The Surveillance Society - And We As Americans Are Supposed to Accept This?


Our founding fathers never trusted government, and they didn't want us to trust governments either, not even the one in which they were setting up at the time. Why? Well, the abuse they know is so common throughout human history. Were they right to think like this? Well, their history certainly indicated so, and so does the previous periods between their time and our present period for that matter.

How can you know when not to trust a government and when you should trust such authority? Well, a common phrase at the CIA is to "trust no one" but is that really anyway to live one's life? Certainly, we need to have some trust and respect right? Surely, but trust, like respect must be earned. So, has our government earned our respect lately? Well, that is a decent question and yes, I dare to ask it. And, unfortunately, it appears to me that the answer is; no. Let's talk about this shall we, specifically let's talk about our new paradigm of the surveillance society our government is setting up; for us?

Well, that's what they tell us; it's to protect the American People. Maybe or maybe not, perhaps it is to protect the government from the people, because they know they are up to something and realize they've lost the propaganda war. A heavy statement, but let me give you some new information prior to your agreement or disagreement with what I've states thus far.

There was a rather disturbing article in Homeland Security News on November 1, 2012 titled; "New cell phone surveillance method raises privacy concerns," which stated; "The method, known as "stingrays," uses a person's international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) secretly to track someone's location using stingray devices, known as IMSI catchers. The catcher mimics a cell phone tower, but stingrays track the locations of all mobile devices in a given area, including those which are not being targeted."

So, is this the price we all have to pay for technology, and if they can do this with smart phones, they can do it with any device which uses any 2G, 3G, or 4G wireless network, and they can already track people by their use of Wi-Fi because those systems are connected online through ISPs. Why is the government so paranoid? Boy, now that is a really good question isn't it? What is the deal here?

Are they really after terrorists, or even home grown lone-wolf challenges? I'd say if they keep this nonsense up, it will all be a self-fulfilling prophesy, and they will indeed create exactly what they are looking for. In fact, if you read the news much, well, isn't that what's already happening out there? Indeed, I ask that you please consider all this and think on it.
