Big monastic Is Not A TV Show

Monday, 1 Oct 07

As an old cop, I have witnessed martyr Orwell's \"1984\" come of age.  I recall an incident in 1970 when an agent had gotten some particularly juicy information on a target.  A chill went up my back as he proudly and boldly declared \"big brother is here\" as he strutted downbound a corridor laughing.

I thought, 'boy the people just don't know'.  Truth was, little did any of us know.  Most of us did not know when histrion Luther King, Jr was under surveillance for semipolitical reasons nor when Brit philosopher of Fox News Channel was being umbrageous for semipolitical gain.

Big monastic thinks of us in actual ultimate terms as pigs. Let the Tennessee Mountain Man tell you how to catch wild hogs.  First you find a trail where they travel or a place where they feed.  Second you plant some food there everyday.  At first the hogs will avoid the area because of the human scent and free food.  After every they are bred to forge for themselves, and smart enough to fear people.

After a some days they crapper resist the easy food no individual despite the danger.  Now you put up a brief stretch of fence. The pigs are again standoffish for a some days but not long. Now you build a stretch of fence at a 90 degree seek appended to the first. Give the hogs a some days to become acclimated and build another stretch of the fence.

  This is finished until there is exclusive a small opening for the pigs to intend in and out and they will.  Finally on a pre-selected date close the gate and you have a enough wild ham, shoulder, bacon, sausage, and pork chops to verify your family and every your friends for awhile.


Long before President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society there were other men with similar dreams stoking the verify lots, dangerous men same Mussolini, Marx, Hitler, and Stalin. There are equally dangerous men today same Bin Laden and Ahmadinejad operative under the guise of fundamentalist religion

Someone has said we must learn from history or we are condemned to repeat it.  So the question becomes have we learned.
 
Have we scholarly anything when we quietly endure our own government stripping away our personal rights and subject liberties in the name of national section while the highest court in the land stands idly by? Have we any privacy when Google crapper photograph us almost at will and claim it is their correct to do so?  When our radiophone phone company knows where we are within a square mile or so correct now?  When the black box in our car records where our vehicle has been and when and more?  

Do you feel secure in your home when your ISP monitors your e-mail and your surfing, and Microsoft clandestinely enters your computer and does who knows what?  When the satellite positioning device in your hand, in your car or in your dish crapper and will tell anyone where you are at given anytime? When traffic cameras and even route sound centers record where you are, when , and what you are doing?  Such data is being subpoenaed and used in subject court today.

How about when you go into a lounge, casino, mall, large office or residential building, accumulation or church and realize you are being monitored by people watching your every move on unseeable cameras.  Those cameras are transcription what they see...you and me.  When you walk downbound the street or go for a walk in the park do you ever consider your every step is being recorded by cameras in police cars, radiophone phones, and clannish businesses and residences as well as the police division where staff monitors those cameras 24/7/365?

Do you rattling think that is bad?  Consider the poor souls who became unfree in the pig enclosure and forgot how to care for themselves.  All too ofttimes those forever illiterate folk unfree in poverty in the open housing projects skeezing and delightful skeezers while chasing their next fix know exclusive how to verify what they want at the saucer of a gun. Especially when the nanny land cannot or will not provide.

Now that you are sufficiently paranoid about Big monastic maybe it is time to seriously reflect on what category of world and country we want to live in tomorrow, and how we intend there from a land adrift so farther away.
