tracking:
Something I think we miss on this topic is that it is not simple data mining and aggregation of personal information, nor is it only constant updates on our geographic locations.
What FB, IG,Twitter et al does is curate our feeds. (And think about that word: they are feeding us like garden plants or livestock)Whatever they want us to believe/accept will get widely shared and garner positive responses, ensuring that we share similar ideas/memes widely in order to be *liked*). They will work to feed us more of these. Whatever they do not want us to believe/accept will be muted/shadow banned, limited in shares and so, will NOT return positive responses so that we share these ideas/memes less to fewer recipients. They will actively work to show us fewer of these.
People are being _molded_ by social media. The more interactive it is, the stronger the effect on peoples’ psych. This is why they brag they can tweak elections and have a 90% ability to change beliefs and loyalties. Whatever we love will be associated with what they want us to accept. Whatever they want us to reject will be associated with things we have been conditioned to reject. They can engender love and respect and devotion in a large percentage of the populace. A simplistic example: you respond favorably to green-eyed redheads, then green-eyed redheads will show up in the ads shown to you.
It is unethical manipulation of our minds, hearts and souls. The mined data is the leverage. It is valuable in its own right as a product to be sold to advertisers, but it is used as a wedge to gain entry to our beliefs, opinions and our actions. It is a kind of rape.
YUP. And Bertrand Russell et al bragged about the coming day when such would be possible at the hands and orders of the authoritarian elite.
That is a profound observation in my opinion, RL. I agree, and actually in the conversation with my friend today, we actually have been going over the drops which touch on social media, and that very concept arose!
Thank you for stating it so very well! We HAVE been overlooking it far too much!
Very like what Aldous Huxley envisioned “Brave New World”. From infancy, or actually in (glass) utero, in the book. I read that as an adolescent and it affected me greatly. Helped turn me into a Luddite.
And then, of course, Soma. Psych drugs, legalized weed (Soros $ BIG behind the legalize mj movement), and of course more mesmerizing via all the electronic/media stuff you detailed.
Excellent post. Everyone should read and understand this.
I believe that they are also “psychoanalyzing” us based on what they learn about us. Who can be re-educated by curating the feeds. Who cannot. Who is a “right-thinking liberal”. Who is a “problem that needs to be dealt with”.

Along those lines, some remarks and a rhetorical question...
I’m a huge fan of the truth. People like Michael Hastings were killed because they knew the truth and were about to publish it. IMO he was killed to PREVENT him from publishing it.
So WHY doesn’t Trump/Q get all this information out there? Why don’t they make the truth public? I can’t believe that the brilliant team that has created and is now carrying out this big master plan is not smart enough to release the information to the public in such a way that it can be digested and understood. I have long believed that that was one of the purposes of the whole Q thing. But I am now wondering what the holdup is. I understand that for someone like Hastings he may have wanted to have the complete story so that he could have a “scoop” or be a hero or something. That should not be an issue for Q/Trump.
So again I ask, why is this info not being made public???
Examples of what needs to be public:
What is the real story on 9/11?
Why did bldg 7 collapse?
Who profited from 9/11?
Who was behind the JFK assassination? (in layers, if need be)
Who is BHO? Where was he born? Who created him?
We spent trillions on the ME wars after 9/11. Who profited from that?
Why didn’t we get the oil?
What is really going on on Epstein’s Island?
Who is participating in CP/child trafficking? Who knows and looks the other way? Who knows and profits from it?
Who profits from drug trafficking?
For each and every member of Congress, how much money did they have when they entered office, how much do they have now, and how do you account for the difference?
For high level government officials, same questions.
For Google, FB, Instagram, Twitter, Tesla, SpaceX, and any similar companies with similar reach, what specific government breaks have they been given? What protective laws were passed that benefited them? How much have taxpayers “invested” in them?
For the execs at those companies, how much of their wealth has come as at the expense of the US taxpayer, directly or indirectly?
Assuming that it’s possible to track people, what are the EXACT itineraries of high ranking government officials and corporate big shots leading up to 9/11 and in the 2 (6? 12?) months after?
Lots of questions about Sandy Hook, Parkland shooting, LV shooting, and more.
Time to come clean.
Probably a lot more, but that’s a start.
