Final goal of the Surveillance State<\/span><\/p>\n

Surveillance is coming at us from all angles. Chips, drones, TSA checkpoints, smart meters, back-doored electronic products, video cameras, spying home appliances; our phone calls and emails and keystrokes and product purchases are recorded.<\/span><\/p>\n

The government and its allied corporations will know whatever they want to know about us.<\/span><\/p>\n

What then?<\/span><\/p>\n

What happens when all nations are blanketed from stem to stern with surveillance?<\/span><\/p>\n

Public utilities, acting on government orders, will be able to allot electricity in amounts and at times it wishes to. This is leading to an overarching plan for energy distribution to the entire population. <\/span><\/p>\n

Claiming shortages and limited options, governments will essentially be redistributing wealth, in the form of energy, under a collectivist model.<\/span><\/p>\n

National health insurance plans (such as Obamacare) offer another clue. Such plans have no logistical chance of operating unless every citizen is assigned a medical ID package, which is a de facto identity card. In the medical arena, this means cradle-to-grave tracking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surveillance inevitably leads to: placing every individual under systems of control. It isn’t just \u201cwe’re watching you\u201d or \u201cwe’re stamping out dissent.\u201d It’s \u201cwe’re directing your participation in life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As a security analyst in the private sector once told me, \u201cWhen you can see what every employee is doing, when you have it all at your fingertips, you naturally move on to thinking about how you can control those patterns and flows of movement and activity. It’s irresistible. You look at your employees as pieces on a board. The only question is, what game do you want to play with them?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Every such apparatus is ruled, from the top, by Central Planners. When it’s an entire nation, upper-echelon technocrats revel in the idea of blueprinting, mapping, charting, and regulating the flows of all goods and services and people, \u201cfor the common good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Water, food, medicine, land use, transportation—they all become items of a networked system that chooses who gets what and when, and who can travel where, and under what conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the wet dream of technocrats. They believe they are saving the world, while playing a fascinating game of multidimensional chess.<\/span><\/p>\n

As new technologies are discovered and come on line, the planners decide how they will be utilized and for whose benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to implement such a far-reaching objective, with minimal resistance from the global population, manufactured crises are unleashed which persuade the masses that the planet is under threat and needs \u201cthe wise ones\u201d to rescue it and us.<\/span><\/p>\n

We watch (and fight in) wars and more wars, each one exacerbated and even invented. We are presented with phony epidemics that are falsely promoted as scourges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only response, we are led to believe, is more humane control over the population.<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of that, we are fed an unending stream of propaganda aimed at convincing us that \u201cthe great good for the greatest number\u201d is the only humane and acceptable principle of existence. All prior systems of belief are outmoded. We know better now. We must be good and kind and generous to everyone at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under this quasi-religious banner, which has great emotional appeal, appears The Plan. Our leaders allocate and withhold on the basis of their greater knowledge. We comply. We willingly comply, because we are enlisted in a universal army of altruistic concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a classic bait and switch. We are taught to believe that service for the greater good is an unchallengeable goal and credo. And then, later, we find out it has been hijacked to institute more power over us, in every way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The coordinated and networked surveillance of Earth and its people is fed into algorithms that spit out solutions. This much food will go here; that much water will go there; here there will be medical care; there medical care will be severely rationed. These people will be permitted to travel. Those people will be confined to their cities and towns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every essential of life—managed with on-off switches, and the consequences will play out.<\/span><\/p>\n

An incredibly complex system of interlocking decisions will be hailed as messianic. <\/span><\/p>\n

Surveillance; planning; control.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

It isn’t ours. It never was. But we are not consulted. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"Exit<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Instead we are made witness to watershed events: the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing; the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center; the 2001 assault on the Trade Center and the Pentagon. These ops paralleled the unleashing of better and more far-ranging methods of surveillance.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are profiled down to the threads on our clothing and DNA in our cells. But what is <\/span>our<\/i><\/span> profile of the technocrats and their bosses?<\/span><\/p>\n

They are divorced from human life. They live in a vacuum. They take pleasure from that vacuum. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 1982, I interviewed Bill Perry, who had just left his job as PR chief at Lawrence Livermore Labs, where scientists design nuclear weapons. Perry had been given the kind of job PR people long for. But one day, when he passed the desk of a researcher and listened to his complaints about budget limitations, Perry said, \u201cListen, America already has the means to blow up the whole planet eight times. What more do you need?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The researcher looked up at him with a genuinely puzzled expression. He said, \u201cYou don’t understand, Bill. This is a problem in physics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same detached sense, the technocrats who want to calculate and direct our future, move by move, minute by minute, see us as components of a complex and very interesting problem. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, they indeed expect to exercise power and control. But they also live in an abstraction. They deal their answers from that realm. They exercise cool passion. They see, for example, that not every single twitch of thought of every person on earth is yet mapped, so they want to finish constructing the means by which they can chart those \u201cmissing elements.\u201d They want to complete the formula.<\/span><\/p>\n

They view their research as a wholly natural implication of the mathematics they can manipulate. They swim in technology and they want to extend its architecture. To abandon the program would be tantamount to denying their own intelligence. They climb the mountain because it is there.<\/span><\/p>\n

They do perceive that one factor does not fit their algorithms: the free individual. It’s the wild card. Therefore, they are compelled to analyze freedom and break it down into DNA functions and brain processes. They assume, because they must, that the free individual is an illusory idea that flows from some older configuration of synaptic transmission, at a time in our evolution when we needed it. But now, they suppose, the engineering of human activity and thought has superseded such quaint notions. Now we all can be tracked, traced, and studied on a different and wider scale. Now we can be seen for what we really are: a hive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, we must be instructed, within tight limits, about our various functions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s technocrats flourish with great optimism as they design the future world and its single society. If they run out of pieces of their puzzle to study, they’ll try to track the motion of every atom and electron and quark in the universe. They’ll delight in it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing all this, we know the terms of the war we are in.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Central Planners have an equation: \u201cfree=uncontrolled=dangerous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

By the gross terms of that equation, they lump us in with thugs and murderers and terrorists. They even see the normal functioning of the brain as a threat, as an intrinsically defective process, and they have long since decided that organ must be corrected with drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

We, on the other hand, must assert, in every way possible, that freedom is real and inviolable, and we must back that up with our actions. <\/span><\/p>\n
