"Do not have the Fairy for your enemy. For the rest — you laugh at them.”
“The Fairy?”
“Yes. Her they call the Fairy. Oh my God, a terrible Inglesaccia! She is the head of our police, the Institutional Police. Ecco, she come. I will present you. Miss Hardcastle, permit that I present to you Mr. Studdock.”
Mark found himself writhing from the stoker’s or carter’s hand-grip of a big woman in a black, short-skirted uniform. Despite a bust that would have done credit to a Victorian barmaid, she was rather thickly built than fat and her iron-grey hair was cropped short. Her face was square, stern, and pale, and her voice deep. A smudge of lip- stick laid on with violent inattention to the real shape of her mouth was her only concession to fashion and she rolled or chewed a long black cheroot, unlit, between her teeth. As she talked she had a habit of removing this, staring intently at the mixture of lipstick and saliva on its mangled end, and then replacing it more firmly than before. She sat down immediately in a chair close to where Mark was standing, flung her right leg over one of the arms, and fixed him with a gaze of cold intimacy."

I have exposed their duplicity by using what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.

From 2022 to 2023, average daily internet use decreased by 4.5%, year-over-year, from six hours and 53 minutes to six hours and 35 minutes, to the lowest level since 2016.
The uncredited author from connect-world.com omitted the percentage, and described it only-generally as “huge”. These are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

From 2022 to 2023, daily social media use decreased by 2.4%, year-over-year, from two hours and 47 minutes to two hours and 43 minutes. Connect-world.com said it was “interesting”.
The uncredited Intelligence operative from connect-world.com offered no suggestion whatsoever as to why any of these decreases might have taken place.
Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.
In 2022, average daily internet use was six hours and 53 minutes. This is 14% less than insider-intelligence.com’s 2021 projection of 8 hours. I have exposed their duplicity by using what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
In the 1st Quarter of 2023, average daily internet use decreased by 2.2%, year-over-year, from 409 minutes to 400 minutes. oberlo.com offered no suggestion as to why the decrease might have taken place. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.
THE ARTICLES
On January 30, 2018, datareportal.com said “The latest data from GlobalWebIndex shows that the average internet user now spends around 6 hours each day using internet-powered devices and services – that’s roughly one-third of their waking lives.”
On January 26, 2021, an uncredited article on insiderintelligence.com said “US adults added 1 hour of digital time in 2020”.
For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
The article goes on to say "Amid the pandemic, US adults spent 1 hour more per day on digital activities (across all devices) than they did in 2019, according to eMarketer’s latest time spent forecast from Insider Intelligence. Total digital time is now on track to surpass 8 hours by the end of 2022.
In 2020, US adults spent 7 hours, 50 minutes (7:50) per day consuming digital media*, up 15.0% from 6:49 in 2019, the biggest increase since 2012. It’s also considerably higher than our Q1 2020 projection (7:31)."
From 2019 to 2020, daily consumption of digital media in the U.S. increased by 15%, from six hours and 49 minutes to seven hours and 50 minutes, which was 4.2% greater than insiderintelligence.com’s previous projections.
In the 1st Quarter of 2023, an uncredited author from oberlo.com said “Recent research figures show that in the first quarter of 2023, the average time spent on the internet per person was 400 minutes (six hours and 40 minutes) per day. This was a five-minute increase from the previous quarter and the largest amount of time spent online in at least four quarters. It also marked an annual decrease of nine minutes from Q1 2022’s time spent on the internet.”
For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
Did you notice how the uncredited Intelligence operative from oberlo.com used the general “an annual decrease of nine minutes” as a general hedge against the specific percentage decrease which I was forced to do the math to learn?
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In the 1st Quarter of 2023, average daily internet use decreased by 2.2%, year-over-year, from 409 minutes to 400 minutes. oberlo.com offered no suggestion as to why the decrease might have taken place. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.
A current, undated article on connect-world.com says “Average Time Spent Online Continues Falling; Internet Users Spend 18 Minutes Less Online in 2023 than Last Year”.
Where the uncredited author said “falling” and “18 minutes less”, which are general, in place of the specific statistic which, in journalistic parlance, they “buried” in the body text below.
That’s because, as a propagandist, the uncredited author knows that sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, and their technique goes a long way toward “compartmentalizing” awareness of the specific magnitude of the decrease in internet use which they are attempting to obfuscate.
“Falls” was also used as a thinly-veiled reference to the fallen Lord Lucifer.
(The fall of Lucifer, from “Paradise Lost”, by John Milton, 1667)
For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
The article goes on to say “According to data presented by OnlyAccounts.io [1], internet users spent an average of six hours and 35 minutes online in 2023, or 18 minutes less than last year.”
Where the repetition of the general “18 minutes less” meme is a violent command to the subconscious of the Coincidence theorist reader to stop reading immediately.
I had to do the math - twice - to learn that, from 2022 to 2023, internet use decreased by 4.5%, from six hours and 53 minutes to six hours and 35 minutes.
The uncredited author from connect-world.com omitted the percentage, and described it only-generally as “huge”. These are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
They also offered no suggestion whatsoever as to why it might have taken place. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “stonewalling”.
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those many variants is “interesting”.
That’s why the uncredited Intelligence operative from connect-world.com went on to say "The Digital 2023 Report also showed some interesting data about the time internet users spend on different kinds of media and devices each day.
Gaming consoles saw the biggest decrease of all surveyed categories, with their daily use by 7.1% year-over-year. Statistics show an average internet user spent an hour and five minutes playing games on a console or five minutes less than last year."
Where “statistics show” was used to give the subconscious of the Coincidence theorist reader the green light to say “oh, but they can make statistics show anything!”
The uncredited propagandist from connect-world.com knows that many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal accountability.
“Saw the biggest decrease of all” walks it back a step from gaming consoles actually experiencing it.
The funniest thing of all? I did the math. 65 minutes to 60 minutes is a 7.7% decrease. Connect-world.com deflated the number by 8%, to a fraudulent 7.1% ,to do what little they could to hedge.
I have exposed their duplicity by using what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
From 2022 to 2023, gaming console use decreased by 7.7%, year-over-year, from 65 minutes to 60 minutes.
The article goes on to say "Reading the press media, both online and printed, saw the second-largest
yearly decline of 6.8%, with one hour and 49 minutes of usage time each day. Time spent on music streaming platforms dropped by three minutes or 3.3% compared to 2022."
Where “saw the second largest yearly decline” walks it back a step from the press media actually experiencing it. “Decline” was used as a hedge, because declines are gradual. “Dropped” is, yet again, a thinly-veiled reference to the fallen Lord Lucifer.
(The fountain of the fallen angel, Madrid, Spain)
From 2022 to 2023, reading the press media, both online and printed, decreased by 6.9%, year-over-year, from one hour and 54 minutes to one hour and 49 minutes.
From 2022 to 2023, time spent on music streaming platforms decreased by 3.3%, year-over-year.

That’s why the uncredited Intelligence operative from connect-world.com went on to say “Interestingly, even the time spent on social media dropped compared to the 2022 figures. According to the survey, an average internet user spent two hours and 42 minutes using social media platforms in 2023, or five minutes less than last year.”
Where “dropped” was used because it’s softer than “decreased”, and also as a thinly-veiled reference to the fallen Lord Lucifer.
(Led Zeppelin’s fall of Lucifer logo from “Trampled Underfoot”, 1975)
From 2022 to 2023, daily social media use decreased by 2.4%, year-over-year, from two hours and 47 minutes to two hours and 43 minutes.
