"Terrorists" are just the resistance to total global domination and hegemony by local populations - then twisted and manipulated by the secret-state apparatus to achieve dominance at home and abroad.
Successful "terror" organizations are invariably the sponsored creation of intelligence operations by the US, Israel and their allies.
Every other interpretation is the result of disinformation or outright brainwashing.
We can avoid the possibility of terrorists trying to destroy a free and open society, by eliminating the free and open element - therefore removing attractiveness as a target.
Well, I guess Matt Blaze won't fit into this brave, new world, Mr. and Mrs. AmeriKKKa.
This is a proposal for better security through psychological denial and cognitive dissonance.
As such, it fulfils the "Ignorance is Strength" part of the equation, which already has it's "War is Peace" and "Freedom is Slavery" components well under way. So begins the formalisation of thoughtcrime - through state promotion of doublethink.
The keyword here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink. Doublethink is basically the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.

This number is the value of the fine-structure constant (the actual value is one over one-hundred and thirty seven), which is defined as the charge of the electron (q) squared over the product of Planck's constant (h) times the speed of light (c). This number actually represents the probability that an electron will absorb a photon. However, this number has more significance in the fact that it relates three very important domains of physics: electromagnetism in the form of the charge of the electron, relativity in the form of the speed of light, and quantum mechanics in the form of Planck's constant. Since the early 1900's, physicists have thought that this number might be at the heart of a GUT, or Grand Unified Theory, which could relate the theories of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and most especially gravity. However, physicists have yet to find any link between the number 137 and any other physical law in the universe. It was expected that such an important equation would generate an important number, like one or pi, but this was not the case. In fact, about the only thing that the number relates to at all is the room in which the great physicist Wolfgang Pauli died: room 137. So whenever you think that science has finally discovered everything it possibly can, remember Richard Feynman and the number 137.
Really, how about any of the craft in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odessey. He was working with Bob McCall and Willy Ley and all of that crew - who were tasked with imagining the post-Apollo vision of space exploration. The PanAm shuttle was eerily like the configuration of the Rockwell NASA shuttle...
I know! Why not get rid of everything, and put a big "dial" in the corner. You could label different "channels" on this dial: Facebook, Google and MSN. There could also be a hidden "UHF" dial - where bookmarks would populate the "channels" that you never visit, and want to forget about.

Oh, well... Never mind.

Yawn. I guess this IS a step forward, from doing nothing at all.
