-Caveat Lector-
Do you not think that military intelligence and the zillion other
intelligence agencies in USA are having some fun with the internet? I once
had fun with a US intelligence agency (forget which one) which had a booth
at a CPAC Conference in DC. I walked up to the attendant and said "What is
intelligence?" I'll never forget the expression on his face!

Let's put this forward as a "thesis" and see if it has any merit. The
internet is a system used to control the thinking of the masses while
maintaining the illusion that they are engaging in free expression. Could
the Pentagon have foreseen that when they created the (D)ARPA net? Well,
it is their job to foresee such things.
