Controlling the Internet: Knowledge IS Power, and They Don’t Want You to Have it.
Nobody Wonders
I just read on Drudge that the inventors of the internet are lamenting how it’s changed for the worse. Not only are they censoring now, but type in a subject and you will get only what the people who control the internet now, want you to see.
Maybe one or two titles will come up, but that’s it. That’s what big money and governments can do to a good thing.
Forget Google. I remember Netscape. As far as finding information was concerned, Google is like going through a 4th grade educational level. Netscape, was college level.
Netscape was gold plated, incredible information for ANYBODY who wanted it. Google is…well…like walking through your local Target.
I remember using Netscape for a problem I had long ago. My son, who was in high school at the time, had trouble staying awake in school because he couldn’t get to sleep at night…he begged me for help. And so, once a week, I would take my mother to get her hair fixed, and then go spend an hour in the nearest library on Netscape, until it was time to pick her up from the hairdressers.
(Women from the Greatest Generation ALWAYS went to the hairdresser once a week, did you notice? God know, they all deserved it.)
Yes, I was on a mission to find out what was wrong with my young son. Back then, the internet was new, and most people did not even own a computer, and that included me.
I could not WAIT to get to the library to do research. Once you logged into Netscape and ask a question, in my case about sleep disorders, you would instantly get thousands of hits. The number would be on top, like “Sleep disorders.” 2,345 hits…
And voila! It was like hitting gold. For an information buff like me, it was the highlight of my day.
After a few weeks at the library, I found some really in dept articles written by the top professors at the top universities. I read like there was a fire in the house. Sure, some of it was beyond my comprehension, but I do believe I found the answer:
My son had a condition called Delayed Sleep Phrase Syndrome.
I printed the articles out, and took my son to a sleep disorder clinic which was run by…get this: a psychiatrist. I told him I thought my son had DSPS, and at the time, it cost a lot of money, but my son did a sleep over and the professor told me, “Well, your son sleeps fine!” Not a thing wrong with him!
I tried to talk some sense into that man. “Of course, he sleeps fine!” I said. People with DSPS sleep 14 to 16 hours once they fall asleep…. their circadian rhythm is off.” This doctor knew NOTHING about DSPS. He had never even heard of it.
Sadly, I went into the bathroom next to his office, sat on the floor and cried for over 2 hours.
I knew that without a correct diagnosis, the school would give him trouble. Sure enough, he showed up the first day of school, and they told him, “You can’t come in without a doctor’s explanation.”
Now, what happened after that is a long story I won’t go into here. Needless to say, that stupid psychiatrist who knew nothing about sleep disorders and YET was running a sleep clinic, changed my son’s whole life.
That’s another blog for another day.
Two years later, (After he had gotten his GED scholarship) I took him to another sleep clinic at one of the best colleges in the country: Washington University. Its graduates many a doctor and is known for its high level of medical students.
Sure enough, after much study, my son was diagnosed with DSPS. Men get out of the service with that condition.
And here’s the best part of what I learned from Netscape. I had read SO much from the internet about this disorder that I had a theory that sleep patterns can develop just like everything else when a child is exposed to certain lights. My son, who was born premature, had been under bilirubin lights 24/7 and I believed that it SET the SCN time clock that was in his hypothalamus. Everything in nature is ruled by this little clock.
Think of this…some people are night people, and some people are day people, and like everything else, the brain is forming just about everything from age 1 to 4 and there might be some kind of connection to it. Could exposure to light at a young age ‘set’ your proclivity to be one or the other?
I found out that DSPS has much in common with blindness. Most everyone has a 24-hour clock, but people with DSPS have a 36-hour. Once asleep, you can’t wake them up.
A young student there at the clinic asked his professors if he could make my theory his dissertation for his Ph.D, which he did.
I don’t know what became of his findings, but I BET if the internet had been allowed to be free of control, I would have been able to find out and read his dissertations. Netscape was full of them.
So, this is what I wonder…just how much information is HIDDEN from the public now? I remember when I could spend the whole day looking through thousands of articles on one subject: Now…sometimes you can’t find a damn thing. Google NOW, would take me to an Ambien commercial.
They really have ruined the internet. And let’s not even go to the fact that Obama gave it to the “international” overlords one day before he left office.
The authors of the internet know that the dark web and big money can’t be taken out…but Nobody Wonders how many others like me miss the REAL internet that once upon a time was a gift to us all?
I don’t think it’s EVER coming back.
That’s just my Nobody Opinion. And the world is a darker place for the fact that now, it’s being controlled.
Knowledge IS power. And THEY don’t want you having it. They want you to just post your adorable self on Instagram and tell us all what you had for breakfast.
Is it any wonder our citizens are so….clueless?
