous tool that has been seized by the enemy. We have come a long way since 1969, when the ARPANET was created solely for US government use. The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate the world under a global surveillance panopticon prison.

Rupert Murdoch's MySpace and its ceaseless promotion by the establishment media as the best thing since sliced bread is part of this movement. In saying all this we do encourage everyone to set up a MySpace account, but only if you're going to use it to bash MySpace, Rupert Murdoch and copy and paste this article right at the top of the page! See how long it is before your account is terminated.

Reorganizing my Life

This seems to be the easiest place to start. My semester is into its second half, and summer will be here soon. The two English classes I'm teaching and the Japanese class I'm taking will end.
I'm excited to live here in Pacific Beach for another summer.
Then I'm off to Japan and everything will be different for me.
I need to start facilitating change in my life:

The way my blogs were:
John Francis FitzGerald is the name of my father's father, and
the name of a blog of his poems.
My Messy Desk was started to teach my father some blogging.
Purely Drunken Ramblings started off just as it sounds, but became a collection of anything alcohol related.
Society's Downfall was my second blog and it was entirely just a collection of weird pictures people had e-mailed me or I'd found online.
Sumo was originally an excellent record of Japanese wrestling, but I stopped keeping up.
Teaching English in Japan hasn't been much, but it will.
Vegas is my dog's name and also the name of a blog filled with pictures of her. Pictures of other funny looking dogs began to creep in.
Wakazashi was my first blog, mostly oriented to my tattoos, reference material used as links for artists. Some interesting videos and music thrown in, some odd art, most of it all revolved around Asian influences, but it has also been a file for anything that interested me.

Things change.
The way my blogs shall be for the foreseeable future:
Wakazashi will keep its name, but I will aim to focus on Asian art.
The Dog Blog is the new name for my dog photos and all things canine.
Ryan's Japanese Adventure is the new name for Teaching English...
This change will simply broaden my topic range.
Sumo will be more exciting when I actually see real live matches.
Society's Downfall will keep it's name and purpose as a miscellaneous collection of all the weird things that are found or sent to me.
Pure Rambling is the new name for Purely Drunken Ramblings.
John Francis FitzGerald will remain as is.
Work Station Omega is the cool new name for My Messy Desk.
SamuRyan is my first and main MySpace account.
Ryan FitzGerald is my second. I use it for my students.
Tarfful is my third MySpace account, just for laughs.

For now, please enjoy your freedom among my blogs. This is the first time that all of my blogs have been linked. You may notice that there is a sort of hiearchy or funneling, this was set up in order to keep certain people from certain subjects. Comments are welcomed.
