53. You Know, I've heard people say....
"The pre-WWII Germans didn't have the monitoring tools we have today, they weren't as vigilant becaus they didn't have these 'new information gathering methods'."

But I contend that they were... and that, although not as technologically advanced, that they had all available and necessary methods at their disposal.

The issue is therefore parity.

WE have the internet.

So do all the 'conservatives' who have bought the party line. (call them what you will)

We have the understanding.

So do those who are trying to subvert and deflect that understanding.

The tools have evolved, the ideas have evolved... on BOTH 'sides'.

But the techniques remain the same.

Make no mistake - the government who first adapts a means of tracking all financial transactions through 'bio-informatics' will have embraced one of the greatest 'control' technologies ever...

"But that could never happen in America."

We have the toys... they have the tools.
