I read the OP, and agree with the spirt of the arguement. But to say that dictators are being deposed is the first steps on world war three is a strech. One of my favorite saying is "Sometimes a banana is just a banana, there is no meaning or plot, its just there, yellow, curved slightly, and delicious." Sometimes a revolution is just a revolution, we are able to look back and see them for as long as people have been tired of being oppressed by one jerk and then they move to another. On may argue that the internet is a wall against revolution. I have heard a few reports about the middle east wave of revolt that state the final straw so to speak was internet sites being blocked. Having lost the medium in which to vent the people took to the streets. So it could be argued that if you allow people to bitch and moan online they will be less likely to take real action and over throw the government. Welcome to the Brave New World folks.

Oh yes Proto, I was getting an intense attack on some positions I made on another thread, and I couldn't help wondering. It seemed like an organized attack actually. I have heard that the gov wants to develop the software to create fake Internet IDs on social networking interfaces, and I do not doubt that this is an integral part of their agenda to isolate and discredit people who have strong positions and ideas.

What would it take for the same things to happen in the U.S. or any other Western Nation? I can tell you that after a few missed meals due to the price of food, people would start getting angry and begin looking for ways to feed themselves and their families.
As far as I can tell those missed meals are planned for 2012 - 2013 here in the USA. Please read the short articles I linked to and you will see what I mean.
Since WTO was ratified in 1995, all new jobs come from small business. More than 50% of US work force is now employed by small business and a bad economy is much tougher on a small business tha a large one. Ugly Side Effect of New 1099 Law:

I am a little skeptical about Off World Alien involvement, in part because I have yet to meet (for sure) a person from another world.
I have resolved to attempt to make contact though and to see what I can see, and if they do exist to engage them in a substantial discussion on the future of the planet....
Careful Pro Trav. One should be sure aliens do not view us as a yummy lunch.
Steven Hawking has said as much.
Aliens of higher intellect may view us as pesky ants and I remember as a child frying ants with a well aimed sunbeam through a magnifying glass.
You know, I think the aliens have a lot more to fear from me, than I do from them.
I am telling you right now, if they have any lunch money on them it's mine!
I do not doubt that this is an integral part of their agenda to isolate and discredit people who have strong positions and ideas.
....MYTH: H.R. 875 was written by Monsanto and other large agribusiness companies because Stan Greenberg, Rep. DeLauro’s husband, is a consultant for Monsanto.
FACT: Monsanto and other large agribusiness companies did not write or express support for H.R. 875. Mr. Greenberg had no involvement in the drafting of the bill. Greenberg, Quinlan Rosner does no lobbying on any issue and its work is wholly independent. Mr. Greenberg never worked for Monsanto, and has not conducted surveys for Monsanto in the past decade. The bill is supported by several Members of Congress who have strong progressive records on issues involving farmers markets, organic farming, and locally-grown foods. Also, H.R. 875 is the only food safety legislation that has been supported by all the major consumer and food safety groups:
– Center for Foodborne Illness Research & Prevention
– Center for Science in the Public Interest
– Consumer Federation of America
– Consumers Union
– Food & Water Watch
– The Pew Charitable Trusts
– Safe Tables Our Priority
– Trust for America’s Health

Thanks for the links CV! I'll make sure to check them out. I've been loosely following this law for a bit now, and it concerns me, mostly because I do keep a small garden in my back yard for tomatoes and green beans.
Today a state Ag inspector and two county officials show up and scare the bee-jesus out of me.
First they accuse me of selling products and milk, then explain that even "giving milk products away" is illegal in California. Now everything is pasteurized, but it is illegal to share milk products in any form! They explained it was even ILLEGAL to give it to my own children if they did not live under my roof!
I can't even take a lasagna dish to my grown sons home without risk of being fined, arrested and or jailed! This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!" Donna, Aug 12, 2008. finance.groups.yahoo.com...

Well, I have to agree and disagree on many levels, which is something that always happens between us.
I do not think that the Internet is being used to start WWIII.
I do however see it as one of many battlefields where it was being fought....

Alright guys, lets look at recent history and see if this is all a set-up as Proto is implying:
[color=cyan]Lets face it you do not get protests if the sheeple are fat and happy. It is only when jobs, food and money is scare that people go looking for a reason.
Here is the evidence of a carefully orchestrated set-up
Reagan - facilitated the Leveraged buyouts/Hostile takeovers of the 1980's that wiped out our successful industry by transferring the firms equity to Corporate Raiders and banks. Crippled the firms had to make major cut backs in wages and benefits . Most were dismantled and shipped over seas.
Clinton finished the job by ratifying the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, and smoothing China's entry into the WTO. This exported 20% of our manufacturing jobs in 14 years.
As if that was not enough Clinton also set up the housing bubble/burst.
After the Great Depression, several laws were put in place to prevent another depression. The 1933 and 1934 Security and Exchange laws, The McFadden Act of 1927, The Glass-Steagall Act or Banking Act of 1933. Also Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.
Clinton's laws Negating above: Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999
More pro-banking Clinton laws:
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991:Allowed big banks to gobble up smaller banks more easily.
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and RTC Completion Act - Housing and business loans to minorities.
Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 200 - left CDSs unregulated and set up AIG bailout and Foreclosuregate.
Bush of course was responsible for the AIG bailout as well as the Patriot act and other pro- "Martial Law" stuff
Then there is Obama.
Obama's "loan modification program" enticed marginal mortgage holders into a trap. They were put on a "trial" modification, strung along for months with "lost paperwork" and then handed a whopping big bill and thirty days to pay or the banks would foreclose. Mortgages with one or more CDSs paid for by tax payers AIG bailout money rewarded the banks with payment in full AND the property guaranteeing the banks did not WANT TO REFINANCE!
I have already pointed out several times the change to the tax code for 1099's and the new food law are not going to help the economy in 2012. My post
Sure looks like there is a set-up with two Democratic and two Republican presidents helping it along.
You also have all the UN/ Elite Foundation funded/controlled NGOs that suck up and train naive young activists.
Again in the Farm Wars we were defeated by the propaganda put out by these "Well Respected" organizations like Organic Consumers Assoc. Food & Water Watch and the Consumers Union. I even called and talked to various smaller groups and was told point blank that I was an "Unknown" and therefore they would have to go with the opinion of Organic Consumers Assoc. since they trusted them. Actually doing the research for themselves was too much effort. No wonder bills are now hundreds if not thousands of pages long!
So again I have to agree with Proto. We are being SUCKERED!
