Venezuela: In Defense of the Internet while it still lasts

The international attack on the Internet has begun. Also in Venezuela
by law the usage of the Internet is regulated. Especially here in
Venezuela, we should use the Internet for anticipatory and emancipatory
purposes while it still is lasting, this won't be the case for very
long anymore. If we did not have news and information sites like
Aporrea, VHeadline, Venezuelanalysis, Abrebrecha, Ensartaos, and a few
others, we would practically know nothing about daily political
occurrences in Venezuela.
Orwellian 'Big Brother' is already launching his 'Brave New World'.
Since ages, ever since the division of human society into classes, into
masters and slaves, and the original accumulation of capital in the
Mediterranean region, to perpetuate themselves all rulers developed
ideological systems of body, mind and thought control of their
'subjects'. In fact, culture, religion, customs, norms, morals,
'information', mass media and education are still the main instruments
for the eventual construction of a possible global 'Mental Holocaust',
directed and carried out by a 'One World Government' economically based
in total corporate concentration and monopolization.
Internet was invented by the Pentagon to serve military purposes; it
has been placed at the disposal of the public not out of human love,
but for achieving 'full spectrum dominance', and for globalizing
'military humanism'. Inter alia, Internet is being used in combination
with other military 'toys', like HAARP, CERN, spy airplanes and
satellites, and the Global Positioning System, ... hence, all are there
for the sake of military reconnaissance, intelligence, vigilance, surveillance,
mass manipulation and data mining.
Of course nothing is secure on the Internet, not even our computers;
Big Brother has the master key to all our 'privacy'. And yet, while it
still lasts, we have an international information source about which
neither Marx nor Trotsky could dream about. The problem is that we are
over flooded with 'disinformation' and could not so rapidly learn to
differentiate truth and reality from big lies and virtual reality. An
infinitesimal percent of Internet users create home pages and blogs to
reveal global capitalist exploitation, domination, racism and
destruction of society and our natural habitat. However, to find
millions of brains to grasp the facts, which openly are hanging
everywhere in the air, is a job for Sisyphus. Precisely to accomplish
this is the objective of mind control, of the global 'Mental
Holocaust'.
On Internet, like nowhere else, we can still get the means to develop
human consciousness, a class consciousness, provided that we still have
a sound intellectual capacity, above all, a sound knowledge about
logic, political economy, science and philosophy, in a word, of
Marxism.
Who should fear to be called a modern anti-capitalist, a socialist or a
Marxist, would be already a victim of global corporate fear, a conditio qua non for establishing a
'one world state', would be already on the 'information highway'
towards the Mental Holocaust.
Big Brother currently is concluding his search for 'terrorists',
especially for scientific actors and philosophic thinkers, in this
gigantic battle, in the 'War of Idea'.
Most of us already are loving Big Brother, but many 'fighters', who
still trust in the power of the 'proles', like Winston Smith, are
continuing the struggle of and for humanity in Venezuela, Cuba,
Honduras, Greece, France, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Egypt, Palestine,
Gaza, the Niger Delta, the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere.
Without the Internet we would not even know about all these valiant
global class struggles.
Exactly this corporate imperialism wants to curtail or even eliminate
now ... many websites and blog spots are already, censured, blocked and
eliminated by the USA. Other capitalist governments and states in the
interest of hiding their Big Lies to the working masses, are rapidly
following suit.
Without the Internet we would have to resort again to our African
drums, indigenous smoke rings and pipes, messenger doves (which may
fall dead from the intoxicated skies) and to Dracula's stagecoach to
deliver our mails, speeches, articles and news. What would really serve
our purposes would be galactic telepathy and teleportation.
