Makings of a Worldwide Surveillance State?

Former NSA employee, Edward Snowden, exposed the tip of the iceberg in terms of what appears to be a worldwide spying apparatus that is employing the most advanced technologies.

We now know that the NSA, which has indiscriminate access to the phone conversations and computers of millions of Americans, coordinates with the British spy agency GCHQ that developed the "Optic Nerve" program. The British program involved the arbitrary gathering of millions of Yahoo webcam chats with the data transferred to a massive central database.

Meanwhile the "Prism" program launched by the NSA in 2007,simultaneously with a British GCHQ counterpart, works with computer and electronics companies to gather personal data on users of products. The latest is a component of the new Microsoft's Xbox, which allows for video surveillance in the homes of users.

Part of the Affordable Care Act (Obama care) involves the gathering of personal medical data on every American who participates, with the information to be stored in a massive computer facility being built in Utah. The Common Core Curriculum includes surveys of public school students in which personal data is gathered and stored in a computer facility near Washington D.C.

Plans are afoot requiring new cars to be fitted with computer chips for the purpose of tracking the location and route of the vehicle under the guise that the information would be used to levy road taxes.

“We are rapidly moving toward a world-wide surveillance apparatus that will be in a position very soon allowing government to know everything about virtually every person on the planet,” warns McNeil. Aldous Huxley, the author of “Brave New World,” wrote about effects of drugs, and he was right, but his admonition could just as easily apply to what we are looking at now with the emergence of the international surveillance state.

Huxley wrote:
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.
