Thread: Google warns UN's telecom treaty conference threatens 'free and open Internet'

Like I keep saying, perhaps 90+% of people (99% for Democrats) never take the time to research anything. Instead, they believe what they see on the web and hear from friends. When the world is in a state of information overload, as we currently are, that is a dangerous concept.

The flip side is that no one trusts their government enough to allow them to filter information. Information will always turn into propaganda when the government control it.

I have come to conclude that around 80% want to be lied to. Hope is convenient. More than reality. When hope fails, they get bitter and need to lash out. Then they turn to conspiracy sites talking about Obama really being a reptilian. In other words: You have 2 lies and they pick one.

It reminds me a few conspiracy theorists talking about RDIF and the final goal of the elite. At first you don't want to believe it because you think it is exageration and immoral, then one day in the news you learn that:

Tagged like sheeples...Pretty outrageous if you want my opinion.

I always look at the effect an article might have and very often it sidetracks. To me it is simple: Money rules. If money is accepted by a candidate he serves another master. And it doesn't really matter what political values he claims to have in public.

There is no political values these days, they are all except a few bought buy different masters. Perhaps you have to look one step above political parties to understand who really control the system...the golden rule is so effetive that people foget about it.
