Big Brother Is Here

Just what exactly does Congress do? Apparently the same thing the Supreme Court does, roll over on substantive issues. The question is why?
This writer is not alone. Rush Limbaugh discussed the above issue in his radio show and here is the link:
It's Too Weird: What Explains the Behavior of the Republican Leadership?
These developments do not bode well for the citizenry. America is no longer a Republic with a Constitution and a Bill Of Rights. As shown in the following articles, We The People have, in essence, been declared enemies of the state by the elites who have gradually managed to take control.
To "save us from ourselves", the Authorities have many ways at their disposal in which to neutralized us should they choose to do so either gradually or during a manufactured crisis that would require martial law.

Wesley Clark on 'Radicalized' Americans: Let's 'Segregate Them from the Normal Community'
The conventional wisdom in Washington right now says the government should fight terrorism by targeting "radicalization." That is the theory behind the Justice Department's pilot programs to combat "violent extremism." It is the theory behind Rep. Michael McCaul's proposed Countering Violent Extremism Act. And it is the theory behind the following revolting remarks by retired general Wesley Clark:
Here's the heart of Clark's comments:
...on a national policy level, we need to look at what self-radicalization means. Because we are at war with this group of terrorists. They do have an ideology. In World War II, if someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the United States, we didn't say that was freedom of speech. We put him in a camp. They were prisoners of war. So if these people are radicalized and they don't support the United States and they're disloyal to the United States, as a matter of principle, fine, that's their right. It's our right and obligation to segregate them from the normal community for the duration of the conflict.
Needless to say, "the conflict"—be it with radical Muslims, the radical right, radical animal-rights activists, or anyone else feared by a substantial slice of Washington—has no clear end. So the general is basically calling for indefinite internment. And not just of violent people, but of anyone who has been "radicalized."
There are many good reasons to reject the "radicalization" framework for stopping terrorism, including the fact that it probably doesn't even work. (For more on that, go here and here.) But the worst thing about it is that it feeds the contempt for civil liberties that fuels batty proposals like Clark's.

We all know about foreign cyber attacks, but in view of the above, is it logical to assume that our own government is not spying on us?
Cyber theft no longer restricted to economic spying
No. 1, from an intelligence perspective, [personal data] gives you great insight to potentially use for counterintelligence purposes,” Rogers said during remarks to the Aspen Security Forum July 23.
“So for example if I’m interested in trying to identify U.S. persons who may be in my country and I’m trying to figure out why are they there … are they just tourists, are they there for some other alternative … there are some interesting insights you can draw from the kind of data you were able to take from OPM,” he said.
Additionally, nation states and criminal groups are gathering up vast amounts of data and analyzing it to identify “insights about people as individuals,” Rogers said....
Rogers was asked why the Obama administration has not named China as the state hackers behind the OPM attack when in the case of the Sony Pictures Entertainment cyber attack last year, North Korea was blamed publicly by the president.
The commander declined to discuss specifics of internal administration discussions on the OPM cyber attacks.
“But I would acknowledge that to date, the response to OPM, there’s a thought process, and I’m the first to acknowledge to date, we have take a different approach.” read more

The psyop to neuter The Rebel
If you want to track a civilization as it collapses, watch what happens to the concept of the rebel.
On a profound level, mass shootings and assassinations (whether staged or not) are used to define the ever-present “lone assassin” as the REPRESENTATION AND THE SYMBOL OF WHAT THE INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUAL IS.
You’re a separate and distinct individual? An outsider? Watch out. Overnight, you could turn into a raging killer.
You happen to know an outsider, a loner? He’s dangerous. He doesn’t live by the rules the rest of us accept. He’s deranged. Stay away from him. Shun him. And if you see the slightest indication of (insert your own term here), report him to the authorities.

A Tool To Easily Track "Threats To The System":
Facial recognition quietly taking hold
Facial recognition technology is becoming one of the nation’s great unknowns.
There are no laws that expressly regulate the software, nor is there data available on how much it is being used by American businesses to track customers and collect data.
As the technology advances, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is renewing its call for Congress to strengthen consumer privacy laws.
“The privacy issues stakeholders have raised about facial recognition technology and other biometric technologies serve as yet another example of the need to adapt federal privacy law to reflect new technologies,” the GAO said.

Using the mental health system as a means of social control:
America Under a Psychopolitical Assault
Transfer some of the powers of arrest from police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand. (Communist goal number 38)
In a previous article concerning the art of psychopolitics, I discussed the overall goal of communists to label those opposing their objectives as being mentally ill. I discussed the communists overall attitude towards mankind and demonstrated that they hold very little regard for man as they believe that we are merely animals in need of management. I attempted to compare the words and brainwashing tactics of Anton Berea, (author of the book on Psychopolitics) to the real world, culture-changing events we have been witnessing in our nation for the past several decades. It would be difficult to argue, after reading the words of this former KGB operative, that communists have not made great progress in changing the cultural makeup of our country. We have lost our rights to religious liberty, freedom has become something that is motivated by selfishness and greed, life virtually has no value, as skirting personal responsibility trumps the rights of the newly conceived, and every day we are constantly bombarded by lies in an attempt to change our perception. Let’s not forget, Joseph Goebbels taught that a lie repeated often enough would eventually be accepted as truth.

Surrendering to the collective and false science:
Technocracy and the scientific matrix
The creative power of the individual is downplayed or even viewed as 'injuring the group.' This is no accident. The whole basis of a controlled society depends on people seeing themselves as powerless and surrendering to 'the needs of the collective.' This amounts to a political religion---but these days, it's ridiculously dressed up as Science, as if collectivism were a series of formulas derived from physics and biology." (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
As my readers know, I write a great about imagination, the individual, and independent thought.
Some might think these "issues" are peripheral to the elite takeover of the planet, but in fact they are central.
Let's start here. As author Patrick Wood makes clear, technocracy is really all about establishing a scientific dictatorship. As he also points out, the dictatorship is based on false science.

Corrupting science Stalinist style:
TECHNOCRACY: A SCIENTIFIC DICTATORSHIP
We have always said that Science is a two-edged blade, i.e. it can be used to cut off ignorance or sever the head altogether.
When Science is used for the good of the people, progress is assured, but when it falls into the wrong hands, the rest will suffer.
We have first known about the systematic use of Science for our assured enslavement through the document “Silent Weapons for Quite Wars” [here]. That is a must read for everyone seeking knowledge of the very details of the weapons used to systematically turn all of us into satisfied slaves.
Who would have realized that electrical engineering theories can be used just the same in the world of Banking and Finance, and worse, Social Engineering in general?
But they did and are still doing it even today.

CONVERGING ON TECHNO-FEUDALISM
[Author’s note: my book Four Cardinal Errors (2011) introduced the idea of echnofeudalism. I chose this term for the political economy towards which an intergenerational superelite has been directing much of the world for over a century. While preserving some of the vocabulary and outward features of market capitalism, technofeudalism is about social control. Its tools include artificial scarcity, the destruction of education, and fear induction, reducing common people to the status of permanently cash-strapped, mentally paralyzed subjects — living with the world’s most advanced technology but equivalent to serfs. Hence the term technofeudalism. There is reason to believe the effort will not succeed in the long run. But the attempt has already done colossal damage, and will do more as it slowly destabilizes. This is something we can only prepare for as best we can, starting by minimizing contact with organizations the superelite controls, while building skills to meet our own needs.] ...A recent study in a refereed academic journal has concluded openly that the U.S. has the features of an oligarchy, not a democracy or a republic. Aplutocracy, in fact: government by the rich, operating through financial leviathans such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. The liberal democracy lauded as triumphant back in the early 1990s is dead. And what we saw as market capitalism is really a circumscribing corporatism
Technofeudalism is not merely a path the world is on. It is nearly in place. Its instruments include neoliberal ideology, “free trade” agreements providing favors to corporations, education as job skills training with liberal arts learning neutralized or destroyed, and the creation of a precarious global workforce. Sadly, this includes countries such as Chile, corporatized during the Pinochet dictatorship by the “Chicago Boys” (disciples of pivotal neoliberal economist Milton Friedman) and where, despite “democratization” in the 1990s and continued economic development since, a severe wage gap has persisted. Chile is a partner to the latest potentially disastrous trade deal: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
No one knows for sure what is in the TPP outside its corporate-sponsored authors and a few in Congress who have been allowed read it without being allowed to copy or even take notes on it. The latter were threatened with criminal prosecution if they revealed its contents to the public! These are members of the U.S. Congress we are talking about, not journalists!

For those who see the unfolding events in terms of prophecy,
there are many facets to this article:
BABYLON CODE, ANDROID SOLIDERS & THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL NATURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
In 1942, Isaac Asimov, the great science fiction author who wrote I-Robot and other books, developed the Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
But already there are concerns from some of the world’s leading scientists that the planned killer robots, androids, and cyborgs will not have safeguards that will prevent them from deciding to kill human beings. In addition, as futurist Ray Kurzweil and others are suggesting, a “Singularity” is coming when machines with AI will surpass Mankind in intelligence and capability in the relatively near future. A soulless and self-evolving robot, android or cyborg using Artificial Intelligence will not be limited by moral absolutes such as right and wrong. Why should it? Its programmers, typical modern people, long ago rejected any moral accountability by rejecting things like the Ten Commandments and embracing the prime directives of Darwinian evolution: “survival of the fittest” and “might makes right.”
If brute Darwinian force is the moral operating principle of contemporary Man, and it is, then intelligent machines using AI will operate on a purely Darwinian level. It will be impossible to program them to act with any restraint towards killing or subjugating human beings because even if such restraint was programmed into the machines they would quickly find a way to transcend their programming.
There is much more to this essay.
Massive Social Control will be achieved by much more subtle and sophisticated means than in the past, or the occasional present (i.e.ISIS).

Firstly, the newer methods involve early childhood indoctrination. When the brainwashed younger generation comes of age, complete control of the family, education, religious, economic, and political institutions will be possible within the technocracy. Are We there yet? If not, we are well on the way.
Sadly, as long as the "Authorities" provide a modicum of economic, social, and political stability, along with sufficient bread and circuses, the masses will have no concept as to the full extent of their enslavement.

The reader may or may not agree with all of the above, but make no mistake, The Highway To Hell is a reality disguised as a tree lined beautiful country road lined with goody stands until the gates are near. By the time they are fully in focus, it will be too late. Not only will the gates be unrecognizable as to what they truly are, but I fear that the masses will be all too happy to pass through them and accept their chains which are being disguised as gifts, privileges, and everlasting love, peace and security.

I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Well don't go around tonight,

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
