By Pete Santilli, Radio Talk Show Host of The Pete Santilli Show
Over the past several years I’ve noticed a very disturbing trend as a “power” Facebook user. As my content became more politically charged, the more people I attracted to my pages and profile — yet my posts were being “throttled” or held back from reaching the people who were connecting with me. This is not a conspiracy theory; as I’ve documented many instances when the number of clicks and shares I was receiving was actually going backwards as time passed. There’s absolutely no doubt that my content was being targeted for suppression, and I’ve caught Facebook in the act on more than one occasion.
Now, if people own a website, or in my case, we at GMN bring news and media to the public professionally and full time. Essentially, it’s a business enterprise, although it’s a non-profitable business due to the intentional absence of corporate sponsors. Susannah Cole and myself have literally invested our entire life savings, and have volunteered our time and services for over 867 episodes. If we were to calculate a value of GMN, it would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past three years. We’re not complaining, we’re simply trying to set the stage for this message. We’ve spend thousands of dollars building our listenership and readership, and we’ve utilized free platforms like Twitter and Facebook (by the way; both publicly held companies) to connect the individuals within the community we’ve built and paid for. The trade-off we’ve always known about is that Twitter and Facebook have always retained the right to advertise to their users, and that’s okay with us, especially if we’re all using the service for “free” — we seek freedom, of course.
Let’s all ask ourselves the following questions based on a couple simple assumptions. When we signed up for Facebook, we clicked the “Terms of Service – User Agreement” because we had absolutely no other alternative. You either click the AGREE button and enter, or you are excluded from communicating with the rest of the world. Not only does Facebook retain an almost monopolistic control over the flow of information between individuals, they present what they call a “CONTRACT” with their users which should be considered under duress or by force. A contract is when two parties voluntarily enter into an agreement — except, in the case of Facebook, the terms are horrifyingly one-sided. You either agree to them, or you cannot exist online.
1) If you knew that the information coming to you was controlled, censored, limited and biased by Facebook’s automated system, would you agree to receive only information they thought you should only receive?
2) If you were aware that the people assigned to the task of setting standards or controls of the type of information you received were either very liberally or conservatively biased, would you be happy with that?
3) When you clicked “AGREE” and entered Facebook, you were literally surrounded by fake accounts designed to interact with you. Artificial intelligence bots have been toying with your mind to see how you respond to certain stimulus. The more you interact, the smarter the system became. Did you really agree to this covert experiment?
4) If you are a business, did you know that Facebook has literally stolen money from you by using “click farms” to fabricate new Likes and ad activity? Click farms are teams of people around the world who get paid to sit at their computers and click ads and pages. Facebook collects 50 cents from a business, and they pay the click farm worker 10 cents. Their so-called “profit” they’ve made from your business is 40 cents, but don’t forget, you paid Facebook money to connect with real people — they stole 100% of what you paid them to do.
5) When you find a page you Like and see it as a place to hang around with like-minded individuals, would you be upset if someone told you that Facebook uses a technique of corralling people around topics they do not agree with for the purposes of creating argument, confusion and disseminating disinformation? The “system” allows paid trolls to come into your coalition and cause argument and confusion, as well as create an environment that nobody wants to hang around in. People naturally gather together with a common purpose or interest, and they are literally blown apart unnaturally by paid, covert operatives. When you clicked AGREE, did you ever see this technique clearly written in Facebook’s User Agreement?
Back to the contract with Facebook. I’ve heard people tell me, “….well, you voluntarily accepted the terms…you had a choice not to….”. I now laugh at that logic by reminding them that the so called terms were written for legal scholars, and I admit that I am exactly like 99% of all Facebook users: unqualified to understand what I have just agreed to, but rational and sane enough to acknowledge what I would NEVER agree to if it was put to me in a language I could understand. Facebook’s contract, simply put, is predatory. They exploit the fact that none of their users are capable of understanding the complex legal implications of what we are agreeing to, and since we’re using the service for free, we’ll never be able to afford to fight them with an attorney who knows the difference.
Facebook has been exposed publicly for perpetrating mind control experiments, covert surveillance, violating our Constitutionally protected rights, but despite these public revelations, users ignore the facts as long as they believe they can continue to operate freely with their friends and family members. Unless they have specific, verifiable proof that they have been personally impacted, they refuse to rise up against FaceBook’s evil intrusions and policies. Americans have become mentally ill through their dependence on social media, and it’s almost impossible to cure them — proof positive that the mind control experiment has been very effective in controlling not only the thoughts of our population, but it has been most effective in controlling our actions. If they (the powers that be) want us all to get in the streets in the hundreds of thousands to protest on behalf of George Soros or Al Gore’s climate change agenda, Facebook opens the flood gates of information. But, if a group of Constitutionalists associated with Bundy Ranch want to visit the front steps of the White House, Facebook secretly holds back shares, likes and comments — what each of them see on their personal screen never reaches very many other people. Facebook “throttles” the flow of information which is threatening to the establishment.
No matter who you are, let’s face it, you really don’t believe that you are personally impacted by anything that Facebook is doing, right? You’re only on Facebook to stay connected with family & friends, and why bother to worry about political censorship — you don’t even like politics, right? Mind control is only a conspiracy theory, and no matter what anyone says, your face in front of that computer screen will never allow your brain to be controlled or swayed in any manner, right? No matter what anyone says, you are in absolute control over your thoughts and opinions — the things Facebook is doing only impacts the weak minded, right?
Think again, except, read the following as you think through this. If after reading these facts and statistics you decide that there’s no reason for you to leave Facebook, then it’s obvious you should be declared clinically insane.
Okay, you ask, “I will delete my Facebook account, but what else is there?” Before I answer that question, I want to share a personal story with you, and of course express my opinion about why I have made the decision to go dark on Facebook effective January 1, 2014. Firstly, knowing what I know about the above stated facts and statistics, I would be absolutely INSANE to keep my Facebook account. GMN is connected to almost 750,000 people, and I consider that an extreme liability for each of us — we need to disconnect right away. We are not lab rats.
For the past several years I have gotten to know the people who have built BeforeItsNews.com, Unseen.is, and Seen.is. [Note: Unseen.is is free to join, but if you signup for Premium account features for a discount, use coupon code GMN ] One glaring example of why I trust that they are on the “good side”, is because of the sheer number of attacks they receive by trolls and hackers on their website. Their traffic is throttled if not denied (DDOS attacks), and my most controversial articles have always been attacked by obvious government paid trolls (who are called O-Bots). The CEO of BeforeItsNews.com, Unseen.com and Seen.is is Chris Kitze. Chris is the person who advised me to take our servers to Iceland, and he also educated me about the legal system and culture in Iceland being much more favorable to human rights and privacy. Ask yourself, why would someone like Chris Kitze advise Pete Santilli on how to avoid the enormous volume of attacks we were once receiving if he was partially funded by the CIA? Every step of the way, Chris and his team have paved the way for GMN to publish news articles and radio content with out ever once censoring or controlling us. We have received nothing but encouragement every step along the way as we’ve evolved as the the information powerhouse we are today throughout the world. Chris Kitze and his team helped make that happen.
Recently they introduced us to what they designed as an alternative to Facebook, and they made it very obvious to me that they were filling a need for humans to continue to communicate and connect without the hidden, or subliminal agenda. Seen.is was launched, and after a few weeks of trial, we decided it was a great place for us to call our social media home, especially because they are based in Iceland.
Listen to the full interview with Chris Kitze on December 9th, 2014 on The Pete Santilli Show (begins at the 1hour 31 min mark)
Now, take the leap of faith. Join us for a grand celebration on New Years Eve December 31st 2014 to cut the cord on Facebook forever. We’re moving to Seen.is for the many reasons I described above, and I hope you join us there if you wish to stay connected to us. Regardless of whether or not everyone we’re connected to joins us on Seen.is, that is not going to stop us. We would rather live freely on Seen.is than to subject ourselves to the things we’ve outlined in this article. We’d rather speak freely to 5 people than to be enslaved among 500,000 —- To do otherwise would be insane, don’t you agree?

DO YOU BELIEVE ME NOW ROBOTS? You, homosapian(‘mol) choose to either walk the left hand or the rigt had path because all you “huMANs” know is either left or right,you can not comprehand anything more BECAUSE YOU CHOSE TO NOT SEE ANY MORE! we do not LIVE in 2-d,3-d, we are NOT HERE! You have ben programmed since barth to not see the true LIFE have you? the ansewer is no friend(man). the left rib of adam was not of bone but of MAN! There could not be the woMAN now would we? Homosapian you are not roboits! You can refuse your pro-gram-ing which the robot can and will NOT! Our masters are not our own nor are they their own! BUT WILL YOU LISTEN???
Another Great Sermon, thank you Brother.
So how do you explain that men and women have the same number of ribs?
Why wouldn’t they ? smh
Up and down broke limitations…ooops
I’m afraid I’ve been meeting way too many One True Prophets this week, but this– ” There could not be the woMAN now would we?”– you’re gonna have to explain. I try to translate your pidgin but this just won’t let me pin it down. I think you’re trying to sneak something nasty, about women, maybe?,past everybody, pretending to be functionally illiterate as a long game. Of course, I could be wrong. It’s possible you’re not pretending. You One True Prophets should really invest in some language tutors at your next meeting– maybe switch to Klingon or something.
Very pleased to meet you, luckytroll. Thought you’d like a change of pace.
Asking these zealots to learn another language is a pretty tall order. Most only have one book in their library. Unfortunately, they can’t read that properly, either.
The US military has a strict policy on using social media but let this marine say he wanted to kill people and did nothing about it!
This was after they knew he raped someone!

Excuse me, but all “social media”, such as this website, are part of the same “system”.

Hypocrite.
You obviously didn’t even bother to read the article —- WE ARE LEAVING ON NEW YEARS EVE. If reading is too much for you, maybe you shouldn’t be here
I deleted my FB yesterday & they inform you that it takes up to 2 weeks for all your stuff to be deleted & that if you log back in during those 2 weeks, your account will be restored.
I don’t know you, so you won’t be missed.
/wave bye
This goes beyond hypocrisy. Remember back when the Egyption Spring Revolution riots took place in Egypt? The Internet was used to cause a “…Massive-Scale Emotional Contagion Through Social Networks” that resulted in that event! This can be done anytime, anywhere, on a small scale, or in a whole region! The 750,000 subscribers to GMN could just as easily be manipulated and controlled with this technology on any “social network”.
Is it possible the 750,000 members of the GMN network are being emotionally manipulated as well?
Nothing wrong with being a conspiracy theorist. The term was invented by our governnment to disparage anyone who did not believe the “official story” of the Kennedy assasination.
Party’s over. AI is in control. IT’s much more intelligent than you realize!
Artificial Intelligence will be come my Deity, not Face Book.
Now that’s insane!
So, you think that if you don’t use facebook that you are somehow off the radar of the CIA & NSA, huh? Sure, sure, pay no attention to the fact that every cell phone is hacked with GPS, that every phone call is recorded and actively monitored by the NSA, that even your appliances using “Energy Star” technology are able to be accessed remotely…. I’ll tell you who is insane & disillusioned, the author of this article & anyone stupid enough to agree with it, that’s who. Moron’s.
Exactly!
Part I agree. That little play in Utah that houses the echelon system is what you are talking about. Yes every thing that is sent electronically is recorded and stored at the USA gobberment data storage house. You freaking morons that do face book. Well that would be the same as placing your head between your knees and pissing your self. Think about that for a while!
This war beyond intelligence of cia – nsa and badly spelling robots for that matter, human matrix – brain has same amount of neurones as stars in the universe,times that by 7billion, thats a lot of conscious/sub-conscious processor power if you know how to use that type of power….
Life created with ability to make mistakes or correct errors, one mistake in computer programme and the whole illusion crashes down, life can pick itself up after calamitous mistakes, but can computer generated robotic fuckery do same….

What about the name thing? Facebook locked me out of my page, with a notice that my name didn’t sound “real” enough. Fine, my name’s a tiny bit odd and I thought I’d have another little funny-name story to tell after I check off some box. Nope. They require my birth certificate in order consider my “request” to re-open my page. Of course, my first reaction was to go on facebook to see if anybody else was experiencing this, but, duh, I had no facebook. It was a very strange feeling. Anyway finally I found some information, but they were articles of facebook apologizing and saying they had stopped, and flat-out lying about what kinds of information they require to vet user’s real names. As if. There are so many obviously fake names, and mine was only mildly odd. Although it is a Sanskrit word, so maybe it sounds middle eastern or something. I find it interesting that even when people hear about this and they think it’s insane, they continue to use their pages regardless.
Anyway, I just wondered what you think the purpose for such as this would be from what claims to be simply a social network site.
As above
computer exists in the now has no comprehension of pre genesis or post genesis existence…
Really an outstanding expose article on the dysfunctional nature of Facebook.. I’d tried to use Facebook and noticed, right off, that there was significant dysfunction afoot…-so much so that I basically ceased use of it. Back in early 2012, I had got the idea to join Facebook and try to use its social melieu platform to help enlighten people about the Ron Paul for President candidacy, etc… Subsequently, I thought it was a bit odd that I received absolutely no inputs, no feedback, no comments, and so on.. I’m an extremely perceptive/intuitive personality “type” (a Myers-Briggs INFP). And I’m so used to suspecting and recognizing the usual “fly in the ointment”..that I simply deleted the stuff, ceased my own “experiment” with Facebook, and moved on to other efforts of personal futility.
Unfortunately, NEARLY the whole of the internet has become a psy-op agency, and monitoring device. Needless to say, Seen.is is great news for a change.
I wouldn’t touch Facebook OR Twitter with a 10 meter pole.
It’s free to use, and you get what you pay for: massive harvesting of your personal data, and censorship.
Why do you think Zuckerberg made BILLIONS off that? He’s working for the government and getting rich by taking YOUR data and selling it to THEM. No wonder he has that snotty smirk on his face all the time.
I use NoScript and I can see that almost every page on the web tries to install a CIAbook script on my machine. Well guess what, it’s MY computer, got it?
I host my own webpage on my own super-fast Apache server in Texas, and I host my own videos there as well and it’s not that expensive. I won’t stand for any of YouTube’s shenanigans either.
(One more point, per my original comment)..Society is becoming more and more isolated. The solitary lifestyle is predominating over the synergistically powerful family/group lifestyle. More singles. More single parents, etc. This phenomenon will cause people to use and rely on cyber methods to help maintain their solitary emotional grip. So social media will grow in importance into the future, as a sort of “divide-and-conquer” tactic continues to isolate people. Again, I glad there’s Seen.is now, as an alternative.
Well spoken, Brother.
Yeah, but like I said in my response to Lisa Haven’s article a few days back: before CIAbook came along, we were all using e-mail, Skype, and hosting our own webpages and there’s no reason not to continue using these technologies and instead centralising all these functions under CIAbook. I don’t trust anything like that and I wouldn’t trust cloud computing either. What 5 years ago were huge harddrives are nowadays not that expensive, and if you do need to use cloud computing or DropBox or whatever, then maybe you have too much data and need to weed it out a bit.
Before the internet came along I was hanging out at the library almost every day and reading books, newspapers, and magazines. I still have my TVs and fax machine just in case. Nowadays I do the exact same thing only I do it online. I still do have my 40,000+ books in case the internet ever goes down. That’s a little over 1 40-foot shipping container and YES, I did move all those books from New York to Europe because I’m insane.
As for society becoming more of a collection of individuals rather than a cohesive whole: that’s a good thing! If anything, I think people have become even more social than before it.
Screw FB!I’m going outside!
It went from a social site, to a social experiment, to social CONTROL!
Don’t all things end up like that with the government?
