What the Media Choose Not to Know about Trayvon
Unnerved by an unspoken mix of political bias and racial queasiness, the major media have chosen to know as little about Trayvon Martin as they know about Barack Obama.

As a case in point, consider this boy vs. man fable spun by the New York Times’ Charles Blow:

The election of Barack Obama ushered in the use of political networking that hadn’t been seen before.
Amazingly, the message failed to register in the minds of the Republican candidates vying for votes as nominees. Instead of recognizing the potential that the Obama campaign exploited, Republican contenders have been raising huge capital contributions to support traditional speaking engagements and TV ads.
Even more amazing has been the recognition by the youth in both the Arab spring and in the American Occupy campaigns to use the Obama network success.
If, as Marshall McLuhan believed, “The media is the message”, it becomes imperative to fully understand networking as media with a message, especially when it comes to politics in large numbers.

Censorship (Photo credit: IsaacMao)
Facebook pays low-wage foreign workers to delete certain content based upon a censorship list. For example, Facebook deletes accounts created by Palestinian resistance groups.
Digg was caught censoring stories which were controversial or too critical of the government. See this andthis.
Now, even social media site Reddit – which helped launch the anti-Sopa Internet blackout and publicize GoDaddy’s slimy Sopa support – is doing the same thing.
As just one example, posts from this website are being censored by Reddit. Specifically, a friend of this site who has submitted stories to Reddit has received the following messages of rejection from a Reddit moderator named davidreiss666:

DHS Creates Accounts Solely to Monitor Social Networks
DHS Creates Accounts Solely to Monitor Social Networks
ABC News ^ | December 28, 2011 | OLIVIA KATRANDJIAN

An online privacy group is suing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security accusing it of not releasing records from the agency’s covert surveillance of Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites.
The DHS creates accounts solely to monitor social media sites and establish a system of records of the information gathered. The agency does not post information, seek to connect with other users, accept invitations to connect or interact with others according to a statement on their website.
The agency scans social media sites for a list of words that include “dirty bomb,” “hostage,” “exercise,” “task force,” “explosion,” “lockdown,” “riot,” “nuclear threat,” “brown out,” “meth lab,” “cain and abel” and “brute forcing.”
Several countries and cities, including North Korea and Mexico, are also flagged as key words.
In a statement, the DHS said that the National Operations Center (NOC) “will gather, store, analyze, and disseminate relevant and appropriate de-identified information to federal, state, local, and foreign governments, and private sector partners authorized to receive situational awareness and a common operating picture,” said the statement.
In April 2011, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) requested records from the DHS of the agency’s social network monitoring program. The agency has an obligation to locate the records and notify the requestor if the records are available for release.

The Federal Reserve Plans To Identify ‘Key Bloggers’ and Monitor Billions of Conversations About the Fed on Facebook, Twitter, Forums and Blogs

“The intent is to establish a fair and equitable partnership with a market leader who will who gather data from various social media outlets and news sources and provide applicable reporting to FRBNY. This Request for Proposal (“RFP“) was created in an effort to support FRBNY’s Social Media Listening Platforms initiative.”
A system like this is not cheap. Apparently the Federal Reserve Bank of New York believes that gathering all of this information is very important. In recent years, criticism of the Federal Reserve has become very intense, and most of this criticism has been coming from the Internet. It has gotten to the point where the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has decided that it had better listen to what is being said and find out who is saying it.
“Social media listening platforms are solutions that gather data from various social media outlets and news sources. They monitor billions of conversations and generate text analytics based on predefined criteria. They can also determine the sentiment of a speaker or writer with respect to some topic or document.”

Prison Planet.com » UK Riots: Gov’t Mulls Kill Switch For Twitter & Facebook, Army On Streets
The British government has today suggested that it is working with the intelligence agencies on a way of shutting down at will social media websites including Twitter, claiming that they were used by looters to organise and avoid police during the riots in London and elsewhere in the UK.
“Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill.” Prime Minister David Cameron said during today’s emergency meeting of Parliament.
“Everyone watching these horrific actions will be struck by how they were organised via social media.” Cameron said.
“We are working with the police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality.” The Prime Minister added, without going into detail concerning how a block on such services would be applied.
During later questions to the Prime Minister, he suggested that government was considering whether it was feasible “to give the police the technology to trace people on Twitter or BBM or close it down”.
Cameron also announced that the home secretary will meet with representatives of Facebook, Twitter, and BlackBerry concerning the “responsibility” those companies have in preventing incitements to violence.
Although the notion that social media was used as a tool by rioters has been repeated ad infinitum by the media this week, the evidence to back up the claim is hard to find.
In the absence of such evidence, the government has suggested that misinformation and untruths spread on Twitter also constituted cause to consider a kill switch option.
Police have suggested that BlackBerry’s closed network Messenger service was used heavily by looters, with sources within the company having already revealed that Blackberry is “engaged with the authorities to assist in any way we can”.
Government eavesdroppers at the super secret Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) are reportedly working to provide police with information on the suspected rioters gleaned from messages they sent over the network.

Obama Regime Software Creates Fake Online Propaganda Profiles
“The contract calls for the development of ‘Persona Management Software’ which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online.
The job listing was discussed in recently leaked e-mails from the private security firm HBGary after an attack by internet activist last week.
According to the contract, the software would ‘protect the identity of government agencies‘ by employing a number of false signals to convince users that the poster is in fact a real person.
A single user could manage unique background information and status updates for up to 10 fake people from a single computer.”I don’t know if this was part of the high-tech dinner agenda that Obama had last week with the guys from Google; Steve Jobs from Apple was there.
Obviously this activity predates the dinner. So I don’t know if the dinner was about this or not. But are you surprised at all? Are you surprised that the…? Look at half of these leftist losers hanging around their homes all day in their underwear — blogging, posting, commenting or what have you — and perhaps each of them in charge of ten didn’t fake people. Nothing is real. Nothing, particularly and especially with people on the left. There have been people — you know, posters, people posting Obama comments — who were exposed as professionals.Paid mercenary professionals, not ordinary, average American people.
Folks, I’m here to tell you that the media, wherever you look — I don’t care if it’s books or television shows or movies, music, Internet, what have you, I’m telling you — is so artificially balanced. I should better say “artificially out of balance.”

The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage “fake people” on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues.
The contract calls for the development of “Persona Management Software” which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online.

During debates on the Banker Bailout Bill on the floor of Congress in 2008, Congressman Brad Sherman made a startling revelation “Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop 2 or 3000 points the first day and another couple of thousand points the second day and a few members were even told that there would be MARTIAL LAW IN AMERICA if we voted no.
“Plans to suspend the Constitution have been taking place behind the scenes under cover of ‘Continuity of Government Contigency’ plans first exposed in the mid 1980 and raised by Congressman Jack Brooks during the Iran-Contra hearings and squashed by hearing chairman Daniel Inouye, HI.US Army and Marine troops practice urban warfare training and population control in American cities in violation of the Posse Comitatus act.

“What’s next, a blogger making his own videos instead of stealing them???” he added, with extra question marks.”But if he reverse excerpts, how will he get blog hits??????!!!!!!” inquired another, while popping a valium.

12 Ways to Get Fired for Facebook
According to a 2009 study by Internet security firm Proofpoint, 8 percent of companies with more than 1,000 employees have fired someone for social media actions — a figure that is double what was reported in 2008.
Yet it probably comes as no surprise that Facebook firings are on the rise. Cases of employers firing employees for social media slip-ups have been consistent in the news over the past few years.Just in case you need a refresher of what not to say online, here’s a timeline of 12 ridiculous examples of how Facebook can get you fired.1. Nov. 4, 2008:
New England Patriots cheerleader Caitlin Davis was cut from the squad over controversial pictures that were posted on her Facebook page. Davis, then 18, was at a Halloween party when she posed for photos with a passed-out man who was covered in graffiti, including swastikas, anti-Semitic remarks and profanity. Davis was fired from the squad after the pictures appeared on various websites and caught the attention of the Patriot’s management team. She had been the youngest cheerleader ever to make an NFL squad.
