    Did you notice that I put " " around the word free? That in itself implies skepticism. Of course part of being free means that you have the right to post your opinion. My stance may not be as radical as yours, but I do agree with you in principle, and I think we need more Edward Snowden's. Unfortunately most people in his position with the knowledge of how deep the rabbit hole goes are too afraid of Big Brother to go public. With that said, I'm pissed at you for misinterpreting my post. Now, at the risk of misinterpreting something myself, are you implying that there are no terrorists to fight? The families of at least 3000 people in NYC would disagree with you, as well as in London, Paris, Ft Hood, TX, Kenya, Iraq, Syria, Libya and many more places.

    Probably fewer than the media would like us to believe, in any case.

    This guy! I like you even more now happy dude :) Sorry if I caused any offense, I was only looking to spread what Knowledge I know and learn what I don't know. No, I didn't really notice the inverted commas, or maybe I did and I was just carelessly reading due to my excitement of seeing fellow 'truth seekers' such as yourself and scarlet... So once again sorry, my bad. I guess we don't really disagree on much after all, although I may be speaking to soon hahaha. Now, with your 'interpretation' or 'misinterpretation' of my comment, I'd just like to say I'm SO glad you brought up that point to avoid confusion, and so that I can elaborate. Yes there are many other places in which 'terrorist' attacks have happened and I'm pleased to see you've mentioned that. The reason I'm using the word terrorism in inverted commas maybe something you find 'radical' once again, but I'll do my best to explain. In today's society there's this misconception that links the word terrorism with Islam without a second thought, by the vast majority, who in fact don't know the true meaning of the words, and in the case of islam, what is supposed to be the true meaning. People believe any lies the media spews at them and I find it sad, and when lies like the ones told about roughly a billion people on earth are told, it makes me sick. The fact that Muslims are looked down on and talked about in such a negative way because of the actions of the extremists is really sad because in the 'Muslim' world where this terrorism is going on, people seem to forget that it is largely Muslims that suffer. This is not to say nobody else suffers, but the irony is that Muslims are seen as 'evil' when they're suffering most. Majority of the massacres that have occurred in the Middle East and as such are by dictators who have no Islamic motives whatsoever, but the media doesn't tell you that, or about other heinous war crimes such as the illegal occupation of Palestine by the Zionist state Israel, which most Jews (REAL Jews) actually condemn. So why not? I believe that groups that are branded 'terrorists' are all funded by the 'puppet masters', who I believe are also known as zionists (NOT Jews). These people for years have had the same tactic of divide and conquer, and can pull it off with ease thanks to their greatest weapons, the media, and the 'brainwashed' public. Groups such as Isis, alqaeda and boko haram are all blood thirsty monsters, and I honestly believe that, but how many of the 1 billion Muslims believe that? I can assure you none of the ones I have come across believe these groups are right and I've met many Muslims. Now, swiftly moving on to the attacks on the west, which are more 'relevant' to us. I think wether or not the 'elite' are behind these attacks, using these so called extremists, or if these guys were genuinely nut jobs who misinterpreted the Quran, is irrelevant. It doesn't matter to me if the conspiracies that say there wasn't really a plane hitting the world trade centre, or there was explosives already planted there or on the buses in London are true. My point is with all this technology and big brother (as you mentioned) spying on the public, surely something could have been done to prevent the attacks. Government officials came out and said they had known about these attacks from before hand and were 'sorry' for not acting quick enough. If you ask any of the people who knew the London 'bombers', they'll tell you they're certain that they didn't have any involvement in the attacks and that they were normal university students who were setup. Oh and these are largely white Christians saying this about them. I don't usually mention this to anyone, but the reason this topic is so dear to me, is because I lost a loved one in the London bombings and I won't allow his death, or anyone who was murdered in any of these attacks to have died in vain or be incorrectly talked about as victims of 'Islamic attack'. The real killers should be made to pay and the truth shall prevail.

    I don't believe I said anything about muslims in my post, but since the subject was brought up, I'm fully aware that the religion as a whole are kind, peace-loving people. Unfortunately, there is a minority of radical extremists (A term the current administration seems unwilling to mention) that are causing quite a shit-storm more or less worldwide. They are giving the Islamic religion as a whole more bad press than the Westboro Baptist "Church" is bringing to Christians. And I agree that fellow muslims have borne the brunt of these vile extremists who seem to want to turn the clock back 1000 years. Some of this stuff is as nasty as what the Mexican drug cartels are doing. I don't agree, though, that there's an "elite" pulling the strings behind the scenes here. But maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. I don't trust politicians, and that includes all of them, from any party. As for the beheading in Oklahoma and hatchet attack on the NYC police officers, I believe they were carried out by mentally ill people whose psychoses centered around Islamic extremism. For some nuts it's flying saucers. I won't get into any conspiracy theory stuff, but yes, there was intelligence information that an attack from Al Qaeda was imminent. Maybe not specifically on 9/11, but imminent. The only "conspiracy" I personally believe in is that I believe flight 93 was shot down, and not caused by a passenger revolt. Debris was found several miles from the crash site, and that's not consistent (in my opinion) with a sudden descent and impact with the ground. I believe it was shot down and a heroic-sounding cover story, complete with the "battle cry" of "Let's Roll!" was concocted, because they didn't believe the public could handle the truth. I could have handled it. I wouldn't have liked it, but I would have understood the reasoning behind it. The Pentagon had already been hit, and this aircraft had turned around and was presumably headed toward Wash. D.C. With what had already happened, what else could they do? But I don't want to get into any other discussion about inside jobs or remote-controlled airliners, because I believe it's a bunch of tinfoil hat garbage and it just gives me a headache.

    We have all been beings of the internet since the beginning. Funghi are the intelligent connectors/coordinators of life as a community organism. The wired net is our flashy facsimile.

    Community organism. Well, I don't know. An organism at odds with itself maybe.

    the internet could go down permanently and completely, should something sufficiently traumatic happen to the near totality of our species, unless completely self maintaining servers are launched into orbit, where is such a thing were to happen, no one would be able to physically sabotage and disable them.

    people are just goofy enough, then some of them would try to blame whatever happens on it.

    now sapient beings that exist completely as software constructs, i don't know, i think we're still along way from even the net having the capacity to support that. the net as it exists now, on this earth.

    but i don't know that, and i do find the idea interesting at the very least.

    the shell does not create the ghosts in it, but were the capacity to exist to host them, then there would be nothing to stop one or more from doing so. i wouldn't mind becoming one of them when my physical form becomes dysfunctional.

    i believe there might even be, such an image of myself, of which this one of myself living here on this earth may even be a low grade copy, or degraded by the limitations of its host, meaning my physical body, not in some cloud on THIS internet, but something much like it, in a system on an artificial world, that is the hub of an intergalactic community. one upon which i may, in some previous life, have served in some elected capacity.

    I mean, Social Media as truth? SM is just a reprint of the same thing over and over again. Someone post something, then someone else forwards it, someone puts it on FB then .......... on and on.

    Like the game where you start of by telling someone a statement then they "repeat" it to someone. Then the next and so on down the line and by the the last person the statement is not the one that started, but a totally new phrase maybe consisting of parts of the originally statement.

    IMO the only truth teller I have found in regard to "news" is John Pilger. If you don't know him, you tube him my friend

    The internet is so vast and you can find anything you want, but in the same breath it is also a propaganda and marketing machine to direct you to what "THEY" want you to see.
    All you need to do is go to a news site, lets pick on yahoo. There is no "NEWS" just adds and Kim Kardashian or Mylie Cyrus or "How to loose weight, fast" or "Don't do this on your diet" or If you eat this before your workout then..." "How to have a lasting relationship" and so on.

    It is being used to create robots, just look around the next time your in a public place, Gap, Nike, Addidas, Bulls, lakers etc etc and Facebook.

    There is no security or safety anymore, every website tracks you and you are lucky if you get a "this site wants to ask your location" question

    Children have no food for a school lunch but they have the latest Nike Air Jordans on or a Bulls Jersey and an Iphone though

    The only true Truth is Nature, even "we" as an "independent, free thinking Species" are not free and true even when we think we are. No amount of "namaste" will save you to that fact

    Granted it is the technological age and the internet is needed, but the way we use it depends on how stubborn we are to the "Scam" that it is

    Love the analogy.

    There is a you tube video about the "Magical Forest" which shows the way The forest relies on the fungi "fingers" for information
