If you doubt this, read this article, which was very eye opening for me: http://www.claremont.org/publications/crb/id.1588/article_detail.asp
Some of the most prominent “ethical” thinkers–including some of Obama’s Czars–seem only able to justify the very existence of the human race with difficulty. This is not paranoia: this is the content of their thinking, and these people hold the highest posts in the best universities, and HAVE INFLUENCE. Certainly, granted the existence of the human race, they want it tightly controlled, since we are supposedly using all the resources of the planet. This argument, of course, is as old as Malthus, and amounts to the argument that increasing wealth will cause decreasing wealth. It ignores the role of price in resource allocation (this is a common, perhaps definitive, failing of socialists).
Anyway, some years ago Aaron Russo, who was quite active in the entertainment business, claimed that he had been told by his then-friend Nicholas Rockefeller that the plan was to imbed all Americans with RFID chips, and turn them off (cut them off: imagine that your credit card is in your chip; you can walk into the store and out with whatever you want and have it automatically tallied; that technology exists today) if they misbehave.
Here is a website which promotes his movie, Freedom to Fascism (which I have not watched, but likely should): http://freedomtofascism.com/
Anyway, all of this came back to me when I read this story: ww.mysanantonio.com/news/education/article/Students-will-be-tracked-via-chips-in-IDs-3584339.php#ixzz1vsssNfl7
The net is that a high school is going to use RFID chips in high school students ID cards, to keep track of them.
Let us imagine would-be totalitarians as pedophiles. I don’t think the psychological dynamics are all that different, with clinical narcissism up to and including full blown sociopathy being common. What do pedophiles do? They “groom” their targets. They start with small inappropriate things, then act as if the intended victim is misbehaving if they object. They continue to violate boundaries, until the victim loses a sense of self, and the ability to object, even though they don’t like what is going on.
We all know you start with the kids if you want to build a different society. We all know the society being built today in most schools is not a good one. But the one being proposed here is one in which kids are being groomed to be monitored 24/7–for their “safety” of course (even though there has likely not been one act of violence on any of them in some time; or at least one that could have been prevented with a chip).
As I have argued, I believe the TSA sexually molesting everyone from kids to grandmothers unable to walk is a part of this grooming process. I believe their VIPR patrols, which in a categorically unConstitutional fashion claim to be able to stop, detain, AND SEARCH anyone traveling on public transportation ANYWHERE. This is not just a clear violation of the Federal and State functions, but a violation of the Fourth Amendment. CLEARLY. There is NO ambiguity here. This is EXACTLY what the Bill of Rights was intended to protect us from.
And on that note, it is interesting that less than two weeks or so after Rand Paul announced plans to work to end the TSA the CIA “found” a double agent–who knows who he actually works for–with a better underwear bomb, so now the TSA can say “look, we are really protecting you.” Bullshit.
There are some 650 million people who travel on a commercial jetliner annually. Since Sept. 11, 2001, how many have died in terrorist attacks? Not one. How many credible attempts have there been? In my view, not one, since neither the shoe bomber nor the underwear bomber had, in my estimation, bombs that could have taken down an aircraft.
So let’s multiply that out. Between 9/11/01 and for simplicities sake let’s say 9/11/09, which is roughly when the Obama Administration decided to start doing the nutsack and vagina searches, there were 5.2 BILLION individual flights. Not one death.
Look at this list of causes of accidental deaths: http://listosaur.com/miscellaneous/top-5-causes-of-accidental-death-in-the-united-states.html
In the same time period choking killed some 20,000 people, fire killed some 21,000 people. Falls killed 200,000 people. Poisoning (including drug overdose), killed 310,000 people. And car accidents killed 336,000 people.
How do we compare the risk of terror attack with these other risks? We can’t. The risk is not statistically zero: it IS zero. For this, we are forced to choose between having a nude photo taken of us or getting sexually molested by a paid pervert?
I am not prone to conspiracy theories, but it is my increasing conviction that Prison Planet is closer to the truth than Fox; or at least much closer than the more complacent among us would like to admit.
To be clear: these academics, like Hitler, have MAPPED OUT what they want to do, in writing, and in public. And most of them are seemingly conscienceless, despite constant outward hand-wringing. Morality, to them, is an abstraction, and the worst of crimes easily rationalized. Most of them are clinical narcissists.
