Your Anonymity Gone With The Wind

The more we talk about freedom (of speech, of assembly, to carry guns, religion) in the world today occupied and controlled by everything progressive, the more we hear the chains rattling

I wrote before about the 2006 Oscar winner for the best Foreign Language Film, “Das Leben des Anderen” (The Lives of Others), a German drama that describes in painful detail life in the communist East Berlin of 1984, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, how ordinary and not so ordinary citizens were spied upon by their government, using agents of the infamous Stasi, the German Democratic Republic’s secret police.

The movie begins in the Hohenschonhausen prison which is now a memorial dedicated to the victims of Stasi repression. It is alleged that the movie director, Florian Graf Henckel von Donnersmarck, was not allowed to film there because the memorial’s administrator, Hubertus Knabe, objected to making “the Stasi man into a hero.”

This article is just a stump!

Why don't you just post some lobster shells and chicken skins, too?

The Stasi, Comrade Stalin, Chairman Ho; none of these evil empires had _anywhere_ near the spy and covert capabilities of DC.

DC has become the evil empire that our Fathers warned us against. The tyranny that our constitution prevented by limiting the power of DC. All of that is gone, long gone. DC has more power than any empire ever did and _no_ government should have as much power as DC.

All this crap got impetus because of Bush's "Patriot Act", Homeland Security, TSA etc. Might just as well named it after Himmler's Bundesministerium des Innern, für Bau und Heimat"

That was a great movie. William F. Buckley said as he was leaving the theater ‘I think I have just seen the best movie I’ve ever seen. ‘

I don’t even worry about privacy anymore. I know I have none. I know my smart TV is sending everything it hears to the NSA. I know everything I type in my PC is being sent to the NSA. We have no privacy. It is all over but the crying. All I can hope is that the FedGov is so swamped with all this data, they can’t use it, but I know that is not true. Their algorhythms are extremely sophisticated and can find what they want in an instant. Welcome to 1984.

Baby Bush was all in with our New World Order overlords, just like his daddy.
