Facebook can tell us a number of things about the world around us, although sometimes those things blow up your news feed and take over your Internet experience. Whether it is the Kardashian family, including Kanye West doing or saying something ridiculous, or a political event or scandal that invokes conversation worldwide through the inter-webs, Facebook [and Twitter] usually becomes the hub of developing news stories where the public weighs in and decides which conversations turn into the talk of the day.


Facebook recently released its ‘Most Discussed Topics of 2015,’ and surprisingly the list has become slightly less like the lists of previous years. Check out the list below:

2016 United States presidential election
Nov. 13 attacks in Paris
Syrian war and refugee crisis
Nepal earthquakes
Greek debt crisis
Marriage equality
Fight against the Islamic State group
Charlie Hebdo attack
Baltimore protests
Charleston shooting and Confederate flag debate


Do you notice anything?

Some may say yes, and some may say no. Your answer largely depends on whether or not you or anyone else for that matter, considers you “awake.”

For those of us who do see it, or are awake, this list is a bit of a breath of fresh air as it continues a trend that has slowly increased over the last 3 years. What is the trend?

One of my favorite things to do is pick up on and analyze trends in the news media and/or events of the world. Trends can help you understand and even prepare for future events, as well as send you subtle alerts when these trends start to develop, depending on what it is we’re talking about of course.

Back in 2013 we saw a list released by Facebook that showed people were talking about some politics and world events, but we still saw a relatively high frequency of popular culture and celebrity stories trending. Stories in 2013 such as Miley Cyrus, the Super Bowl, and the Royal baby — all of which are, to be blunt, non-events. (Yes, we consider these non-events when World War 3 is on the horizon and the world’s economy is quickly crashing.)

In 2014 we saw a steady rise of the ‘world events’ related stories being talked about at a much higher frequency. Take a look below:

World Cup
Ebola virus outbreak
Elections in Brazil
Robin Williams
Ice Bucket Challenge
Conflict in Gaza
Malaysia Airlines
Super Bowl
Michael Brown/Ferguson
Sochi Winter Olympics


The good news? Well, quite frankly this means that young people are finally taking notice that the elite are drunk behind the wheel and speeding up, rather than slowing down. This means the world is collectively waking up, and is shouting “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore,” like a Howard Beale [Social] Network speech. The 2015 list gives us at the very least, for the first time, something we can point to and say, “we are waking people up!”

The moral of the story, though, is that the elite are slowly losing their power over humans on a vastly larger scale each year. All of their old tricks have long been exposed, and their new ones are becoming so much more quickly than in the past.

Let’s hope 2016 has many more positive headlines that trend worldwide on Facebook/Twitter that read something like, “End of the Federal Reserve.”

I noticed just the other day that there are more comments from people that have woken up.
For example, one thread about the San Bernadino shooting had 432 comments. Many from people who felt it was a false flag operation. A debate was going on. The false flag proponents likening the operation to 9/11, Sandy Hook, and Boston Marathon. They were offering education on what a false flag since those with no understanding of false flags were offended because they felt that people were saying no one died in any of those events.
There's still too much fluff and stuff and nonsense on FB and I can only take short doses of it but, it is a progression.

Babysteps for the sheeple, but it's a start...

Isn't it interesting how people get offended when someone suggests no one died in these false flags? Shouldn't they be thrilled with the idea that no one was actually hurt? Just boggles the mind.

As for the thread, just one question: How can anyone be sure what the top trending topics are? With fake users, fake comments, censored info, deleted info, etc, etc, they can just make up anything they want and pass it off as "a trend" and delete things that might be trends. How can anything they say be trusted?

Exactly Matt.

I know from personal experience that within the music industry, to push your product, you can pay to enlist the services of certain companies to 'edge' your product....... these companies launch a social media blitz, youtube, fb, twitter, etc, etc, pushing your product to a critical 'cool' point, wherein it goes viral. The more you pay, the more you play.

Charts and stats...... they can be manipulated to suit whatever the agenda.

With so many trolls and government backed shills, no you can't trust anything or anyone anymore...
