MySpace isn't cool, it isn't hip and it isn't trendy. It represents a cyber trojan horse and the media elite's last gasp effort to reclaim control of the Internet and sink it with a stranglehold of regulation, control and censorship.

Since Rupert Murdoch's $580 Million acquisition of MySpace in July 2005, it has come from total obscurity to now being the 8th most visited website in the world, receiving half as many page hits as Google, despite the fact that on first appearance it looks like a 5-year-old's picture scrap and scribble book.

MySpace is the new mobile phone. If you don't have a MySpace account then you belong to some kind of culturally shunned underclass.

What most of the trendy wendy's remain blissfully unaware of is the fact that MySpace is Rupert Murdoch's battle axe for shaping a future Internet environment whereby electronic dissent, whether it be against corporations or government, will not tolerated and freedom of e-speech will cease to exist.

Oh, I love "the conspiracy" perspective on just about anything. This site is chock full of conspiracy theories. I've explained the origin of my love for conspiracy theories many times before, but its always worth repeating. Conspiracy theories get repeated. Its the nature of the game.. It can't be resisted.

This back office held all the secrets of the universe, including the most closely guarded secret of the ages: what salsa we used. "The end times are here my friend. The shits going down! What do you want on your taco?"

You name it, I heard about it, at length. Too much length usually. It did wonders to fine tune my bullshit detector. It got to the point where I had to do serious and constant research to keep sanity in check. I truly loved every moment of it.

Good conspiracy theories always have a few things in common.. They start off with something completely plausible and (sometimes) reasonable, even if its an incitement of something. By the end, they wind up some place way off the reservation of reality, but go close enough to the edge every so often to keep it all almost somehow plausible. The bullshit detector is forced to align against many angles of incidence. The conspiracy theory must do this while at the same time avoid introducing any new information. The end result of the message must always be "it is inevitable, and we are completely screwed".
