Spying is deceiving

Can someone remind me what satellites are meant for again? Are the lights there to broadcast frequencies that enable our cellphones to work or do they send signals that make wireless routers work? Maybe there is more to it then we have been informed. Google earth is a website that allows you to look at any home around the world. All one has to do is input an address and a still picture of the home pops up on your screen. You can zoom in or out. If normal civilians can have access to this, I wonder what the government have access too?

I found another author who has theories of his own. He believes that the satellites in the skies hold secrets. They are actively watching the public. He uses a lot of sarcasm to provide information. You can tell that he is a wise-cracking guy. Most people that write or talk about this kind of thing are dead serious about the subject. But the author's sense of humor is used in an intelligent way. For example, his heading displays that all conspiracies, tips, suggestions, and comments are welcome, even insults. He even puts his email address in the heading. This allows readers to feel comfortable. You can assume to find some simplicity reading his piece. Most conspiracies are complexed and some readers can get lost in the translation.

The author's whole design from top to bottom exposes the truth about the government. The background he has is not flashy, just plain white. The blog that I followed did not have a single picture posted. But he did have a money toll counting for the budget spent on the Irag war. he had it posted on the side of his page. He claims that $420,000,000,000 was the cost in 2007. Below the cost, he has another one actively counting. More than likely, the toll on the bottom is a visual loop. But it shows his determination to inform the public about the budget crisis. He even added an Amazon.com that lists some books on the subject matter. In other words, he allows the readers to seek some truth themselves. Since he posted his email, he shows his willingness to learn discoveries others have found.
He is aware of his audience's intelligence. In a way, he understands that some people might not catch on, so he uses analogies to describe how the government operates. The average Joe would be able to understand his theory this way. He explains the government's plan with metaphors. He should have used the term 'spy machine' to break it down to those who are dumb witted. His argument points out how they want to shoot down the satellites before it collapses. The government fear that the machine can land anywhere spilling secrets. He states that the satellites have been advanced that they can see through walls and roofs. The author is on the ball with his facts. Here are some images from the movie "The Dark Knight"
^^^^^^^--> The image that I have arrows pointed to is the device Batman uses. He can locate specific voices through images. As long as you are on a cellphone, he can see your movements and pinpoint your exact location. This was a subliminal message for audiences. They showed people that the technology was possible. The author does not mention this, but I will email him this picture to help enlighten his theory. He offers statistics that the news won't share with the public. For example, he talks about the toxic levels from the debris during 911. You can tell that he has been well informed. He makes it known that he will continue to research by telling us to continue looking at the skies.

Conspiracies hold truth

The habitants of today's world are clueless about what is going. Modern day technology and the News have everybody feeling comfortable. They are comfortable to a point where if one reveals the truth to them, they simply ignore it with a brick wall of ignorance. We have all been comfortable before. When one is comfortable, he or she does not want to be 'bothered'. In other words, people do not want to be bothered with the truth. For example, Michael Moore's infamous movie Fahrenheit 911 provides evidence that George Bush Jr. was apart of the 'terrorist attacks'. After the movie, the world was still convinced that Bin Laden was the one behind it.

I found a author who also reads between the lines with inquisitive intellect. He believes that the media destroys some of the world's greatest athletes with drug accusations. Unlike my theories, he specializes in the doping scandals. Media Reports is the terminology he uses to express his theories. His intended audience are the 'thinkers' who think out the box. He is not trying to persuade people to believe his theory, this is more of an informing approach. I believe that the simple minded people of this world, won't know where to begin understanding the content of his blogs.

He has a plain white background. I feel that he chose it to prevent distraction from the truth. The plain white background works because it has a serious tone to it. He lets readers know that he can care-less about his blog design. The blogger's page looks informative and has the same style internet news have. The author's writing style might confuse some. The reason why is because he doesn't write in a essay form. He throws stuff around and it is hard to follow the main argument. However, his main focus exposes the scandal dealing with these hardworking athletes. He provides pictures of the subjects he addresses. He labels the pictures with accurate time, place, and date. He claims that the car accident of Usain Bolt was a failed execution attempt.

The author claims that they tried to physically harm Bolt since they couldn't get his blood sample. He states that the reason why they want the blood sample is to trick the athlete into competing again. So when they compete again, thats when the accusations come. This time they will have proof that enhanced drugs were detected, because the doctors/scientist have been sabotaging the blood samples. By doing so, they promote the power of the enhanced drug.

The author has a outline method of getting his facts out. He uses a numeric system stating the facts about the scandals. His piece is well organized. One would think he was a journalist the way he states his facts. He stresses that the media want to promote drugs by damaging the reputation of the athletes. He never addresses why they want to promote drugs; especially, since they are illegal in the first place. He provides links to the news articles baffling readers about the scandals. The author needs to clarify his claims more to make a powerful impact.

Material Communication

One would think that 'Communication' only happens between human beings, animals, and devices. Basically, living things. All though devices might not be considered as 'living' , if you look closer to them, you will see that they are. For example, your car key holds 'life'. When you insert your key in the ignition, your car turns on. The car becomes alive. The engine and all the parts communicate with one another. When you put your car in reverse, it reverses. Your automatic stick communicates to the gears that you as a Driver wants to back out. The gears recieves the message and your car backs out. The communication is not heard through voices, but the noises your car makes is equivalent to a stock market place. When your engine sputters, it is telling you the Driver that something is wrong. Which explains why mechanics always start your car to 'hear' what is wrong with it. Mechanics speak the car language, that is why they are mechanics. This is communication when you look at it from this perspective.

In another case, commuincation also happens with non-living things. For example, the way you dress can communicate to others what kind of person you are. If you wear dirty clothes with holes in them, one would assume that you are a bum. On the other hand, if you wear suits and ties all the time, then it can be assume that you are a business man. When you think about it, it is another form of 'communication' in a non-verbal way.

In the world of articles and magazines, authors use red or bold letters to scream for attention. According to Michale Moore's book/article "Idiot Nation", he addresses that America is a country full of idiots. Through his statistics, a large percentage of Americans don't read. He claims that most have drowned in the media world, and nobody has time to read the paper or books. Especially, in a world like today where everything is digitized, it is hard to go back to the 'physical' world where eveything could be touched, tortured, you get the idea.

As a marketing strategy, the red or bold letters used in any publication digital or not can attract more viewers than plain letters. So if Michale Moore's theory is right, then that will mean that authors who compose material have to get their hands dirty dealing with the 'illiterate' world. By getting their hands dirty, they have to false advertise or get to the point quickly. For example, Walmart always emphasizes on how customers will save when they shop. "Pay less, Save more" is in red letters and the Walmart name is in white. They would rather sell their slogan first before the name. Since the economy is in bad shape, their tactic works. People wanna get more without spending a fortune. Walmart is able to uphold their word with their low prices. Which explains why they are the dominant force in the market business.
