Be A Rebel For Truth

The village is big government and the elite class trying to destroy the individual and his civil rights by every means possible; making up laws and deliberate scenarios so that he accepts false truths and assigned a number for ID, where he can be watched, controlled, and live a happy existence of unimportance, as long as he does not rock the boat by seeking justice and truth - T.S.Garp

The End of Innocence

The Founding Fathers of America were well aware of the dangers of living under a government dictatorship. They firmly established clear written declarations (Articles) and created an abiding United States Constitution that is Supreme Law and the Bill of Rights. Especially, the 5th Amendment which is part of the Bill of Rights protects against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure.

However, over the last 200 years the predictions of a Big Brother government spying on their own citizens has come true to the point of paranoia. Currently, world news is reporting the NSA debacle with the former NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden stating to American citizens and the world that the NSA and their Terrorist Surveillance Program is not only worldwide, but on all American citizens illegally. Last year, another NSA Whistleblower William Binney in 2012 had warned about “pervasive domestic spying” by the NSA including unlawful surveillance of American citizens who are non-terrorist on American soil.

What’s next? Robotic Drones in some odd future world routinely patrolling the US boarders and flying over local cities to hunt down (undesirable) Americans and using AI (ED-209s) to deal with them unceremoniously without any trail or due process. Slowly, even Freedom of Speech will become obsolete as we move into a Police State where perhaps (with a nod to Ray Bradbury) even reading books will be against the Law.

Later, a form of Thought Police would take over to monitor all into state of compliancy under the New Rule. This is all of course speculation. But even Captain Kirk recognized the danger of any individual who obtains ultimate power and abusing it by quoting Lord Acton, British historian in 1887 who said, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Wake up everyone. Peace is Freedom. Freedom is Peace. Let’s keep it that way. Mindless displays of destructive power is not. 

Big Brother Strikes Again

The topic of today is from the latest’s news broadcast. City Lights are now listening to your every conversation. Street lights with cameras are watching your every move. We have been stepping into that once sci-fi far future of robots and stories of eerie constant surveillance by forces like Big Brother in a dark and sad world. As we enter into the half-way mark of the year 2012 the times are transforming right before our eyes into an unknown future. There is a reasonable stigma inherited with the year 2012. Many people fear its coming and others think nothing of it. But understandably there is reason to be concern, as there is a global anxiety upon us with hot topics like the terrible economy, rising taxes, rising cost of food, wars continuing around the world, poverty, personal freedoms slowly being taken away, and displays of inhumanity to others is ramped. Our technology is growing at a phenomenal rate and working a bit like magic. As our technology continues to improve I can only hope our wisdom is also exemplified enough to control it. But the real scary part is how subversive the mere premise of what Big Brother can do, will do, and has been doing for a very long time now. At first Big Brothers started out quite benignly with objectives to protect the country, the society, and the common citizens from harm. They established set protocols to conduct operations to provide the best protection, intelligence gathering, and countermeasures to keep the country safe especially during a time of war, this gave them the autonomy to the exploit the Will, the Power, and the Reasons for doing the things the right way and with justice in mind, but something happened along the way.... The new revamped National Security laws operate exclusively without citizen’s approval and their objective seems to be to subdue and contain. Their new objectives are to control the masses abroad and on the homeland, during war and in peace time. For your protection, they say, but this is just another form of control. Citizens have no say in the matter of these instant new "control methods" implemented for your safety and are just plane creepy. The unthinkable and the unjust are happening all around us. Your civil rights are slowly disappearing and the robotic police state is gaining control to contain everyone, good or bad. What's next? Talking walls? (We have talking cars already!) Walls with ears in public areas and placed inside any building or home unknown to the citizens who goes there? With fleets of personnel who will be monitoring your every move, every word, action, and soon your very own thoughts will be examined remotely..... Heaven help those who think too much or talk too much, who have a will of their own, who like making jokes or harmless jest, who have opinions that differ from The Powers That Be, and those dark forces listening in to find something of trouble.....I'm hoping for the day when the future is going to be much better than where we are headed. Everyday, the George Orwell book called "1984" about a drab totalitarian world controlled by Big Brother is slowly coming true. Let's not make that future happen. For all the world's countries can do much better than that if they really push for peace.
