Channel of the state...A move towards it.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/personal/2012/12/07/cutting-the-cord/1754509/
The post on January 4th, 2011 suggested a move towards universalization of "channels"(scary when the word "mediums" pops in your head as you type this) whose source will be the WWW....
6! 6! 6!
"Pick the video-streaming service that best fits your lifestyle. Be content with your content."
Just remember that the time will come when the State will dictate EVERYTHING that CAN go on the web. EVERYTHING the State approves will be viewable. There will not be a single thing that the State does not approve of. Literally, people will become what the State wants them to, since we are what we eat. That censoring is already taking place can be seen on the youtube website, as more and more videos are being taken down for whatever reason.

A Google research team is adapting that model to measure the trustworthiness of a page, rather than its reputation across the web. Instead of counting incoming links, the system – which is not yet live – counts the number of incorrect facts within a page. "A source that has few false facts is considered to be trustworthy," says the team (arxiv.org/abs/1502.03519v1). The score they compute for each page is its Knowledge-Based Trust score.
The software works by tapping into the Knowledge Vault, the vast store of facts that Google has pulled off the internet. Facts the web unanimously agrees on are considered a reasonable proxy for truth. Web pages that contain contradictory information are bumped down the rankings.
Current Events-Babylonian economical dilemma
http://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/resource_center/expert_insight/todays_market/sonders/sonders_110912.html
"Even if the United States falls off the "fiscal cliff," the hit to the economy will probably be gradual."
This is speculation. Although it seems that "gradual" falls, shifts, or collapses are advocated by the IMF as found out later in this post.
"And while the fiscal cliff probably figured into the recent market pullback, it's not the only contributor."
This is true. But the "market" is an extremely unpredictable machine to begin with anyway. Most people see it as an indicator of world trends pertaining to a wide array of global issues.
"Resolution to this issue, the continuation of positive trends in housing and manufacturing, and fundamental tax reform could help give the economy a boost."
This is a statement made towards the distracted masses. The economy must be shattered in order for a global economy to be unleashed. The fact the economy/dollar is being setup for failure is evident in policies that pertain to money handling. The links below show that a move towards a global currency is clearly underway. This is no longer "conspiracy theory".
I was going to attempt to debunk all of this person's arguments in this article but have found it unnecessary in light of the facts listed below.
Reserve currencies come and go. Before 1944, the world reference currency was the Pound Sterling. After World War II, the international financial system was governed by a formal agreement, the Bretton Woods system. Under this system the United States dollar was placed deliberately as the anchor of the system, with the US government guaranteeing other central banks that they could sell their US dollar reserves at a fixed rate for gold until 1971 when FIAT was introduced.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency
However, The Triffin dilemma (or the Triffin paradox) is a theory that when a national currency also serves as an international reserve currency, there could be conflicts of interest between short-term domestic and long-term international economic objectives. This dilemma was first identified by Belgian-American economist Robert Triffin in the 1960s, who pointed out that the country whose currency foreign nations wish to hold (the global reserve currency) must be willing to supply the world with an extra supply of its currency to fulfill world demand for this 'reserve' currency (foreign exchange reserves) and thus cause a trade deficit. The use of a national currency (i.e. the U.S. dollar) as global reserve currency leads to a tension between national monetary policy and global monetary policy. This is reflected in fundamental imbalances in the balance of payments, specifically the current account: some goals require an overall flow of dollars out of the United States, while others require an overall flow of dollars in to the United States. The Triffin dilemma is usually used to articulate the problems with the U.S. dollar's role as the reserve currency under the Bretton Woods system or more generally of using any national currency as an international reserve currency.
In the wake of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, the governor of the People's Bank of China explicitly named the Triffin Dilemma as the root cause of the economic disorder, in a speech titled Reform the International Monetary System. Zhou Xiaochuan's speech of 29 March 2009 proposed strengthening existing global currency controls, through the IMF. This would involve a gradual move away from the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency and towards the use of IMF special drawing rights (SDRs) as a global reserve currency. Zhou argued that part of the reason for the original Bretton Woods system breaking down was the refusal to adopt Keynes' bancor which would have been a special international currency to be used instead of the dollar. American economists such as Brad Delong agreed that on almost every point where Keynes was overruled by the Americans during the Bretton Woods negotiations, he was later proved correct by events.
Zhou's proposal attracted much international attention; in a November 2009 article published in Foreign Affairs magazine, economist C. Fred Bergsten argued that Zhou's suggestion or a similar change to the International Monetary System would be in the best interests in both the U.S. and the rest of the world. While Zhou's proposal has not yet been adopted, leaders meeting in April at the 2009 G-20 London summit agreed to allow 250 billion SDRs to be created by the IMF, to be distributed to all IMF members according to each country's voting rights. On April 13, 2010, the Strategy, Policy and Review Department of the IMF published a comprehensive report examining these aforementioned problems as well as other world reserve currency considerations, recommending that the world adopt a global currency called the "bancor" and that a global central bank be established to administer such a currency. In this report, the current issues with having a national global reserve currency are addressed. The merits, difficulties and effectiveness of establishing a multi-currency reserve system are weighed against that of the SDRs, or "basket currency" strategy, and those of establishing this new "global reserve currency". A new multilateral framework and 'multi-polar system' for managing capital flows and national debts is also called for, but the IMF cautions that it prefers a gradual shift to this new framework, rather than a sudden change.

Current Events-Wealth Redistribution
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/12/05/ap-interview-un-chief-says-rich-countries-caused-climate-change-must-take-lead/
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said it was
"only fair and reasonable that the developed world should bear most of
the responsibility" in fighting the gradual warming of the planet.
Although feasible, this is still nonetheless a pretext for socialism…

So facebook desires to have a policy that disregards its “customers”…that in of itself says a lot. As far as the vote, it wouldn’t surprise me to see facebook publicize the 300 mil were gotten, only to do what they wanted to do anyway at a later time…

Current Events-"fiscal cliff"
http://www.mail.com/news/politics/1744098-analysis-obama-risk-going-cliff.html#.23140-stage-hero1-4
LOL, look at his demeanor. It would not surprise me
a bit if “Washington really does fail to avert the looming series of
tax hikes and spending cuts, the White House will portray Republicans as
the culprits for insisting on protecting tax cuts for the wealthy, an
effort the administration is laying the groundwork for now.”
Laying the groundwork for the collapse of the green-back, that is.
“"This is a choice of the Republican Party," said
Dan Pfeiffer, White House communications director. "If they are willing
to do higher rates on the wealthy, there's a lot we can talk about. And
if they are not, then they'll push us over the cliff."
That’s quite an ultimatum.
"If the president really wants to avoid sending the
economy over the fiscal cliff, he has done nothing to demonstrate it,"
the speaker said.
And why do people put it past BO to let the USA go over the cliff?
This particular link hails someone as a "stage-hero"....

WHAT WERE THE MOST LOOKED UP WORDS IN 2012? Sure, this is entertainment, but for entertainment’ sake, they were…
TOP 2, SOCIALISM and CAPITALISM, followed by Democracy, globalization, marriage and bigot.

Current Events-Economic collapse
http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/02/politics/fiscal-cliff/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
I actually saw ads playing on TV about this matter.
I dont remember ever seeing commercials about political issues that are
not up for vote. Is it being hyped up or is it serving as some sort of
omen? They have even given it a title, labeling it the “fiscal-cliff”.
What can American citizens do about this “fiscal-cliff”? Nothing. So why
is it being advertised?
