It must be coincidental that on the first day of 2008 I finally get confirmation that I am finally considered a subversive by the PTB - the Powers That Be, an abbreviation I also just learned today and think I will continue to use. It was one of my grandfather's favourite terms.
The story is still hazy, and I shall repost on it later. But some friend of mine was apparently told by his/her superiors at, I believe, a school board, that he/she had to "de-friend" me on Facebook, apparently because of the nature of the things I post there.
So, I am very, very proud feeling now, as you might imagine. My attempts to get noticed by someone who cares have been vindicated.
I'm a little curious what it is that I posted to Facebook that set off someone's subversion alarm. I tend to keep my Facebook postings fairly tame since all my real, flesh-and-blood friends (except one) can see them. So I don't post about U.F.O.'s and stuff, and I keep the depleted uranium posts to a minimum. Perhaps it was the Freeway Blogger link that I posted.
On a sad note, and I hope this is not related, on going back through my Facebook posts I discovered that Facebook had removed a posted link to a video on the Burma crackdown. It is possible this was because the original YouTube copy had disappeared, which happened in some cases, as you can see from the missing videos ate the bottom of my Burma page here.
So this is how the new year starts. A sense of foreboding....
