| Lately,
on several truly seperate occasions whereby
there was something going on, it appeared
that there is some new trend by which people
will talk about the Internet as if it is
some kind of trap to fall into. And while it
is true, that Cyberspace is full of Webs,
Spiders and Flies, it is equally true that
the people who fear the Internet the most
are those people who have something to hide.
You can see this in the fact that those
within the establishment, within the system,
are doing the best they can to discredit the
Internet and make people go offline (again)
in order to be fed the same old propaganda
they have been eating before they went
online.
When is the Internet a trap?
And who falls into such kinds of traps?
Certainly not freedom fighters, truth lovers
and independants! It appears, that those who
are talking about the Internet as if it such
a dangerous place, are looking for some
thing. That "thing" is not
"Truth", "Freedom" or
"Independance". That
"thing" is what many in the post
modern world are looking for: "a good
feeling". This "good
feeling", obviously, is something
different for spiders like pedophiles then
it is for flies such as instable youths
looking for some "identity to call
themselves". But in a web, spiders and
flies meet...
You see it in the success of
software such as the MSN "Instant
Messenger". Over here, in the
Netherlands, most of the youths have some
MSN account and they spend whole days
"chatting" with other youths and
adults pretending to be youths. The subject,
more often then not, is sex and stuff like
that. How often can you read how someone is
raped, because of some Internet contact?
Often. The rape, however, takes place in
"The Real World". You don't rape
someone using a modem.
There are just too many
reasons to place a big Question Mark when
people start talking about the Internet as
the big bad place. They are talking things
which are very, very benificial to the
powers that be: Babylon System if you will.
Those who research matters know, how
"Internet 2" is being developed,
where there is no longer any freedom of
expression, no longer any freedom to choose
to be informed through other channels then
the mainstream media.
The Internet is still a
place of freedom. But you got to know what
it means to be free in order to take benefit
from what the Internet has to offer... When
you are a free man, you love freedom and
know how to behave in it, when you love the
truth and want to know the truth, is there a
better place to go then to the Internet? And
if so, what would that place be? A Church? A
Temple? A University Building? A Library? A
Favorite Television Channel? Your local
coffeeshop (when you live in the
Netherlands)? Your local reggae scene?
But many do not look for the
truth. They do not engage in conversations,
they do not write articles or read them,
because of some love for the truth. What
they are looking for, is "contact"
with "like minded individuals". In
other words, looking for confirmations of
themselves. Which the Internet will give
them too. But usually, these people do not
like what they see when they look in that
mirror called the Internet. And so they
blame the mirror for what they see...
The Internet is a place
where you can get what you want, and you
will get what you want. When you're looking
for sins to commit, go right ahead for it's
all out there. Just like in the so-called
"real world", by the way. When
you're looking for a
"feel-good-vibe", go right ahead
for it's all out there too. The Internet
gives you what you are searching for. So
when you find something which makes you feel
like being a fly in a web, don't blame the
Internet. Blame yourself and stop being a
fly. For only flies run into dung and webs.
It's in their very nature!
Let's take a closer look to
this new trend, by which it seems that
people are now falling into the idea that if
only they would remove themselves from the
Internet, they will no longer be
"caught in a web" where they will
be eaten by "spiders", as if they
are flies. Little do these people realize,
that when you are a fly, you will allways be
caught in a web, woven by a spider. Little
do these people realize about the fact that
they consider themselves to be flies!
Is the Internet full of
spiders and flies? Yes, as a matter of fact
it is. Just like in what they call "the
real world", that is the offline
situation! There are many websites
pretending to be some thing where in reality
they are not. But that's not really a thing
which is caused by the Internet. It is a
thing which is closely connected to the very
nature of human "civilization" and
yes, even "humanity" itself!
Take, for example, the
Movement of Rastafari. Try go to a local
library, after all that's where you are in
the so-called "real world" rather
then the so-called "virtual world"
that is the Internet. Try and get some truth
information about this movement in your
local library. Then go to your local
bookstore and your local "Reggae
scene" and tell me just how much truth
you have been finding. Chances are very
great, that you will have found more lies
then you will ever engage on the Internet.
When you're a truthseeker, a
freedom fighter, an independant musician,
the Internet is your place. Babylon fears
the Internet more then anything else! It is
in Cyberspace that the truth can be found
for example about the true events that led
up to 9/11. Think about "The
Ballad Of MP3.com" where the music
industry tried to kill the Online Artist
Community. Conspiracy theories, just
because it's on the Internet? Think for a
while, who might start such a rumour. The
truth is out there, and it can be verified.
Websites, especially those who have an
online history, become reliable sources of
information. They proof themselves, as much
of the news brought out through "the
alternative media" on the Internet
turns out be mainstream news months or years
later!
What then, is the context in
which many start talking about the Internet
as a dangerous place to be? What is this
context, in which people start acting like
they are flies having to fear spiders and
webs? What are they looking for, and why do
they now scream because they found it? What
did they find?
In one word: conflict.
"Conflict" as in: everything which
challenges the feeble minds of the post
modern flies. In a dumbed down post
modern society, the disciplines of
"critical thinking" are
"truth seeking" have become too
difficult. "Debate" has become a
dirty word for the graduates of Babylon's
school of ignorance. They don't overstand
the subjects, all they see is disagreement
and as far as they are concerned there is no
true difference between a real debate and
-indeed- the dung you can find in many
places on the Internet. It's all about
"feeling good" and intelectual
laziness.
And by realizing this, you
can easily find out the true reason why some
are afraid for the Internet. They are flies,
ready to be eaten by any spider, on- or
offline! They have not been learning how to
behave in freedom and all they look for is
some "feel good vibe". And when do
flies feel good? When they're in the midst
of dung! And so there are many spiders who
create their web right where the dung is.
Yes, the Internet is full of
dung, spiders and flies. You can find them
all over, and especially in those parts in
Cyberspace where "people come
together". Message Boards, Chat Rooms
et cetera. And where people come together,
you will allways have the spiders waiting
for the flies.
But that's not all the
Internet has to offer, even though it seems
like some who are speaking about the
Internet have no idea that there is
something outside of Chat Rooms. There are,
for example, literally thousands of musical
works which can be downloaded often for
free. There are many websites with
verifiable and crucial information for
truthseekers and freedom fighters.
Those who mistake freedom
for a web, are kind of confused. They're not
free. At least, they do not know how to
behave in freedom. Freedom is not some
"feel-good utopia". Freedom is
hard work. Especially since there is no one
to tell you what to do. So you have to
think. You have to find. You have to stand
strong when you are being tempted by some
website. On the Internet, you can learn just
how free you are. And it turns out, that
many are simply not free. For all they find
is another web.
However, it's not really
fair to blame some infrastructure, a network
of computers used by people expressing
themselves, for something that people who
use this infrastructure actually do. It's
not the Internet's fault when one runs into
some kind of online trap.The trap isn't made
by the Internet. Nothing is made by the
Internet. Everything on the Internet is made
by "real people" who are in the
"real world" typing words on a
"real keyboard" for other people
in the "real world" to read with
their "real eyes".
It goes further.
In itself, to say that the
Internet is a trap, is to fall into a trap!
A trap in a technique called "Problem
-> Reaction -> Solution". The
online freedom, called "anarchy"
by some, is a true problem for the powers
that be. Most people know that the true
story behind the events of 9/11 is quite
different then the official one. The only
reason why the powers that be have not yet
launched another terrorist attack killing
many people is that there are many websites
exposing the truth. And in the same time,
the system makes sure that the Internet is
filled with dung in order to create problems
where people will then start to demand for a
solution: a taking away of the freedom on
the Internet. So those who are talking about
the Internet as a no-go-area, are de facto
assisting the system we have come to
identifty with the name "Babylon".
In ancient times, the
founder of Babylon (Nimrod) sent out thieves
and violent people to independant tribes.
Terrorists, if you will. They terrorized the
free people until such an extend, that the
independant tribes gladfully exchanged their
liberty for the "security" that
this very same Nimrod offered against the
"terrorists". It's an ancient
trick, but 6000 years later humanity still
seems to fall for it. Security over Liberty.
"Feeling Good" over
"Debates".
Sure, the Internet is full
with weirdo's and crazy people. Full with
spiders and flies doing their things. But
why do people go online? It has been said
before, they go online to "feel
good". To have "security", if
you will. They do not come to the Internet
because they love freedom and truth and know
that Cyberspace is the best place to be free
and find more truth in an hour then a year's
search in your local library will provide.
You will find spiders at
those places where they expect flies to
come. That's where they create their webs.
These places are those places, where flies
come to feel good. Usually, flies and
spiders can be found in pretty unclean
places. Dung, with it's terrible smell, is
attractive for flies.
Is it still wize, to tell
"flies" to not go to the web? Yes,
in a way. But much better is to tell
"flies" to stop being a fly. Stop
being attracted to dung. Stop longing for
security in the midst of liberty. Start
loving the truth. Because when you look for
dung, you will run into a web. But when you
look for truth, you will find liberty. Just
like in that so-called "real
world".
