You have in previous posts sounded cautionary notes in regards to the potential destructive impact that the internet can have on rendering things obsolete.
So honestly what I am perceiving is a two pronged approach you are taking as someone who is a member of special interest groups who both worries and fears that the Internet might erode the legitimacy or acceptability of those special interests though cautioning people to be especially wary of sources of information that challenge existing dogmas and special interests,
I could be wrong, but that’s the basic message I am gleaning from this and your other recent thread regarding the Internet.

I assure you Im not looking at the Internet from a Special-Interest-Group or Elitist standpoint in this thread and the thread you linked but from the viewpoint of a Paranoid (this thread) and the viewpoint of someone concerned about accuracy (other thread).
Dont read more into my threads than is there.This is really just the question of WHAT IF there is a hidden purpose, unseen?
For instance: Most youth have already been criminalized for Downloading music, books or movies. Its almost as if it has been allowed to happen.
I am not making the claim that there is a Conspiracy, merely asking "What if". Speculation. Why? Because I dont have the answers.
The benefits of the Internet which you have pointed out, are abundantly clear to me, to us. The benefits of free Communication and free flow of Information are clear. But we mustnt assume that a hypothetical conspiracy for world control is sold to the populace without offering that populace benefits.
It absolutely behooves the powers that be to make sure that the youth have access to music, especially modern music that is aimed at the lowest possible common denominator and limiting perspectives and ratcheting up fear and anger and other counterproductive perspectives. The fact that it can be criminalized is an added bonus, but the fact that it is criminal; a forbidden fruit so to speak also makes the fruit more tempting and valuable to the thieves. So here what we see is now that process of thinking beyond step one, the simple criminal complicity that is endangering and labeling people, to the next step which is how that music is then actually utilized in the thief’s own worst interest.

The very concept of the internet was established a long time ago. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they allowed this technology. They knew exactly what information would be accessed and supplied their own versions. Our supposed knowledge from the internet is exactly what they want us to know.
This is all just a theory on my part. As is this next one. What if they have sequences of letters and numbers, that when searched expose the hidden archives? You could access from anywhere there is an internet connection with a simple search code. It's something I would have embedded.
Since the military has been using the Internet long before anyone else, we probably only have the "for the masses" version and they probably do have their private areas + everything that has ever happened on the Internet stored somewhere.

So the real hypothetical is can you Skyfloating think of ways to derail the conspiracy and highjack it or are you destined to just be a pawn on the board?

If you wanted total control of all of earths minds you wouldnt get it with something people hate. You'd get it with what everyone loves. With what everyone willinglly embraces. Thats where people least suspect danger.
If the Internet were a mind or a person, it woul already have much of what it needs.
It knows who you are.
It knows where you live.
It knows what you read.
It knows what you buy.
It knows what you like.
It knows what you dislike.
It knows who your friends are.
It knows what you believe.
It knows what you Download.
You willingly provided this information. If it wanted to find something against you, it probably could. And even if it couldnt find anything against you it could easily make something up. Information, whether true or false, spreads quickly these days. So if it doesnt like you, thats tough luck.
Even if you hadnt provided all that Information and even if it didnt know everything about you, you`d probably still be hooked to its hypnotic lure and the promise of access to all the worlds information.

world wide "web"
Inter "net"
They are both devices used to capture.

Perhaps the forces of evil travel or exist through electromagnetic forces, and this is how they are able to manipulate and control the brains of those they attack, much like HAARP could do?
If this is true, then convincing humanity to construct a "bridge" (the grid) for them to more fully exist and interact in this world would be a necessary precursor to the Internet, which could be an a mechanical substitute for the presence of the Holy Spirit, or as some have mentioned, global awareness or consciousness.
A handy way to do lots of things, say lots of things, be everywhere and nowhere, and to quickly disseminate information all over the world, as we know.
