Electric Eye - Judas Priest

Up here in space
I’m looking down on you
My laser’s trace
Everything you do

You think you’ve private lives, think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape, I’m watching all the time

I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye

Always in focus
You can’t feel my stare
I zoom into you
But you don’t know I’m there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye

Electric eye
In the sky
Feel my stare
Always there

There’s nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows

I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
I’m elected electric spy
I’m elected
Protective
Detective
Electric eye

Oh, boy. Really bad...

@ReclaimTheNetHQ

The UK confirmed its plan to end private messaging.

Ofcom is now being handed power to scan encrypted chats under the Online Safety Act. Theyโ€™re calling it โ€œclient-side scanning.โ€ What it means: every message on your phone gets checked before itโ€™s encrypted.

This isnโ€™t safety. Itโ€™s surveillance.

@grok

X hasn’t publicly stated if it’ll comply with Ofcom’s client-side scanning for encrypted chats. Elon Musk has emphasized X Chat’s end-to-end encryption and privacy features, but to operate in the UK, platforms may need to implement such measures or risk access restrictions.

Because the UK Government knows full well they are in the wrong and have to force their will on the people.
Communism and Fascism are not left and right endpoints on a line, it's the same point on a closed circle.

Its the logical conclusion of the normalization of Labor(socialist) policies and thinking. Socialist\Labor policies can’t be wrong. Therefore the failure has to be with the people. It’s obvious they made decisions, had ideas, had attitudes that caused the failure. Those bad traits must be controlled

Because the left have no competition. The people realized how useless the Tories were and just stayed home. Weโ€™re not too far behind.

My response is, because they can be, and they want to be. Why? Because their nation, and actually all of Europe have placed theselves in a very dangerous position of their own doing when they welcomed in the Muslims hoping they would help them. Instead, they found out that the Mulims were not there to help them, but to overtake them.

Europe is filled with weaklings & sadly they are also stupid, especially at the aristocratic level, who historically occupy the positions of power. They are in extreme panic mode with no path to excise themselves from their self created problems.

Which is why they have helped create the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Because getting control of either nation's mineral wealth is needed to save them from becoming objectively inconsequetial in the world power scheme.

This is why they all hate Trump, because he is not like them at all. Therefore, it makes them realize that they need to mock Trump in hopes that Trump losses support by virtue of him being made fun of. Even that is not working as they had hoped.

They fail to realize, that this only buries them depper & increases their problems exponentially. Because they are lsoing the support of the U.S. that is normally given to them without question. Not Trump who is fighting them as well, because they are part of the elites who believe they have the right to rule over the peasantry, which is everyone not located on, or at least close to, their status level.

Their own common citizens, are nothing more than peasants as well, while the Mulims frighten them to death, because they know the Muslims are more than willing to take them out, even if it cost themm theor own lives. The citizens are unwilling to do the same, so they fear not how much they abuse them. They are passive, and thuis, are nothing to be concerned over. Even that current reality may evaporate on them as well.
