A Recap Would Be Impossible

We've been keeping up with the news, and boy are we more paranoid than ever. Of course, if paranoia is an irrational fear then, well, we're not paranoid at all.

Oh great.

Suffice to say, there's no way we can recap all of the things that have happened on the privacy front since our long sleep began, all those months ago.

See you soon. (Probably literally.)

Subliminal Messages Might Work (fnord)

Original article at at Slashdot. Read this: "University College London researchers have found the first physiological evidence that invisible subliminal images do attract the brain's attention on a subconscious level. The wider implication for the study, published in Current Biology, is that techniques such as subliminal advertising, now banned in the UK but still legal in the USA, certainly do leave their mark on the brain."

We've never bought into the popular nonsense that subliminal messages don't work. Of course they do. But those who are in a position to take advantage of the technologies of mass distribution don't want us to know that.

We also believe that there are other, more powerful techniques that allow the powers that be to manipulate our brains. We believe this because some countries, like Great Britain, have outlawed subliminal messages, and that can only mean that mass brain-washing tech has moved on. They're just behind the curve in the USA.

Ignore this post.

Times Don't Change

Let's see. It's been nearly a year since our last post. Nearly two years since our last substantive post. As we've explained before, we've lost our taste for blogging. Sticking one's neck out on the Internet is a bad idea (and no, we're not talking about those nude photos from Spring Break '92). Still. . .

We still read the news. We still listen to the people on the streets. The things we hear do not match up.

The public reaction is a joke. We admit that we started this blog out of a sense that our perfectly irrational feelings of paranoia might be of some use to the general public. The average person who swans about his life, who wouldn't believe for a second that there are threats out there they need to be concerned about.

But no; nobody cares.

So we're back. Even though the risks are great, we're back.
