Facebook, Google, Microsoft and many other tech companies have admitted to taking data we voluntarily and involuntary input into our computers and selling it to third parties who have unknown agendas. Information such as what school we attended, what our occupation is, and who we are married to along with every other piece of information on our computers or on the web, are taken and used as currency. Information is power, we all knew this, but information taken from the social media accounts of billions across the world is control. Control over the way you think, what political party you will vote for next, what you will order from the takeout next friday, what you you love and what you will hate, who you will befriend and dismiss.

How do we know how our information is used? We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be certain, but we can be sure that they are willing to pay hundreds of millions of pounds for it as evidence by a WikiLeaks report from 2017. How does it feel to just be another line of data in the vault of a major tech company server room? Or invevitably, a piece of intel to help sway the next election results.

Evidence suggests that the microphones and cameras in our devices are being used without us being made aware. With the implementation of AI assistants such as Siri, Alexa, and Cortana, we have willfully accepted this fact - not as something that can be used to control our lives, but as something that will help make our lives easier.

But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the facts. Yes, you, the reader. Afterall what harm could an AI listening to my conversations do? Next time you write a message to a loved one, turn dictation on and watch how accurately modern technology can transcribe your voice. Every conversation you have could be written down. Including the one you had yesterday with your cousin about how you think immigration is getting out of hand.

Everyone is worried about not being polite enough - the risk of offending someone is so high that we’re all walking on think ice trying to keep our jobs. But imagine what could happen if those conversations you think are so private get into the wrong handa? Or all the hands? It would be easy to villify you - completely destroy your reputation and assasinate your character. They know what you’re up to, but that’s not what you should fear. You should worry about the fact that no one really cares.

NTROL

For years these truths were made available online but discredited due to the source reporting them. Now the truth is widely accepted by the mainstream it’s disregarded because we won’t do anything about it. Everybody’s clueless as to what to do, we’re all just walking around looking at our phones, looking at photos of our auntie’s cats on instagram.

We’re all just sitting around braindead watching makeup tutorials on youtube, catching up with the latest gossip our peers are posting on facebook, liking the latest tweets from our favourite reality tv show stars. We know what’s going on and we’re giving it all away for free. Who even cares who wins the next election anyway?

Nothing ever affects us anyway. Or me. Or anyone else watching Kanye West’s latest manic episode in the Oval Office. It’s all just another part of life. Like taxes and dying, we just have to accept it as an invevitability. Well I’m telling you you’re wrong. I’m wrong. We’re all wrong! This is not the future our great grandparents fought for in the World Wars - soveignty over our politics and control over our own lives.

We’ve been ‘getting on with things’ for too long. You can’t just get up in the morning and go to work while all of this is happening. I’m telling you that it has to end right now from the moment you read this. You need to read this carefully because what I’m telling you is the truth! Facebook is not the truth! Instragram is just a version of reality we have been allowed to see. You need to face up to what we know but were not allowed to find out. Follow my instructions carefully or it’s over.

You need to go to your facebook page, click on the icon in the top right corner of your browser, you need to click on the account settings option, then you must head strsight to ‘My Facebook Information’ in the left collumn! Don’t let them control your data any longer! Click the ‘delete your account and information’ and delete your account immediately. They will delay the deletion process by two weeks, this is so they can make a full back up of your information on their servers, but they will no longer be able to harness anymore information from you. Put tape on your webcam and microphone when not in use, this will prevent any third parties like those that our data is being sold to from getting more info from you. Be brave and take control back over your life!

“I am a 29 year old man that owns a business in the automotive industry. I struggle with schizophrenia. I’ve known there was something wrong with me from a very early age, but I didn’t have a name for it until i was 23. Schizophrenia is a debilitating physiological disease that affects both the mind and the body. There isn’t much known about the physiological side of the disease, just that those afflicted by it have much shorter lifespans, and that they are more prone to diseases. The psychological aspect hasn’t been studied long either, but a little more is known about it.”

“What does it mean to have childhoo d onset schizoph renia?” “Normally schizophrenia starts to affect an individual when they reach their 20s. With childhood schizophrenia, it appears during your childhood. My umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck in the womb, and when I was delivered by c section my whole body was purple. This asphyxiation in the womb may well have been the cause.”

It was an older movie, probably from the 60s. I don’t remember much, other than a man was acting crazed in the streets. Men in white suits came in an ambulance and put him in a straight jacket. It ended with him being taken away to an institute and placed in a rubber room. This became a tremendous fear that would dictate my every action throughout my life. I never let anyone know what I saw except for my mother, grandmother and brother. My mother and grandmother were very religious, and told me that the hallucinations were demons, and this just meant that I was chosen by god for great things.”

“Can you tell me how these sympto ms control your life on a typical working day ?” “When i wake up in the morning i have no desire to exist, or even breathe. My only desire is for the pain to stop. I have to force myself to get out of bed, for the sake of other people who rely on me. From there, i face a work day that is filled with anxiety and uncertainty. Is what i’m seeing real or a twisted machination of my mind? Simple tasks like paperwork can become infinitely complex, to the point where i no longer understand them, so i push them off. Interactions with people are a very complex task. I pretend that i’m a human being with emotions, and try to read theirs in order to formulate the proper response, body language and inflection. This in of itself feels like a herculean task, and is very exhausting. I must ignore the paranoid thoughts that constantly bombard my mind. Did someone poison my water while i was away from my desk? Are my employees out to get me? Is that customer a spy from the government who’s come to expose me for what i am and lock me away? All of this is exhausting and excruciatingly painful psychologically.”

“I was never al lowed to show p ain.”

ion?” over the condit l ro nt co y an “Do you have “My father was a very hard man. As a child, one of the first things he taught me was to never show pain. “Never let them see your pain. They’ll know you’re weak.” Expressing or even feeling emotional pain was the epitome of weakness, and therefore immensely shameful. I was never allowed to show pain. I was shamed and even punished for it. “Suck it up, be a man” and “i didn’t raise no choir boy” became the routine. In a sense, this spartan like training unintentionally helped me control my symptoms, and keep them under wraps. When i would go into a full blown hallucination as a child, to the point of panic attack, i forced myself to show no pain, no sign of weakness or distress. I was determined not to be weak and shameful. The paranoia took this tenant to heart and ran with it. To this day i still have trouble showing when i’m in pain, i still feel weak for it. Later in life when the hallucinations, voices and night terrors became unbearable and i tried to kill myself and failed, this tenant of never showing weakness gave me the idea that if i could master internalizing panic attacks to the point that no one around me knew i was having one, that i could fight back against the “demons” i thought were causing me such pain.”

“What do you see when you hallucinate? What do the voices say?” “The hallucinations were generally religious in nature. I would mostly see demons crawling out of the shadows, the devil himself often paid me visits to tell me i was to be the antichrist. Sometimes during conversations a persons face would turn demonic, or creatures would appear from nowhere. Black, inky voids would appear at the most inopportune times and it felt as though I was being sucked in. The voices seemed to have minds of their own. They knew my innermost thoughts and fears. I thought that these were demons assigned to me by satan, and that they could read my very mind. They were never pleasant, always reminding me that i was a soulless husk that god himself had abandoned to them. They would comment on conversations i would have, expound upon my own self doubt and insecure thoughts. They never left my side, and gave me no respite. They only grew in number and would become louder in order to be heard over oneanother. Sometimes the voices would take the sound of people i knew or was talking to, and say horrific things when i turned my back or walked past them.”

At one point it seemed as though there were thousands of demonic voices, all outside of my mind, shrieking as loud as they possibly could. It was deafening. I collapsed and wanted to claw off my ears to make it stop. At my worst, i couldn’t tell if i was dreaming or awake, fantasy was impossible to tell from reality. When i was in middle school i began to lose time. I would end up in places and not know how i got there, or suddenly without warning be hours in the future with no recollection of what happened.”

“You are talking in a past tense regarding your symptoms, did something change in your life that impacted the severity of your condition?” “After my failed suicide attempt at 19 years old i began to look for a solution to my problems. I was still under a severe religious delusion at this time, and was convinced i was possessed by demons. I was absolutely determined to be free of these demons at any cost, even if it cost me my own life. I met with an old man at my church who claimed to know how to rid oneself of demons. Surprisingly enough the bible is filled with some pretty decent psychology. His methods of getting rid of demons basically boiled down to true inner self acceptance, forgiveness of self and others, and a lot of very deep introspective meditation. As a schizophrenic i’m susceptible to fantasy, so i guess this worked in my favor this time. I knew him for about 6 years until he passed away from heart failure, and during that time he mentored me extensively. He had spent a lot of time in china and tibet and adapted their meditation techniques to fit his christian ideals. He was an extremely smart individual and very perceptive. Through this intensive 6 year meditation regimen i was able to quiet the voices, calm the hallucinations and end the night terrors. I maintain a constant state of meditative mindset in order to keep these things at bay. Its become less exhausting and easier to maintain as time passed, but it is still taxing.”

“Is there anything you would like to say to the people reading this magazine now that they know more about your condition?”

“Thank you for agreeing to do this interview John.”

“Modern media gives people with mental disorders a very bad rap. They portray us as serial killers, murderers, monsters. The vast majority of people with schizophrenia are not violent. We’re nothing like you’ve seen on tv or in the movies. The bias makes our arduous existence even more difficult, and some may not seek treatment for fear of being ostracized or ridiculed. This bias makes work and relationships much harder than it should be. I would like to ask that they educate themselves on the condition before they decide who we are.”

“It helped to get this secret off my chest. Thank you.”

“IF NORTH KOREANS PAUSED TO CONTEMPLATE THE OBVIOUS INCONSISTENCIES AND LIES IN WHAT THEY WERE TOLD, THEY WOULD FIND THEMSELVES IN A DANGEROUS PLACE. THEY DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE. THEY COULDN’T FLEE THEIR COUNTRY, DEPOSE THEIR LEADERSHIP, SPEAK OIT, OR PROTEST. IN ORDER TO FIT IN, THE AVERAGE CICITZEN HAD TO DISCIPLINE HIMSELF NO TTO THINK TOO MUCH.” “AS SHE SAT ALONE IN THE APARTMENT, THE ENORMITY OF IT ALL STARTED TO SINK IN. ANY HOPE THAT THE NORTH KOREAN REGIME MIGHT CHANGE WITH THE DEATH OF KIM IL-SUNG WAS QUICKLY DASHED. THE POWER HAD PASSED TO HIS SON. THINGS WEREN;’T GOING TO GET ANY BETTER. SHE HEARD HER FATHER’S WORDS REPLAYING IN HER EARS. “THE SONG IS EVEN WORSE THAN THE FATHER.” “NOW WE’RE REALLY FUCKED,” SHE SAID TO HERSELF. ONLY THEN DID TEARS OF SELF-PITY FILL HER EYES,”

“When outsiders stare into the void that is today’s North Korea, they think of remote villages of Africa or Southeast Asia where the civilizing hand of electricity has not yet reached. But North Korea is not an undeveloped country; it is a country that has fallen out of the developed world. You can see the evidence of what once was and what has been lost dangling overhead alongside any major North Korean road — the skeletal wires of the rusted electrical grid that once covered the entire country.” “Under a system that sought to stamp out tainted blood for three generations, the punishment would extend to parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins. A lot of people felt if you had one life to give, you would give it to get rid of this terrible regime, but then you’re not the only one getting punished. Your family would go through hell.” “North Korean defectors often find it hard to settle down. It is not easy for somebody who’s escaped a totalitarian country to live in the free world. Defectors have to rediscover who they are in a world that offers endless possibilities. Choosing where to live, what to do, even which clothes to put on in the morning is tough enough for those of us accustomed to making choices; it can be utterly paralyzing for people who’ve had decisions made for them by the state their entire lives.”

“Anybody with a functioning brain cannot not know that something is wrong.”

WIKILEAKS HAS OBJECTIVELY PROVEN TO US THAT OUR MAINSTREAM NEWS SOURCES HAVE AN AGENDA THAT IS AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

WITH THE INTERNET BEING THE MOST COMMON MEANS OF COMMUNICATION, OVERTAKING SPOKEN WORD FOR MANY, THE COMMUNICATION WE RECEIVE HAS NEVER BEEN MORE DILUTED.

FAKE NEWS SITES ARE ACCUSING FAKE NEWS SITES OF FAKE NEWS. FACEBOOK BEING THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF NEWS FOR MOST PEOPLE, WANT A MONOPOLY ON WHAT WEBSITES GET TO HAVE THEIR ARTCLES POSTED WHILE OTHERS ARE RENDERED FORBIDDEN.

WE KNOW THINGS ARE BAD, THEY’RE WORSE THAN BAD. WE’VE LOST CONTROL.

AND EVEN AFTER ALL OF THIS YOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE SITLL UNDER CONTROL
