One thing about ((Current Year)), there's never a bad time to reset Psalm 2.

"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the Earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against His Anointed, saying,

'Let us break Their bands asunder, and cast away Their cords from us.'

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; Yahweh shall hold them in derision.

Then He shall speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure."

(V. 1-5)

When this latest scheme comes undone, I fully intend to join in on the holy schadenfreude, if I'm able.

Why Bill Gates wants even your toaster and Roomba to spy on you? Why your shopping behavior is so important to “advertisers” that they steal those records before, during and after all those suspiciously one-sided updates to your “terms and conditions of service?”

You know i've been knowing about asimilar stuff like the following way before the ROISSY/MANosphere(or before i knew about the early version of the MGTOWosphere in '03-but not the following as its from '06) yes?:

Police Cameras in Your Home

This is so nutty that I wasn’t even going to blog it. But too many of you are e-mailing the article to me.

Houston’s police chief on Wednesday proposed placing surveillance cameras in apartment complexes, downtown streets, shopping malls and even private homes to fight crime during a shortage of police officers.

“I know a lot of people are concerned about Big Brother, but my response to that is, if you are not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?” Chief Harold Hurtt told reporters Wednesday at a regular briefing.

One of the problems we have in the privacy community is that we don’t have a crisp answer to that question. Any suggestions?

HPD's new plan calls for more cameras, but neighbors would foot bill

HPD's new plan calls for more cameras, but neighbors would foot billHouston police's latest initiative to crack down on crime has some privacy concerns about added surveillance and how every homeowner should buy the devices.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If criminals knew a camera was on every block, Houston's top cop believes crime would go down, but some experts caution more surveillance may do more harm than good.

If Houston Police Chief Troy Finner had his way, you'd see a lot more cameras around the city.

"I want thousands," Finner said. "Thousands. The more, the better."

Finner's talking about cameras and license plate readers. On Wednesday, he announced a new plan to get more eyes in the sky. He calls it "Project Safe View." It's a plan to get more neighbors and businesses to install the technology.

"If you know that every time that you're doing something, you're going to be on somebody's camera, you're going to think twice about it," Finner explained. "If you are brave enough to do it, we have that footage."

& remember Houston (as when it elected the first openly elected lesbian mayor in the U.S.) is ''Conservative''(so i'd hate to see what less''Conservative'' cities have planned).

"Manipulating Humanity" is terrifying. I am glad that my Father is greater than these people. I was going to die anyway.

I don't see how this can go on much longer, in any case - it is irreversible, I think.
