Police state USA and Big Brother's most cool tool
Police state USA and Big Brother's most cool tool

By Amy Worthington

03/01/06 "Idaho Observer" -- -- Senate Minority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) calls this Congress the "most corrupt" in history.1 U.S. Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) often uses the term "police state" to describe our national state of affairs. George Bush is making the most expansive claims to unbridled power since America’s War for Independence, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT).2 Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who proved Bush lied to launch us into war with Iraq, says "fascist forces have seized control of the levers of power."3 Americans are being told that their Republic has become a fascist police state—they just need ears to hear.

In a fascist police state, the dictator secures his power with support from private corporations which are given special privileges and, thus, benefit from doing business with dictators. Continuously bribed by 28,000 corporate lobbyists in D.C.,4 Congress is doing its part to build a fascist state in America. During President Bush’s recent State of the Union speech, these tainted legislators perpetually rose to their feet to applaud the spewing of what a New York Times editorial called "misleading analogies, propaganda slogans and false choices."5 Their bootlicking recalls a by-gone Soviet era when endless rows of robotic Central Party members applauded the likes of Stalin to ensure their next breath of oxygen.

As injectable ID chips come on line, Homeland Security is paying numerous corporations to develop a national network of object-mounted wireless sensors that will be able to read implanted human chips.93 This network of sensors will eventually relay information on the whereabouts and activities of implantees to teams of surveillance specialists. Conceivably, every wall socket could become a reader for implanted chips. To quote University of Kansas professor Jerry Dobson, these devices will ultimately offer "a new form of human slavery based on location control. They pose the greatest threat to personal freedom ever faced in human history."

Digital Angel: Fascist Big Brother’s most cool tool

Passive ID subdermal chips are the "good news" compared to grotesque ACTIVE implant chips also developed by ADS. The implantable Digital Angel is a grotesque communication device that can continually relay information wirelessly to either ground stations or to satellite systems.96 Developed to be a true tracking chip like the bulky radio ankle bracelets locked onto prisoners, it is tiny enough to be implanted into human flesh. The Angel has a built-in GPS receiver and a wireless transceiver. In December, 2004, ADS signed an agreement with the satellite telecommunications company ORBCOMM. Such collusion will one day turn implanted citizens into walking radio beacons, trackable by satellite.

Digital Angel is the ultimate in totalitarian control, to date Big Fascist Brother’s most "cool tool."

5. That will be a big point to be made by supporters of this.
You can see it now when they discuss the illegal wiretapping that is taking place now.

10. Every time someone repeats this line to me I reply with..........
....you're right if I'm not doing anything wrong I won't have anything to worry about EXCEPT the violation of my rights. I'm an American and the last time I checked there was a Constitution that said I can not be spied on without good cause and without a court order. So while I'm protecting my rights I will also do you the favor of protecting your rights as well. Shuts them up every time.:toast: :bounce: :hi:

6. Powered By What?
A GPS receiver comsumes power. A transmitter capable of satellite communications takes even more power.
Such a device would have to be surgically removed/replaced frequently for battery replacement.

Probably only feasable for someone who is working undercover.

Satellite communication is not generally effective indoors, or in heavily forested areas.
It won't work inside a vehicle unless the "antenna" is near a window.

Anyway, it's much easier to track us by our cellphones. Yes, we can turn them off or leave them behind, but who does?

7. RFIDs can be Defeated Easily
Depending on where it is, you may need a :tinfoilhat:
or perhaps just a well-placed bracelet.

Find and remove any that are on clothing that you buy, of course.
It would be too easy for them to scan for that and then go back
through their databases to find out who bought the jacket bearing
that RFID.

It would be far more likely, and far more insidious, for them to
track us by the stuff we buy (which is something the commercial
establishment is set up to do already). It is reported that Walmart
puts RFIDs on its merchandise. People who buy their clothing at
Walmart could be identified by anyone with a scanner and access to
Walmart's database.

If they inject an RFID into your body, you know where it is,
and the things are trivial to defeat if you know where they are.
