Today – we have Hollywood – The Media – Social Media – and Big Tech. But who controls the plays – that get shown? The books – that get printed? The screenplays – that get made into film? The Science and The Facts and The History – that we have access to? Who controls the algorithms – of your every search query? Who determines what you can see – and what you cannot see? Who holds that ultimate power behind the scene? Know the answer to this, my friend… and you know too, where this whole shebang is going. Benjamin Disraeli, gave us a glimpse into this 150 years ago… “Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves controlled by the hidden hand.” – Benjamin Disraeli "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." – Benjamin Disraeli An interesting article on the man… https://www.winterwatch.net/2020/08/the-hidden-world-of-benjamin-disraeli-a-made-man-and-opportunist/ [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: The work by osiriss- 3 years 36 weeks* ago* The depth of this feels with: The depth of this feels with understanding what many a modern person exists with and denies with their outward veneer; we have but to see social media posts and interactions as to the veracity of this truth.

crypticbard commented on: a poet's tears by redbrick 3 years 36 weeks* ago* Thank you. Back in the day we: Thank you.

And each time a poem about poetry arises, I feel an inner tug and a feeling of doing something that breaks the tenets of poetry itself. LOL. [ go to comment ]
