Huxley Was Right

No small piece of video has ever fueled the urge to punch someone continuously in the balls as this:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Now they want details of everything you've done in your life to date so that in the click of a button, reports can be generated of all your actions since birth.

Aside from marketing firms and intelligence agencies - Who really needs this?

Have we become this impersonal, voyeuristic and exhibitionist?

One thing I hope many appreciate before they mindlessly segue into virtual reality is LIFE. Real life, not a series of dots in the virtual realm. Facebook is on its way to publishing every moment of our lives automatically. As younger generations (and the yet to be born) grow up with this integrated right into their lives, this is truly a revolution in the destruction of privacy and the future generation's view of privacy.

Human life should be more than a series of inane little stories. It's about real interaction in the REAL world, not quickly running through every event that took place in your neighbor's life.

Viewing and interacting in things suggested to you by "friends" and search engines based on your "likes" and frequent clicks is the equivalent of friendly censorship.

Facebook Integration with an ever-growing amount of web applications means EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE will be publicly monitored.

Censorship by Omission

Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land U.S. Media & the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict provides much clear evidence that the media game is rigged against Arabs in the United States. This video illustrates how (aside from the vast abundance of financial and military support (by way of weapons) the United States showers onto Israel in aid of the Palestinian genocide) PERHAPS THE MOST CRITICAL AID is the one-sided spin of misrepresentation that American mainstream media dishes out to keep citizens here ignorant and complacent.

After all, if the majority of Americans knew the atrocities and war crimes being committed constantly by Israel onto the Palestinian people, they might have a problem with things - like for example ,the U.S. grants and loan guarantees to Israel for fiscal 1997 was $5,525,800,000.

Shirl McArthur wrote in the May 2003 issue of Washington Report.*

McArthur's article, "A Conservative Tally of Total Direct U.S. Aid to Israel: $97.5 Billion - and Counting" tallies the hidden costs, such as interest lost due to the early disbursement of aid to Israel and funds hidden in other accounts. For example, Israel received $5.45 billion in Defense Department funding of Israeli weapons projects through 2002, McArthur says.

Loans made to Israel by the U.S. government, like the recently awarded $9 billion, invariably wind up being paid by the American taxpayer. A recent Congressional Research Service report indicates that Israel has received $42 billion in waived loans. "Therefore, it is reasonable to consider all government loans to Israel the same as grants," McArthur says.

Support for Israel has cost America dearly - well over than $10,000 per American.*

This seems to play out as a major motive for Israel to manipulate and distorts American public perceptions. The United States has been considered Israel's most powerful and supportive ally and accounts for around 25% of Israel's military occupation (and genocide) of Palestine.

Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how--through the use of language, framing and context--the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied territories appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one.

If you don't have time to watch the entire film, at least take a careful look at 48:08 - 50:05 in the film. This is one instance (amongst many others in the film) very clear picture of how Israel's American PR Campaign works their magic in our media and therefore understanding of the situation:
48:08 - 50:05
