What you're really trying to say John .. is that the internet stands between you and your bullshit .. too many people are becoming informed and the MIC game is coming out into the daylight ..
"CIA Director Brennan: 'Social Media And The Internet Have Greatly Amplified The Terror Threat'"
I don't believe so. If people were relatively happy and well off, they could be bombarded all day with message from cranks and kooks. they would simply set up a spam folder.
If people are susceptible to these message it is not because the message is getting out there a little faster. It is because of corruption.

Ironically, it has had some of its best days under President Barack Obama who has radically expanded drone attacks and claimed that he alone determines what a war is for the purposes of consulting Congress.
