The MassMedia and the chances for a PersonalBloggerSociety
I need to get something out of my head.
1 year ago I abondend TV. I have not read much newspapers before and look an any piece of "news" or "information" with a sceptical eye. I try to balance my view as much as I can by reading extreme right views extreme left views, center views, philosophical views and so on. The more independed I have grown from the One to Many communications the more I realized that there is a mass scale brainwashing going that robs the average citizen of their will. You know Brave New World kind of Soma Drug but the drug is the media. I know some people outright addicted by TV. They can not sit in my room for more then 30 minutes without demanding that I should get a satellite receiver. When I tell them that I do not want to watch TV anymore I get a blank stare of disbelieve. They are so addicted they can think of anything else then watching TV. I was addicted to it as well, in my younger years I was hanging out in front of it for 4 hours a day and couldn´t move on. When they shut off analog transmission it felt like they took away a drug. Now after one year I have no urge to watch TV anymore. Even the thought of it makes me shudder with all that wasted time. Yes there are "information" on TV that might be good but its soooo rare its not worth waiting for, and if you believe a 30 minute science broadcast is helping you understand the world I have to say: No. Its just one way the media is making even those who are smart and interested in the world also an addict. They reach out to everyone. Interestingly the media is controlling the public mind and TV is on its forefront. Of course the media will feature those politicians that will not do any regulations on them. Of course the media will invest big bugs in politicians that do not wake up the population. Ones the population woke up from the druggy dreams they would understand that there is another life out there. Something refreshing. Right now I would say that the One to Many traditional media (and I take the newspapers and magazin in this as well as with most of their coverage it aims at the same direction -> earning money, getting readers, brainwashing them making them addicts - left and right media the same in this regard) is in total control in the "western civilized world" what they believe is right will be going on. The politicians in charge are puppets of the media, because if something does not go according to their plan they will just unleash a hate campaign. Now who is really in charge of the media? Its a few people, a handfull that controls the big stations and newspapers and let me assure you they are talking on the phone at least ones a month on how to keep the addiction level of the mass population.
Now the only chance to get out of it is the net. Of course the media is starting to pollute it with their views and its disgusting to see that. The refreshing side of it is that blogs springing up everywhere who try to deal with their own view on the world. Indeed its something the big bosses will not understand fast enough. Human beings are about interacting. Human beings want to broadcast. They want to tell others what is going on around them. What their problems are what their dreams are what they see as a bright and positive future for them self. They do not want to be dictated what they ought to think.
The problem is that too many are already brainwashed. People watching TV for 50 years now. The young to old people ratio is tipping toward the older like my grandparents whos TV is on 12 hours a day. Or my parents whos TV is on 4 hours a day. I predict that there will be a big deep rip through society. The ones that woke up from the addiction and feel like the have slept their whole live and now want to change something and the others who will stay addicted until the end. The problem is that there is no chance that majority will wake up. The older people will likely not adapt to the nets many to many communication anymore. There are not enough young kids coming after that they would form a majority. This will be THE big issue of the next years and the rip will get deeper and deeper as further we will go down the timeline. The media will control the hords of druggies who will denounce everything the free minded people will say or do. It will be not long down the line until we are labelled "terrorists". And I have to say YES I AM A MEDIATERRORIST. DEATH TO TV.
Where do you stand my friend?

I support no canadates running because not one of them feel like I do.
"You have the right to total Freedom without government interference, as long as you respect the Freedoms of others."
But I also know when I smell rotten eggs and Bush has that smell and so dose someone else. You know Bush's skull and bones society brother John Kerry. I know as well as I feel most of America knows this is Bush's first and last term I really don't feel that it matters one way or the other what democrat gets the nomination they will win the election. But in my quest for true freedom I must choose some not so preferable routes to make it to my goal and this election the canadate I see that believes in the most freedoms is Howard Dean he isn't perfect no one is but when I have to choose who has a say in my freedoms I will always support the man that believes in more of our rights to freedom.
Here is some links about Skull and Bones Society now don't look at everyone of these and believe they are 100% true . Just start searching with a opened mind and ask yourself if you would want to vote for anyone that is linked to that society. If there really wasn't nothing to hide wouldn't you want to speak out and show that they are ALL lies? To me George and John are connected at the hip when it comes to there base belief.
April 27, 1962, JFK said, “The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers, which are cited to justify it.”

Internet kills TV?... It`s right that the comunication via the so called New Media have some advantages compared with TV. Internet-Comunication allowed a direct exchange between comunicator and recipient. The recipient takes a active role. Everybody can produce information in a simple way - that all over the world in realtime can be recieved. But what`s about the quality of information? What are the selection-criterions for the user? In my mind, TV- und Internet -Use similarly must be learned to make a competent use possible. People how consumes indifferent can loose "mind" in TV, but in Internet too! The simple Net-Production is currently cheeper and easyer to do, what makes Net more independent. But the plenty of information causes a more difficult navigation to find "right" information. Many people are overextended to afford that. The different skills in using and individual expectations making internet-community more to a class society as the smaller TVinformation -offer can do. In that way encourage Net individualization, what unfortunately leads to loss of solidarity between people inside a society. Don't understand it in a wrong way... on the other side the virtual reality produces new human relationships, that are not local-, traditional- or state- bonded. Net will in future obstain the state-system of mother earth, what means a economical and cultural globalization. That means loss of cultural identity and differences between people. A good example for preceding thesis is my doing this moment - I write in english!
The question is not TV or Net - but how to use it in a sensefull way!!!
The one and only presupposition is the political and monetary independence of media-producers. The danger of political Dependence increases with the prices of information-production, but that applies for Internet in the same way. The improving of Internet-Performances will in a few years also lead to a rise in price and consequently to a broadcast-centralizing to few people. Kapitalism stops at nothing!
Germany is a positive example for a different tv-landscape: The local third programs, open channels and the eu-community -productions arte and 3Sat are in my mind the best arguements for keeping TV.
