Chicago, IL—Make no mistake
liberty, privacy and freedom died here decades ago. Most people just don’t have a clue freedom is
dead until they experience government tyranny first hand. Apparently hearing about some neighbor’s
troubles does not raise enough red flags.
Despite that our Bill of
Rights and Constitution never provided politicians a simple method to make
amendments they’ve taken the law and our formerly guaranteed liberty into their
own hands.
Americans have been
brainwashed through constant media propaganda into believing their rights
somehow must be balanced against the collective safety and security needs. There is no lawful way to trade liberty for
security outside of properly amending the Constitution for restricting rights. Even if there were a legitimate way this
concept simply won’t work.
Government cannot guarantee safety even
in maximum-security prisons. How can
this be accomplished in a free society?
Safety and security was never guaranteed, but the founding fathers did
give us the right to keep and bear arms for just that purpose. That of course
includes protecting ourselves from government.
As a child of the 1950s I
learned identification cards were needed primarily to insure the return of a
lost wallet or to assist first responders in identifying you in case of
accidents or death. When you bought a
new wallet a blank identification card always came with it for you to fill out.
If you drove, and neither of
my parents did throughout their lives they would have needed a driver’s
license. There was no such thing as a
state issued identity card back then.
They would have needed passports for international travel but for them
this was unnecessary.
Social Security cards were
issued in connection with employment, tax collection and receipt of earned benefits
only. Despite the high profile assurances
of our politicians to the contrary, today that became our primary
identification number!
Until recently in our history
anyone could board a bus, boat, train or plane for domestic travel without
identification or being frisked like a criminal.
Until the mid to late 1970s
there were no photos on our driver’s licenses.
Soon all 50 states required them and California even insisted on a
thumbprint on every application.
Computers gave government raw
power to find anyone living on the so-called grid with even partial
information. Currently our cell-phones provide
the government exactly where we are at all times!
There are ways to defeat
government snooping on us but for the most part they involve committing crimes
to accomplish.
Most Americans think this
massive intrusion into their lives is somehow for their own good! You can always show some anecdotal example on
how a criminal was caught or some fraud was exposed. The fact is that liberty and privacy is being
unlawfully restricted in the name of security.
The latest threat to liberty and privacy is facial
recognition software. Right now Google
is readying their massive database of our pictures for public and government consumption.
Google glass users will be
able to snap an image of you and within seconds they will be looking those
profiles you were kind enough to post on various Social Media sites! Government
Needless to say very soon government
agents from the hated and unwashed TSA thugs to the local cop on the corner
will be making judgments about you before they even talk to you!
Speaking of the TSA, our founding fathers would be shooting and/or hanging those bastards if they were alive today!
Per capita America has more
people incarcerated than any other nation on earth. Needless to say our wrongful conviction rate
is beyond troubling.
The tattooed number at the
top of this story fit the technology available for the Nazis 70 years ago. They tattooed these numbers on Jews and
others deemed undesirable. They could
match them with a central registry providing instant identification.
The difference between the
Nazi tattoo system and what they will use on every man, woman or child is
through modern technology even trumps Hitler’s methods!
Who is willing to say no to
our government about spending tax money on this kind of tyranny?
It should be more than
obvious that we are no longer living in the land of the free or the home of the
brave.
