Thought for the day

Think for a moment about the company you work for or a company you have worked for, and try to remember the rules and politics that made you feel perhaps slightly insignificant and fearful. Now consider the life of a human being versus that of a company or corporation. Ask yourself which you value more, the life of a person or the profits of a company? Now ask yourself which do you think the company owners and executives value most? One last question; do you know how much corporations and companies contribute to your political party system? and I don't mean the large sums of money they donate.

How the media lies to you

I should have posted these videos up long ago. They are both excellent documentaries regarding the media and the global corporate empire and how they manipulate the masses. The first is a documentary about Noam Chomskyand the Media (which is also it's subtitle) and it is called 'Manufacturing Consent'. It's a good few years old but it is more relavent than ever, much in the same way the Orwell's work is:


The second documentary is far more recent and equally important, with interviews with many important figures. This is the wonderfully titles 'Orwell Rolls In His Grave':


Enjoy :o)

Home Office plans to spy on your social network conversations

This is just a short entry for folks to follow up for themeselves. I found the following article burried low down in a small reference below irrelavent faff about rugby on The Guardian website :

Home Office defends plan to monitor social network conversations

As always I would like to remind folks that infact there is something you can do about this. Simply google for social movements and campaigns in opposition to these orwellian policies and sign up (e.g. Avaaz, 28 Degrees, Amnesty International and so forth). Share your links to the sites for specific campaigns on your social networking facility of choice. This stuff works!
