Facebook Bought by the Big Banks

Have you thought about the fact that the revolution in Egypt was brought about with the help of social networking sites such as facebook and twitter?  And since then, both these important social networking sites have been bought by the very same big banks, JP Morgan and Goldman Saks, that brought the world economy to its' knees?  Couriouser and couriouser.

AmpedStatus.com is an independent news site.  This is what they have to say about themselves.
"AmpedStatus.com is reader funded. Unlike most other so-called independent" news sites, we are not funded by partisan foundations or political organizations. We are not a mouthpiece for either wing of the Two-Party Oligarchy. We are fiercely independent and committed to citizen empowerment through the dissemination of critical information."
Their website began being attacked several weeks ago which caused them to be unable to stay online and eventually caused over 100 other sites to go down as well.  Needless to say, their server decided not to carry them any longer and the cost of trying to do that for themselves was prohibitive.  Check out this video to find out what happened.

And while you are there, become a member of their new social networking site. This is a site not owned by big money and hopefully will not ever be.
