But because it is a trend I utterly dislike. For two reasons; one because everyone else does it and I don't want to be a clone drone, two because there are freaks out there. It's kinda creepy how people just spill out their entire lives on these pages in 'broad daylight' so to speak, especially young people. Sometimes the freaks aren't always dirty old men, but can be anyone with usually an unpleasant agenda.

Think about the last time you called a major corporation or service like Apple, or the cable company or the phone company and got a "real person" ?   They don't need secretaries anymore because we're not in Kansas anymore.

Increasingly things are worked out by machines. On their own.

If we consider the back engineering of alien craft by government entities and the explosion of technology since the 1940's, then the implications for surveillance is beyond what any of us have seen in any movie. (strange thoughts of a guy in the clouds watching every move I make) I mean really, let's just ponder for a moment: with the rash of claimed alien abductions throughout the 1980's (well over 1 million) it is impossible to discount the fact that someone is watching, waiting and gathering intel. What are all these implants being found in people? If the NWO is really some type of alien/reptilian plot, myspace is a perfect medium for allowing the sheeple to volunteer personal information. I mean that database have saved millions of hours of research for the feds. Don't think so? Just go surf on myspace, pick a person and start looking through the comments made by other visitors.

For the most part, that is: for a majority of myspace users,  I can figure out your location. I can deduce your sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers. I can find out who your best friend is and I know that you and your friends like to drink alcohol, you like to smoke weed, party and hang out at that club down town. I have current pictures of you and friends and can deduce your weekly schedule. I can learn likes and dislikes and build a psychological profile, all of which can be used against you by any person, not to mention by the law. (Or Scientologist - aaaahhhh!) 

Some will argue that they have nothing to hide and to you I say,  "fine", "so be it". Maybe you have nothing to hide but the intelligence agencies do. Murders and pedophiles do. Governments do. I doubt the people who are hardcore conformist have large "intelligence files" but fellows like me have a few extra pages with side notes and lots yellow sticky notes. As it stands, I do not need to volunteer any additional information/pictures/profiles other than the avatar that I have already created for myself. I have no doubt that feds know exactly who this "Bhang" character is and I knew that would happen before ever deciding to "go all activist" on the internet. I mean really - I could die from blogging. That was a risk I was willing to take because my conscious would not allow otherwise, yet to those who have not put themselves "out there" in internet land,  I send this warning: The military industrial complex, the new world order, the governments of the world, illuminati, would be foolish not to use the myspace network for intelligence purposes.  I do not even need hard evidence for this thread because it is (secret) yet apparent that myspace is an excellent place for snoops and eavesdroppers. Millions and millions of man hours all compiled into a database by volunteers. All searchable with a click of a button. Just fifty years ago that would sound like some fantasy magic trick. J. Edgar Hoover would have had a field day on myspace (not to mention buying something lacy from e-bay).

Interesting. I'll borrow a line from an old The The song, perhaps out context, when I write, "The path of least resistance leads to the garbage heap of dispair."

... always good to see a the the song being quoted! (that's from 'soul mining' isn't it?)

not too much to add to the thread, though i have noticed a tendency for people to become myspace junkies... friend collectors, which is just a bit wierd. i have a page... i really don't use it much... the people who try to friend me are usually bands or electronic artists (which is usually okay if the music is relevant to me) or 'click this link for my adult site' types (which just get binned).

i would see myspace as another dumbing down device for the herd... like the way tv has become. as bill hicks would say 'here's 57 channels of american gladiators, go back to sleep america'.

Again, I might be taking words out of context, and I really have to wonder where that child's parents are while she's got all those things stuck to her head, but I'm a little curious about the suggestion of the inverse to sharing one's ideas or perceptions, I suppose by feigning combinations of dumbness, deafness, or blindness. It shouldn't benefit any being on a course of development and discovery to remain consciously or willfully "boxed in" out of a sense paranoia, fear, or the possibility of a challenge to long-held beliefs. Choosing to remain "boxed in" or feigning sleep while striving for consciousness is a vibratory location, in at least one aspect, where one can easily be fed all manner of selfish reason and wind of doctrine.

What's been so far interesting to me about this forum, and it's a topic being explored in another timely thread, is not the variety or frequency of interference and counter-resistance I've experienced as I've begun to actively read and participate in the encouragement and exchange of ideas here, but how I now perceive that interference and resistance.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but what occurred to me while I looked at the collage of images of antiquiated mass storage devices is that each graphic was perhaps created for a completely different purpose than what they're currently being assembled for.

I am pretty confident that logistically, it would be very gruelling time consuming to build profiles on every myspace/internet user.   And fruitless, depending on TPTB's motives - that's another big blank for me ---- WHY? 

Anyway, the whole idea of a national ID card is nauseating, they're propably going to be introduced in Australia too *shudder*.  'Marked and owned' is the phrase that comes to mind which gives me the heebiegeebies.

What's with the pictures of the servers and the little girl?

There is no getting around anything.    J

Soon you won't be able to use a pc without one of these on it:

Myspace intends to build the psychological profiles for said agencies.

Myspace is also a great tool for the "graduates" of Wackenhut prison systems.

my account was

www.myspace.com/911zionistjob

It has been deleted in the end of July. I don't know who deleted it, but I know the reason: I was criticising zionism.

It also gets deleted if you don't click the 'confirm you still want to use myspace' link they send to your email. That happened to me
and I thought it got deleted but apparently I didn't click this link they send periodically.

I'm not convinced that these sites are being used for surveillance (to be honest, I doubt that most people would be of much interest to the powers that be), but I'm very wary of the fact that social networking sites in general, Myspace especially, can be very useful for nutty individuals to stalk.  About 9 months ago, a 15 year old girl was stalked and killed by an ex-army father and son duo   -  She thought her and the father were having the beginning of a romance.  Very sad and frightening.

I agree. When I first read the original post I smiled as I looked at the camera (that's probably off) on my computer with the thought that if anyone were using that as a means of surveillance, then I'd have very little to worry about.

I suppose that when psyops data or the like is being gathered as by such groups as intelligence agencies all things are considered, but I'd have to wonder about the sophistication of an operation which relies chiefly upon one's  personality and social networking page for information. I'd also have to wonder about the intentions and method of the individual who's participating in the activity of social networking across something as expansive as the Internet and as vast an online community as Myspace.com

Still, it is a strange and sad thing to read that some young or naive person advertised themselves in a certain way, possibly for companionship, and was either lured or wandered off into the woods without a system of checks for safety or protection in place and was subsequently eaten by bears.
