Mind Manipulation

Tis the season to end regulations. We all know that when it happens large corporations devour everything and then we are left with fewer choices. Even when I go to CVS for the brand name Q-Tips it is hard to find when the company pushes their own brand of far inferior cotton on a stick product. It is annoying. I can’t even watch the news without being assaulted with some Disney promotion during the broadcast because Disney owns ABC. With large corporations come their endless self- promotion. If you use the internet as we all do now for any kind of research or information, Trump’s government is messing with that too.  It would be a service to the world if they banned all bomb making videos and pro-ISIS propaganda but nah instead the FCC just voted to repeal net neutrality.

No protesting because our society that communicates in little visual pictures doesn’t even know what is net neutrality. The vote will affect those who use the internet the most. The repeal of the net neutrality rules is a milestone for the Republican deregulation push. Yes, they just repealed regulations that prevented your internet provider from blocking certain websites or slowing down your data. Now they can and that is wrong. The new rule will “prohibit broadband providers from striking special deals that would give SOME websites or apps ”priority” over others.” So now a big player like Google could make their site load faster than other sites. What about the small business owner that sells their stuff on a website. Forget about expecting anyone to have the patience to wait for it to load up. I guess Google is now like porn sites. They never have a problem loading up. Sigh!

Don’t they realize that by killing net neutrality internet providers can do whatever they want? Yes, they will hide my favorite brand of cotton on a stick too! Where’s the Q-Tips? They will have to “disclose to their users what exactly they do to web traffic. Good luck trying to read all that fine print. I can read that crap while I wait for my websites to load. Big companies like Verizon and Comcast have spent millions of dollars LOBBYING our bloated politicians to be able to block, slow down or prioritize any web traffic they please. The FCC has received 22 million public comments on this issue. The real wrench thrown into the engine is that as many as two million comments were FAKE.

Yes, those damn Russians are Fucking with our internet access too. Half a million of the comments were originated from Russian email addresses. That Putin Dictator wants us to only have access to the information he wants to share easily. This is real mind screwing. How does killing regulations help Americans? Donald must owe Putin lots of favors. Or he is so devoted to erasing anything Obama did.

How does the average American benefit when giant media corporations get their way? Sure the stock market is doing well. It is a free fall of de-regulations for all corporations lately. Let the money flow for them while the people get little or nothing in return. This is Trump’s America now.

In more outrageous news Disney just bought most of 21^st Century Fox for $52.4 billion dollars. So, that is why it is so expensive to ride the tea cups there. Now even all our movies will be having appearances by Mickey Mouse? Where will our movie choices go? Gone. Watch all the Disney crap all they time or nothing. Disney is not buying Fox Sports, Fox Broadcast Network and Not Fox News. Well, they should have bought Fox News because that news is all fantasy and fake imagination too. Are we going to be able to keep our intellect with all this forced information thrust on us against our will? I call it harassment of the mind!
