Does Intense Exposure Lead To Revolution?

  To put it more precisely, does a trend of intense exposure worldwide lead to dramatic changes that I call "revolution" for lack of a better term?

  I have never witnessed anything like the intense sense of exposure that seems to exist today. The elite seem incapable of doing anything nefarious without their plans being exposed on the internet.

  In addition, it often seems as if historical mysteries are being solved: what really happened to the Hindenberg, what happened to Judge Crater, and yesterday - that Nixon was guilty of treason in regard to peace talks with Vietnam ( and LBJ knew it).

  There is a great deal that I could go on about - we also seem to be moving ever closer to global economic meltdown and North Korea is stirring up trouble because its soldiers are starving and defecting at 7-8 times the past rate.

  I think that these trends could be positive over the long term - but seeing that requires a bit of optimism and faith.

  Will exposure simply make people give up? Or will a new order, from the bottom up- not the top down, arrive?

  Things indeed, are getting weird. I hope nobody has money in Cyprus!

  Megatron = i agree with what your saying. I see it as man/society is constantly evolving, refining, improving.

  Easier and Better = housing, cars, lifestyles, medicine etc. We are so much more advanced in this day.

  Knowledge is power.

  Its so much harder now for people to hide things and have secrets.

  Megatron, what is your source for the information about North Korean soldiers?

  Stratrisks.com has information about a coup attempt against Kim Jong Un. NK has executed people for cannibalism and their soldiers are surprizingly short and underweight. There have been rumors about Kim having his palace surrounded by armored vehicles for protection.

  They may also have high rates of mental retardation because children don't get enough protein.

  I think the 7-8x defection was from BusinessInsider. I'll try to find it.

  I think there is so much exposure to certain things that on certain levels people are incapacitated.

  I think there is a lot of clear evidence that the US Government engineered 911.

  Many people that I talk to 1 on 1 aknowledge this.

  But there is nothing they can do. So on other levels they deny it.

  One part of their brain knows their government is sinister and the other part of their brain cant except it.

  I think the powers that be are on to some mass pychological brain games.

  To me there is also abundant evidence that the economic problems that the USA faces today are the result of 8

  years of Bush's polocies. The evidence is out in the open but half of America can't see it or comprehend it.

  It's like if you are the government you could do evil things on tv on youtube on the net and half of the people will

  not believe it. And the other half cant do anything about it.

  In America the citizens can not do anything about the government. And the people in the government know that. They spent enough time in Harvard and the fancy schools figuring out how to screw the people and control the people.

  There is a shadow government in the US which is hard to put ones finger on, the politicians are the expendable puppets of the shadow government.

  It's probably the same as it ever was I am 60 years old and I remember when I was 14 years old people knew what was going on what was happening and they couldnt do anything about it.

  I guess in America as long as people have enough to eat and their I phones and cable tv they will let the government rob the country blind.

  If things ever start to get tough then the people will rise up.

  What you call exposure, I use "transparency". The ready access of information on the internet has certainly generated greater interest in transparency in government.

  I do not see a direct connection between transparency and revolution. In fact, a government that has greater transparency is more democratic.

  I love these threads. They let me know who the looney tunes people are.

  You could also say revolution forces democracy. If you put a man in a situation whereby you have broken him down totally, and he has nothing to lose or think live for. He could act out of sheer desperation when survival mode kicks in. Just lilke a rat will run away from you, but if you corner it it will lunge at you. driven by sheer fear, instinct.

  Isn't this exactly what we have seen in tunisia? The 'Arab Spring'. Man can only suffer so much until he reaches his breaking point. Then he either gives in, or fights. Isn't this our past history as humans? Thinking back to the tribes and clan times. History repeats itself. Just it is happening in other countries now.

  Revolution just as easily leads to anarchy and dictatorship.

  I certainly hope that transparency does promote democracy - but it isn't clear to me that happens.

  Can people give up and accept corruption despite exposure? Are there institutions that they can create to avoid that?

  At least, I see a turning point in the US which may have stopped the drift towards a police state. States are openly resisting gun control, the NDAA, the war on drugs and local Federal police authority. Obama is being accused of being worse than Bush in regard to secrecy and the Bill of Rights. It will take time to tear down the 'Patriot Act' mentality. Homeland Security is still buying armored vehicles and ammo.

  I do think that exposure could lead to Mid East peace by triggering political collapse in Israel. Recent genetic studies suggest that modern day Jews have little connection to the Patriarchs - and the ultra orthodox refuse to hold jobs or join the army. They are drifting towards crisis.
