The Assault on You

The assault on YOU is something you really ought to take seriously. The surge seems to be on, but then again, it could be the calm before the storm! Every morning when I awaken, I survey the battlefield of the War on Citizens. There are so many battles raging and so many new assaults beginning on all fronts, it’s hard to know where to start. No wonder so many people prefer to hide their heads in the sand and either try to pretend there’s nothing happening, or shrug it off by asking “what can you do”.

The disinformation and psyops are non-stop. I find much of it an insult to my intelligence: “you mean those %$^#&#! really expect me to believe this %$#$@!”? If you take a few steps back, you can’t help but conclude that we are being subjected to an intense attempt to disorient us and in the process, seize control of our sense of reality. Don’t let that happen!

Your privacy and your identity are all you’ve got that makes you YOU. If you allow the non-stop assault on your identity (by invading your privacy) to succeed, you will be lost, and become just another marching moron. If reading Kornbluth’s short story “The Marching Morons” is more than you can manage, then try the comic book form in the movie “Idiocracy”. That’s where we’re headed if we allow the totalitarian forces in our society to take further control. We’re already being treated like cattle, as in the recent disclosure that American children are going to be “tested with Anthrax vaccine” — as if that’s legitimate research that is necessary even if it were just on defenseless animals.

Even if you hide your head in the sand, the insane people running our government and society aren’t going to leave you alone. They’ll test their drugs and vaccines on you and your family, while they catalog every shred of anything you may have that’s yours (and not theirs). And there you have it. Things have degenerated to the point where we’re in the thrall of a group of people so dysfunctional and infantile that they have become completely impotent in all respects other than trying to harass and control you, while they covet what you have that they don’t: some decency and dignity, and whatever self-respect they haven’t already robbed you of. Plus anything you might have that they perceive as a threat to their money and power. It’s really that pathetic.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the song written by John Lennon (killed in NYC by a nut with a gun) and performed by the Beatles entitled “I Me Mine”. That’s what we’re dealing with in the dangerous mentally wounded beast that is conducting the War on Citizens.

Six Strikes – The Details

This blog entry is being actively updated. Check back if this is of interest to you!

This week and last week, “Six Strikes” (the “Copyright Alert System”) went into effect with the “big five ISP’s”: AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner, Cablevision and Comcast. It’s the latest plan-of-action for the folks in Hollywood and elsewhere who have been trying to curb piracy without much success. Until recently, the Big Club was used: Lawyers and lawsuits. Now, instead of the “big stick”, a “small twig” is being used. But it’s very insidious. The plan follows the playbook of the U.S. Government: Pay the telecom companies to turn over their customer usage information, and have them act as cops on your behalf (also for a fee).

Here is the promotional video describing the program. If you like having your intelligence insulted, you’ll LOVE this! The video glosses over many of the disturbing aspects of the program.

The Warning Letters

So far, few details have emerged about how Six Strikes will be implemented. However, ARS Technica has obtained copies of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th letters Comcast says they will send out. Read more in their excellent article on the subject. The Comcast letter are extremely vague, and do not provide any identifying information about what the recipient is accused of sharing.

For users of peer-to-peer networks, the impact seems to be as follows. Seeders will be targeted and leechers, for now, apparently, will be left alone. This strategy seems to be oriented toward demoralizing (pun intended) the bit torrent folks without getting punitive toward leechers (which would cause an uproar).

In fact, the whole Six Strikes effort seems focused entirely at bit torrent users, and seeders as a subset. The detection mechanism appears to be infiltration of bit-torrents, enabling the “police” to join torrents and then extract IPs of seeders. The “police” would then notify the ISP, and leave it up to the ISP.

Rand Paul’s Filibuster Shows Weakness Against Drones

The 13 hour Rand Paul filibuster was… well… tepid. Although he was standing up to the threat of the Federal Government’s refusal to rule out the use of drones against American citizens on American soil, he sounded more like a lawyer than the courageous politician he wanted to portray. The question isn’t “should they be used against citizens in extraordinary circumstances”… the question is “should they be used against citizens at all”.

The most depressing thing about the Obama administration is that it’s all about politics, even in the second term. Politics are clearly not working for the American people, and are all about dodging the hard questions. With the hard questions not being given the light of day, we can be sure that 99.9% of the time, the outcome will not serve the people.

How the Surveillance Society Happened

Day Page for March 1st, 2013 – Lovin’ The Surveillance Society – Abstract:

Hey kids, it’s Day Page for Friday, March 1st – with the ides of March ahead of us, and the first week of Day Page behind us, I’d like to visit one of my favorite topics… NOT! I’ll get right to the point: The government is taking our money, in the form of taxes, and using that money to pay domestic telecommunications companies to spy on us! It’s game over, and we lost. Here’s how it happened. What are you going to do about it?
