Example Of Media Perception Management  

Posted by Ryan in

Here are two articles that deal with the same subject from different points of view. Both obviously have the agenda of their own point of view. The problem with the articles is that one is merely reporting more with facts, and the other is using emotive language with selective information in order to exaggerate findings to suit their point of view under the guise of reporting a study's findings.

More varieties of sex please, we're British 

Whatever the BBC say, Britain is still mainly white, Christian and straight

     If you only read the first article you would be left with the impression that Britain is radically changing into something completely different. However, if you compare with the presentation of the second article you can see it is all a matter of selective information and language to push you to believe in an otherwise misleading conclusion.

Poison Is Added To You Water - Fluoride, Its Not What You Think  

Posted by Ryan in , , ,

    For along time now Americans have been convinced to add fluoride to our water to help our dental health. At least, this is what we were told. There is a much more to the story. Fluoride is not just a single chemical added to your water. There is more to it than the benevolence of those in charge, and the implications of the truth are scary for us who now have to begin to find out the lies.

Facebook Caught In A Lie  

Posted by Ryan in

  Recently Facebook was caught tracking their users internet activity even while logged off of Facebook. They defended themselves by claiming that tracking in this manner was not the intention of the program. That can be seen as an outright lie now that the patent has been found for the program responsible for causing the privacy concerns. 
See patent here: Communicating Information in a Social Network System about Activities from Another Domain

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method is described for tracking information about the activities of users of a social networking system while on another domain. The method includes maintaining a profile for each of one or more users of the social networking system, each profile identifying a connection to one or more other users of the social networking system and including information about the user. The method additionally includes receiving one or more communications from a third-party website having a different domain than the social network system, each message communicating an action taken by a user of the social networking system on the third-party website. The method additionally includes logging the actions taken on the third-party website in the social networking system, each logged action including information about the action. The method further includes correlating the logged actions with one or more advertisements presented to the one or more users on the third-party website as well as correlating the logged actions with a user of the social networking system.
 After reading the abstract (above) and the details (full text) it is hard to believe that it wasn't the intentions of Facebook to track all of a users internet traffic. This just adds to the repeated lies from Facebook about users privacy concerns.
     Everything done online can and will be used against us in some way, somehow.

The Reality Of Western Supported Democracy In The Middle East  

Posted by Ryan

When You watch this report from Libya the most important points that the corespondent from Libya is saying is the reality of their being no real democracy, only long term military struggles. As the society is destabilized the western governments and corporations are taking the time to secure resources and contracts within these countries. The western governments are only replacing governments and social orders to create chaos, and as the dust settles just as in the past the west will own these countries. Most of the supporters of these revolutions do so because of the facade of the people getting their voices heard and desired democracy. The only governments that will be able to survive this chaos will have to be compliant with the business that is currently moving in. The story stays the same all through history.

I think this guy was listening in on my rants(except for the Ron Paul message). Will the mainstream media give someone with this message time on the air or just the anti-capitalists that are protesting.

Innocent Hondurans Killed For The Climate  

Posted by Ryan in , ,

     Here is another example of the horrors that are being carried out in the name of climate change. Another company is in hot water over the killing of innocents in order to secure land for carbon credit schemes. See my earlier article on the recent news about Ugandans being treated in a similar manner.

EU carbon credits scheme tarnished by alleged murders in Honduras
Calls for Honduran credits to be thrown out of ETS following alleged killings, while consultation process goes under review

Arthur Neslen for EurActiv, part of the Guardian Environment Network 
guardian.co.uk,

The reported killing of 23 Honduran farmers in a dispute with the owners of UN-accredited palm oil plantations has called into question the integrity of the EU's emission trading scheme (ETS), as carbon credits from the plantations remain on sale.

In Brussels, Green MEP Bas Eickhout called the alleged human rights abuses "a disgrace", and told EurActiv he would be pushing the European Commission to bar carbon credits from the plantations from being traded under the ETS. Several members of the CDM board have been "personally distressed" by the events in Bajo Aguán, northern Honduras, according to the board's chairman, Martin Hession, and have placed under review the CDM's stakeholder consultation process.

"Plainly, the events that have been described are deplorable," said Hession. "There is no excuse for them." But because they took place after the CDM's stakeholder consultations had been held, and fell outside the board's primary remit to investigate emissions reductions and environmental impacts, it had been powerless to block project registrations.

At the heart of the issue are the reported murders of 23 local farmers who tried to recover land that they say was illegally sold to big palm oil plantations, such as Grupo Dinant, in a country scarred by widespread human rights abuses.

In July, a report by an international fact-finding mission was presented to the European Parliament's human rights sub-committee, alleging that 23 farmers, one journalist and his partner, had all been murdered in the Bajo Aguán region between January 2010 and March 2011.

The alleged killings were facilitated by the "direct involvement of private security guards from some of the local companies who are complicit with police and military officials", the report said. In some cases it cited "feigned accidents" in which farmers were run over by security guards working for palm oil businessmen. In other cases, the farmers were simply shot, or had "disappeared"....

Charities like the Lutheran World Federation are particularly concerned, as they say the situation in Bajo Aguán is deteriorating. "There are worrying signs that the Honduran government is moving 1,200 police officers and military personnel into the area," said Toni Sandell, a rights worker with Christian NGO Aprodev.
Other human rights workers in the region claim linkages between Honduran state forces and the landowner's militias they protect, which are said to have connections to local drug traffickers.

The Daily Bell - Blaming Wall Street Is Wrong  

Posted by Ryan

Here is another explanation of where the heart of the problem with the banks lie. It is not necessarily Wall Street, but the Central Banks - our Federal Reserve at the of creating the problem.

The Daily Bell - Blaming Wall Street Is Wrong

Co-Opting Of Occupy Wall Street  

Posted by Ryan in , , ,

     The protestors that have taken to the streets in Wall Street and around the country have noble intentions, speaking to the problems of the rich and bankers oppressing the people. However most of them being leftest in their views, I was willing to put that aside to see if these messages could be spread to a wider audience.
     My questions and concerns grew when the presence of more and more celebrities were seen on the streets to support the protestors. Through various means Hollywood and the music industry can reign in their celebrities if need be, so the more celebrities that show, the more caution that needs to be taken. The worst instance of which was the video which was shot of Michael Moore's words at the Occupy Wall Street protests this past week. He was asked of his feelings of the Federal Reserve, and responded that the problem does not lie with the Fed but with Capitalism itself. He then went on to call for the end of capitalism as he has in his most recent of documentary.
     The real problem with the economy is the fact that our banking system and government has driven our economy into so much debt that for a very long time our system has only been able to exist by going deeper into debt. As debt increases the more money of ours that the government has to take in order to payoff the interest incurred and loans needed to keep feeding the banking system.
     As the disturbing arrests of hundreds of protestors in New York were taking place yesterday the protests were spreading to other cities. The message is being spread and becoming more transparent. There is more media that are going out to these protests in order to ask the protestors why they are there. As they scream about how horrible the economy has become as of late, there was an unusual amount of protestors calling for the re-election of President Obama. The protestors are demanding the taxation of who they perceive as rich, and the passing of such plans support by Obama. The true problem with such ideas the missing facts of taxation of the rich. For example, the high taxation of someone making around $200,000 as Obama's plan calls for will only serve to damage the tax payer but never raise enough money to fix the debt crisis. The true hole in the taxation codes are the massive waivers given to giant corporations (article showing some of the history of these tax breaks). Even thou the debt problem is already reached dire proportions you can't begin to understand the problem until you can see this. 

      These messages are coming out as their seems to be more involvement from groups like Moveon.org talking about and promoting the protests. Moveon.og has a known history of being partially funded by the big Wall Street name of George Soros. When you see George Soros interests involved and also look at the reality of calling for the re-election of President Obama you see the interest of these Wall Street bankers being promoted there is major concern the these interests are co-opting the protestors. As the co-opting occurs the general message of identifying Wall Street as the enemies of the people is being replaced by a political message supporting politicians with a pro-banking policy followed by near socialistic demands upon the government.
    I have been putting off the publication of this article to hear more about what the protestors are asking for. As the mainstream media is starting to follow these previously mentioned demands, the word on the street from alternative media sources is that the majority of the protestors on the streets do know the true problem is with the Federal Reserve creating the problems in the economy which has led to the government taxing the people for the banks benefit. However good that the true grassroots message is alive with the majority of the protestors, it will end up being the message of the ones that are supporting more communistic ideas of wealth redistribution that will get attention from the media.
     It is up to these protestors that are amongst these socialist to continue to educate them in the hopes that the Occupy Wall Street movement will develop into the occupy the Federal Reserve protest. The only way to combat this issue is to go after the heart of the problem. Hopefully we will not be dragged down in another George Soros funded U.S. government directed color revolution. If we drop these socialistic demands and focus on attacking the heart of the problem, The Federal Reserve, this could develop into a movement with the proper direction to make real change.Otherwise we will find ourselves with a government granted more power to control our lives and feed money to the bankers. Thus completely undermining the initial intent of the protestors.

Here is a film that helps to show the problems with the American banking system:





Update 10/6/11: Now that the left is putting effort behind the co-opting the movement the media coverage has sky-rocketed! The Co-opters have submitted their list of demands with no mention of the problems with the Federal Reserve, completely ignoring the heart of the problem.

The Internet Is Watching You  

Posted by Ryan in

 Here is just a little update on the internet security issues that were brought up recently.

Internet firms co-opted for surveillance: expert
Georgina Prodhan
(Reuters) - Internet companies such as Google, Twitter and Facebook are increasingly co-opted for surveillance work as the information they gather proves irresistible to law enforcement agencies, Web experts said this week.
Although such companies try to keep their users' information private, their business models depend on exploiting it to sell targeted advertising, and when governments demand they hand it over, they have little choice but to comply. 
Suggestions that BlackBerry maker RIM might give user data to British police after its messenger service was used to coordinate riots this summer caused outrage -- as has the spying on social media users by more oppressive governments.
But the vast amount of personal information that companies like Google collect to run their businesses has become simply too valuable for police and governments to ignore, delegates to the Internet Governance Forum in Nairobi said.
"When the possibility exists for information to be obtained that wasn't possible before, it's entirely understandable that law enforcement is interested," Google's Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf told Reuters in an interview.
"Then the issue would be, what's the right policy? And that, or course, engenders a lot of debate," said Cerf, who is recognized as one of the "fathers of the Internet" for his early work in areas including communications protocols and email.
Demands from governments for Internet companies to hand over user information have become routine, according to online privacy researcher and activist Christopher Soghoian, who makes extensive use of freedom-of-information requests in his work.
"Every decent-sized U.S. telecoms and Internet company has a team that does nothing but respond to requests for information," Soghoian told Reuters in an interview.
Soghoian estimates that U.S. Internet and telecoms companies may receive about 300,000 such requests in connection with law enforcement each year -- but public information is scarce.
While U.S. courts are obliged to publish reports on wire-tapping of telephone lines, no similar information is required to be made public with respect to the Internet -- which grew up after the laws on electronic communications were passed.
Google does voluntarily publish a transparency report every six months in which it details the number of requests it receives from governments around the world to remove content from its services or hand over user data.
But the numbers do not reveal how many users are affected by each request -- only trends country by country (www.google.com/transparencyreport).
Some governments are requiring Internet companies to collect more data and keep it for longer, said Katarzyna Szymielewicz, executive director of Poland's Panoptykon Foundation, which campaigns for human rights in light of modern surveillance.
"Government agencies throughout the world are pushing companies to collect even more data than is needed for their business purposes," she told the conference.
"For example, we have a very controversial data retention regime which is currently under review. This requires people to store data for a period up to two years so it can easily be accessed by law enforcement agencies."
The ease and cost of surveillance are at an all-time low, Soghoian said, with Google charging an administrative fee of $25 to hand over data, Yahoo charging $20, and Microsoft and Facebook providing data for free.
"Now, one police officer from the comfort of their desk can track 20, 30, 50 people all through Web interfaces provided by mobile companies and cloud computing companies," he said.
"The marginal cost of surveilling one more person is now essentially approaching zero."

Did The NYPD Lose Their Patients  

Posted by Ryan in , ,

     There is questions whether or not the police seemed to trick the protestors into thinking they were allowed to use the roadway, and took the lack of communication to their advantage. The people have the right to protest, and the police have the responsibility as public servants to communicate their needs to these protestors. I know as a veteran of New York City protests, that legitimate protestors desire to get their message heard, and not arrested. If the police communicate their needs to the protestors, they will do the best they can to stay in the right. If the protestors story pans out to be accurate, this will be one of the worst cases of police abuse and stifling of freedom of speech in our history! 
 
Police Arrest More Than 700 Protesters on Brooklyn Bridge
By AL BAKER and COLIN MOYNIHAN

Updated, 11:55 p.m. | In a tense showdown above the East River, the police arrested more than 700 demonstrators from the Occupy Wall Street protests who took to the roadway as they tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
The police did not immediately release precise arrest figures, but said it was the choice of those marchers that led to the swift enforcement.
“Protesters who used the Brooklyn Bridge walkway were not arrested,” said the head police spokesman, Paul J. Browne. “Those who took over the Brooklyn-bound roadway, and impeded vehicle traffic, were arrested.”
But many protesters said that they thought the police had tricked and trapped them, allowing them onto the bridge and even escorting them across, only to surround them in orange netting after hundreds of them had entered.
“The cops watched and did nothing, indeed, seemed to guide us onto the roadway,” said Jesse A. Myerson, a media coordinator for Occupy Wall Street who was in the march but was not arrested.
Things came to a head shortly after 4 p.m., as the 1,500 or so marchers reached the foot of the Brooklyn-bound car lanes of the bridge, just east of City Hall.
In their march north from Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan — headquarters for the last two weeks of a protest movement against what demonstrators call inequities in the economic system — they had stayed on the sidewalks, forming a long column of humanity penned in by officers on scooters.
Where the entrance to the bridge narrowed their path, some marchers, including organizers, stuck to the generally agreed-upon route and headed up onto the wooden walkway that runs between and about 15 feet above the bridge’s traffic lanes.
But about 20 others headed for the Brooklyn-bound roadway, said Christopher T. Dunn of the New York Civil Liberties Union, who accompanied the march. Some of them chanted “take the bridge.” They were met by a handful of high-level police supervisors, who blocked the way and announced repeatedly through bullhorns that the marchers were blocking the roadway and that if they continued to do so, they would be subject to arrest.
There were no physical barriers, though, and at one point, the marchers began walking up the roadway with the police commanders in front of them – seeming, from a distance, as if they were leading the way. The Chief of Department Joseph J. Esposito, and a horde of other white-shirted commanders, were among them.
Ozier Muhammad/The New York TimesPolice secured some protesters’ hands with plastic ties.
After allowing the protesters to walk about a third of the way to Brooklyn, the police then cut the marchers off and surrounded them with orange nets on both sides, trapping hundreds of people, said Mr. Dunn. As protesters at times chanted “white shirts, white shirts,” officers began making arrests, at one point plunging briefly into the crowd to grab a man.
The police said that those arrested were taken to several police stations and were being charged with disorderly conduct, at a minimum.
A freelance reporter for The New York Times, Natasha Lennard, was among those arrested. She was later released.
Mr. Dunn said he was concerned that those in the back of the column who might not have heard the warnings “would have had no idea that it was not O.K. to walk on the roadway of the bridge.” Mr. Browne said that people who were in the rear of the crowd that may not have heard the warnings were not arrested and were free to leave.
Earlier in the afternoon, as many as 10 Department of Correction buses, big enough to hold 20 prisoners apiece, had been dispatched from Rikers Island in what one law enforcement official said was “a planned move on the protesters.”
Etan Ben-Ami, 56, a psychotherapist from Brooklyn who was up on the walkway, said that the police seemed to make a conscious decision to allow the protesters to claim the road. “They weren’t pushed back,” he said. “It seemed that they moved at the same time.”
Mr. Ben-Ami said he left the walkway and joined the crowd on the road. “It seemed completely permitted,” he said. “There wasn’t a single policeman saying ‘don’t do this’.”
He added: “We thought they were escorting us because they wanted us to be safe.” He left the bridge when he saw officers unrolling the nets as they prepared to make arrests. Many others who had been on the roadway were allowed to walk back down to Manhattan.
Mr. Browne said that the police did not trick the protesters into going onto the bridge.
“This was not a trap,” he said. “They were warned not to proceed.”
In related protests elsewhere in the country, 25 people were arrested in Boston for trespassing while protesting Bank of America’s foreclosure practices, according to Eddy Chrispin, a spokesman for the Boston Police Department. The protesters were on the grounds and blocking the entrance to the building, Mr. Chrispin said.
Natasha Lennard, William K. Rashbaum and Elizabeth A. Harris contributed reporting.
