ABC News reported today that a confidential source inside the government told them to replace their "cell phones, quick." It appears that our free and democratically elected government has decided that 1984 makes a great guide for governing. Surprisingly, many Americans are not alarmed. William Gibson notes in a recent and rare interview, "I think it's [the X-Files, Nixon wiretapping, science fiction]. I think it's predicated in our delirious sense of what's been happening to us as a species for the past 100 years. During the Cold War it was almost comforting to believe that the CIA was reading everything..." Sadly, these actions are largely unprecidented. This is because technology never before made it so easy for the government to spy on you. Combine this revelation with the collusion with credit card companies, media conglomerates using public funds to terrorize their own customers, RFID tags tracking every purchase and every item you carry into any building and mounting coverups and the picture becomes very clear that our government is no longer OUR government. While we have had poor leaders in the past, there has never been such a successful coordinated attack on the Constitution as there is today. At least there are a few folks paying attention.
