Dear Friends,
Is it just me or are the questions facing us getting more and more scary? We don’t live under the threat of immediate nuclear annihilation anymore but due to the ineptitude or complicity of our Elite we may again soon. It is the overreaching of our government under the last few administrations, that has been accelerated under Obama, that has me rattled the most. What the government seeks to do will inevitably result in a tyranny. Powers are being discussed that would make the founders scream in anger and our children ask us… why.
While it is unwarranted to monitor someone talking to a known terrorist in another country it is fine to monitor mom and sis talking about a personal pie recipe. The laws the US government are passing and trying to get through the Supreme Court turn logic on it‘s head. There is no level of government intrusion or monitoring that is unacceptable today. Unless it is of a foreign terrorist… they have rights.
Total control of all media at the flip of a switch to disseminate information in a national emergency has implications. This new “test” of the emergency broadcast network is curious. It will give the US government the ability to cut off all communication for as long as they want. There are legal limitations but not technical. This ability is unprecedented. Now the government will be able to shut off all US media at the flip of a switch if there is a real emergency or just one the Elite don’t want us to know about…
Phones and internet are the next target under the guise of national emergency notification. The government has announced that it wants to be able to seize control of all phone traffic and the internet too. This, coupled with total control of all media, (during a national emergency) would give any coup attempt, the opportunity to keep the people in the dark, until the collaborators were safely ensconced. Then they could turn on the radios and tvs again and announce the new order.
Random GPS monitoring of citizens cell phones at governments whim. This would be a huge undertaking even in a limited form. But the ability to monitor every one of us and have the government know where we go and what we do on a daily basis would yield up wonderful benefits. Government would be able to track known dissidents to their collaborators. Government would be able to track gatherings of people possibly engaging in counter revolutionary activities. It would cost a lot though. I wonder, with the pressing need to cut government spending how on Earth will government be able to monitor all of us? I guess it’s just a matter of priorities.
The US government is intent on keeping the flow of illegal immigrants at an all time high. A large population of underclass is always helpful to would be tyrants. They are perennially angry, often have communist sympathies and are ignorant by definition. A large angry underclass has always been the pawn of the socialist. They do the hard work and remain underclass even after the revolution. If they are lucky.
The health care law is nothing but government intrusion into the lives of it’s citizens. Nothing is more intrusive than our personal healthcare information. The law seeks to change our behavior in subtle and not so subtle ways. The law intrudes into every one of our lives and gives the government the right to even more. If the government is footing the bill, why can’t it have a date certain, that after it will not cover anything. Say the same age as social security starts? Of course some like the idea of healthcare being meted out by political merit. That slope is the glarest of ice.
Not to mention the unconstitutional aspects of Obama care. The Supreme Court will be testing that slope to see if it passes Constitutional muster. The mandatory buying of insurance is what is going before them. Forcing American citizens to buy a product as a requirement of citizenship else pay a fine, is as slippery a slope as you will find, but soon we may realize we are on it.
These are by no means all the slippery slopes our enlightened lawmakers are trying to get us on. The list is almost endless. But the founding Fathers warned us that this would happen. They knew the congenital nature of Man. They tried their hardest to give us a system that would protect us from the Elite for as long as possible. Seems now is the time for us to open our eyes and use it. Loosing our liberty because we are too lazy to do something about it is pathetic. But that is what the Elite hope we will do… Nothing.
