The Austin Bomber : A Case Study of [Illegal] Surveillance by the Deep State

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

Some may argue that the ends justify the means. The police were able to stop Mark Conditt from setting up another bombing with their cell phone tracking intelligence.

Personally, I don’t walk around with a cell phone. I leave mine at home most of the time. Those that don’t want to be tracked can become homeless, live in the wilderness, or live in a foreign country.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

This includes you as you are fine with massive Military spending and never ending war not in your country’s interest.

One more thing – they need a catalyst – something big like a stock market crash or war with North Korea or a really big riot to make it happen. Watch for these.

War with Iran/Russia is my guess. U.S. still hasn’t left Syria after Trumps “Get ISIS and get out” nonsense…

The sad thing is, I work in an industry where everybody believes the Internet of Things is great. I’ve even been told that people feel safer knowing that “Big Brother” is watching them all the time. It’s like Aldous Huxley said “The people can be made to love their slavery.” It’s happened, Snowden blew the whistle and no one cared.

They already have implantable chips ready to go, they just need to sell it to the public. This is our future.

Get ready for the Great Eye of Sauron…

Well, the technology itself is great, it’s who got the control over it, and can we trust that one is the problem.

So far I wouldn’t worry about it as far as they don’t ban any devices that can produce jamming for all that tech; they are rather simple to construct. But when dat happens… run for the woods.

The problem I see that those measures will stop something simple and will hamper ordinary civilian privacy, but won’t be a really serious problem for experienced criminal. I remember chemical weapons banned for similiar reasons.

Although you can make it backfire nicely, by tracking/observing police officers and government buidings by increased number of inet webcams. SJW would happily pick up idea of “public control” over “possibly corrupt” government officials.

And the deciding factor in the surveillance game is: ratio of number of watching-analytics personnel to the number of people needed to be watched.

Hmm… The odds are definitely on the side of general populace 🙂 🙂 🙂

More than one side can play this game 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
