The phone tapping problem
is indeed global:
Besides
the security concerns for your own property and information this
offers another, considerably more disturbing possibility.
What's
more disturbing than having your identity and everything you own
stolen?
News
media are at best, unreliable, at worst, fabrications and fantasies.
If
you can intercept those, you can rewrite or block them:
"There's
rioting in the streets, and the police
have
opened up with automatic weapons fire on the crowd."
Sent
from China, or Malaysia or London, anywhere--
Becomes:
"Hey!
Having a great time. Getting ploshed & laid. Glad you're not
here. :)"
Combine
this with an unstable global economy, potable water shortages
tottering governments, rapidly changing weather patterns
(10-20xfaster than is being reported,) whatever the current threats
of the day happen to be--the knowledge about them can be contained,
if not forever, for several days.
Most,
if not all governments (and
probably corporations)
monitor internet and phone traffic already. With only a slight change
in programming, this traffic can be edited or blocked almost in
real-time and that includes revising voice messages.
That
leaves radio amateurs (who are registered to their governments,) and
travelers for news sources--news then travels at the speed of
transport. All vehicular traffic, air, ground & water is
monitored at the boarders—and elsewhere in most places those
traffic and stoplight cameras everywhere. If the government where you
are, shuts down travel, anything moving becomes a readily seen
target--day or night.
Combine
this with remote or automated piloted armed drone aircraft (their
abilities only limited by their programmers abilities and the
powers-that-be desires.)
If
it moves. Kill it.
That
this can
be done should scare the pants off everyone who's not the
powers-that-be.
That it hasn't
happened isn't any real comfort.
The
only thing makin the 1984
style tyranny impossible in the past was that you eventually end up
having everyone watch everyone else, nothing gets done--and people
are unreliable. In the US we have successfully trained the children
for the past 30 years to report suspicious activities (mom & dad
= terrorist/drug dealer|user?)
Wireless
phone dependence is nearly universal in many countries--the only
communications in some--in the developed countries nearly every child
who can dial a phone--which means: push a button—has a phone. One
button with speed dial (how often do you get butt calls? If people
can dial their phone with their butt, which has no intelligence, it's
reasonable to assume that most humans from about age 3 on up can do
so.
The
most successful tyrannies are, like the best cons, those in which the
victims beg for it. It's how Hitler
and Peron did it,
and it's how the USA has effectively lost all rights for
individuals. For those elsewhere, the USA's vowed to go anywhere to
fight the "War
on Terror" and the "War
on Drugs"--which even the US government admits have only
made the problems worse.
Even
before the current threat in the Senate was written--as far
back as 2001, it has been possible for the US government to
'legally' abduct and--whatever--anyone they decide is a 'terrorist.'
And few governments have ever bothered to get permission to abduct
whoever they're after, wherever they are, in a covert operation.
It's
really only about 1% of the population that is an active threat
capable of leading others and seriously thinking about situations.
Most
governments already track such people--they tend to be visible.
Most
governments in the developed world could 'disappear' the
majority of these people overnight.
In
the morning, a few journalists, teachers, lawyers and other
professionals aren't to be seen at work--and no one knows anything
about it.
Krystallnacht
was, by comparison, a larger operation, more difficult to coordinate.
I'll
admit, that this sounds like the ravings of mad-man--until you
verify and examine what technology and laws are in place. Am I
crazy? Is this just in my head? I certainly hope I am just crazy.
If
you control information, laws become irrelevant.
People
are conditioned to believe that 'conspiracy
theories' are all just wackos. Part of this is that if the
government explanation is conspiracy, they never call it that...it's
aways “ organization” responsible.
A
conspiracy
exists any time a group plans an illegal act. Whether they call
themselves "Al
Qaeda,"
the Senate, or have
no name at all, they exist. And most world-shaking human events have
involved one or more conspiracies: From the murder of Caesar, to the
founding of governments of the USA, France, Argentina, Egypt, Germany
and many more, conspirators have
succeeded and changed the world.
History
is written by the winners.
Every
monarchy in Europe has it's origination in a few men grabbing control
of a group. Legitimacy is
made up afterwards.
