Imagine How Much "They" Hate the Internet

"They" are the people in power. Not just the government, but Big business, Big Banking, Wall Street, and Corporations.

For centuries their secrets were held amongst themselves, and anyone who told those secrets was dealt with... harshly. Everyday now it seems that you can easily glean some new information on the internet about those in power, that those in power do not want you to know.

When we had false body counts going on in Vietnam to make it look like we were winning, and to prolong that war, we didn't find out the truth until many returning Soldiers and Marines exposed that lie. Sadly, it actually took years of these first-hand reports before the majority of Americans believed them.

Think back to the 1970s when small "subversive" groups started telling us about things like the Trilateral Commission. Well, those reports were passed around on cheap looking pamphlets or mimeographed sheets of paper. Most people blew the story of this commission off as bunk from some goofy group of radicals. Well, today the Trilateral Commission has their own web page: www.trilateral.org
Here is how their page starts out:

Welcome to the web site of the Trilateral Commission. The Commission was originally created in 1973 to bring together experienced leaders within the private sector to discuss issues of global concern at a time when communication and cooperation between Europe, North America, and Asia were lacking. The Commission has grown since its early days to include members from more countries in these regions, and it continues to find that study and dialogue about the pressing problems facing our planet remain as important today as in 1973. Problems and threats have changed, but their importance has only increased due to the more interconnected and interdependent world in which we now live.

When you read the history of this group on their web page, you see it was started in 1973 with David Rockefeller as one of the founders, just like those crude pamphlets and mimeographed pages told us.

Today it is hard, maybe almost impossible to keep your group secret because of the internet. Even if the people looking into what you do are under funded, they can put together a credible looking web page that exposes your group, your Bank, corporation, or government agency and what some think are your nefarious practices.

Also, where one is looking into something, there are probably others, and a search of the internet can bring these people together in seconds. They can pool their knowledge and give each other encouragement.

So, what does this boil down to? Well, it boils down to the fact that our government and those corporations, banks, and any other group in power are going to try to curb the information we can now so readily find on the Internet. I am sure they look at this as self preservation.

People in power want to stay in power. When their suspect practices are told to the world, many times they have to change what they are doing, and that might cost them money or power, the two things they do not want to lose.

You watch. In the years to come there will be all sorts of calls to close down the information we can get for free from the internet today. There will be all sorts of good reasons. The words terrorism, subversion, freedom, and even liberty will be bandied around in their argument, and they will try and convince America and the world that we will all be more secure with less knowledge.
