The NON Surpise Surprises of Today’s Existence


When Snowden revealed what he did about the widespread surveillance of American citizens by the NSA for no other reason than that THEY CAN, was anyone SURPRISED?

When Samuels and the NY Times revealed that B Obama and his Sanch Panza, Ben Rhodes had purposefully and over years mislead, lied, and generally stategized the deception of the American people over the Iran deal, WAS ANYONE SURPRISED?

And now...

GIZMODO (premier TECH SITE, btw):

Former Facebook Workers: We Routinely Suppressed Conservative News
Facebook workers routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s influential “trending” news section, according to a former journalist who worked on the project. This individual says that workers prevented stories about the right-wing CPAC gathering, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and other conservative topics from appearing in the highly-influential section, even though they were organically trending among the site’s users.
Several former Facebook “news curators,” as they were known internally, also told Gizmodo that they were instructed to artificially “inject” selected stories into the trending news module, even if they weren’t popular enough to warrant inclusion—or in some cases weren’t trending at all. The former curators, all of whom worked as contractors, also said they were directed not to include news about Facebook itself in the trending module.


Is there any surprise?

Is this not the reality of this world as you find it before  such banal confirmation?

THEOREM OF REAL LIFE ON EARTH:

By the time you think YOU are paranoid
the problem is almost always
that you are not paranoid enough
