Do
you want your children and grandchildren to live in a
futuristic "big brother" control grid where
everything they do is watched, recorded, tracked and tightly
controlled? Well, that is exactly where things are
headed. We witnessed some really bad totalitarian
regimes during the 20th century, but what is coming is going
to be far more restrictive than any of the despots of the past
ever dreamed was possible. Today, nearly every
government on earth is tightening their grip on their
citizens. Paranoia has become standard operating
procedure all over the planet and nobody is to be trusted.
Global politicians will give speeches about liberty and
freedom even as they undermine them at every turn. There
are very, very few nations on the planet where liberty and
freedom are increasing. Instead, almost everywhere you
turn the "control grid" is getting tighter.
Governments don't want us gathering together and interacting
with one another. Instead, they want us to work our
tails off to support the system, they want us enslaved
financially and constantly drowning in debt, and they want us
addicted to television and other forms of entertainment.
They want us as numb and docile as possible. Meanwhile,
all over the globe they continue to construct a futuristic
"big brother" control grid that will ensure that
they will always be able to control us.
Sadly, this is not the plot to some post-apocalyptic science
fiction movie.
This is really happening.
When you read the list below, each of the 32 signs may not
seem to be all that significant individually. However,
when they are all taken together, they paint a truly
frightening picture....
#1 The days of the free and open Internet are
slowly coming to an end. Many nations around the world
have implemented strict Internet censorship and many other
nations are moving in that direction. With each passing
year the level of freedom on the Internet diminishes.
Regulation of the Internet has even become a primary topic of
discussion at G-8 meetings. According
to The New York Times, French President
Nicolas Sarkozy is leading the charge for a more
"civilized Internet"....
Leaders of the Group of 8 industrialized countries are set to issue a provocative call for stronger Internet regulation, a cause championed by the host of the meeting, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, but fiercely opposed by some Internet companies and free-speech groups.
Why are free speech groups strongly opposing what Sarkozy is
trying to do?
It is because western governments want to kill liberty and
freedom on the Internet just like China is doing. The
Internet has been a great tool for waking people up and
distributing information, and the control freaks that want to
run all of our lives do not like that one bit.
#2 Internet censorship in China, the largest
nation on earth, is
absolutely brutal. The Chinese government
blocks any websites that talk about such topics as the Dalai
Lama, the 1989 crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters and
Falun Gong.
Even web searches for the English word "freedom" are
blocked.
#3 Starting next year, all new cellphones
will be required to contain a chip that will allow the
president to broadcast "emergency alerts" to the
cellphones whenever the president wants. Cellphone users
will not be allowed to opt out of the presidential messages.
The following is how a
CBS news report describes the new
system....
A new national alert system is set to begin in New York City that will alert the public to emergencies via cell phones.It’s called the Personal Localized Alert Network or PLAN. Presidential and local emergency messages as well as Amber Alerts would appear on cell phones equipped with special chips and software.
#4 The U.K. has more surveillance cameras per
citizen than anywhere else in the world. In fact, according
to one estimate, there are 4.8 million
video cameras constantly watching every move citizens make.
#5 A "certified
TSA official" was brought in to
oversee student searches at the Santa Fe High School prom last
weekend.
Will this kind of thing soon be happening at every high school
in America?
#6 The U.S. Department of Agriculture is
spending huge amounts of money to install surveillance cameras
in the cafeterias of public schools so that government control
freaks can closely monitor what our children are eating.
The following is how a recent article posted on
Infowars.com describes this new
program....
Billed as part of an effort to reduce obesity and improve eating habits, small cameras are programmed to take snapshots of lunch trays before and after each student eats. Each child is uniquely identifiable via a barcode attached to the tray. The amount of calories and nutrients that each child has consumed is then calculated via a database containing 7,500 different varieties of food.
#7 The EU is spending hundreds of millions of
euros on
propaganda campaigns in an attempt to
convince the citizens of Europe that the EU is good for them.
#8 Today, FBI surveillance teams regularly
employ warrantless
GPS tracking to monitor the movements of
peaceful activists - even if they are not suspected of ever
committing a crime. The Obama administration is fighting
in court to keep this practice legal.
#9 According to FBI Director Robert Mueller, "homegrown
terrorists" represent as big a threat
to American national security as al-Qaeda does.
#10 Federal VIPR teams are establishing a
series of "internal checkpoints" all across the
United States. The following is how a recent article by
Paul Joseph Watson described these VIPR team activities....
The TSA has announced its intention to expand the VIPR program to include roadside inspections of commercial vehicles, setting up a network of internal checkpoints and rolling out security procedures already active in airports, bus terminals and subway stations to roads and highways across the United States.
By the way, who in the world decided that it would be a good
idea to call them "VIPR teams"?
What is next? Are we going to find out that the TSA has
hired Cobra Commander and Destro as consultants?
#11 Thousands of "dysfunctional"
families in the U.K. are
being subjected to intensive 24-hour surveillance
to make sure that their children attend school, go to bed on
time and eat proper meals.
#12 U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer says that
Amtrak should have a "no
ride list" similar to the "no
fly list" used at U.S. airports.
Before you can get on an airplane today, your name is checked
to make sure that it is not on any international watch lists.
So what do you have to do to get on an international watch
list?
Nobody really knows.
What is next?
A "no breathe list"?
#13 U.K. authorities are now admitting that
every phone call, text message, email and website visit made
by private citizens will be stored for one
year and will be available for monitoring by government
agencies.
#14 The amount of cell
phone surveillance that goes on is
absolutely staggering. For example, one German
politician named Malte Spitz recently went to court to force
Deutsche Telekom to reveal how often his cell phone was being
tracked. What he found out was absolutely amazing.
It turns out that in just one 6 month period, Deutsche Telekom
recorded the longitude and latitude coordinates of his cell
phone 35,000
times.
#15 DARPA has now developed new video
surveillance technology that many are warning will bring about
the end of public anonymity. The following is how the
ExtremeTech blog is describing this new
technology....
To be in public is to be on camera, but most video footage is discarded, as only so much can be sorted and analyzed -- until now. DARPA has created a technology that can index and analyze video in real-time, marking the end of anonymity in public places.
#16 In the U.K., it is now illegal
to photograph the police for any reason
whatsoever.
#17 Police in the U.K. have purchased
software that will enable them to easily follow the
"digital footprints" of virtually anyone. The
following is how one
recent news report in the U.K. described
this new software....
The Metropolitan Police has bought Geotime, a security programme used by the U.S. military which tracks suspects' movements and communications and displays them on a three-dimensional graphic.The software aggregates information gathered from social networking sites, GPS devices like the iPhone, mobile phones, financial transactions and IP network logs to build a detailed picture of an individual's movements.
#18 In Tacoma, Washington a seventh grade
student was
recently questioned by the Secret Service
about a message that he posted on his Facebook page.
Be very careful about what you put up on Facebook or Twitter.
The entire world can see it.
#19 According
to the ACLU, state police in Michigan are
using "extraction devices" to download data from the
cellphones of motorists that they pull over. This is
taking place even if those pulled over are not accused of
doing anything wrong.
The following is how an article on
CNET News describes the capabilities of
these "extraction devices"....
The devices, sold by a company called Cellebrite, can download text messages, photos, video, and even GPS data from most brands of cell phones. The handheld machines have various interfaces to work with different models and can even bypass security passwords and access some information.
#20 Last year, one
shocking poll found that 51 percent of
Americans agree with this statement: "It is necessary to
give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe
from terrorism."
#21 The MPAA and RIAA have submitted their
master plan for enforcing copyright rights to the new Office
of Intellectual Property Enforcement and
it includes installing spyware on everyone's computers
that would detect and delete any infringing materials.
#22 The U.K.'s new Internet law includes a
"three strikes" rule that
allows your entire family to be cut off from the Internet
if anyone who lives in your house is accused of copyright
infringement - without proof or evidence or trial.
#23 Would you like to have your face scanned
and your ID recorded every time you attend a public event?
Don't laugh. The San Francisco Entertainment Commission is
actually proposing a new rule which
"would require all venues with an occupancy of over 100
people to record the faces of all patrons and employees and
scan their ID’s for storage in a database which they must
hand over to law enforcement on request."
#24 Today, the U.S. government and
governments all over the industrialized world have become so
obsessed with reducing carbon emissions that now they even
tell us what
kinds of light bulbs we are allowed to
buy.
#25 The Obama administration is developing a
universal "Internet
ID" program that would watch, track,
monitor and potentially control your activity on the Internet.
These "trusted
identities" are being touted as a way
to increase safety and security on the Internet and as a way
to eliminate the need for dozens of different usernames and
passwords.
#26 As I have written about previously, the
"Internet
kill switch" is rapidly becoming one
of the favorite new tools of tyrannical governments all over
the globe....
Once upon a time, the Internet was a bastion of liberty and freedom, but now nation after nation is cracking down on it. In fact, legislation has been introduced once again in Congress that would give the president of the United States an "Internet kill switch" that he would be able to use in the event of war or emergency. Of course there would be a whole lot of wiggle room in determining what actually constitutes a true "emergency". The members of Congress that are pushing this "Internet kill switch" bill want the U.S. to become more like China in this regard.
#27 A
shocking document released by Wikileaks
proves that high level U.S. government officials have been
pushing for North American integration. According to the
document, some of the goals of this integration would be to
turn North America into an economic zone similar to the EU, to
have one common currency for the entire continent and to have
one common "security perimeter" for the entire
continent.
Let us hope that a plan like this never comes to pass.
#28 One of the most liberty-killing pieces of
legislation in recent years was the Patriot Act.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of Republicans and the vast
majority of Democrats will never vote against the renewal of
the Patriot Act because they don't want to look
"soft" on terrorism.
About the only U.S. Senator to stand up against the Patriot
Act is Rand Paul. He is doing all he can to
fight a one man battle against the Patriot Act
but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is doing his best to
extend the Patriot Act without
any debate taking place.
Top Democrats are attempting to claim that even debating the
renewal of Patriot Act provisions would "endanger"
national security.
Of course most Republicans are not going to stand in the way
because they absolutely love the Patriot Act.
If you still believe that the Patriot Act is a good idea, you
should watch this
video, and you should read this
recent article.
#29 If you display the wrong political
message on your car, you may find law enforcement officials
cracking down on you.
A 73-year-old Virginia resident was recently kicked out of a
national park for displaying a sticker promoting "Ron
Paul’s Campaign for Liberty" on his car.
The following is an excerpt from
a recent Rutherford Institute report about this incident....
The Rutherford Institute has come to the defense of a 73-year-old Virginia resident who was allegedly ordered by a park ranger to remove his car from a national military park in South Carolina because of political messages attached to his vehicle. Jack Faw, whose ancestors fought in the historic battle memorialized at Kings Mountain National Military Park, contacted The Rutherford Institute after being told by a park ranger that the decal promoting a political organization associated with Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), which was displayed on the back window of Faw's car, was not allowed in the park.
#30 Brutal crowd control techniques are not
just for major events anymore. Recently, riot police in
Illinois used tear
gas, LRAD sound weapons and crowd suppression tactics
against a bunch of college students that were just blowing off
some steam at a year-end block party at Western Illinois
University.
#31 The U.S. government is gathering more
information on all of us than ever before. According
to a recent article in the Baltimore Sun,
every six hours the volume of information that the NSA gathers
is equivalent to the entire Library of Congress.
Nobody is anonymous anymore. The truth is that the U.S.
government, governments across the globe and major
international corporations have more information about you
than you probably ever dared to imagine.
#32 If you think things are bad now, just
wait until you see what global authorities have planned for
the future.
Are you ready to live in a "Planned-opolis"?
Are you ready to use a "calorie card" and to have
what you eat determined by a "global food council"?
The following video was originally produced by the Forum for
the Future, a major NGO funded by big corporations such as
Time Warner and Royal Dutch Shell. In this video, the
Forum for the Future presents their chilling version of the
future....
If you don't want to live in a "Planned-opolis"
where everything you do is constantly watched, tracked and
controlled by a horde of bureaucrats then you better say
something now.
The entire globe is moving in the direction of
totalitarianism. Our world is literally becoming a
prison grid. Of course those in power say that we need
more regulation and more control "for the good of
humanity", but that has never worked out too well in the
past, now has it?
If you don't like the direction this world is headed then now
is the time to stand up and let your voice be heard. If
you wait until they are ripping the last shreds of liberty and
freedom away from you it will be too late.
