THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?

MUTI-POLAR WORLD

EMPIRES RISE &FALL

As do virtual Empires

Scandals at UBER force out aberrant CEOs

While ME, TOO decimates Hollywood celebrities(and musicians)

Faux news and hacking of personal data destroys Internet credibility

And military governments close down FACEBOOK faster than you can say "censorship"

WIKILEAKS used to expose corruption,but it,too is tracked and fed bad data.

Hence,the simple solution-shift corporate media to government media-

whether controlled ,banned,diluted or with a parallel entity

FACEBOOK and GOOGLE are no longer Universal Sources.

GOOGLE EARTH has always been censored(military installations/Corporate spying)

FACEBOOK is accused of selling or exposing personal data(Cambridge Analytica scandal)

Both are being subjected to strict scrutiny-and have only controlled access in China.

India may follow..which means information is power,and censored news means propaganda..

India: The government’s new proposal to force internet giants to remove content it views as harmful is drawing comparisons to China’s strict censorship system. Platforms affected could include Facebook, Google, TikTok, and more. The result?  “A splintering internet, where a onetime unified information superhighway has become increasingly restricted in certain areas,” writes the NYT.
