The Port Portiere Pecuniary Peccadillo

America For Sale: The Dubai Ports Peccadillo

If only you knew what was going on in the wide world of business, you would understand the dangers of the Market Media Matrix. The recent Port Portiere Pecuniary Peccadillo should wake up most Americans to the realization that everything in America is for Sale. This sad fact was brought to the attention of "Joe six pack" back in September of 2001. The people who work for a living are too busy watching "American Idol", and "Desperate House Wives", to understand they are living in the world that George Orwell created many decades ago.

Back in the fall of 2001, Americans did not care who was controlling the airline security screening, they were just happy to have cheap airline tickets. The average Americans doesn't care when they call a "800" number for technical support, where the connection is located. Americans do not care when their investments are being manipulated by foreign investors through programmed trading, as long as the prices keep going higher. Foreign investors using our stock market like a gigantic gambling casino with long term investors sitting at the loser's table. The global financial markets go beyond borders, language and culture. The large amounts of cash are being moved (S.W.I.F.T)ly throughout the world's trading markets, silently moves between countries with the Federal Reserve's consent. This week's Port Portiere Pecuniary Peccadillo should make it obvious that everything in America is for Sale to the highest bidder. The Panama Canal is owned by the Chinese. The Indiana and Illinois toll roads are being bought by a consortium of international investors. There are several military suppliers being bought by foreign companies. Isn't it a shame that the Army's new black berets were being manufacture in China, until enough people passed the word. Isn't it a shame that there is no television manufactures in America.

So no one cares until their security and safety is in jeopardy. Americans demanded that only the government could control the airline security function, hence the newly created TSA. Now that we feel better making the TSA part of the federal government, yet studies show the airport screening process is far from perfect. The purpose of politicians are to protect their constituents, yet the politician are only concerned with re-election and to profit from their positions of power on select committees. The 45 day waiting period was waived by low level bureaucratic minions at the subtle bequest of major political power brokers. There are reports of Republican Bob Doyle legally representing the Abu-Dhabi consortium and Secretary John Snow who used the same consortium when he was working for CSX railroad.

The amount of money being spent by this administration should be questioned by members of the Republican party. If the present administration were a Democrat, the Republican lock steppers would be shouting for fiscal responsibility, yet they are given a free reign in spending like a drunken sailor in Thailand.

The market media matrix broadcast the headlines of " Six American Ports for sale" to a Abu-Dhabi consortium, DP world. Now "Joe six pack" assumes that the company will control all aspects of the ports. This is not true, but in the market media matrix world, sensational headlines sell newspapers. Since the Headlines encourage readers to buy newspapers, their ad rates improve. The politicians, who don't want to be caught sleeping at the helm also jump on the popular cry of the headlines. This is a mid-term election year, and no politician wants to be on record of letting this popular event pass by without getting their 15 minute of fame. Even the truth is for Sale in America, based on ratings!

In the most shocking of all aspects of this debate is the fact that no politicians came forward with the sale of the the port portiere pecuniary peccadillo until news reached talk radio shows. As President Bush tried to justify the decision of turning over management of the ports, vowing to veto any legislation to stop the handover, all the politicians, both democrats and republicans now want to investigate the sale decision. President Bush further stated that all security aspects were scrutinized and no security risk was associated with the handover. Later this week, President Bush now says he didn't know anything about it until it was in the media spotlight. As the week ends, the news headlines have turned to other events in the middle east with a possible civil war breaking out in Iraq. The threat of civil war is caused by an Iranian intervention in the Iraqi internal affairs. Thanks to inadequate border security and a weak Iraqi army, the attacks will probably continue.

Meanwhile, on the home front, some good news if you believe "the glass is half full" with the economy and investments. History of world market's are secular and time will tell if you are right.

Housing to Spur Global Economic Slowdown?

According to a report in the Washington Times, a home sales slowdown and recent drop in mortgage applications could pull the economy into deeper waters and, in the process, energize the arguments and political agendas of many. The Washington Times went on to say,
"The booming housing market has driven a third to a half of the growth in jobs in recent years. Economists estimate the housing bonanza is slowly coming to an end."

Trimtabs.com reports:

Estimated Global Equity Fund Inflows Exceed $2 Billion for Unprecedented Sixth Week. Meanwhile, Individual Investors Remain Wary of U.S. Stocks: U.S. Equity Fund Inflows Slump to $10 Million Daily.

Being 9 steps Ahead of the Curve,
(my past post concerning the Fed raising rates and the stock market, my article called Market Strength Index, 7-10-2001 in docsstockclock yahoo group)

I predicted the future market changes and the coming cyclical bear market in 2000 just before long term investors lost an estimated 9 trillion dollars.

The Fed created a liquidity trap, which has led them to a conundrum of an inverted yield curve. A simple tax law change occurred which sparked the real estate wild fires of inflation in the housing market. The wild fires of inflation will be spread throughout the world with the commodity market and will be exacerbated by the Federal Reserve raising interest rates higher.

Google God Privacy Rights Part II

Someone in the Justice Department is reading Revelations. Revelation 17:5, “And upon her forehead was a name written. MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Do you think that description fits the Internet?

Image via Wikipedia

To think that everyone thought the internet was free, fun, and private. There were live websites where you could witness the unfiltered searches from those on the internet. One such website was Metaspy.com, they provided viewers with entertainment value by allowing people to look at what others were searching for. However, that voyeur service which discontinued thanks to the Market Media Matrix effect.

I now receive the top searched words on the internet from WordTracker which tracks all the searched words on the internet. Why would someone track searched words? The most popular searched words are used to sell advertising of these searched words. The market Media matrix is creating profits through the internet by giving people what they want. For the Companies, they are giving people "ad words" to steer customers to their websites. For customers, they are trying to provide relevant content for a given "searched word". For webmasters, they are providing a guidelines for building websites based on what people are searching for. It is a vicious circle of creating profits through advertising and marketing.

I think the Justice Department should subscribe to the free subscription to find out what most people are searching for. The Market Media Matrix stories have the premise all wrong concerning the “Google God” reluctance to release search results in order to stop children from viewing porn sites. Remember, Google is a search engine with a huge advertising arm. Everyone who’s been around the internet more than a month knows what many people are searching for. It should be no surprise that sex is at the top of the list. The first command to man in the Bible, Genesis 1:28, was to be “fruitful and multiply“.

The Justice Department wants to protect “children from porn” by finding how prolific porn sites are. Is the Justice Department need from the "Google God" just another excuse to invade personal privacy or do they really want to protect children? I am for protecting children from porn, but against the way the Government wants to proceed.

The line between my rights of privacy and the Market Media Matrix have long ago been destroyed by the internet. The lines between government and parents rights of protection of their children has been destroyed also with the child protection laws. Now the government wants my internet search results destroying my privacy rights. Despite protest from Google, other major search engines like yahoo, AOL, and MSN have yielded to the governments requests.

Let's be clear about one thing, Google is not protecting my rights, they are protecting their rights of privacy, marketing, and advertising in the Market Media Matrix. The individual rights of privacy of the ordinary citizens were given up once you entered into the internet Market Media Matrix.

In the AGE of the INTERNET the children have adopted the technology faster than their parents. the internet has the whole world’s knowledge base just a click away. Having all knowledge integrated into one source is a two edge sword. The internet has good information and bad information. Parents are the protectors of children in the homes, however they have not taken the necessary precautions when it involves the internet. The home is where parents are the protectors, but in today's society parents have surrender protection responsibilities to others.

My niece was playing on the internet with her grandmother one day and she wanted to see what her "name.com" would bring up. You know what happened? I could hear a scream across the state line.... Luckily, the domain name is for sale, but that brings me to my next point. .

The fundamental question is “who determines the boundaries for our children, the government or the parents.

These lines have been blurred by liberal laws ushering in an era of governmental responsibility which can turn good parents into criminals. Parents cannot discipline their children using corporal punishment without the fear of someone reporting them to child protective services. A simple accusation brings in the government Gestapo with armed guards into a home stirring up emotional turmoil and instilling fear. Remember Elian?

Does Elian look scared or happy?

The rights of privacy have been shoveled into the trash can of the 19th century. You have no rights of privacy on the internet. Absolutely, positively, no privacy rights at all on the internet.

Every e-mail, every chat room message, every instant message, every comment you have written is forever archived with your name. Every time you visit a website, that website deposits a tracking cookie on your hard drive. Some cookies are benign while other cookies are designed with the ability to track your movements over the internet after you leave the website. These tracking cookies spy on your internet activities and send these reports to its creator. All parents with children should scan their hard drive for these tracking cookies to help protect their children from porn. There was an old commercial that asked, "it's 10 pm,do you know where your children are?" In today's world, you need to ask, "if your children are on the internet, do you know where they have been?

The simple answer to children accessing pornography is for parents to demand all porn sites have “dot xxx” designation. This simple name change will help parents retain control over their children's internet viewing without the intrusive government intervention on parent's rights of privacy. The questions every parent should be asking the Justice Department is why hasn't this simple name change been implemented? The answer lies within the Market Media Matrix between advertisers, corporations, and profits.

Take the “Red pill”

There are many big and well- known companies who do not want to be affiliated with porn sites. However, by using “dot.com” designation, these porn sites are camouflaged among the legitimate web sites. The internet service providers are secretly making huge profits from porn sites. These porn sites uses massive amounts of bandwidth and are charged significantly. Thereby earning larger profits for the major telecommunications service providers.

Just as AT & T made huge profits off of their 900 numbers and phone sex numbers years ago. If you knew that company “xyz” was making 70% or more of their profits by hosting porn, would investors continue to own their stock? No!

Once these porn sites are identified with a “dot xxx“ designation instead of “dot.com”, investors can make a moral investment decision. The realization that using a “dot.xxx“ designation to identify porn sites would sharply curtail the earnings and profits for the major telecom companies who host porn sites. If people's moral indignation over porn causes the telecom's stock price to fall, there will be less advertising to the Market Media Matrix and less profits for shareholders.

The internet is designed to make money from advertising, selling products and services, meanwhile privacy is surrendered for that convenience. Just remember, while you are visiting a website, 10,000 Market Media Matrix advertisers are watching you!

God Bless

Sapient Super Bowl Surveillance.

Sapient Super Bowl Surveillance.

Image via Wikipedia

The real super bowl is not the game itself, but the Sapient Stealth Surveillance of those who are attending the super bowl. In previous years after 911 there were many discussions on the safety and security of large media events using new technologies to enhance security. There is very little talk about these security measures, mainly due to their wide spread acceptance and realization that the Market Media Matrix has imposed these stealth surveillance measures, with or without your knowledge. As I have pointed out in previous blogs, the Google God is a False God; we are indeed living in an Orwellian society. Yet those who attend the Super Bowl and other sporting events are accepting the invasion of their privacy without as much as a whimper. The "dumbing down" of Americans has continued to the point where ignorance is bliss.

The Sapient Stealth Super bowl Surveillance begins before the events happen and before the arrival of many of its participants arrive in the city. Starting with the airports, hotels, and traffic lights, participants are monitored and tracked by their credit cards and cellular phones. Since 911, all new cell phone have a global positioning chip installed within each unit, owners are matched with phone records and credit cards verifying their true identities. During the events, every one's picture will be taken, cataloged, and criminal background inquiries made.

Earlier this week, we were told that cellar phone records can be made available to anyone through the internet. The legislatures only began to discuss laws concerning privacy when their phone records were being made public also. No one knows how long this has been going on, but is just another example of the Market Media Matrix infiltrating society's right to privacy for profit. History teaches us that absolute power corrupts absolutely; our society is heading toward absolute power within the Market Media Matrix substituting privacy for profit.

Google has been the focus of these issues lately due to their control over the internet for profit. They have been most notorious of penalizing those who oppose the Google God's commandments by accepting or declining inclusion of websites within their search index.

They have taken on well named corporations for violating the "Google Commandments" such at BMW and Dell. The case with BMW was ruled inappropriate behavior of creating doorway pages to their website. A serious violation of the commandments which was punished by removing all backward links from the BMW websites and assigning a rating of 0 on the Google scale (http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2006-02-04-n60.html)

IN the case of Dell, the Google God exposed private information to the pubic by indexing trade secrets on future lap top configurations. (http://networks.silicon.com/webwatch/0,39024667,39156123,00.htm)

Google's answer to theses simple privacy vs. profit concerns was the creation of a private internet which they can control and do with as they wish. The rumors are Google plans to take the internet private. (http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,9075-2023600,00.html)

The Market Media Matrix is starved for revenue there are plans to charge for sending email. The biggest proponents of these ideas are the major telecoms companies,(AOL), and Yahoo.
"Postage Is Due for Companies Sending E-Mail","Companies will soon have to buy the electronic equivalent of a postage stamp if they want to be certain that their e-mail will be delivered to many of their customers" This amounts to internet "blackmail" since paying customers will be assured of email delivery, while the non-paying customers are not. Postage Is Due for Companies Sending E-Mail.

The End of the Internet?

The major telecoms are also trying to privatize a "new internet" for a fee, in order to replace the revenue they are loosing from the free internet. "Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on your every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the "National Security Agency"(NSA).

Now with all the painted faces, people will begin to file into the stadium, to watch men play a sport, much like the gladiatorial days of Rome, cheering for their favorite side to win. They should know their false Gods are watching their every move. The Market Media Matrix has emerged it a formidable force. Sooner than later, the Market Media Matrix will have absolute power over everything you cherish in this life.

Ok, so you are watching the “game” at home...

Think you are safe from the Market Media Matrix?
Think again, you are watching the game on cable or satellite,
guess who is watching you?
