“We Are This Far From A Turnkey Totalitarian State” – Big Brother Goes Live September 2013. Soon we will have zero privacy, unless we send messages on tape recorders that self-destruct ala Mission Impossible.

OK, here's the original story off of Wired:

whose reliability I concede. Yeah, this is for some nervous-makin'.
It is bound to happen. That is the price to pray for multiculturalism, one world ideas and vast amounts of technology. It is what it is. We just have to be ready.
Jeebus Effin Xmas.
First q.) What's the reliability here of the source?
2d q.) What are the chances of a hero who flies for the Air Force accidentally dropping 20 megatons on this thing?
3d q) Is the Post staying open for business? I think I'm going back to writing letters.
If this is true-- and I think there's still some 'if' factor about this-- I will vote for any presidential candidate who would immediately dismantle it.
"I will vote for any presidential candidate who would immediately dismantle it."
Name me one please. I won't only vote for him or her I'll stuff a few ballots for them as well (well I won't stuff any ballots because I'm not a Democrat, but you get my point).
I don't understand why more people haven't posted something about this. This is so insane I can't get my mind around it. To collect so much data on the American people, the VAST majority of which are good, good, people.... what kind of sick person would think of such a thing.
A person that wants power and control over human beings in order to exercise dominion over them and their behavior without their consent and without they doing anything about it.
"Name me one please." No Shi'ite, I wish I could.
Looks like any dissent will be ruthlessly squashed in "Dear Leader's" USSA.

And...and...(sniff) won't you think of the children?
My favorite TV show at the moment is "Person Of Interest." I just love it! It's like "The Equalizer" with a bit of "The Pretender" thrown in and a little Jack Bauer vibe.
HOWEVER... I get the creepy feeling that it's trying to make me feel all warm and fuzzy about being watched by a massive government machine. "Hey! I like being under surveillance! Maybe Jim Caviezel will come and rescue me if I'm ever in trouble!"
My favorite show is "Being Human." It's about a ghost, vampire, and werewolf that live together. I've always been a bit of a SciFi nerd.
That obviously has nothing to do with the topic of Big Brother and the fact that we should all be outraged by this. I just thought the government might want to know that about me and put it in my file. I mean they have these bottomless servers, they gotta fill them with something.
You don't have to worry about that. They have a computer that monitors all your TV viewing through the cable or Satellite box.
Why do you think that you need a digital converter to watch local programming? It's not for better quality picture, it's so they can read the microwave transmissions that tell them what we watch.
I'm sure that everyone that watches "Sons of Guns" are first on the list to be picked up when martial law is declared and all guns must be forefeited!
Uh oh.
Yea, I keep waiting for BATFE to bust in on Will and haul them all away.
I'm also a big "Person Of Interest" fan, RKae. I think it's a pretty good action/suspense show. Mel Gibson told Jim Caviezel that his career would suffer if he played Jesus in "The Passion Of The Christ", and it has the past few years until this show.
Big Brother? I dont know, personally I am hearing the Imperial March playing in the background...
Can you say SKYNET?
