US orchestrates regime change in Libya, using social media

http://www.mathaba.net/news/?x=626316 This video confirms what Mathaba investigations have shown in the case of Iran "Green Revolution" before, and now Libya, that Twitter accounts are fake. Twitter knows this, has all the IP addresses, but is in partnership with the U.S. State Department.
Mathaba is the English language news service with some of the highest numbers of readers in Libya. Because all Libyans only surf the news in Arabic language, most of our readers of the years have been those in government departments, Libyan media, and the government, tasked with monitoring international news media coverage.
Because of our extensive statistical analysis and log keeping, with several million hits each month to pages on the Mathaba network, we have been able to see that not one single hit has come via any Twitter account in Libya. In fact, what does not surprise us since a long time but may surprise the many users of Twitter who believe they are changing the world and influencing things via Twitter, a tiny fraction of 1% of visits come via Twitter anywhere in the world.
Facebook also hardly registers on the radar of referrals. The truth of the matter is, from the small minority of Twitter users who are not fake or "marketing spammers", almost none of them ever click on links to actually open up and read what they are re-tweeting. We have log records going back several years that prove this point, as well as much other data concerning Twitter and Facebook usage that shows they are not at all tools for change.
Where all the real change comes from, is "credible" media networks such as Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, which are in effect owned by Arab Gulf dictatorships, and CNN, the BBC (British Government owned) and others, which give ample coverage to large volume of Tweets, in the mistaken belief that it is a representation of public opinion. In fact, as the video below shows as well as much other research and published data, most such accounts are fake.
Is the media thus just being misled and dishonest, at best quoting "unsubstantiated reports", or do the editors actually know what is going on. The latter is the case, and they edit reports, censor out all those that do not suit the objectives of their sponsors, owners or advertisers, whilst giving coverage to fake news in the pretence that they are not aware that it is fake. Yet, even children know that setting up a Twitter account requires not even an email, let alone any verification of identity.
Twitter is so blatantly anti-democracy, anti-freedom and pro-U.S. regime that they refuse to even give a verified status to the Mathaba News Agency official Twitter account, but will verify accounts of "celebrities" and lesser western politicians, but not the prominent son of Colonel Gaddafi, Saif Al-Islam who also has a Twitter account. Further, we have data showing Twitter censors some accounts from appearing in hash tag search results, and also prevents undesirable tags from appearing in it's top trending reports.
It is for this reason, that some countries have actually blocked "social networking" sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, because it is well known among intelligence circles that these companies, ostensibly owned by Americans or Israeli-Americans, in fact work closely with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. State Department. Again, articles available in the Mathaba Gold and Silver archives, have covered these facts over many years.
It is also for this reason, that Mathaba embraces Open Source Freedom Software initiatives which have created products actually much superior to Twitter, and one that is developing superiority to Facebook, and has made these social networking and media services available to our readers free of charge.
Note from Video Editor: Joogle's JewTube had made the original video posted on 30th March inaccessible. We now replace it with a version with both English and French subtitles, today April 8th, to further increase it's readership in Africa. We will continue to replace this video if it becomes deleted, but we rely upon our readers to inform us if it is no longer available. If so, please leave a comment below so we can take action. #http://www.mathaba.net/news/libya
