It\u2019s natural to look at political and economic trends. The state of religion also gives a good indication of where any culture may be headed. When the political leaders are nothing more than soulless whores, rubberstamping corporate policies and when the economy reflects the wholesale theft of the people\u2019s industry by a handful of international thieves, you can bet there\u2019s trouble on the way. When religion becomes a travesty upon the teachings of the founders in tandem with the aforementioned, you\u2019re looking at a dangerous highway into darkness but\u2026 when the culture has turned into gum from a hot sidewalk on the bottom of your shoes, then there is no telling just how bad it might want to get. It\u2019s not accidental. The key to understanding what is happening is to recognize that it is not accidental.<\/p>\n<p>Enter Twitter. It\u2019s hard to read about anything these days without some mention that some Twit has had something to say about it on Twitter. This is one more example of the general public looking at something but not into it. What does this site do? It gives you something like 144 characters to make a comment. Can\u2019t you do this already anywhere you want to say something? Does this Twitter provide any other service or any service whatsoever that would make it useful or necessary in relation to anything that is already out there? No. All of a sudden though\u2026 right out of the blue\u2026 there is this interface for disposable and witless banality that is now lit up like Broadway on a Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>I went there exactly one time to see the interface. What it is is internet text messaging. It\u2019s a virtual cell-phone. What\u2019s more interesting is <a href=\"http:\/\/slog.thestranger.com\/slog\/archives\/2009\/05\/07\/this-is-why-twitter-is-useful\">what people are saying about it<\/a> (see the following comments). When you\u2019ve got something that\u2019s composed of high fructose, spun through forced hot air turbines into wall board insulation, you\u2019ve got Twitter. I\u2019ve seen one functioning value which Twitter provides. Twitter allows you to determine the useful value of any person in your life simply by discovering whether they use it or not.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmonkey.com\/print\/blog\/8_Cool_Twitter_Tools\">hype is mind boggling<\/a>. However, if you look at the undergrowth of real human opinion you find something very different from the left-handed skyhooks and ubiquitous hoopla\u2026 something very different indeed. Type in \u2018Twitter is\u2019 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/\">in Google and look at the drop down menu<\/a>. People are not as stupid as we are led to believe. Our being led to believe that people are increasingly more stupid than we ever imagined is a calculated presentation that can only have something truly dark and dangerous in mind. It\u2019s an automatic jump from Twitter to Twits.<\/p>\n<p>I have never seen anything like the Twitter epidemic. Look at how many times it now appears in any article in the MSM. It generates no real income yet it is benefiting from free publicity like no other item of the type has ever received before. There\u2019s more to what\u2019s going on here than what meets the eye. Given that there is nothing going on with Twitter at all makes it very, very strange.<\/p>\n<p>These days, when I drive through towns it is impossible not to note a particular phenomenon. At any hour of the day, on any street where I may be driving, every pre-teen and teenage girl is tapping away on a cellphone; teenage boys as well but less often. The amount of people at all ages who are using cellphones at any time\u2026 in their cars, on the street, no doubt on the toilet as well is pandemic. And what were they doing before they were doing this? I especially like it when they are vigorously bouncing their crossed leg over the one below while so engaged.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all in the underbrush. You can see the industrial green shoots of coming permutations pushing up through the cultural Kudzu. You have only to look but people do not look. The important thing is not what people are doing but what they are not doing. With each year the degree of superficial interest in transitory, pop trivia increases. Everything is five miles wide and one inch deep. What is the point?<\/p>\n<p>The point is the direction in which life is being herded. Everything is instant and artificial. It\u2019s processed foods, soda pop and designer coffee. It\u2019s the highly destructive ingredients that go into them. It\u2019s the people who laugh at you when you mention it. It\u2019s the political trends where you don\u2019t have to do anything; all you have to do is say something. Saying is the new doing. Foreign aid and rebuilding of nations destroyed under false pretenses has nothing to do with aid or rebuilding. The money is given for the purpose of being paid out to corporations <a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectcensored.org\/top-stories\/articles\/11-the-scam-of-reconstruction-in-afghanistan\/\">to the tune of 86% of the outlay<\/a>. The products and services given are then inflated in costs to several times of any actual cost.<\/p>\n<p>We have come to the point where lies are the substance of life. We have come to the point where the lives of others are nothing more than casualties in a video game. We have come to the point where there is no point and Twitter is going to let you know just how true that it. We\u2019ve come to the point where people believe life on Earth began 6000 years ago and they are doing <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Nightline\/FaithMatters\/story?id=4467337&#038;page=1\">museum tours to imprint this ugly fantasy into the minds of their children<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Think about this\u2026 look what has happened to every element of the culture in the last few decades and imagine\u2026 imagine where it\u2019s headed. Keep in mind what occurred around Katrina. Keep in mind the now irrefutable truth about the recent wars, strong-armed through Congress by Zionist catamites. Keep in mind the recent scandals in the United Kingdom concerning their Parliamentarians and the theft of public funds. Keep in mind the new expansions of conflicts by a president elected to end them. Keep in mind the destruction of the educational system and the plague of political correctness running through every level of it. Then there\u2019s Twitter. It\u2019s everywhere. It\u2019s got an unbelievable engine of \u2018in your face\u2019 name recognition embedded in nearly everything you read in the main stream.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to delve too deeply into what I\u2019m trying to get the reader to recognize because I believe the reader knows what I\u2019m talking about. The most curious thing is that many, many people recognize what I myself can see. The CNN poll of a few years ago showed that over 80% of the American people believed there was something wrong with the official version of 9\/11. Observe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DW9sesBESSs\">the behavior of Zio-Joe Biden<\/a> when confronted about it a couple of days ago. Look at the looting of the American public for the benefit of the very people who caused the financial crisis. <\/p>\n<p>We know one thing and the press tells us another. We want one thing and the politicians give us another. We want health and well being and the corporations give us deadly products to ruin our health for the prosperity of the AMA-Pharmaceutical combine. I found out the other day that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/canada\/article\/645344\">major health insurers have billions invested<\/a> in the tobacco industry.<\/p>\n<p>Forget the religious angle concerning the implications of the present state of existence. The meaning of these things can be intuited though objective reasoning. You can take hard math and calculate where this is going to end up.<br \/>\nWhat was once important is no longer important. What is completely unimportant is now critically important. Twitter isn\u2019t an accidental name. Consider the meaning of \u2018twittering away\u201d in its various possibilities of meaning.<br \/>\nI haven\u2019t said what I wanted to say because, after all, we\u2019re talking about Twitter. Life is now a soundbyte. The good news, I guess, is that when life as we knows it, encounters its certain destruction\u2026 it won\u2019t mean anything. A giant pig is going to appear in the sky, silhouetted in a Warner Brothers logo and the last thing you\u2019re going to hear is \u201cTh-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-That&#8217;s all folks!\u201d That last sentence is just about exactly at the limit of a Twitter entry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundclick.com\/bands\/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=48978&#038;songID=6407460\">Big God and Mr Fate<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">Original source: http:\/\/zippittydodah.blogspot.com\/2009\/06\/twitter-and-life-in-shitter.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ancient Babylon had its own infamous tower.
