The Internet started out as a decentralised communication system designed to stay working through nuclear war. That is - it was conceived as a military use.
Military research and applications includes educational institutions.
Decentralised thinking made use of anarchic hippies.
While it may seem trite, Tolkien's fable posited the worship and subjection to 'techos' with the idea of the 'magic rings' that all operated on the Internet of Rings - and the palantír (seeing stones) were like the Internet in that the unwary were simply sucked into Sauron's wll who also had a palantír - and the strong willed could wrest free to see many things far off - but were not so free as they believed and saw things that fed their despair and to then work Sauron's will via the undermining of their own through pride. (Denethor).
The basis for mind or market capture is to give out free sweets or cheap credit - something too good to be true - grab it while you can - and then choke back the supply to the established dependency, as a means to train the captives to behave so as to be allowed to live - or of course ripped off and left to die, or sickened and killed for profit (the role of predator established over the role of meat).
However - your dismissal of the Internet is unfounded. Although even as we speak it is being choked back or censored so as to operate as a limiting and controlling of narrative dictate (settled consensus expert science etc) - the Internet is a window of opportunity for re-education from a willingness to question and explore or consider various facets of any issue rather than take the meds. But the basis from which to do so does not come from outside - being as awakening responsibility to self-honesty instead of running under a spell (conditioned thought-response).
I don't see or expect ANY fair consideration of ANY evidences presented in the framing of the accusations. The very framing itself is the trap. The trap is designed in every way to induce reactions that strip the mark of their full wits and thus to compromise or incriminate themself.
Malcolm HAS replied as he did and so that is now done. I feel that all who appeal to reason and call for sympathy in a true cause to others are played for naiveté by an undercurrent of denial that is the first to accuse 'denialism' in others - and the first to worship helplessness and 'innocence' in victims that the accused are then smeared with.
I write all the time to a thought-reversal that underlies a world in which “Everything is BACKWARDS; everything is upside down! Doctors destroy health, Lawyers destroy justice, Universities destroy knowledge, Governments destroy freedom, Major media destroys information, And religions destroy spirituality". (Michael Ellner) - but to little understanding - because the social construct overrides the true relational being in exactly the way the Internet of Rings (Things) is being rolled out - at vast and advance capital investment globally - irrespective of apparent political factions.
'He who can not be named' - (Potter) - is like realising that power (of terror) operates through what cannot be openly discussed, criticised or challenged without attracting penalty from the power to deliver it. Only a token few need be made example of (Wakefielded) so as to silence others in self-protective self-censor. Show trials are nothing new. The public view is asserted and incentivised regardless the facts and this is business as usual for power by fear and deceit.
Back to Tolkien. 'Technos' is not just clever or complex financial instruments by which to conceal toxic debt - but that same kind of thinking applicable to all communication and exchange. And as the usurping and replacement of creative relational endeavour - which it suckles on as a dependent even while poisoning and hollowing its host. (You).
Choosing NOT to use the 'Ring' is not pacifism as an ideal, but the yielding or releasing of the urge to personal power - which at best is a self-inflated fantasy, but always becomes a vindictive and hateful reaction to all that does not play a supporting role to a sense of self-specialness.
Choosing not to take the bait of the deceiver is allowing an inner discernment to reveal what is truly present and abide in what is true as an integrity that excludes no one - though they may choose not to accept it for themselves if they are protecting invested illusions - but of that will they then become aware - and thus their mask becomes tighter to maintain and pretend real.
We have choice or we would be robots. But we do not decide what the choice is between. Truth is a matching resonance of recognition of coherency and congruency. Illusions demand sacrifice of truth in order to pass off in its place. Fear is division, and works a mind of concealment - unless consciously NOT chosen. Now we have stepped across the line fear says 'DO NOT CROSS!' and now we need full presence of mind to learn to navigate in coherency with our situation - both as it presents and as we are interpreting it.
Persecution in this sense is an opportunity to deepen our faith in willingness FOR truth - by refusal to give allegiance to illusions. Or it can be used to feed a sense of self-specialness in grievance as a basis from which to justify hate as 'power'.
Another way of seeing this is that we can respond in like kind and persist the passing of guilt, hate and sacrifice in our world and down the generations - or we can let the buck stop here and only give as we in truth would receive and process the loveless within a willingness to heal and be healed. (Of course you can take a drive and shout at everyone if that works to open the emotional into a recognition of what runs beneath - but only if it can be done safely. Discerning what is imagined from what is current is 'mindfulness' although I have some issue with the term.
We are not as conscious as our thinking tells us. We are not as our thinking tells us - but it can serve who we truly are rather than masking over and denying us. Centring ourselves in stillness or nature opens the qualities in which to use thought sanely - until we become lost in reaction - hence opening discipline of inner listening instead of reacting is freedom lived - not merely idealised or wished for.
