[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]End of the American Dream[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]If you live in the United States today, you need to understand that your privacy is being constantly eroded. Our world is going crazy, government paranoia is off the charts and law enforcement authorities have become absolutely obsessed with watching us, listening to us, tracking us, recording us, compiling information on all of us and getting us all to spy on one another. If you doubt that we are rapidly getting to the point where the government will monitor every breath you take and every move you make, just read the rest of this article. The truth is that the government is watching you more closely than ever, and they are spending billions upon billions of dollars to enhance their surveillance capabilities even further.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif] If our society stays on this current path, we will eventually have zero privacy left. At this point, it is not too hard to imagine a society where we will not be able to say anything, buy anything, sell anything, assemble with others or even leave our homes without government permission. We truly are descending into a dystopian nightmare and the American people had better wake up.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Sadly, most people living in the United States and in Europe do not realize what is happening. Most of them think that everything is just fine. The "Big Brother control grid" that is being constructed all over the western world squeezes all of us just a little bit tighter every single day, and most people don't even feel it.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]But when you step back and take a look at the big picture, it truly is horrifying.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The following are 14 new ways that the government is watching you....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#1 In many areas of the United States today, you will be arrested if you do not produce proper identification for the police. In the old days, "your papers please" was a phrase that we used to use to mock the tyranny of Nazi Germany. But now all of us are being required to be able to produce "our papers" for law enforcement authorities at any time. For example, a 21-year-old college student named Samantha Zucker was recently arrested and put in a New York City jail for 36 hours just because she could not produce any identification for police.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#2 The federal government has decided that what you and I share with one another on Facebook and on Twitter could be a threat to national security. According to a recent Associated Press article, the Department of Homeland Security will soon be "gleaning information from sites such as Twitter and Facebook for law enforcement purposes".[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Other law enforcement agencies are getting into the act as well. For example, the NYPD recently created a special "social media" unit dedicated to looking for criminals on social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#3 New high-tech street lights that are being funded by the federal government and that are being installed all over the nation can also be used as surveillance cameras, can be used by the DHS to make "security announcements" and can even be used to record personal conversations. The following is from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson for Infowars.com....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Federally-funded high-tech street lights now being installed in American cities are not only set to aid the DHS in making ?security announcements? and acting as talking surveillance cameras, they are also capable of ?recording conversations,? bringing the potential privacy threat posed by ?Intellistreets? to a whole new level.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#4 More than a million hotel television sets all over America are now broadcasting propaganda messages from the Department of Homeland Security promoting the "See Something, Say Something" campaign. In essence, the federal government wants all of us to become "informants" and to start spying on one another constantly. The following comes from an article posted by USA Today....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Starting today, the welcome screens on 1.2 million hotel television sets in Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday Inn and other hotels in the USA will show a short public service announcement from DHS. The 15-second spot encourages viewers to be vigilant and call law enforcement if they witness something suspicious during their travels.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#5 The FBI is now admittedly recording Internet talk radio programs all over the United States. The following comes from a recent article by Mark Weaver of WMAL.com....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]If you call a radio talk show and get on the air, you might be recorded by the FBI.[/FONT]
<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=135 align=right><TBODY><TR><TD>

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The FBI has awarded a $524,927 contract to a Virginia company to record as much radio news and talk programming as it can find on the Internet.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The FBI says it is not playing big brother by policing the airwaves, but rather seeking access to what airs as potential evidence.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Potential evidence of what?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]This is very creepy. Why is the FBI so interested in what is being said during Internet talk radio programs?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#6 TSA VIPR teams are now conducting random inspections at bus stations and on interstate highways all over the United States. For example, the following comes from a local news report down in Tennessee....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]You're probably used to seeing TSA's signature blue uniforms at the airport, but now agents are hitting the interstates to fight terrorism with Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR).[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"Where is a terrorist more apt to be found? Not these days on an airplane more likely on the interstate," said Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Tuesday Tennessee was first to deploy VIPR simultaneously at five weigh stations and two bus stations across the state.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#7 Thermal imaging face scanners are becoming much more sophisticated. Law enforcement authorities in the western world are getting very excited about "pre-crime" tools such as this that will enable them to "prevent crimes" before they happen. The following is from a recent BBC News article....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]A sophisticated new camera system can detect lies just by watching our faces as we talk, experts say.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The computerised system uses a simple video camera, a high-resolution thermal imaging sensor and a suite of algorithms.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Researchers say the system could be a powerful aid to security services.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]But face scanners are not just a tool that will be used in the future. The truth is that face scanners are being used all over the United States right now. The following comes from an article posted on Singularity Hub....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Law enforcement continues to adopt new technologies in an effort to make their jobs easier and keep us safer. The latest gizmo attaches to officers? iPhones and turns them into biometric face scanners. The scanners have already been street tested in Massachusetts. Pretty soon cops all across the US will be using them to ID suspects.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Before long, technology like this will be all over America. In fact, the FBI has announced that it will be activating a "nationwide facial recognition service" in January.[/FONT]

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#8 Another "pre-crime" technology currently being tested by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is The Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) program. The following description of this new program comes from an article in the London Telegraph....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Using cameras and sensors the "pre-crime" system measures and tracks changes in a person's body movements, the pitch of their voice and the rhythm of their speech.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]It also monitors breathing patterns, eye movements, blink rate and alterations in body heat, which are used to assess an individual's likelihood to commit a crime.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) programme is already being tested on a group of government employees who volunteered to act as guinea pigs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Do you want government officials to pull you aside and interrogate you just because you are feeling a little bit nervous one particular day?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#9 Sadly, "pre-crime" technology is even being used on our children. The Florida State Department of Juvenile Justice has announced that it will begin using analysis software to predict crime by young delinquents and will place "potential offenders" in specific prevention and education programs.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]How soon will it be before this type of things is applied to adults?[/FONT]

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#10 Our children are being programmed to accept the fact that they will be watched and monitored constantly. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is spending large amounts of money to install surveillance cameras in the cafeterias of public schools all across the nation so that government control freaks can closely monitor what our children are eating.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#11 The U.S. government is also increasingly using "polls" and "surveys" as tools to gather information about all of us. In previous articles, I have noted how government authorities seems particularly interested in our children. According to Mike Adams of Natural News, the CDC is starting to call parents all over the U.S. to question them about the vaccination status of their children....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The U.S. Centers for Disease Control, which has been comprehensively exposed as a vaccine propaganda organization promoting the interests of drug companies, is now engaged in a household surveillance program that involves calling U.S. households and intimidating parents into producing child immunization records. As part of what it deems a National Immunization Survey(NIS), the CDC is sending letters to U.S. households, alerting them that they will be called by "NORC at the University of Chicago" and that households should "have your child's immunization records handy when answering our questions."[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]You can see a copy of the letter that the CDC has been sending out to selected parents right here.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#12 As I have written about previously, a very disturbing document that Oath Keepers has obtained shows that the FBI is now instructing store owners to report many new forms of "suspicious activity" to them. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]According to the document, "suspicious activity" now includes the following....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]paying with cash[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]missing a hand or fingers[/FONT] <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=135 align=right><TBODY><TR><TD>
<IFRAME style="WIDTH: 120px; HEIGHT: 240px" marginHeight=0 src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=lewrockwell&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B002MQ3G1U&nou=1&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=FFFFFF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameBorder=0 marginWidth=0 scrolling=no></IFRAME>
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"strange odors"[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]making "extreme religious statements"[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"radical theology"[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]purchasing weatherproofed ammunition or match containers[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]purchasing meals ready to eat[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]purchasing night vision devices, night flashlights or gas masks[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Do any of those "signs of suspicious activity" apply to you?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]According to a report on WorldNetDaily, this document is part of a "series of brochures" that will be distributed "to farm supply stores, gun shops, military surplus stores and even hotels and motels."[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#13 In some areas of the country, law enforcement authorities are pulling data out of cell phones for no reason whatsoever. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]According to the ACLU, state police in Michigan are now using "extraction devices" to download data from the cell phones of motorists that they pull over. This is taking happening even if the motorists that are pulled over are not accused of doing anything wrong.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The following is how a recent article on CNET News described the capabilities of these "extraction devices"....[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The devices, sold by a company called Cellebrite, can download text messages, photos, video, and even GPS data from most brands of cell phones. The handheld machines have various interfaces to work with different models and can even bypass security passwords and access some information.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]#14 The government can spy on us and record our conversations seemingly without any limitation, but in many areas of the country it has become illegal to watch them or record them in public. For example, one 21-year-old man down in Florida was recently arrested for trying to document a confrontation that he was having with police on his iPhone. But if we can't record them, how can we prove our side of the story in court?[/FONT]

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]America is becoming a much different place.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Our privacy is being eroded in thousands of different ways.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]National governments and big corporations know far more about you than you probably ever would imagine.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Yes, there will always be "security threats", but we should not have to throw away any of our rights in order to be "safe".[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]America is supposed to be about liberty and freedom.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]America is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]If given the choice between living in "1984" and living in "1776", I know what my choice would be.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]I would choose 1776.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]I would choose liberty and freedom even if it meant that the world around me was a little bit less "safe".[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]What about you?[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]What would you choose?[/FONT]
