I helped Facebook build the Platform, even going so far as convincing Dave Morin to leave Apple and work on it, because I was worried about evils of Murdoch. So trust me, I know all about exactly what you cited.

Facebook is a very different sort of devil. To the point where all of the other devils are afraid of them. Even I didn’t realize how insane these people were, and continue to be. They’d be toast by now, if they hadn’t been able to successfully hijack the governmental and political machines to keep themselves seen as “essential” and worthy of protection — there’s that Death Star at work.

I know, I need to write about this in more detail. It’s on my to-do list. I have spent a long time waiting to see if society would figure out what a giant scam these people were — I am pleasantly surprised. You’ve got to remember that, 10 years ago, people wanted to nominate those lunatics for the Nobel Peace Prize. Being an enemy of Facebook was equivalent to being an enemy of the state.

You could nuke Facebook from orbit right now and nothing would change. The media would move on to their next target.

Society has not figured out shit. It is doing the same thing it always does, lap up the Manufactured Consent being pushed out by these media organizations.

The press is the enemy. Facebook and their execs have no power. They are completely beholden to the media and their lackeys in the government.

Indeed, the role, if not the entire existence, of the war media of which FB is now a part is predicated upon the inherently hazardous (to socialists overseas, but ultimately to domestic patriots as well) military-political system we've allowed to fester in USA.
