The Drone Machines Mean the End of Privacy.

What is the definition of privacy? Most authorities agree that it is “freedom from the attention of others”.

So, with that in mind, we must ask why people cannot seem to shake the undiluted attention of their governments?

The science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov said:

“An advance of civilization is nothing but an exercise in the limiting of privacy.”

This must mean we are very civilized indeed. Consider how many modern technologies are directed at the average citizen’s privacy.

There are illegal wire taps, drone machines watching us from the skies, chips and tracking devices in passports and credit cards, and biometric programs holding our photos, DNA, fingerprints and retinal scans. 

That is a lot of attention and a serious degradation of privacy.

Observed, Monitored and Controlled

All the Little Details

Consider the increasing use of surveillance drone machines. 

They can record details like faces and license plates, they can also launch missiles, record conversations and even employ “non lethal weapons” if required. 

In the United States they would represent a clear violation of Fourth Amendment rights, but such an issue would probably be shunted off to the sidelines in the name of security or safety. 

Additionally, these machines represent other major problems as well. These include the likelihood of their causing problems with other aircraft, and their capability for advanced spying. 

The Iranian government went on record to complain about drone machines jamming signals between ground and air craft.

Imagine the implications of this technology in a domestic sphere. Any signals that can be jammed can also be recorded or listened in on. 

Once again we are back at privacy, and how citizens seem to be losing control over it. 

Where It all Leads

Though eyes roll over any suggestion that a single world government is being created, it is fairly easy and obvious when one tries to connect the various dots. So, shall we give it a try? 

First, in response to fear and terror citizens willingly sacrifice some of their most basic rights (i.e. the USA PATRIOT Act and all of its related legislation).

Next, re-programming citizens around what is “normal” must begin. This can be seen in all of the personal data we are forced to turn over.

For example, all visitors to Disney Land must submit their fingerprint to a biometric program.

Additionally, many people are falling prey to further such measures including schools and universities. 

As stated: re-programming must begin, and there is nowhere better than in the school systems. 

With such efforts in place, a government would have a virtually unprotected citizenry that is conditioned to live without a large measure of privacy. 

Police States 

The conditioning is carried even farther by a militarized police force. This means law enforcement agencies with the same weaponry, technologies and capacities as the military. Is this beginning to make sense? 

Currently the United States military has shifted such equipment as drone machines, taser (non-lethal weapons) and high-tech spying gear into the hands of the police. 

This means that the days of verbal negotiation, respect of privacy and the power of Constitutional rights are fading.

If a police officer follows the cue of his or her government and simply tasers a non-compliant citizen it is a strong indicator of worse things to come.

Clearly it is time for the world’s citizens to open their eyes and resist the all too easy slide into unquestioning complacency. Because soon it will be all of us who are the drones.
