“There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private. We must reasonably now all regard the fact that there are no secrets and nothing is private. Everything is public.”
~ Philip K. Dick
How does it feel to be owned and controlled by this abominable government, its murderous military, the criminal 'intelligence' services, the corrupt police, and government's fascist corporate partners? How does it feel to be spied on at nearly every turn, every opportunity, in most every aspect of your lives? Most have a cell phone these days, and that phone is tracking and monitoring your location by GPS technology every moment. Every keystroke you enter, whether on your phone, text, email, internet, or computer, is captured, your data mined and stored. Every single transaction you make with a credit or debit card, every electronic purchase, every banking transfer or transaction is viewed and held. Your entire health history and all medical records are electronically seized. Every single thing you do on any social media is captured, your pictures are used for facial recognition, and all your personal information becomes a map of your life so that the watching eyes of rule will know more about you than you know about yourself.
In other words, the State, or more accurately, those who control and partner with the State, can see every single thing about you. Every part of your life is known to these monsters. They know where you live, where you travel, what groceries you buy, what clothes you wear, where you work and play, what products you purchase, what conversations you have, all your social media content, what restaurants you frequent, what you order online, and they even know your fantasies. They know everything.
We now live in the age of 'Smart.' 'Smart' everything, including your phone, computer, appliances, automobiles, tools, equipment, security systems and devices, cameras, utility metering devices, infrastructure at most every level, and thousands of other applications. The powerful controllers even want all of you to live in "smart cities," so that you can be completely monitored twenty four hours a day, locked down, imprisoned, and restrained. There are now cameras everywhere; well over a billion and growing every day, with the highest number and most surveillance being in China and North America. They are in stores, shops, on the street, in buildings including all government buildings, on computers, phones, in airports, coffee shops, pubs, on drones and satellites, and everywhere else you can imagine. Even walls are no longer protective against the spying eyes of the State.
