Facebook CEO Admits To Calling Users 'Dumb Fucks'Mark Zuckerberg admits in a New Yorker profile that he mocked early Facebook users for trusting him with their personal information. A youthful indiscretion, the Facebook founder says he's much more mature now, at the ripe age of 26.
"They trust me — dumb fucks," says Zuckerberg in one of the instant messages, first published by former Valleywag Nicholas Carlson at Silicon Alley Insider, and now confirmed by Zuckerberg himself in Jose Antonio Vargas's New Yorker piece. Zuckerberg now tells Vargas, "I think I've grown and learned a lot" since those instant messages.
And yet the old quote resounds precisely because Facebook continues to stir up privacy controversies at regular intervals. Zuckerberg justifies his privacy rollbacks by saying the social norms have changed in favor of transparency, but, as tech executive Anil Dash tells the New Yorker, that sort of change is much more appealing for a privileged, Ivy Leaguer golden boy of Silicon Valley like Zuckerberg than for his half a billion users, many of whom work for less tolerant bosses and socialize in more judgmental circles.
The dichotomy between Zuckerberg's philosophy and the lives of his users makes revelations about the Facebook CEO's own private life all the more interesting. It seems natural to figure that this forceful advocate for transparency is ready to test his own informational boundaries a bit.
And Zuckerberg does open up a little to the New Yorker, admitting that he's red-green colorblind, and explaining the Mandarin lessons he's been taking: They're for a scheduled vacation with girlfriend to Priscilla Chan to China. And Chan, it turns out, is finally moving in with Zuck.
Then there's Zuckerberg's defacto unfriending of Aaron Sorkin, the screenwriter behind Zuckerberg's least favorite Facebook movie The Social Network. The CEO had listed Sorkin's TV show The West Wing as a "favorite" on his Facebook profile, only to remove it under questioning from Vargas. Now Zuckerberg's re-favorited the West Wing. Curious. Apparently living under the new social norms can lead to old school regret. Even if you're Mark Zuckerberg.

There is a point made early in the video that is, imo, critical to the success of our movement; it was during the segment on West Point...
They spoke of the predictive power of networks – intensive interest in changing old ways of thinking (because at Westpoint, they were still using the old paradigm for battle... now they see a "New kind of war" - it's ‘ urban’ now, and they're teaching students to use the 'power of network science' at all military academies.
They go on to show how this works ...
THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED VIEWING for ALL OF USUsing the concept of 6 Degrees of Separation, they had one teacher at the chalkboard, with a diagram of nodes connected by lines. The message to the students was 'how to pick out people; how are they linked; how can we disrupt them'. The question asked to the class was "which node needs to be removed to disrupt the network" -- the correct answer; the central node. (Translate: The Leader). Because that node had the most connections. The whole notion of 'leaderless resistance' is to REMOVE their power to take us down by hitting the central 'node' in our network.
They tell us that the first time they used this approach (ok, that's bullshit, but continuing..) was when they used it to capture Saddam Hussein. The describe having used the 'social network structure' around Saddam to identify family, and supporters in his life (Think FACEBOOK, and MYSPACE here folks...).
That enabled them to 'watch' his nodes; listen to communications and based on that information they were able to pinpoint his location. They go on to state that "understanding and applying network science will revolutionize battlefield tactics...
"We’ll be able to predict behavior unlike anytime before"This is EXACTLY what A_I has been telling us about - they are using our own 'fun and games' internet software tools (like the above social networking sites), as well as the nifty new spyware-dressed-up as artistic fun and games... (see "Photosketch":
http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php ... #msg835287)
to build their Total Information Awareness database.

[size=150]That's the fascists' wet dream you're looking at above. This is their mission.
They will be able to do that thanks to the COMPLETE surveillance of our phones, internet communications, surveillance cameras, banking transactions, and personal connections to each other.
The only way for us to succeed is Leaderless Resistance; we must not depend on any one person to fight this war. We must all carry with us the ideals we share. No doubt there will be those in the movement who fall for the infighting psyops that will be initiated by those who seek to keep us enslaved. That's par for the course, and we see plenty of examples right here in the forum.
This quote by Bill Cooper:
“What is our common bond truly? FREEDOM.”
The closing lines of that video were the most inspiring to me...
they teach us how to approach this movement as things continue to ramp up,
the fascist tactics get more violent, and we the people are being driven
into their prisons for speaking out about the truth of what's happening.
I maintain that the only true salvation from any oppression or enslavement
is self-empowerment, knowledge, consciousness. This is true rebellion.
Don’t get caught up in the 87% of people who follow the leader.
People who think that they are rebels because they denounce authorities,
simply because it’s the latest fashion.
Don’t march the streets claiming that you are the enlightened one
because you read a book or saw a film that gave you a glimpse
into an uncommon knowledge.
Don’t scream phrases into a megaphone that you borrowed from another person’s research.
And don’t proclaim yourself an original thinker because you belong to a group
that represents an unpopular belief. Those are all examples of the other side of the coin
of group think; leading a false rebellion.
False rebellion is dangerous because it gives the illusion that you are free and thinking for yourself.
A true rebellion, a true revolution, begins when you quit following
and start leading. And those who end up following you,
should be taught by you, to quit following you and start leading.

Report: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Doesn’t Believe In Privacy
By Eliot Van Buskirk April 28, 2010 | 1:47 pm | Categories: People, Social Media
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/04/ ... eedfetcherFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appears to have been outed as not caring one whit about your privacy — a jarring admission, considering how much of our personal data Facebook owns, not to mention its plans to become the web’s central repository for our preferences and predilections.
Also interesting is how this came about: Not in a proper article, but in a tweet by Nick Bilton, lead technology blogger for the The New York Times‘ Bits Blog, based on a conversation he says was “off the record” and which he may have confused with “not for attribution.”
“Off record chat w/ Facebook employee,” begins Bilton’s fateful tweet. “Me: How does Zuck feel about privacy? Response: [laughter] He doesn’t believe in it.”
Ouch.
Zuckerberg’s apparent disregard for your privacy is probably not reason enough to delete your Facebook account. But we wouldn’t recommend posting anything there that you wouldn’t want marketers, legal authorities, governments (or your mother) to see, especially as Facebook continues to push more and more of users’ information public and even into the hands of other companies, leaving the onus on users to figure out its Rubik’s Cube-esque privacy controls.
Facebook has been on a relentless request over the past six months to become the center of identity and connections online. The site unilaterally decided last December that much of a user’s profile information, including the names of all their friends and the things they were “fans” of, would be public information — no exceptions or opt-outs allowed.
Zuckerberg defended the change — largely intended to keep up with the publicness of Twitter, saying that people’s notions of privacy were changing. He took no responsibility for being the one to drag many Facebook users into the net’s public sphere.
Then last week at its f8 conference, Facebook announced it was sending user profile information in bulk to companies like Yelp, Pandora and Microsoft. Thus, when users show up at those sites while logged in to Facebook, they see personalized versions of the those services (unless the user opts out of each site, somewhere deep in the bowels of Facebook’s privacy control center). On Tuesday, four Senators asked the company to only push data to third-parties if users agree to it, a so-called “opt-in” that social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google Buzz eschew since it radically cuts down on participation and thus revenues.
Facebook is also pushing a “Like” button, which lets sites put little Facebook buttons on anything from blog entries to T-shirts in web stores.
Clicking that button sends that information to Facebook, which publishes it as part of what it calls the Open Graph, linking your identity to things you choose online. That information, in turn, is shared with whatever sites Facebook chooses to share it with — and to the sites you’ve allowed to access your profile.
It’s an ambitious attempt to rewrite the web as a socially linked network. But many see Facebook’s move as trying to colonize the rest of the web, and keep all this valuable information in its data silos, in order to become a force on the web that rivals Google.
So it’s no laughing matter that the head of Facebook appears not to care about privacy. (We asked Facebook to clarify Zuckerberg’s privacy stance but have yet to hear back.)
For his part, Bilton fired off a number of salvos defending his understanding of the the ground rules which governed the conversation he had. “‘Off record’ means there is no attribution to who it is but conversation can be used in story. ‘On background’ means I can not repeat it,” wrote Bilton. He took over the Times‘ technology blog in the last few months, after a long stint working with its technology-development team.
Unfortunately, he’s wrong about the definitions.
“‘Off the record’ restricts the reporter from using the information the source is about to deliver,” reads NYU’s Journalism Handbook, in one definition of the phrase. “If the reporter can confirm the information with another source who doesn’t insist on speaking off the record (whether that means he agreed to talking on the record, on background, or not for attribution), he can publish it.” “On background” usually means that information can be used, but can’t be attributed to a specific person.
Bilton later responded to our request for clarification, saying, “My source said it was OK to quote them, just not say who they are.” So apparently, this Facebook employee wanted this information to get out, for whatever reason.
Now, the die has been cast: The world knows that a Facebook employee thinks his CEO “doesn’t believe in” privacy, which should scare the bejesus out of anyone with a Facebook account — and that encompasses just about everyone reading this now.

http://www.vimeo.com/2787479Leaderless Resistance - Fighting "Network Centric Warfare" Principals
"In these trying times it is tempting to fall for our "Traditional Enemies" favorite trick - "The Strong Man".
First they sow the chaos as they did in Germany and Russia and then they proffer up the "Leader" who will restore order.
That "Leader" will of course, unfortunately, have to declare martial law and suspend the relevant constitution.
Our traditional Enemy also likes to use complex computer modeling and "Network Centric Warfare" techniques to target, track and eventually assassinate "hubs" in any counter movement. Look at what they have done in Gaza? They have targeted well known ENTIRE families to WIPE OUT important "Hubs" in the Palestinian Resistance Movement.
If chaos be the United States (or else where's) fate, then having a highly "decentralized" movement producing potent counter propaganda will make sure the old "Strong Man" routine cannot be used by them.
Colin Powel is a likely candidate to run a "coup" from the Pentagon to "restore order" - cast out a few members of the Jewish Criminal Networks troop to make us happy, and continue business as usual. In the chaos the "Leaders" that have grown up around knowledge of the history of Jewish Subversion and Criminality will disappear...but thats awfully hard to do when there are Hundreds of million's of us
Get fighting. Get cracking. Get out your video camera and meet them in the streets, on the beaches, in their offices. Give them no rest. Shine a light on them, their criminality - do NOT let these criminals remain anonymous.
P.S: Endorsement of several websites at the end of this video does not represent total agreement with all the views and opinions contained there in. They are for informational purposes only. Take what you will from them. My particular emphasis these days is about "deception" and the infiltration of Movements designed to inform about the particulars of the Judeomasonic Networks. Most people (like I used to be) are completely naive and utterly unprepared to face the enemy."

The NWO uses leaderless resistance against you by using artificial intelligence agile network centric warfare systems. They are trying to be more agile than the full collective resistance of free humanity--agile to outmaneuver all of our defenses, such as in the infowar. As Josh explained, the OODA loop can be broken. It can also be inundated with an overload of extremely dynamic awareness amongst the masses, so that it cannot craft defenses and offenses to fight back. Empower yourself with the information in this video. It will help you tremendously to understand all of the military documents I have posted in the PH.D section, it will help you understand how the NWO carries out false flags, how they operate militarily, and other ways.
