Why and How I permanently Deleted my Facebook account

More and more people seem to be making this move, especially within specific demographics and specific countries... and for a wide-range of reasons. If you're very familiar with me, you know that I believe the USA is Mystery Babylon... and you also know that the USA has become and is rapidly becoming, not a communist or socialist, but a Fascist empire. Fascism is generally the veiled merger of government and corporations (i.e., via the revolving door). It is cloaked in 'free enterprise capitalism', but that is only the cloak. We essentially no longer have government or corporations. We have Corporatocracy. We have psychopathic fascists... who are largely controlled or manipulated by a few Central Banking families... who themselves are controlled, knowingly or unknowingly, by the Adversary. It is interesting to note that Facebook was recently, openly (and some think illegally) 'bank' rolled by who? Goldman Sachs! Who really knows who all the previous funding sources were? Zuckerberg and his executives have not and will not escape the ultimate whims of the fascist elite and their maniacal/manipulative agenda.

Why am I leaving Facebook forever?

1. Because my time and energy is better spent reading, researching, and writing on various topics, not getting sucked into frivolous discussions and debates on Facebook.
2. Because my time and energy is better spent with family... working with them in our garden and with our animals and in other quality real-life HUMAN experience.
3. Because Facebook is a technical security risk... on many levels.
4. Because Facebook is a narcissistic black-hole for myself and for most people who use it. It is designed to be that way.
5. Because Facebook usage borders on Idolatry. Just look at how emotionally traumatized some family and friends become at even the most minuscule prospect of leaving Facebook. The reactions online and offline are extremely intriguing.
6. Because Facebook usage borders on Psychosis. Okay, granted... there is a thin line between Idolatry and Psychosis.
7. Because of Facebook censorship and post/comment manipulations (of which I have experienced many). How many times have I posted something, just to see it strangely disappear? This has not been a browser specific or computer specific problem... and it has aggravated me to no end. My time is precious... see points #1 and #2. See point #17 as to why time is precious to FB.
8. Because I can pursue virtual like-minded community else where... on forums like WayToZion.org ...where fascist psychopaths are not supported.
9. Because non-technical users unwittingly post sensitive and/or private information (concerning myself and others) in public view. Some of the things that have been posted were not necessarily sensitive, but have been extremely tacky and/or unprofessional and/or accusatory and/or relationship threatening. Not a major reason, but something to add to the list.  =)
10. Because Facebook still gives private information to non-government third-parties... and the only guarantee that Facebook won't is the good faith and credit of Zuckerberg... a bank account that defaulted long long ago.
11. Because people could automatically add me to groups without an invitation.
12. Because of ever-growing spam problems.
13. Because of lame and/or seductive advertisements in the sidebar that wouldn't go away no matter how many times I reported them.
14. Because Facebook is a bubble... a fad bubble... one that will disappear as fast it appeared... and I generally like to be ahead of the curve.
15. Because Zuckerberg doesn't think I can.
16. Because Zuckerberg doesn't think I can stay away... forever.
17. Because Zuckerberg's business model is to create addicts. He makes money the more we're on his site. He loses money because of my departure and because of this post. That actually feels good. I removed the Facebook connect plugin from this site in order to not encourage Facebook usage. If you want to share links on Facebook, that is your prerogative. I can't and won't stop you. I'm not a fascist. =)
18. Because Zuckerberg gives Jewish business men a worse rap than they already have (I know, many didn't need any of his help). I simply do not want to contribute to his ego or cash flow any longer.
19. Because it is one of the many heroic things I can do in the fight against Babylon's ever-growing fascist empire.

Non-Causes

I'm not leaving Facebook because of fear of Babylon's fascist empire or what they can do to me individually. It isn't that difficult to find me... and I don't have anything to hide. I do believe we should be a Light and shouldn't fear death, but we don't necessarily have to be a Light on Facebook in particular. Would Yeshua or Moshe or Eliyahu use Facebook to reach people? I don't know. Maybe they would. Would they use a website or blog like this? I don't know. Would they want me to use this particular medium? Maybe... again... I don't know. What I do know is that I'm done with Facebook, in particular.

How to Delete, not Deactivate your Facebook account:

Before you permanently delete your account, there is an option to download all of your data. I recommend doing that first, but it may take a few hours to complete. Once your download is done and you complete the deletion process... be sure not to return to Facebook in any form for at least 14 days... or your account will be transitioned from the Deletion queue to Deactivated status (at least that is the story I'm hearing).

The links below will take you directly to the "Delete" account button, which is generally difficult to find (by design no doubt).

• https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16929680703
• http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account

The Deactivation link is easy to find within your Account settings. That is FB's preference because they're "banking" on the expectation that you'll be back.

Note: I'm not going underground or hiding. I'm just not going to shine my Light through Zuckerberg's filters any longer.

Don't be afraid! Join the FB exodus! Shalom!
