Subject: what's to come

the time has come for a change, and regardless of your involvement, the 
black fist(invisible hand) will force it down your throat. it is the 
movement to the new form of evolution, survival of the fittest defined 
by a new paradigm.

the old order of natural selection was determined by "fitness to 
reproduce", what ever male had the loudest mating call and strongest 
semen spread his genes the furthest.

in the future/present, however, an individual genetic contribution plays 
second string to thier ideas, the intellectual sperm is not as ephemeral 
as its flagellated counterpart; and this shift has redefined the 
criteria for evolution. "fitness to create".

now consider this in the pre-internet world... big brother controlled 
the media, so ideas were as good as masterbation without the backing of 
a major media outlet, for the only way to kill a thought is to prevent 
people from hearing it. The strongest ideas were held up on high to 
millions of people in thier living rooms, glued to the tv.

post-internet however, the vital life juice of creation... comunication; 
has become accesable to anyone; any backwoods wacko with a modem can 
inspire millions of people; this is the most dangerous idea imaginable. 
without a softening buffer on the flow of information big brother no 
longer has control, and chaos will, and has riegned.

so the new weapon, as the cliche goes, is information and the ability to 
disseminate it; we've seen the great unwashed masses are too stupid to 
understand long lengthy discussions and make thier own opinions they 
must be force-fed the marrow, the most incite-full little moresels of 
information, thoose bits that stir up the oldest emotions. revolt, 
fight, rebel, hope, fuck, sleep. _dream_

all of this obviously relates back to the security community as certain 
sectors have position themselves at the helm of the information machine, 
and other have taken to controlling the source of the information, this 
is the new conflict and it will not be resolved here and now, prepare 
for a long, hard struggle my friends. Where will you be?
