Again, these bastards...I swear to god sometimes the worst thing to happen to the press (not to the soldiers, the countries, the civilians, their tragedy obviously far worse) was the Vietnam war. There, the government learned the new power of the mass media, and just like cops learned from marches in the sixties, learned how to neutralize their effectiveness, so too did the government learn the power of the media, and ever since...we have had forty years of the government learning how to constrict the press, keep them away, keep out the photos that move hearts and minds, render them ineffective...I am so fed up with the information control, not only in this situation, but every situation...keep the people uninformed because if they knew what was going on, really understood...the government couldn't handle it.
The feds and the corporations don't need to stop their bullshit ways, this was never an option. They only had to learn how to keep everyone from learning exactly what it is they were doing, that was enough. That is all.
Is the death gyre true?
Maybe, maybe not...but by preventing pictures, preventing accounts, the government has done its job, they only need to make sure that nobody knows for sure.... Doubt, prevents action.
