Beware the Marxist who wants to control the internet.

Beware the Marxist who wants to control the internet.

A recent New York Times article is the one of the first steps to a Governmental control of the internet. Before you read the article read this review and see if it fits the pattern.

“Hooked on the Web: Help Is on the Way” by SARAH KERSHAW, REDMOND, Wash.. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/01/fashion/thursdaystyles/01addict.html?ei=5090&en=1a8916920717f083&ex=1291093200&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=print

States with in the first five lines “They even have a diagnosis: Internet addiction disorder”

All government control starts with a problem that appears so monumental that only government action can control it.

The problem Internet Addiction Disorder or IAD, will rot your mind, body, and sprit. Children, yes the children will be harmed unless action is taken. The family will be destroyed. Society will be in danger of disintegrating. Oh Government, please help us, we know not what to do.

So anyone want to guess what the next line is?

<i>“These specialists estimate that 6 percent to 10 percent of the approximately 189 million Internet users in this country have a dependency that can be as destructive as alcoholism and drug addiction, and they are rushing to treat it.”</i>

Think about the book 1984. Think of the nightmare when the government controls EVERYTHING you do, where place you go. No escape.

Then ask yourself, how would a government gain such control? Thus the essence of the story. With out even reading it you can imagine what a bleak picture is panted about IAD. How it is worse than any drug problem. How it is just not healthy. How it has a program that seems to work, but only a little.

Then is a few weeks, maybe a month or so. There will be another story, that may even have a victim and a perpetrator. The story will end with another indication that things are worse than they expected.

Stories like this will follow a model similar to the Global Warming Con.

1. Identify a problem.
2. Have un-heard of athorities from never hear of Institutions arguing.

Note: Later in the story we have the following paragraph. “Among the programs offered by the Center for Online Addiction in Bradford, Pa., founded in 1994 by Dr. Kimberly S. Young, a leading researcher in Internet addiction, are cyberwidow support groups for the spouses of those having online affairs, treatment for addiction to eBay and intense behavioral counseling - in person, by telephone and online - to help clients get Web sober.”

Now think about it. Someone went back in time to 1994 when we had a fledgling internet, with the major connection was still a 14.4 modem. And realized that 10 years later a syndrome no one heard of would be a problem. So he crated a center do deal with a future problem. In 1994 only 35% of the schools had internet access, and the DOT COM company concept was not invented yet. Why not even Windows 95 was around. And all ready someone realized that we would have a need a “Center for Online Addiction.”

 

3. Then all of the sudden the argument between “Professionals” is over and it was decided that there is a real problem. Now remember, there is no proof of the problem. Like in global warming the articles always say “Scientist Agree..” No mention ever of any proof, ever. Only, observations that are said to be a result of …. This would be similar to saying that “Scientist Agree that the earth is flat. This can be seen by the fact the ships that sail off into the night and never return have fallen off the edge of the earth.” There it is agreement, observation, and only one conclusion that fits the agreement.
4. Next come the warning that things will wet worse. Of course they are always man made problem, due to our inconsideration of others. Some will cry that we need salvation.
5. Small attempts will be made to fix the problem. But none will ever really solve anything.
6. Soon business will spring up to be experts in solving the still unproven problem.
7. Of course after the business reach a saturation point, the Government will need to introduce some regulations that of course the business already in the industry will need to help you meet, because of there complexities.
8. Eventually some left group will pick of the cause and make sure everyone is aware of it. It always helps to reinforce the fear factor, and that a small sacrifice will be needed to stop the fear.
9. (Your turn to add some..)

 

And so it goes step, by step. Until before we know it we will have another industry of crooks stealing money and a helpful government increasing its regulations. Now read the article and find the other BS information and fears they put in it.

9. UN control is the only cure.

All government control starts with a problem that appears so monumental that only government action can control it.

When I was young I used to watch "60 Minutes" and wonder how the world was going to last another week.

Since the Liberals can't wrest control of the Internet from us via the U.N., their next step is to label our dedication as a disease.

This is precisely the same thing that the Soviets did to people who yearned for freedom; they classified them as "mentally ill."

I have noticed that government has relaxed its restrictions on gambling casinos. Even though gambling may not be like Internet use, there is an addictive quality to it. It would be like the government to foster a huge population of people into the world of gambling; only to declare a major epidemic of gambling addiction. In a cynical way I see this as growing a problem as a means to benefit from that problem.

[Prime Choice]

Funny you should mention that. Consider that the government subsidizes tobacco. They pour I don't know how many millions or billions of dollars into subsidizing it. And then they turn around and sue the manufacturers of tobacco products and further regulate the industry with onerous fees and other taxes.

Then they sock it to the poor bastards who are hooked on the tobacco products that have been subsidized by the very government that touts itself as "looking out for the consumer's best interests."

It just gets curiouser and curiouser.

[Just A Nobody]

They have come up with another one!

IAD = Internet Addiction Disorder

LOL!

[Dr.Deth]

Iz okee. Ve kin re-edukate you in gulag.

[jonrick46]

Makes one have more conviction that a Devil does exist.

As long as the feds can tax it, they are fine with an addiction. What bugs them is that taxation of internet usage has been limited.

[Dallas59]

I can stop anytime I want......DOH!

[CPOSharky]

AlGore invewnted it.

Govt agencies are trying to make internet access available to ALL of the population. (The digital divide)

Now, they say the govt must control it because of IAD. (Inane Asinine Defense)

[Gabz]

Thanks for the ping.

She Lion - check this out...........where have we heard this one before????

[satchmodog9]

Maybe we should ask Gore to find a cure or we could just sue him because he unleashed an insidious product on the market.

[Just A Nobody]

where have we heard this one before????

We have heard it before and will continue to hear it until everything we think or do or feel, will be some disease to be cured or thought/action to be taxed, regulated or outlawed.

Sad that so many Americans just don't get it. The title of this thread, "Beware the Marxist who wants to control the internet" will get the attention of some and there may be momentary outrage. They don't understand we have already "willingly" given up many freedoms. All I can say is.....

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."
-- Norman Thomas, six-time Socialist Party presidential candidate and one of the founders of the ACLU

[UCANSEE2]

Yes. IAD.

For those addicted tot he internet.

Courses can be taken 'online'.
COURSES CAN BE TAKEN ONLINE.

Now that's just funny.

[american spirit]

It's as simple as the tried and true Hegelian principle of thesis (problem) / antithesis (reaction) / synthesis (solution) that's been used over and over by gov't. at all levels to build their bureaucracy. Speaking of Marxism / liberalism is that why almost all of the planks of the Communist Manifesto have been implemented in this country?

[Just A Nobody]

is that why almost all of the planks of the Communist Manifesto have been implemented in this country?

I thought I was the only one that noticed.

[american spirit]

Well.....I didn't want to notice it much either so I tried to immerse myself in sports, gratuitous sex (I wish), movies/TV, trying to believe homosexuality is normal and healthy and other matters of triviality.......then I figured it out.....I was practicing the COMMUNIST RULES FOR REVOLUTION! Of course ,this is all by accident isn't it?
