It has been a year since I fled my quiet Michigan home to "disappear" onto the streets and info forests of the west coast.  A few threatening emails from anonymous sources and a few uncanny occurrences involving my email account had me a bit "spooked."  Spend 20-30 hours copying and pasting the "We the Monitored" alert and go head to head with ex NSA operatives in large net forums and you, too, will be looking over your shoulder.

Well, today is Choke Carnivore Day...ahem...

yeah, sure...

The only thing I really have to say today is that items like Carnivore are rapidly becoming a basic staple for various entities around the globe.  We have SOME mechanisms for keeping our "government" from seizing absolute control over social norms but not so with the private sector, a much larger part of American life.

Intelligence activities in this country are rapidly growing and expanding into hitherto unheard of arenas.

Trust me when I say that what was once solely the realm of the magician, the hypnotherapist, and the actor is not being co-opted for the betterment of the company.

I happen to be in a position to know.

I suggest rapid acceleration in our own attempts at cognitive enhancement...

The herd bleats in unison but it is a song of defeat.

It is truly up to us...

signing off for now...
