You can't say bomb in an airport!

Bomb.. bomb bomb bomb de bomb didy bomb de bomb

Back during the hysteria fostered by the Cheney/Bush administration and the adoption of the Patriot Act, I seem to recall there was a member of Congress so ired by the Administration's efforts to comb through every email, phone call, etc. to find even a hint of forbidden words, he sent an email to all the other members of Congress (Senate and House), top Administration officials, and other key players containing those words in very innocuous usage just to see if the recipients would fall prey to the "guardians". I never did hear of the result of this experiment, but I'm pretty sure no one wound up in Gitmo (although they might have been invited to go hunting with Cheney)...

...

I've never done anything wrong. Honest. :yep:



(If that was a reference from a movie, Platapus, I think it sailed clear over my head. :haha:)

It wasn't from a movie. It's what government types and their supporters always say when they want to make another intrusive law.

Hench why only my friends know who i am on facebook(Fake name) and my page has VERY basic information on it

Never had a social networking site with my real name on it

How high is the (back then) invented "threat level" in the US right now ?
Red ? Yellow ? Checkered brown with diarrhea yellow ?
I mean we are talking about serious Bull$hit here.

All as a justificatiomn, or better pretext, to know all you say, write and think ?
All under the smokescreen of "democracy" and "defending" against terrorist attacks.
Really, you know what ? (In best George Carlin Voice)
I am not afraid of terrorist attacks AT ALL ! AT ALL ! AT ALL !

You know what ? Life itself is dangerous, nobody gets out of here alive.
I really should not go out anymore, the risk to die on the street is a billion times higher than a terrorist "attack". Wasn't that called an assassination not so long ago ? But of course you need an organisation, a war and warlike doubletalk for justification.

Of course, there are also those "social networks", from Xing to Stepstone to Facebook to whatnot. Organisations vieweing info about persons that show up here and there gather this kind of information (called "scraping"), and can already put up a pretty good profile. Add the info of the articles posted above, and they know almost all of your habits, preferences, financial status and ideas. And i mean ALL.
A good side income is selling this to companies, like banks. But whoever is interested and pays, gets it.

So you looked for a used car in Google or a bank credit ? Some weeks later you go to some bank, but "Sorry Sir, it seems you do not provide enough financial security."
"But i have a job and want to buy a new car !"
"No Sir, according to our information you are a liar, we have already called the police to deal with you."

This must be the wet dream of the secret services.


We are living in a post-capitalist time, it is all about corporalism now, and you have no rights. "It is called the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe it".
It is not about the US alone though, if you look close to what is happening in the EU.
