Since we have nothing to hide there is not a big rush to get the job done, but it will get done, and if the surveillance gets more aggressive I'll change my priorities.
One thing I can do is detect the language of a post and kick off anything that is not in English along with the post author. Surveillance by itself would not be so bad, but give a man in black an inch, and the motherfuckers will take a mile, as they have before. The 'we are not doing anything wrong so why worry' misses that point completely. Unchecked power corrupts, and people will be the boss of you if they can.
And as far as you are concerned, you should know better than to deny my lived experience again. Perhaps you were not aware that I had met them face to face and have talked to them. I keep quiet about it knowing that nobody else is going to give a rip, but that does not change the fact that it happened.
QuoteThe sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
Which is exactly what will happen if the actual reality and details of American Freedom are laid out before the average Joe Six Pack. It happened to me, and I went mad with the revelation for a little while. I found out America does not drive your daddy's Oldsmobile like you may think America does. Not like you learned in school. No illusion of fair. The actual truth is more like what the Supreme Court is showing to America now. The Powell memo 2.0.
Not giving a rip is much more peaceful. The safe default that everyone takes rich and poor alike.
RE and I have not called this the F.S.O.A. for several years without reason.
