There was a discussion of terrorism. Terrorism would be used widely in Europe and in other parts of the world. Terrorism at that time was thought would not be necessary in the United States. It could become necessary in the United States if the United States did not move rapidly enough into accepting the system. But at least in the foreseeable future it was not planned. And very benignly on their part. Maybe terrorism would not be required here, but the implication being that it would be indeed used if it was necessary.
Along with this came a bit of a scolding that Americans had had it too good anyway and just a little bit of terrorism would help convince Americans that the world is indeed a dangerous place... or can be if we don't relinquish control to the proper authorities.

An Insider Spills the Beans

An Insider Spills the Beans
Your privacy rights are again under attack.
First we had Echelon, a world-wide technological snooping system, which gathers data from faxes, telephone conversations, and e-mails and stores the data in a huge database. This is done to purportedly locate potential terrorists, despite the fact that the program was developed prior to September 11th. So either I am right — along with the rest of the "kooks" out here in cyberspace who are saying that September 11th was orchestrated by those who control our government — or their Echelon network is basically worthless at stopping any kind of an attack against our country. Either way, we should be demanding to know why our government is spending this money to invade our privacy.
The fact is, our privacy rights were under attack by our government long before September 11th. It just so happens, that the "attack" on the World Trade Center and Pentagon that fateful day, provided just the perfect opportunity (where have we heard that word before? Read my earlier post, talking about how they create the opportunity, then seize upon it!)
On the heels of Echelon, came September 11th and the U.S.A. Patriot Act, which was written prior to the "terrorist attacks," and which we are told was not even read by the Congressmen and women who voted for it. The traitors in congress just pulled the "Yes" lever, and like Nero watching Rome burn, figuratively fiddled and said to hell with individual liberty and the Fourth Amendment — not that legislation can usurp the Constitution, but you'd better believe that they will pretend that it does.
Just as our outrage over one incredible infringement of our privacy begins to subside, we are slapped again by another.
It seems as though the monsters who control our country — as well as most of the rest of the world — won't be satisfied until every last corner of your life has been illuminated with the bright lights of their watchful eyes.
The latest assault is one which makes the government's Total Information Awareness program look like a trip to the zoo.
And by the way, speaking of Total Information Awareness, I just noticed that they have now changed the name of that program to "Terrorism Information Awareness." This is a clever public relations move, to try to dispel public concerns that our government really wants to spy on every aspect of your life. By changing "Total Information Awareness" to "Terrorism Information Awareness," they hope to continue to foster the lie that you are not their enemy, that some Muslim, taking flight lessons is, instead.
Make no mistake, if you are an American who loves your freedom, you are their enemy. You don't have to do anything but breathe. These people seek to enslave you, and take away your individual liberty, and control you totally and completely — right down to the very thoughts that you think and the words that you speak.
And judging from the attitudes of the average American, they are doing a pretty effective job at controlling people's minds.
Very few people are asking the necessary questions about September 11th. There are countless descrepancies, and a myriad of unanswered questions with regard to the official government story about what occurred that day, and how it supposedly happened. Yet the average American believes everything that the hi-jacked television networks tell them. The addage seems to be, If it's on the TV news, it must be true. If Rather, Brokaw, or Jennings said it, then that settles it. It might as well have come from God, himself.
As Dr. Richard Day, an insider with the controlling elite, in his speech before a group of pediatric physicians 1969 said:
"People are too trusting. People don't ask the right questions."
The mental conditioning begins in the government-controlled school systems, and is constant in media, and academia. And it is so effective, that people, "Don't ask the right questions." Or any questions.
But just because you trust your government, doesn't mean your government trusts you. The fact that they plan to eliminate your freedom and any wealth that you possess is an issue with which, they believe, you ultimately might have a problem. And you might respond, in kind (or not so kind).
Hence, revokation of your firearms, and the absolute elimination of any privacy to which you currently lay claim.
And hence, "Homeland Security." Securing the homeland. What do they mean by "security?"
The word, "security" is a derivitive of the word, "secure." Webster's New World Dictionary, copyright 1966, defines "secure" as:
noun - 1. Safe from harm, loss, attack, etc. [a secure hiding place.]
This is the definition that you are intended to accept.
2. Free from fear, worry
Again, the intended definition. Of course, placing your faith in government to protect you is fine, as long as the protector doesn't become the aggressor.
3. Fastened or fixed in a firm way [a secure knot.]
4. Sure; certain. [His success is now secure.]
The first and second definitions of "secure" are intended for your consumption, while numbers three and four, I suggest, are their real intentions. Again, quoting from Webster's as we examine the verb definitions of the same word:
verb - 1. To make safe; guard or protect [Secure your house against burglars.]
2. To tie or fasten firmly. [Secure the boat to the dock.]
3. To make sure; guarantee [to secure a loan with a pledge]
4. To get; obtain [to secure an appointment]
In this case, it is #2, #3, and #4 that we need to view as the controllers uses of the word, while #1 would be the definition for public consumption.
Does all of this sound fantastic? Hard to believe? Have I gone off the deep end?
Well, if you don't believe me, then perhaps you should take a gander at an article from Wired News, a magazine that specializes in technology reporting.
The Pentagon is about to embark on a stunningly ambitious research project designed to gather every conceivable bit of information about a person's life, index all the information and make it searchable .... The embryonic LifeLog program would dump everything an individual does into a giant database: every e-mail sent or received, every picture taken, every Web page surfed, every phone call made, every TV show watched, every magazine read.
All of this – and more – would combine with information gleaned from a variety of sources: a GPS transmitter to keep tabs on where that person went, audio-visual sensors to capture what he or she sees or says, and biomedical monitors to keep track of the individual's health ...
This gigantic amalgamation of personal information could then be used to "trace the 'threads' of an individual's life," to see exactly how a relationship or events developed, according to a briefing from the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, LifeLog's sponsor.
Someone with access to the database could "retrieve a specific thread of past transactions, or recall an experience from a few seconds ago or from many years earlier ... by using a search-engine interface."
And think of the "benefits" such a technological leap forward could provide us! Crime would virtually disappear! If a woman was raped, the perpetraitor of the violent act could be swiftly and severely punished, because the government would only have to "pull the tape" of his life recording and watch him commit the act. Case closed!
We could completely do away with the protections built into the American justice system. No longer would we have to worry about an individual being innocent until proven guilty. We'd know that they were guilty. We'd just pull up their file out of the database, and hit "play." There'd be all of the incriminating evidence, transmitted via micro-chip to the powerful GPS satellite, then back down to the Information Awareness Office, or whatever name that they happened to be calling it on that given week.
Of course, if a person dared object to anything this beast of a big brother was trying to do, then of course maybe a few extra sections of computer code could be added to the electronic file. Perhaps, a few thoughts that he/she didn't really think. A few statements could be added that weren't really said by the individual. Or maybe they had been said, but in a moment of anger or frustration.
Folks, do you really want to allow the government to have this much involvement into your life?
Here's another thing to consider. If they can build a system that will monitor you so closely as to record your every word, thought, and deed, then it isn't such a far stretch to suggest that they might use it to input thoughts into your mind. Imagine trying to sleep while your big brother keeps talking to you in your head!
Do you think that I'm crazy to suggest these things? Read the article for yourself.
Sure, LifeLog could be used to train robotic assistants. But it also could become a way to profile suspected terrorists, said Cory Doctorow, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. In other words, Osama bin Laden's agent takes a walk around the block at 10 each morning, buys a bagel and a newspaper at the corner store and then calls his mother. You do the same things – so maybe you're an al Qaeda member, too!
Let me tell you that we're all suspected terrorists. Just by virtue of the fact that you are a living, breathing human being with a mind that can think independent thoughts, is a threat to their Global (Homeland) Security — otherwise referred to as the securing (taking; tying down, firmly) of the Homeland (that is, the entire world).
"The more that an individual's characteristic behavior patterns -- 'routines, relationships and habits' -- can be represented in digital form, the easier it would become to distinguish among different individuals, or to monitor one," Aftergood, the Federation of American Scientists analyst, wrote in an e-mail.
In its LifeLog report, DARPA makes some nods to privacy protection, like when it suggests that "properly anonymized access to LifeLog data might support medical research and the early detection of an emerging epidemic."
But before these grand plans get underway, LifeLog will start small.
They always do, folks. Liberty is never revoked in one fell swoop. It is always in steps. Sometimes, baby steps, sometimes giant leaps. Often, they'll take two steps forward, then one step back, when people get a little upset. But they will always keep moving.
Perhaps, this is what Samuel Adams meant when he said, "The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they ought. ... If therefore a people will not be free; if they have not virtue enough to maintain their liberty against a presumptuous invader, they deserve no pity, and are to be treated with contempt and ignominy."
Unless we learn to turn off the tube, quit caring so much who wins or who loses in the next Tigers game, and tailor our craving for "reality television," we are going to be faced with a real reality. The reality that we have lost our precious privacy and our freedoms.
Then, as you watch the contestants on the CBS reality show, Big Brother, you may not know it, but the real Big Brother will be watching you.
Hey, George Orwell, call your office!
