DOCUMENTATION

- WE NEED THE FAMOUS MIRACLE MADE BY OURSELVES, TO RESCUE -
- THE WORLD FROM A PLUNGE INTO THE BLACKEST POSSIBLE DARK AGE -

Here is Helga's remarks to the European conference call on Nov.
12, 2007:

HELGA: Okay, good morning. We have indeed a situation which
requires the famous miracle, made by ourselves, to save the world
from total dark age, on the edge of which we are clearly sitting.
Now, that is both the danger of a new global asymmetric warfare,
which is already very far advanced. And obviously the meltdown
of the system, which is full process as well:
Now, starting with the situation concerning Iran, Lyn has
written a very important paper, intervening into the
Presidential, where he basically says, only the combination of
LaRouche Republicans and anti-Gore Democrats are coming together,
as it has occurred many times in the past with the Reagan
Democrats, at different moments that you have a bipartisan
coalition, that this crisis can be solved. So I urge people to
read this paper and really get it around, because that is the
only way how this present crisis can be avoided.
Now, the danger of an Iran war is still extremely high, and
Lyn pointed out that if it happens, it is not the major fault of
Cheney, who has been on the record of being for this war since
'91, so nothing is new in that, but it is the treasonous behavior
of Nancy Pelosi who has been blocking effectively his removal.
Now, in that light, it is very important that Kucinich, on
Tuesday last week, did move with this "privileged resolution " on
the floor of the Congress to have the impeachment proceedings
voted upon, which did happen. And then it was with the help of
these Republicans, who all kinds of motives of their own, but
obviously it was with the vote of the Republicans, that now the
impeachment is officially the question in the House Judiciary
Committee, headed by Congressman Conyers.
I would really urge people to take both the "privileged
resolution" of Kucinich and also the letter he wrote to Conyers,
basically saying that Cheney's behavior in respect to Iran war is
much like his deceptive efforts in the lead-up to the Iraq War,
"the Vice President appears to be manipulating intelligence to
conform to his beliefs"--that we get these two papers, the
privileged resolution and the letter to Conyers, really out
widely; because if you need another proof of the Goebbels-like
control of the media, here you have it: Because the European
media to my knowledge have not uttered one single word about
this. And anybody who's not a complete moron knows that with the
pending strikes against Iran, we are sitting on the verge of
World War III, and here you have a motion to impeach Cheney and
stop World War III, and the European media find it necessary to
not even mention it! I think this is a very, very useful way of
really rubbing it in, and that people should not give any belief
to these media, because why should you believe them if they lie
on such a very important matter.
Now, the scenario which is circulating among informed
circles in the military in the United States and others, about
the scenario which would occur if this hit should take place,
that there would be a limited--well first of all, there would be
a phone call from the President, without going to Congress, which
is what Pelosi with her treasonous behavior actually
accomplished--and one fine morning, early in the morning, this
phone call would happen, and then the Congress would wake up, and
be informed that the 8th Air Force which is a notorious unit in
the U.S. Air Force, which is assigned to the Strategic Command,
they would have already made a limited attack against the nuclear
facilities inside Iran, through long-distance bombers, and
naturally the three aircraft carriers in the region; and then
there would be a pause, waiting to see whether the Iranians would
respond with some sort of asymmetric attack. If that would
occur, then that would be taken as a pretext for a full-scale
war, that would blow up the entire Mid-East region, and very
likely the whole world.
So that is what is on the agenda, and that is the danger
which is looming. And this is what is not reported by the
European media.
So what Kucinich wrote to Conyers, basically that if these
reports are true, "they add additional weight to the case for
impeachment. I believe impeachment remains the only tool
Congress has to prevent a war in Iran."
So, I think it's really important that we get this out in a
major way.
Now, Angela Merkel, who over the weekend was visiting Bush's
ranch in Crawford, gave a press conference following two days of
talks with Bush, where she said they agreed to rely on diplomacy,
and that a third UN Security Council resolution would be the next
step with more sanctions. And she said that Germany would look
at reducing business ties with Iran, reflecting very clearly that
obviously, Merkel promised to commit economic suicide, in order
to have Bush agree to a more diplomatic language, but that
doesn't mean anything in terms of a terrorist pretext, or a Gulf
of Tonkin incident, which is still looming. And it did
definitely not help that Sarkozy, when he was in the United
States a week ago, addressing the U.S. Congress, that he really
had very bellicose language, saying that France was with the
United States, that Israel had to be protected, that Iran had to
be prevented from getting nuclear plants. And you know, people
who observed this internationally were really shocked about
Sarkozy's behavior.
Also, the Observer reports that the U.S. military is putting
tremendous pressure on interrogators in Iraq, to find
incriminating evidence for an Iranian involvement in the
upheavals and the resistance in Iraq--manufacturing and so forth.
Also, Israel and the United States have set up a joint
committee, to develop a joint strategy against the Iranian
nuclear ambitions. Deputy Prime Minister Mofaz is heading this,
and Mofaz has also for ElBaradei to be removed as the head of the
International Atomic Energy Agency, because allegedly, he would
turn a blind eye to the Iranian nuclear ambitions. So we should
watch that.
Okay: Now, the region in general of Southwest Asia, is
already a powderkeg. There is an article by Jeff in the briefing
today, going to through the whole Arc of Crisis from the Horn of
Africa to basically the situation between Turkey and Northern
Iraq. And naturally the hottest situation is Pakistan: And
people in the region are really horrified because Pakistan is
really exploding in a very dangerous way. We have an interesting
interview with General Beg in the briefing today, who says that
this whole show about Benazir Bhutto is completely orchestrated.
She is a complete tool of the American agenda, and she's just
being planted up to give her any credibility, which in reality
she doesn't have at all. But the country is exploding, it's
being destroyed. Sources in the region are concerned that this
whole thing is just a spectacle to prepare an intervention by the
U.S. Army directly. And this would have incalculable
consequences, especially because also India is being put under
tremendous pressure by the United States to agree to a
behind-the-scenes strategic deal with the United States,
obviously a tremendous effort to break India out of the strategic
partnership with Russia and China, and also making tremendous
economic warfare by hedge funds and others against India.
Now, another sign of the insanity in the region is
illustrated by Israeli Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who responded
to the announcements of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, that they want to
develop peaceful nuclear energy, by saying this would be "an
apocalyptic scenario for Israel and the rest of the world."
Which is really totally, totally crazy.
Therefore, what we are doing in the United States is really
absolutely crucial. And one of the key new developments is that
we have put out the Giuliani story, by digging out material that
the father of Giuliani, Harold Giuliani, was actually sent to
prison for armed robbery, and we have also put out lots of
evidence that Giuliani is really part of the organized crime in
the United States, which is quite unbelievable. And Lyn has
stressed that that story was so obvious and it was lying out
there so much, that the only conclusion is that Giuliani was
really set up, and real figure which the Pelosi scenario was
trying to really get into shape for the Presidency next year, is
Michael Bloomberg, who is a complete man of the Anglo-American
empire faction.
Now, also Giuliani's former bodyguard was indicted on 14
counts of tax fraud, obstruction of justice, lying to the
government and similar things. So this is all not so very nice,
and that is why our intervention really remains absolutely
crucial.
Also the fact that the Senate confirmed Mukasey as the
Attorney General on Thursday--the guy who basically claimed that
waterboarding is not torture! Waterboarding simulates downing,
and one can really say, this is the Vichy Democrats voted for the
new Torquemada. And the fact that all the Presidential
candidates did not vote doesn't really make a big
difference--Biden, Hillary, Obama, Dodd and McCain did not cast
their votes, but here you have a new Torquemada as the Attorney
General in the United States.
Now, remember that all of this is really happening in a
situation where the system already has blown out, and what we see
now unfolding is just the reverberation of a system which did
already explode and is already dead.
Now, interesting is, on the eve of the Danish election, the
president of the largest Danish bank, said something quite
similar, namely that the international financial markets "have
had a stroke." He said, in a interview with Berlingske Tidende,
that the problem is that people in the stock exchanges and bond
markets, have removed themselves from reality. The mark has
already had a stroke, and now, Danish stocks are on a violent
rollercoaster ride. So, that at least resembles a little bit,
reality.
Now, the three largest banks in the United States, Bank of
America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase, did set up this
ridiculous master liquidity enhancement conduit, a $75 billion
fund to allegedly help to stabilize the credit markets. Now,
this is a peanut compared to the problems of these banks, and it
will not affect the whole situation, other than a short-term
illusion.
The British banks are in terrible shape... this is now
becoming more and more obvious. The trading in Barclays bank
stock was halted two days ago in London, after the value had
fallen over 9% in one day, on rumors that the bank had to write
off 10 billion pounds, which $21 billion, and Barclays stock had
fallen 21% just in the month of November. JPMorgan admitted,
this was already at the end of last week, that it was holding $40
billion in unsellable junk bonds, so therefore this "master
conduit" is really not very impressive. Bank of American
admitted that they had about $10 billion collateralized debt
obligations, and they had a collapse in value of about 33% in the
last six weeks ago--I mean this is really big!
So the Hong Kong-based Bank of East Asia chairman David K.P.
Lee said that the U.S. mortgage bubble meltdown is now turning
into a full international banking crisis, and he urged the
central banks to come to the rescue. He also said that he fears
that the U.S. dollar crash is collapsing China's economy, and he
said, "My worst-case scenario, is that the Chinese bubble bursts
and a lot of people in China will lose most of their savings."
Then again, he urged that the governments and central banks must
come and make a joint effort to prevent and abrupt bust of asset
bubbles. So, as we have many times, this is not a local question
for the United States, and whoever says this will be limited to
the United States is just a moron, because this will blow out the
whole world, and it's in the process of doing so already.
So, unfortunately, the collapsing dollar, which had reached
EU1.47 at the end of last week, and now it's hovering somewhere
around EU1.4670 or so, is really start to hurt European exports
severely. Basically, in spring, already industrial exporters in
Germany, had said that if the dollar drops to EU1.40 against the
euro, this would hurt exports, and the eurozone would have major
deficits. It's almost EU1.50 and warnings are it will collapse
to EU1.60 by the end of the year, and therefore, this is really
starting to become a big problem. I mean, not only Merkel had
made that the issue when she went to Italy two weeks ago in her
discussions with Prodi, which was not reported in the German
press, but it was reported in the Italian press at the time. And
Sarkozy, when he made this speech before the U.S. Congress, did
indeed say that the policy of the weak dollar, is an of (quote)
"economic warfare against Europe." Now, you know, what that
implies, the devil alone can say.
So, we should also note that one of the big problems is part
of the inability of the population, and naturally the politicians
being part of that, to respond to the crisis in the same manner,
is the cultural degeneracy which is nowhere more visible than in
the acceptance of the virtual reality, MySpace, video games, the
whole counterculture, which has affected probably 90% of the
youth in the world, or at least most parts of the world. And the
fact that there are some people who {accept} that! Politicians
who do not move to put a stop to it, is really a sign that things
are really very far gone. Now it turns out that this Finnish
school killer was playing the video game "Battlefield 2" minutes
before he did commit this massacre. And this guy, Pekka-Eric
Auvinen, went directly from playing the point-and-shoot game
Battlefield 2, to the school where he shot and killed eight
students and the principal, and then himself.
Now the manufacturer of the game, the Swedish IT company,
DICE, a firm which specializes in violent video games, they
information spokeswoman, said, "There is no research which would
prove that there is a connection between violence and war games"!
Which is obviously totally crazy, because that has been
established by the American Association of Psychiatrists, already
in '72, and many, many other such documentations since. And now
it turns out that there was, through MySpace or some other
internet social network, some form of contact between the Finnish
guy Pekka-Eric Auvinen and another youth called Dillon Cossey in
the United States, a young guy of 14, who was arrested last month
on suspicion of planning to storm his school near Philadelphia.
And the police acted at that point on the basis of a tip, and
they found a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, hand grenades, .22 pistol,
and a .22 single-shot rifle at his home. And he had also
planned something like that in his school. And these two people,
Pekka-Eric and Dillon were in contact via the internet.
So this gives you just a foretaste that it's {completely}
insane, and we should remember what we have put out ourselves
about this whole matter: that the violent video games were the
result of the Samuel Huntington faction of the military trying to
increase the "kill ratio" among soldiers. But if these kinds of
videos are used in the army, it's already bestial enough, but at
least it's in a structured context of the army; but if
{children}, especially young children, are left with these things
on their own, it is really devastating. And there is now a new
video circulating, where bill Gates himself enters one of these
"Doom" movies--first you see the Doom movie, and then Bill Gates,
in person, himself, all of a sudden is part of the video game,
advertising his own story. It is totally disgusting. And there
is another video game, which it is simulated--not just some fiber
figures, but real people are being killed with knives, pistols,
machineguns, and you can really see how people fall together, are
being shot many times... and this is out there!! It is
unbelievable.
And the fact that people say there is no connection to
violence, and there's nothing governments can do, it just shows
you the decadence and corruption of these politicians. Because
it is absolutely not true. And just to highlight the insanity of
the whole thing, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said that
Bush was in San Antonio, Texas visiting wounded Iraq veterans in
a hospital, and that he helped to shoot the bad guys in a virtual
Baghdad neighborhood in a video game!
Now, sometimes, I really have to get some fresh air, because
this is really too much.
Okay: Now, how volatile society is, one can also see by the
fact that there was major violence erupting in both Spain and
Italy over the weekend: In Madrid there was a protest against
immigration by a right-wing organization, and then some left
groups showed up, and it came to a violent fight in a subway
station. One man died, and seven were injured, and the police
had a hard time getting the whole thing under control. And in
Italy, a fan of a Rome soccer club was killed and minutes after
that you had hooligans trying to take over, and the there were
protests all over Italy.
In Georgia, where last week, reports of mass protests
against Saakashvili, emergency law was declared, and then the
U.S. State Dept. sent Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew
Bryza to have crisis talks. The chief of the Labor Party, named
Shalva Natelashvili, went to the United States for exile, so we
have to keep an eye on this, because Georgia as you know is one
of the areas targetted for NATO expansion, and is very close to
Russia and therefore it remains a very hotspot.
Now, on the positive side, I should mention that our fight
for Homeowners and Bank Protection Act in the United States is
moving forward very nicely. The fourth city, New Castle,
Pennsylvania, did issue the call for the LaRouche Homeowners and
Bank Protection Act and there is more organizing going on in many
different states and cities.
Also on the side of sanity, President Kirchner of Argentina
said Latin America needs a model with strong industrial roots,
not the "invisible hand," and he said that Argentina needs a
strong industrial policy.
And also on the side of sanity, and also in stark contrast
to what's going on in Europe, China is making progress on its
space mission to Mars, and they announced that they will launch a
Mars mission together with the Russian Phobus-Grunt soil mission
in 2009, that China will add a satellite which orbit the Red
Planet for a year, and Russia will send a lander to the Mars moon
Phobus, and that is all supposed to arrive at Mars in the Spring
of 2010 after an eight-month journey. So, maybe there is hope
and we can turn Europe and the United States around so that
mankind can start to discuss the issues that are really worth
discussing.
So that is the picture we have, and I think if you think
about all of this, it makes really clear, why our intervention is
absolutely crucial, that without our conception, the New Bretton
Woods going to back to the FDR New Deal policy, not only for the
United States, but for Europe, for Russia, for Eurasia, the whole
Eurasian Land-Bridge conception, there is no way how this world
will come to a peaceful situation ever.
Now, we had in Frankfurt on Saturday, a very beautiful
Schillerfest with a very, very lofty poetry and music, and
everybody there I think enjoyed it fully. So we should take
that, at least those who participated this Schillerfest, and
remind ourselves what Schiller said in the introduction to {Bride
of Messina}: That this force which was evoked, remains for the
whole week and beyond, and should really give us energy and an
inspiration of the beautiful world we absolutely could build.
And we should go for an absolute breakout in terms of
subscriptions and memberships this week. Because, only if we
build our organization, to become a strong counterpole to what is
going on right now, is there any hope for Europe. So I think we
are in an absolutely clear position what we have to do, go for a
breakout, go for a shakeup of the institutions in Europe, and
lets get out our message, because it's the only one which is
really talking of sanity in this world.
Okay: So with that, have fun for the whole week!


"What Is At Stake With Virtual Communities And Video Games: A
Mental Concentration Camp without Tears"

By Jacques Cheminade, November 10, 2007

PART I
If you were told that the worst pollution of our society is
mental pollution, and that the social networking websites, video
games and mass sports and the totality of the "cyber
entertainment industry" functions as a stupefying machinery aimed
at uprooting any resistance to a new fascism and to create the
conditions of voluntary servitude, many of you would shriek: "He
is exaggerating! But yes, admittedly, there exists a problem of
intoxication by the image, but young people have their fashions.
Is this one worse than any other before? At least, through
MySpace, Facebook, Debo, Asmallworld, Friendstar or Netvibes,
they talk to each other, they communicate among each other, they
meet, and they socialize. That's better than solitude. And video
violence, isn't that a 'catharsis' [purification]? Isn't that the
occasion to eliminate certain character traits deeply embedded in
the subconscious and expressed in a virtual form without
consequences...? Isn't that a world, in which we are freed of the
constraints of social injustices, a space or domain in which we
can say what we really feel?"
This type of thinking localizing the subject inside a closed
universe--the universe of games or "communities"--as if the
present society, the disintegration of the financial and monetary
system, the wild speculation on food products and raw materials
that goes along with it, the practice of torture becoming banal
in the United States, the incapacity of the current economy to
guarantee a future to the youth and the generations yet unborn,
did not exist.
It comes down to denying reality itself and turning blind on
the consequences of self-destructive behavior.
That this behavior springs from violent video games becomes
evident from the massacres of Columbine (Littleton, Colorado),
Erfurt, Germany, and Virginia Tech (Virginia) and now the high
school in Jokela, Finland. In the last case, which took place as
I write these very lines, we saw the killing of six pupils, a
nurse and the school principal by an 18 year old boy who killed
himself at the end after wounding many more. A reader of
Nietzsche, he left a quite revealing message indicating the
mindset of those addicted to extreme gaming--he himself was into
Counterstrike and had been playing Battlefield only two hours
before acting out the massacre.
Listen to his words: "I am prepared to fight and die for my
cause. I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all those whom I
see unfit, disgraces to human race and failures of natural
selection.
"This is my war: one-man war against humanity, governments
and weak-minded masses of the world! No mercy for the scum of the
Earth! HUMANITY IS OVERRATED! It's time to put NATURAL SELECTION
& SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST back on track!"
http://oddculture.com/2007/11/07/the-pekka-eric-auvinen-manifesto
Worst of all, a support group for the killer, the
"sympathizers of the shooter of Jokela High School," was created
on Facebook, having already over forty "friends" who agree with
him that "We are a cancer on the planet which size must be
reduced" and therefore "sympathizes with Pekka-Eric Auvinen
because his beliefs and actions are honest and constitute a sane
reaction to the horrors of modern society." In this way, the
acting out of a suicidal act resulting from violent video gaming
became promoted on a "social networking website." The
demonstration speaks for itself.
Are we far away from France? No, because Romain Dupuy, who
shot two nurses and shopped of the head of one of them putting it
on the TV-set of the psychiatric pavilion where she worked,
declared before the Pau tribunal: "I spent all day playing war
games on the playstation and smoking joints... I thought I was
Predator; I was only playing on the playstation; I was cut of the
world."
So far so good for "social networking" and "catharsis"!
However, certain people will argue "you're talking about extreme
cases. Your argument is in bad faith. You're going too far."
To start with, let me ask you to spend some time--as short
as possible--playing the most violent video games, the "shmup"
[shoot them up], which were re-baptized in elegant French as
"classical shooting games." Take Counterstrike or the latest of
the series, Halo 3, whose "initial sales have encountered an
unprecedented success": in the United States, only 24 hours after
the product reached the market, Microsoft could announce a gain
of $170 million. In the game, the player is "master chief," an
all-powerful soldier in charge of eliminating as many as
immigrant aliens as possible (In France, Mr. Le Pen would say
"non-natives," while Minister Hortefeux would find a more elegant
nomenclature), with an unbelievable quantity of weapons and
supersonic vehicles. The marketing director of Micromania,
specialized on this product, comments: "There are conspiracies,
genetic manipulations, the good ones on one side and the bad guys
on the other, it is pure Hollywood. High definition images,
realism and attention for detail, you really get the impression
to be there." These violent games proliferate: there are those
were you can be the terrorist on the run, or the car driver who
kills systematically the bystanders and increases his score with
each killing.
The morbid imagination of those designing these games is
limitless. Clive Thompson, in Wired magazine, describes the frame
of mind of the player: "I used to find it hard to fully imagine
the mind-set of a terrorist. That is, until I played Halo 3
online...Whenever I find myself under attack by a wildly superior
player, I stop trying to duck and avoid their fire. Instead, I
turn around and run straight at them. I know that by doing so,
I'm only making it easier for them to shoot me -- and thus I'm
marching straight into the jaws of death. Indeed, I can usually
see my health meter rapidly shrinking to zero. But at the last
second, before I die, I'll whip out a sticky plasma grenade --
and throw it at them. Because I've run up so close, I almost
always hit my opponent successfully. I'll die -- but he'll die
too, a few seconds later when the grenade goes off. (When you
pull off the trick, the game pops up a little dialogue box noting
that you killed someone 'from beyond the grave.') ... It's not
just that I'm willing to sacrifice my life to kill someone else.
It's that I'm exploiting the psychology of asymmetrical warfare
[sic]."
Some smart guys, TV evangelicals or other preachers, go even
add some religion into the game. The hope to get hold on the
"lost souls" by means of Halo (cf. New York Times, as reported in
Le Monde on Oct. 13, "Violent Games Attract Young People Towards
a Message of Love" by Matt Richtel).
There are also adventure games by which you enter a virtual
universe, offering you "a world" in which you will be immersed
for several weeks or months -- a real "trip," which, to be really
experienced, brings the travelers to invite hashish as a
companion. Still other games, "little sweeties online,"
Liberation calls them, aim at provoking "an addiction": Splash
Back, Desktop Tower Defense, or Endless Zombie Rampage, whose aim
is to "cover the floor with dead living brains." In one case, one
of the most violent games -- the game is a simulation of a
physical suicide. In yet another one, the one of a "trip," the
aim is slow detachment of reality -- a mental suicide. In each
case, the player isolates himself in a self-destructive rage,
convinced he's more than ever becoming himself as he takes leave
from reality.
As several American officials have indicated, notably Lt.
Col. David Grossman (USA-ret.), in charge of training Special
Forces such as the Green Berets for the U.S. Army and FBI law
enforcement personnel (well informed on the matter), these video
games, in particular the extremely violent ones, are by-products
of military and paramilitary training programs (cf. Grossman's
interview in Executive Intelligence Review of May 24, 1999). "We
make killing a conditioned reflex, stimulus/response,
stimulus/response. At the moment of truth, the proper stimulus
pops up in front of them, and they kill without conscious
thought."
In a controlled military training program, limits are
imposed (or should be imposed) on shooting for killings. But in
video games, there is no human presence and no limit exists. The
environment of violence and images of the sub-culture abolishes
the difference between virtual reality and real reality, and
facilitates the passage of going into action. Hence, the
14-year-old killer in Paducah, Kentucky, who fired eight shots
succeeded in hitting eight youth with a 22 caliber gun (5 hits to
the head, 3 to the torso), three of them killed, displayed
shooting skill akin or even better than most "professionals." The
new factor, says Grossman, is not the fact that arms are readily
available, but the existence of video games and killing
simulators with human shape targets.
Along with the mass killings in high schools goes the mass
killing done by mercenary companies such as Blackwater or
"uninhibited" soldiers, who, in Iraq, shoot without hesitation on
civilians perceived as a threat. These mercenaries and soldiers
are also the fruit of the same video games as those used by young
children. The cause for the killing is the same, it is political
and derived from a conception where man is considered comparable
to a dangerous animal, which when needed has to be eliminated to
"make the environment more healthy."
In history this has a name, and history today, in the
current financial disintegration and social disintegration, will
repeat itself if we don't intervene to change its course.
Oh yes! But, wait a minute, social networking of the likes
of MySpace or Facebook, are different. There, one finds free
"online cyber tools," capable of establishing those registered to
create their 'profile' and to establish 'links' with other others
on the web (by email, by sharing pictures, by joining groups
established according to tastes or beliefs).
"Communities" are set up around common centers of interest;
MySpace and Facebook harbor the main communities. MySpace
supposedly federates 200 millions people per month! It is as
such, an unprecedented "global" social phenomenon: financial
globalization goes with "social globalization."
Note here that those running the violent video games
business, are the same as those promoting "social networking."
Hence, Microsoft bought a 1.6% share of Facebook, which was
created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerber, a Harvard student. The money
paid for the sale, $240 million, brought Facebook's value to rise
to... $15 billion!
MySpace is currently controlled by billionaire Rupert
Murdoch, who financed Tony Blair and supports former New York
Mayor and mafiosi Rudy Giuliani for the Republican Party
Presidential nomination, who integrated violent video games to
train the New York police and called for immediate bombing of
Iran. MySpace made an alliance with Google, the largest search
engine on the web and Oracle and Salesforce.inc, two database
management system editors and challengers of Microsoft. Hence an
empire with two internet heads has been created aiming at putting
all the images into the same circuit. This way, if 25 years ago
people were watching TV 16 hours a week, today they are watching
