7. I realize how much time has passed.....

...as I watched the news and read about the Church hearings in the newspapers at the time when it was happening. The passage of time does not delimit the CIA's aims nor their capabilities, rather they've used the time to expand and improve their techniques.

My point was not with respect to the Internet's role in all this per se (where the youngsters get their news from), but the MSM's role as my note above in the OP indicates. That is where the bulk of the propaganda is spewed out to the masses who still rely upon this poisoned fount for their information.

As for the porn issue, I ask -- who benefits? I know who gets off, but who benefits financially or from some other kind of metric that we can't fully comprehend from our present perspective? Who really owns all of these porn websites? Deep Throat told us to: ''Always follow the money." In this case it's problematic to do so. But the use of distraction is another useful ploy a government (shadow or otherwise) can use to defuse the masses. And distract them from paying attention to the reality happening all around them, as we quickly proceed to hell in our own personal handbaskets of orgasmic bliss.

- Likewise, if 30% of the potential troublemakers are at home fapping to porn, then they're not out in the streets causing trouble, and protesting against NATO, eh?
