It makes it easy to fight a war when your enemy does not realise they are in a battle zone.... Last year a larger number woke up to the realisation that there is a war going on right now and we are in a battle...

This year will see more... The war is being waged for your mind... Social media makes a great ground for tracking people's thoughts and ideas to ensure they follow the path you want them to... Ambient findabilty...

This year we all face the future aware that we are in the midst of a battle there will be casualties but the cause has never been more important...

Modern day war fare ... Remember modern day marketing was born from war propaganda machines... See the system for what it is and where you can wake others up to it... And create change by finding a way to utilise whatever your talents in the fight for our minds...
