#1 There's an actual ceremony, like ritual, for this? With an actual Genaral officiating?

"Avaunt thee Netflix!!!!"

Does the crowd get to lob stones at the exorcised dishes?

#6 Control the population's access to, and ability to share information, and you control what they can believe to be true.

So, its just like American colleges and universities.

#9 Control the population's access to, and ability to share information, and you control what they can believe to be true.

Case in point: The Mainstream Media's near monopoly on information delivered to the American Public before the widespread use of the internet. A lot of lies were published during that time (including that the 'Tet offensive was a major defeat of America' - Walter Cronkite) and a lot of people got killed as a result.

Back in the '60s and early '70s I was taught that Kennedy and Roosevelt were saints incarnate and Nixon was Satan incarnate, The Vietnam war was American colonialism and a whole lot of other crap. Remember the gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Watergate scandal (yet the much more serious email story of Clinton is barely mentioned. And how much coverage is the DNC's operation to list sexist job offers in Craiglist in Trump's name getting in the MSM?). And lets not forget the gavel-to-gavel coverage of 'a pubic hair on a coke bottle' comment.

They are still trying to put stuff the internet jeannie back into the regulated bottle.

Still might succeed. For the children of course!

They may not be destroying satellite dishes but they sure will try to restrict who has broadcast access on the originating earth stations.
