I use in referring to them is the Matrix, see movie for details.

I believe the Internet is the best hope of waking the people up to what's going on and as such I expect more attacks against it from the media and the likes of Karl Rove as he did in a recent speech to the Heritage Foundation attacking Internet anonymity. I believe they want to do to bloggers, what they've done to the corporate media owned journalists, make them beholden to their bosses, particularly regarding political opinion. They have the money and the one way megaphones on their side to attack the messengers, what they lack are the truth and facts to attack the messages and they know it.

I also believe this was the primary motivation for them, when they went after Al Gore in the manner they did, where the truth and facts literally meant nothing to them. They didn't want a strong Internet advocate in the White House in order to make it easier for them to find ways to neutralize the growing power and influence from the Internet.

Thanks to babylonsister for the thread.

Kicked and recommended.
