there's maybe a rotten apple in the brl ?
Further down the page another link to a story, actually a video : Facebook Tracks All Websites Visited by Members and Non-Members republicbroadcasting.org/?p=18106 I'm not too sure. Haven't been on that website recently. It does not surprise me that Facebook is tracking their visitors. It's an old ploy to get them in the trick bag. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Carol Huang DUBAI // The most popular Twitter hashtags in the Arab region in the first three months of this year were “Egypt”, “Jan25”, “Libya”, “Bahrain” and “protest”. Nearly 9 in 10 Egyptians and Tunisians surveyed in March said they were using Facebook to organise protests or spread awareness about them. All but one of the protests called for on Facebook ended up coming to life on the streets. These and other findings from the newly released second edition of the Arab Social Media Report by the Dubai School of Government give empirical heft to the conventional wisdom that Facebook and Twitter abetted if not enabled the historic region-wide uprisings of early 2011. In part by using the social networking sites, activists organised and publicised the unprecedented protests that gave rise to the so-called Arab Spring, which has so far seen longtime governments in Egypt and Tunisia fall, regimes in Syria, Libya, Yemen and Bahrain clash with the opposition, and leaders in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE offer more benefits to their populace. Social media – its rise and its new activist uses – have “played a critical role in mobilisation, empowerment, shaping opinions and influencing change,” the report said. Just how integral its role was has been debated, it said, “with some camps labelling them the main instigators and others relegating them to mere tools.” “Regardless, it can be stated that many of the calls to protest in the Arab region were initially made on Facebook,” it said. “As the initial platform for these calls, it cannot be denied that they were factor in mobilising movements.” Facebook usage swelled in the Arab region between January and April and sometimes more than doubled, the report found. Overall, the number of users jumped by 30 per cent to 27.7m, compared with 18 per cent growth during the same period in 2010. In the past year, the number of users has nearly doubled from 14.8m. Usage in Bahrain grew 15 per cent in the first three months of the year, compared with 6 per cent over the same period last year. Egypt saw 29 per cent growth compared to 12 per cent last year. Tunisia had 17 per cent growth compared to 10 per cent last year. The exception was Libya, where usage fell by 76 per cent. One possible reason is that many there have fled amidst fierce fighting between the regime and rebels. During the protests in Egypt and Tunisia, the vast majority of 200-plus people surveyed over three weeks in March said they were getting their information from social media sites (88 per cent in Egypt and 94 per cent in Tunisia). This outnumbered those who turned to non-government local media (63 per cent in Egypt and 86 per cent in Tunisia) and to foreign media (57 per cent in Egypt and 48 per cent in Tunisia). On Twitter, the hashtag “Egypt” had 1.4 million mentions in the three months of the year. Other hashtags – which are essentially search terms – “Jan25” had 1.2m mentions; “Libya” had 990,000; “Bahrain” had 640,000; and “protest” had 620,000. The flurry of tweets spiralled during the turning points of the uprisings. In Tunisia they peaked around the January 14 protest start date. In Egypt they spiked around February 11 when longtime President Hosni Mubarak stepped down. And in Bahrain they jumped in the days after the demonstrations began on February 14. Government attempts to ban such sites ended up backfiring, the survey of Egyptians and Tunisians found. Just over a quarter of those polled (28 per cent in Egypt and 29 per cent in Tunisia) said the blocking of Facebook disrupted their efforts to organise and communicate. But more than half (56 per cent in Egypt and 59 per cent in Tunisia) said it had a positive effect, motivating them to press on and mobilising newcomers. The authorities’ efforts to block out information, the report said, ended up “spurring people to be more active, decisive and to find ways to be more creative about communicating and organising”.
that 'free facebook service' smelled like mossad-cia-miX from day one with that house of satanist little goat starting it up.

"We report, you decide" is FOXes motto, I don't put JS in the same category.
CIA Following Twitter And Facebook To Analyze Public Opinion, Predict Major Events McLEAN, Va. — In an anonymous industrial park, CIA analysts who jokingly call themselves the "ninja librarians" are mining the mass of information people publish about themselves overseas, tracking everything from common public opinion to revolutions. The group's effort gives the White House a daily snapshot of the world built from tweets, newspaper articles and Facebook updates. The agency's Open Source Center sometimes looks at 5 million tweets a day. The analysts are also checking out TV news channels, local radio stations, Internet chat rooms – anything overseas that people can access and contribute to openly. The Associated Press got an apparently unprecedented view of the center's operations, including a tour of the main facility. The AP agreed not to reveal its exact location and to withhold the identities of some who work there because much of the center's work is secret. From Arabic to Mandarin, from an angry tweet to a thoughtful blog, the analysts gather the information, often in a native tongue. They cross-reference it with a local newspaper or a clandestinely intercepted phone conversation. From there, they build a picture sought by the highest levels at the White House. There might be a real-time peek, for example, at the mood of a region after the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden, or perhaps a prediction of which Mideast nation seems ripe for revolt. Yes, they saw the uprising in Egypt coming; they just didn't know exactly when revolution might hit, says the center's director, Doug Naquin. The center already had "predicted that social media in places like Egypt could be a game-changer and a threat to the regime," he said in an interview. The CIA facility was set up in response to a recommendation by the 9/11 Commission, its first priority to focus on counterterrorism and counterproliferation. Its predecessor organization had its staff heavily cut in the 1990s – something the CIA's management has vowed to keep from happening again, with new budget reductions looming across the national security spectrum. The center's several hundred analysts – the actual number is classified – track a broad range of subjects, including Chinese Internet access and the mood on the street in Pakistan. While most analysts are based in Virginia, they also are scattered throughout U.S. embassies worldwide to get a step closer to their subjects. The center's analysis ends up in President Barack Obama's daily intelligence briefing in one form or another almost every day. The material is often used to answer questions Obama poses to his inner circle of intelligence advisers when they give him the morning rundown of threats and trouble spots. "The OSC's focus is overseas, collecting against foreign intelligence issues," said CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood. "Looking at social media outlets overseas is just a small part of what this skilled organization does," she said. "There is no effort to collect on Americans." The most successful open source analysts, Naquin said, are something like the heroine of the crime novel "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," a quirky, irreverent computer hacker who "knows how to find stuff other people don't know exists." An analyst with a master's degree in library science and multiple languages, especially one who grew up speaking another language, makes "a powerful open source officer," Naquin said. The center had started focusing on social media after watching the Twitter-sphere rock the Iranian regime during the Green Revolution of 2009, when thousands protested the results of the elections that kept Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power. "Farsi was the third largest presence in social media blogs at the time on the Web," Naquin said. After bin Laden was killed in Pakistan in May, the CIA followed Twitter to give the White House a snapshot of world public opinion. Since tweets can't necessarily be pegged to a geographic location, the analysts broke down reaction by language. The result: The majority of Urdu tweets, the language of Pakistan, and Chinese tweets, were negative. China is a close ally of Pakistan's. Officials in Pakistan protested the raid as an affront to their nation's sovereignty, a sore point that continues to complicate U.S.-Pakistani relations. When President Obama gave his speech addressing Mideast issues a few weeks after the raid, the tweet response over the next 24 hours came in negative from Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, the Persian Gulf and Israel, too. Tweets from speakers of Arabic and Turkic contended that Obama favored Israel, while Hebrew tweets denounced the speech as pro-Arab. In the following days, major news media came to the same conclusion, as did analysis by the covert side of U.S. intelligence based on intercepts and human intelligence gathered in the region. The center is also in the process of comparing its social media results with the track record of polling organizations, trying to see which produces more accurate results, Naquin said. "We do what we can to caveat that we may be getting an overrepresentation of the urban elite," said Naquin, acknowledging that only a small slice of the population in many areas being monitored has access to computers and Internet. But he points out that access to social media sites via cellphones is growing in such areas as Africa, meaning a "wider portion of the population than you might expect is sounding off and holding forth than it might appear if you count the Internet hookups in a given country." Sites such as Facebook and Twitter have become a key resource for following a fast-moving crisis such as the riots that raged across Bangkok in April and May of last year, the center's deputy director said. The AP agreed not to identify him because he sometimes still works undercover in foreign countries. As director, Naquin is identified publicly by the agency although the location of the center is kept secret to deter attacks, whether physical or electronic. Naquin says the next generation of social media will probably be closed-loop, subscriber-only cellphone networks, like the ones the Taliban uses to send messages among hundreds of followers at a time in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Those networks can be penetrated only by technical eavesdropping by branches of U.S. intelligence, such as the National Security Agency – but Naquin predicts his covert colleagues will find a way to adapt, as the enemy does. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/04/cia-twitter-facebook_n_1076100.html
That's the way to get it done. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson How Israeli Occupation Forces, Bahraini Monarchy Guards Trained U.S. Police For Coordinated Crackdown On “Occupy” Protests At the time, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department was preparing for an imminent confrontation with the nascent “Occupy” movement that had set up camp in downtown Oakland, and would demonstrate the brunt of its repressive capacity against the demonstrators a month later when it attacked the encampment with teargas and rubber bullet rounds, leaving an Iraq war veteran in critical condition and dozens injured. According to Police Magazine, a law enforcement trade publication, “Law enforcement agencies responding to…Occupy protesters in northern California credit Urban Shield for their effective teamwork.” Training alongside the American police departments at Urban Shield was the Yamam, an Israeli Border Police unit that claims to specialize in “counter-terror” operations but is better known for its extra-judicial assassinations of Palestinian militant leaders and long record of repression and abuses in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Urban Shield also featured a unit from the military of Bahrain, which had just crushed a largely non-violent democratic uprising by opening fire on protest camps and arresting wounded demonstrators when they attempted to enter hospitals. While the involvement of Bahraini soldiers in the drills was a novel phenomenon, the presence of quasi-military Israeli police – whose participation in Urban Shield was not reported anywhere in US media – reflected a disturbing but all-too-common feature of the post-9/11 American security landscape. exiledonline.com/max-blum...kdown-on-occupy-protests/
Hilarious!!! And come to find out there are all kinds of secret data trackers and GPS monitors actually built into the newer phones and they can be downloaded from ten feet away. Well I guess the good of all this is less colatteral damage when the drone's missile locks onto to your phone. Just trying to be optimistic.

I will just let my webmaster say it for me.... John, Check it out: http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=140982 I don't get what their issue is. Anyone with half a brain knows that all electronic communications in this day and age are compromised. That doesn't mean you can't turn big brother's technology against them. Social media will do nothing but help RBN grow.
thanks for reading Texe Marrs article about Newt that I sent to you.
..from the marketing dept.
....rotten apple in the barrel? ...from the marketing dept.? What exactly is your problem with this network? Or is it me you have a problem with? If you have a problem, please state it clearly and stop with the snide comments and inuendo.If you have an issue with me call me @ 800-724-2719. What the hell is wrong with Republicbroadcasting network? What may I ask is wrong with you? The marketing dept as you call it has put up Christine Veith's website on our homepage free of charge since this network started. That would have been a charge of over $24,000. I had hoped that this site would be of benefit to the users of freedumforum and to the people of the audience of RBN.
I dont know much about you or your network, but here you are exactly right. It's a great tactic. I think it was Sun Tsu that said, in The Art Of War, something like "One enemy cart is worth 24 of ours". And I'm finding out that where there is no issue, an issue will be invented. -------------------------------------------------------- so you pimp the cia's facebook program. pretty straightforward. at least you warn folks as you suck them in. or after. whatever.
Try listening to it.....it has cost me about 3 million dollars so far...I live in a $155,000 house with about $30,000 in equity in it. What I do is about true liberty and freedom not money or anything else. Thirty diferent talk show host with only one goal in mind..to help educate!!!
Go screw yourself.
are you having a bad day, john ? do you kiss people with that mouth ?
Only when I run across useless indiviuals such as yourself.
and you're useful, you and your cia facebook ?
RBN is an excellent network and John and Sandra have worked hard and sacrificed a lot to keep it operating for those who eschew MSM and seek alternative news and information. So what if they use FB? I do too and I use it to help educate friends and family as well as keeping in touch with peeps I wouldn't otherwise. sorry about this, John. Reread my post. I have no problem with him. Just the opposite.
-------------------------------------------------------- i know. i included you in my post because you wrote that you didn't know much about John or his network. ;)
How many tens of thousands people does this take? Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Speaking as someone who has been under surveillance on and off since High School they already know everything about me including the color of my underwear. So, being tracked on Fazebook or TWITter means little to me personally.
I agree with you, Christine, and know that John and Sandra have worked long and hard to be where they are with the network today. Like you, I have been a supporter and listener from day one. At the same time I sometimes wonder if the compromises we make for the short term are really good in the long haul. I don't use facebook and everyone else has the same option. I don't use "any" of the systems enticements because that's what maintains the system. We all know that the CIA funded both google and facebook so it's hard for me to find fault with ROTARA for his anti-social network stance even though he may not have submitted his opinion in the most tactful manner. (Hey, but that's the way he is and most of us know it because we participate regularly. He has a straight up no bullshit approach that can be abrasive but its honest.) I think he and John would like each other if they happened to meet. That being said, there are a million ways that we shoot ourselves in the feet. Until we get it through our heads that we cannot serve two masters, we'll continue to be enslaved by the current one. I know it's difficult for people to change horses in mid-stream. We've become addicted (for the most part) to a system that operates like fly paper in that any contact with it is all it takes to subject the contactee to its rules, regulations and laws. All of the alternative talk programs use paypal or credit card services to do business. Most would say that they couldn't remain viable otherwise. As harsh as this might sound that's exactly what keeps the current slavemasters in charge of everything. I don't have all of the answers but I know we have to wean ourselves off of the radioactive FEDERAL RESERVE currency system. I hear alternative radio programs that advertise for Tax Consultants in order to service their network debt when everything they stand for is in diametric opposition to the FEDERAL RESERVE System and its debt collectors at the IRS. The thing that I truly think must be realized is that we are at war. It's a different kind of war and most of the fatalities as you well know are amongst us. There aren't often bombs or automatic weapons, there are economic IEDs with trip wires everywhere. The FEDS use our own earnings against us just as they use the social networks and probably 4UM to spy on us. War is hell. "Anyone intent upon achieving "smaller government" should consider quitting the current fraud."
I will check it out. Education is good. But are there any shows on how to put that education to use? On how to turn the enemies weapons against themselves. That is what is in short (or nonexistent) supply. Otherwise, we are just smarter and more aware slaves, imo. This is what bothers me about the OWS movement. Notice that they weren't moved against until sanitation became an issue. IOW, they didn't give a damn about any demonstrations because it was a safe outlet for that anger. But if those demonstrators had turned all that energy into going guerrilla on the PTB's asses, they might have had an effect. We know who the enemies are. We just need some ideas on how to attack them. IMO we need actual tactics that can be put to use by anyone. They already declared war against us, long ago. It's time to fight back. -------------------------------------------------------- Someone needs to write a modern version of Abby Hoffman's Steal This Book. SolvoSermo.Com Free speech Video Hosting
I read that some time ago. For the time it was written for, it was probably a very good book, except for the political crap in it. No amateur is going to out-politic the politicians. I think it's judo that uses the enemies momentum against them, and that is what I'd like to see being done. You're right. If I was more creative, I'd do it myself. But this is one area where I know there are more knowledgeable and talented people out there than I am. It should be a group effort. Anonymous just does it for the "lulz" (their words). We need to do it, to win. Lulz are secondary in importance. -------------------------------------------------------- Thank you Christine
the Jews have been using these "social networks" to overthrow the Arab countries in the middle East and Soros is funding the 'Occupy' movement' so Don't get fooled again
