Powerful Interests Behind Alliance of Youth Movements

admin — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 02:12:29 +0000

The Alliance of Youth Movements mission statement claims it is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping grassroots activists to build their capacity and make a greater impact on the world. Upon examining those involved in “Movements.org,” a dark agenda is revealed of such reprehensible intent. Movement.org’s “team” includes Co-Founder Jared Cohen, a CFR member, Director of Google Ideas, and a former State Department planning staff member under both Condoleezza Rice and Hilary Clinton. Founding Movements.org with Cohen is Jason Liebman of Howcast Media which works with mega-corporate conglomerates like Proctor & Gamble, Kodak, Staples, Ford, and government agencies such as the US State Department and the US Defense Department, to create “custom branded entertainment, innovative social media, and targeted rich-media campaigns.” He was also with Google for 4 years where he worked to partner with Time Warner, Fox News, Viacom, Warner Music, Sony Pictures, Reuters, the New York Times, and the Washington Post Company.

While the activists attending the Movements.org summit adhere to the philosophies of “left-leaning” liberalism, the very men behind the summit, funding it, and prodding the agenda of these activists are America’s mega-corporate combine. These are the very big-businesses that have violated human rights worldwide, destroyed the environment, sell shoddy, overseas manufactured goods produced by workers living in slave conditions, and pursue an agenda of greed and perpetual expansion at any cost. The hypocrisy is astounding unless of course you understand that their disreputable, self-serving agenda could only be accomplished under the guise of genuine concern for humanity, buried under mountains of feel-good rhetoric, and helped along by an army of exploited, naive youth. What we see is not a foundation from which all activists can work from, but a foundation that has a very selective group of activists working on “problem spots” the US State Department would like to see “changed.” Wherever protesters and movements are working to undermine governments non-conducive to corporate America’s agenda, you will find Movements.org supporting their efforts.

Internet Surveillance Could Get You Hired or Fired

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:16:15 +0000

State agencies ranging from the CIA to the National Security Agency have been pouring millions of dollars into data-mining firms that claim that they have a handle on who you are or what you might do in the future. These types of invasive procedures could even affect one’s ability to get hired by an employer.

Private firms helping the government have the advanced technology necessary to use data-mining techniques to observe what people are doing online, and further use that information to look for patterns of action and spending that could be linked to terrorist activity. Several companies such as PINWALE, Keyhole, Google Ventures and Recorded Future have helped make it possible for our government to watch our every move online.

The idea of pre-crime is also coming to the world of HR and employee management. A company called Social Intelligence data-mines social networks to help companies decide if they really want to hire you. Datamation reports that this company also offers a Social Intelligence Monitoring Service to watch the personal activity of existing employees on an ongoing basis. This type of monitoring has the potential to ruin the careers of many people in our future. Big brother is only a “ping” or mouse click away.Similar Posts:

Internet’s Expanding Carbon Footprint

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:35:30 +0000

The internet’s increasing appetite for electricity poses a major threat to not only companies such as google and the future of internet use, but is also having a negative impact on the environment. “In an energy constrained world, we cannot continue to grow the footprint of the internet…we need to rein in the energy consumption” (Suodh Bata, Vice President at Sun Microsystems). With more than 1.5 billion people online around the world, scientists estimate that the energy footprint of the net is growing by more than 10% each year. This leaves many internet companies in a bind: energy costs are escalating because of increasing popularity, while at the same time advertising revenues come under pressure from the recession. Thisdouble bind poses a problem for internet companies affording enough energy to meet consumer demand; and while the demand for electricity is a primary concern, a secondary issue as a result of the explosion of internet use, is the computer industry’s carbon debt, which is increasing drastically. From having a relatively small impact just a few years ago, it is now leapfrogging other sectors like the airline industry that are more widely known for their negative environmental impact. It is apparent, that the demand for internet access far exceeds the readily available amount of energy available.
