Warzael's Rant (Was Living in the mind of Big Brother)

[Perception Control <hacktivism@disinfo.net>]

[: hacktivism :]


Keep in mind these are just my opinions, not that of HBPPM itself.

Your first misunderstanding, Raschid, is assuming I am talking about physical reality. If you may punch a wall, sure it may hurt, but who tells you that it is a wall? If all the papers said it was tree then you would believe it was a tree. It may perform the same function but it would still be different. I did not say that the media killed all 5 senses: don't put words in my mouth. Reality is perception and if you are told that Russia started the Second World War enough you will believe it, therefore reality changes. Reality in the sense of a mental paradigm, which is what I am discussing, is subjective, but at the same time the information regarding "reality" you are fed is consensual. Unless otherwise noted I am not discussing physical reality, if I was you would be absolutely correct, there IS a place we all inhabit with things that can hurt us.

Your definition and mine differ, largely because of your religious beliefs, you hold that there must be absolute truth. I say that truth is malleable. Of course there is a fine line between a definiton of a pear and an apple! Reality is what you are told, if everyone tells you a pear is an animal native to Tasmania then you will believe it. It may not change the physical existence of apple and pear, but it will change your perception of what they are.
You also brought up one of my pet hates: STOP assuming that EVERYONE is a fucking American! I am not an American, never have been an American, never will be an American, your constitution means nothing to me. In my country we do NOT have a right to free speech and you should consider yourself damn lucky that you do. I didn't say I wanted anarchy or chaos either.
" Next to the Jews, Christianity has
 historically been the most persecuted religion on the planet."

I think the pagan community would have something to say about that.

"
 The idea of "Big Brother" is silly in and of itself. It implies an
 intelligent malevolent force out simply to confound freedom and destroy the
 liberty of common people"

If you looked at another post I made in response to something similar to this you would have noted that I do not believe Big Brother is an ENTITY! It is a METAPHOR. Big Brother is the metaphor for the surveillance society we live in. Don't be so damn literal.

"
 ***Maybe camera monitor public places in Britain, or other countries; the
 problem in this entire essay of our friend is that he takes specific
 incidences and generalizes. That's dangerous. Here's how his logic goes. One
 street gets a camera. Therefore, there must be camera everywhere! In the
 plants! In the sky! Wait! The birds are ultra-high tech cameras Beware! Stay
 in your house, lock your doors!! Ridiculous? Of course; I'm making a point.
 The absurdity of that statement is clearly evident. Governments do not have,
 and never will, the level of control and power that the author of the essay
 propounds. He also claims that religion is the 'greatest globalization
 venture there is'. Well, there might just actually *be* something in it, if
 it appears to work so well! Where the precepts of Christianity go,
 typically, freedom does as well (America is one of the only countries left
 still rabidly holding onto it's Christian roots. Mean anything?***"

America does not mean anything to me. Let's get that straight now. As for public monitoring, let's take a little walk down the Mall in my capital city shall we?
Oh what's this? Cameras in the mall? It would appear so. Go into the shops, oh, cameras in the shops too. Go to school, Cameras there as well. Let's go to my workplace, ooooooh, cameras there too! Public toilets? Guess what....there are cameras! Don't be so damn facetious Raschid, you may be bitter because your religous dogma was rejected, but that doesn't give you the right to mock me. I never said there were cameras in flowers or any of that crap. Keep to the point at hand...and for your information, where the precepts of christianity go, pain and spiritual rape does as well. How righteous are you christians? Oh, we'll go to a nice innocent lil village in Africa, at peace with themselves and the environment, and tell that if they do not convert from their heathen ways, they will all suffer eternal damnation. Just consider that for a moment.

"My advice? Skip the pandering to your audience. Write something
 original, instead of using tired conspiracy cliches. The tone of your essay
 was intended to raise the spirit of our relutionaries and get them into
 gear. Commendable, but you CAN'T do it using worn-out sayings....no one will
 listen. Quit trying to hard to be original, and just write what you feel. 9
 times out of 10, it'll be original when it finally gets to press.... "

"Tired conspiracy cliches" as you call them are metaphors. We must never forget them, for if we do, 1984 may become the dominant feature of everyday life. As for "paranoiacs" (mentioned elsewhere) the metaphor that is "Big Brother" has a lot more control than you think.

If you own a mobile phone, dial this and watch your screen *#06#. It should give you your International Mobile Equipment Identification Number, this code is in every mobile telephone (now becoming a dominant accessory in Western society, and a lot of Eastern society too) and is different for each one. It doesn't take too much of a stretch of imagination to conceive that, if for whatever reason, you needed to be "homed" in on, that number would help immensely. See if you can find a hack online to put your cellular on Engineering Mode, on this mode it also tells how far away you are from the station, that too could be used. By saying that Big Brother (as a metaphor remember) has convinced the world that it isn't real, I mean that a lot of people give little to no thought about all the things around us that COULD, and that is an important word, COULD be used to identify us. Biometrics is going to make it worse too. All DNA on file, and personal characteristics? Couple that with the completion of the Human Genome Project and sooner or later with the wonders of biochemical engineering specifically designed retroviruses COULD be made to target an individual. They are POSSIBILITIES, and ones that MAY come to pass if we remain silent.

I will write what I feel is pertinent, and defend it if necessary.

Oh, and by the way Raschid, don't call me your friend.
