“The Eye of Sauron”

Posted on August 19, 2012 by KG

‘..Add the now-routine tracking of passports, cameras that read every passing license plate and record the time, NSA’s automated monitoring of email, Google’s and therefore the government’s knowledge of your searches, GPS tracking of cell phones, detailed records of bank transactions, and so on. Not all of these are instantly accessible by the police. They can easily be made accessible, and they move in that direction.
..In short, the technology exists for a detailed, unblinking, unforgetting watchfulness of the entire population beyond anything imagined, or perhaps imaginable, a few decades ago. This is not Fred-drank-too-much-coffee. It is happening.
…..People speak of the onrush of the police state. I think that many do not understand how fast it comes, or how thorough it will be…’           Fred On Everything
THIS – from our own governments and bureaucrats- is the real threat. Not terrorism, not some unhinged clown with a gun, not foreign armies. This is how our freedom is being destroyed. Right now.

    Sometimes, it’s simply time to draw a line under the past and move on.

      Mebbe the victims’ families should get taxpayer-funded travel assistance and the mendacious scum elected into the Parliament can stay home and ponder the reasons why our countries are being invaded by the same terrorists who perpetrated that disgusting crime, and figure out how to stop the invasion? :gunner :gunner :gunner

    That sounds like an eminently sensible plan–which means it’ll never happen.

      And why kids can no longer buy those items – because they turn into “adults” like Uncle Joe!

    People just don’t get how big a deal this is.20 or even 10 years ago this would have been a major FUBAR and heads would have rolled at the Pentagon.It’s not that there was a Russian Sub in the GOM,but that it was there and we didn’t know it.
