At the risk of Repeating myself

On: Who Cares If Privacy Is Slipping Away?

i have said it before and i will say it again ..

i will however repeat myself because .. in my own life i have had the experience of telling people something over and over again .. until they get it ..

were upon the normal reaction is .. why didn't you say that before ..

were i could say i did .. but they will insist that i have not told them before .. etc. etc.

if you really want to understand what and why things are happening the way they are .. study the work of Stanley Milgram and John Taylor Gatto

http://www.stanleymilgram.com/

http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/

that and the fact that there is no were near enough resources for everyone in the world to enjoy an average american lifestyle .. about 1/4 to about 1/8 being the range .. 3 in 4 four to 7 in 8 need to die .. for it to happen ..

the level of control need/desired by the wealth/ruling class will only continue to increase .. and the water WARS will make the oil WARS seem like a warm up ..

and as Albert Einstein said " i do not know how the third world WAR will be fought .. but the fourth world WAR will be fought with sticks and stones .."

Re:One more vote for the Conservatives, then?

On: The UK's Total Surveillance

it's simple really .. Tony Blair and most of the Labour government are not true liberals .. they just ran as liberals to get elected .. something that has been going on for quite sometime now .. they just use a softer stance to appear to be a better chose than the hard line conservatives .. the majority of all politicians are members of the ruling class .. regardless of which party they belong to ..

they also own the media by the way .. not to mention the banks etc.

this all really happened in and around 1948 .. the year that Orwell wrote 1984 .. with the arrival of broadcast and cable TV ..

party politics democracy is a ruling class ..

simple majority democracies are noting but limited dictatorships .. calling themselves democracies ..

in a real and true democracy .. there and be no representation in lieu of the people .. party .. constitution .. or otherwise ..

but as Stanley Milgram and others have pointed out .. that 65% and upward .. of any given population can be counted on to simply submit to authority .. it's a done deal ..

and the ruling class is very well aware of this fact ..

http://www.stanleymilgram.com/

modern technology is just making it possible for the ruling class to have the amount of control and power that they have always wanted ..and thought was their birth rite anyway .. but did not have the man power or means to make it so ..

a good place to start investigating .. Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars .. the 25 anniversary is believed to be referencing to the first Bilderberg meeting ..

which was then promptly overthrown by a United States backed and orchestrated military Coup d'État ..lead by Augusto Pinochet .. on September 11, 1973

On: Privacy Threat in New RFID Travel Cards?

i don't know why human beings have not figured this out yet .. it's not like we are at the beginning of the industrial revolution ..

personally i think it has a great deal to do with generational amnesia ..

that any and all technologies that are developed .. will have just as many potential downsides as potential upsides .. the developer .. the advertisers .. those advocating it's use .. those looking to make a profit from it .. seldom if ever .. are willing to admit this .. and never want to discus it .. they/we just don't ask enough "what if" questions at the beginning of anything we are developing/changing in the modern world ..

as long as there is a self interest or a profit motive .. this will always be the case ..

just for example .. that the large scale use of automobiles burning fossil fuels .. may lead to dangerous levels of pollution and/or catastrophic climate change .. that having large numbers of people using cell phones while driving .. is like having a large number of drunken drivers on the road .. or that weapon systems developed to defend someone can just as easily be used against them .. the list goes on .. and on ..

What If ..

the bottom line is that there are just as many possible downsides as upsides in all cases ..

and it is not whether some technology that is developed .. will be used for nefarious purposes by someone .. it is just when .. by whom .. to what extent and to what end ..

the "law" versus my physical existence

On: Britain's 400 Years of Cyber Law

it is also my understanding that .. with regard to the rights granted to free men under the "magna carta" .. there is a clause that forbid future governing bodies from passing laws that take away the originally granted rights ..

also it is my understanding that by signing any document with the included statement:

"without prejudice and under duress"

signifies that "i" am signing this document stating that .. "i" do not acknowledge that the signature has any significance .. (that a signature has no real .. only abstract value) .. and that "i" am signing this because someone is requiring that "i" do so ..

which is what the whole issue .. that some people are trying to raise with respect to what it means to be an actual physical existence apart from any conceptual or legal meaning and definition .. is really all about .. and how what some people refer to as a "natural person" is defined under the "law" .. which is actually another fictitious entity under the law .. apart for my actual physical sovereign existence as a living entity .. to which "i" have never granted anyone authority over .. nor have "i" ever agreed to live by anyone else's rules .. laws or conscience .. save my own ..

the whole modern system is nothing but a sophisticated scam .. indoctrinated by public education .. that allows those of wealth and power to exert a claim to having authority over my being .. in the "name" of a civilized society controlled by "the rule of law" and the threat of punishment .. and by simple democracies .. were by 51 percent can claim a right to exert authority over 49 percent of a people .. in fact nothing but limited dictatorships ..

there by providing the means for a just and civilized society .. and a means of protecting their wealth and power .. and keeping us safe of course .. read .. them safe from the rest of the us .. the 95 or so percent of us without any significant wealth or real power over our own lives ..

while really not providing the vast majority any real security at all .. but promising to seek out and punish anyone causing us harm after the fact .. along with no real opportunity for significant wealth .. unless you happen to win the lotory that is and even that is not the level of wealth the ruling class enjoy ..

Free Market ???

On: SCOTUS To Hear Patentable Thought Case

it's all about keeping politicians judges and lawyer .. with accountants and doctors thrown in for good measure .. feed .. wealthy .. and in control of our lives ..

patents have no place in a "free market" .. except to protect and fulfill the above reality .. and the interests of the few(patent holders) versus the many ..

the absurdity of it all .. is just the inevitable outcome of limited dictatorships(party politics) and the rule of law .. as a means of organizing and controlling society .. they look and sound good .. but don't work .. neither of which has anything to do with natural persons being in control of their own lives ..

ever notice how all most all politicians(law makers) are either lawyers .. doctors .. or accountants .. and that judges are all lawyers appointed by politicians to interpret the laws they make???

the real joke is that the vast majority of all these blood sucking top feeders and their enforcers(the police) .. have sworn oaths of office on a book that expressly forbids the swearing of oaths .. by arguably the most important figure in the book "Jesus Christ" .. and the book is the "bible" ..

"Matthew 5:33-37 33 " Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' 34 "But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 "nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 "Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one."

note: there are only two original definitions for the word Satan .. the adversary and the prosecuting attorney(lawyer) .. whom christ condemned for having taken the "KEY" of knowledge(of good and evil) .. and the fact that for hundreds of years the court has required that people swear and oath on the bible to validate their testimony ..

they obviously have not read the "book" or did they?? ..

if you really want to begin to understand it all .. a good place to start is studying the work of John Taylor Gatto re: public education(legislated mass brainwashing) and Stanley Milgram re: obedience (especially after public education)

welcome to 1984 .. the NWO .. and the end times .. it creeps in one day and one law at a time ..

Revelation 17:15,17 15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 17 "For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.

No normal citizen

On: Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq?

in your Saudi Arabia experience piece you say ..

"No normal citizen of a secular "western" nation would tolerate this level of interference with his or her" .. "reality"

no offence intended .. but i think you and many others are very naive about common peoples level of awareness and tolerance of the world around them .. but then again the most people are pretty common .. especially ones who have gone through the public education system(Mass Brainwashing) and are subjected to Private Mass Media(Propaganda) ..

i would suggest you investigate the work of Stanley Milgram http://www.stanleymilgram.com/ to get a feeling for what common people will tolerate ..

basically 65-70% of any average population is willing to put someone to death on the word of an authority figure for having done nothing more that make a mistake ..

not for having committed a crime .. not for having killed someone else .. just simply for having made a mistake ..

Censorship .. Freedom of will speech & acti

On: Google Targeted By Anti-Censorship Movement

Freedom of will .. freedom of speech .. freedom of action .. the protection of the public good and Censorship ..

are in fact really about the same issue ..

were as .. free speech and the freedom of the press .. are really most often about opposites of issues ..

true free speech .. can only mean .. that anyone and everyone is free to say what they please .. apart .. from the freedom to and of acting on ones thoughts or words .. especially where and when the physical sovereignty of persons is involved ..

a true free press .. can only means everyone and anyone has free and equal access to the media ..

for if only those who can pay have access to the press .. there is indeed no freedom of the press ..

moreover .. freedom of the press has nothing to do with .. someone or anyone .. via mass limited access media being able to continually and repeatedly expressing a limited position and opinion .. without equal amounts of time for varied other and opposing points of view ..

at the same time there is nothing wrong .. if one is truly seeking public order .. with restricting thoughts and ideas that encourage separation .. segregation and acts of aggression .. or acts of violence against other persons ..

as the sovereignty of being is the only real right and true desire of almost all beings .. when threatened with or experiencing harm form others ..

preventing others from expressing there opinion because it offends your sensibilities .. believes or morals .. but posses no direct threat to persons and does not promote or encourage such actions .. is indeed censorship of free speech ..

at the same time .. LAWS .. that try to make it criminal to express anger and hate towards others .. with just cause for violation of persons .. are just ideals go astray .. and a denial of human fear and emotion when confronted with threats and acts of violence towards persons..

and destined to fail being able to resolve grievances of violation amongst humankind ..

but defending the freedom of the press .. to say as it pleases .. under the guise of free speech is untrue .. unwise and a lie .. and will in time most certainly fail ..

as well .. if i have freedom of speech but no freedom of action .. it is really nothing but hot air ..

and unless everyone has equal and direct access to the media .. it is nothing but mass brain washing and propaganda ..

restricting the transmission of thoughts and ideas that are threatening and destabalizing to the the well being of the majority is .. just true good and wise governance ..

that is .. if you intention is for the freedom and well being of the greater majority of the people ..

as opposed to .. for the benefit of a few .. and the control of the many .. by a few ..

then some can and probably will .. argue that it is a censorship of their free speech ..

everyone should have the opportunity to publicly express their opinion

are not likely to know or remember this fact..

the vast majority of beings are/have accepted a "Social" world based on competition and control VS cooperation and empowerment ..

the rule of law and political party based democracy (limited dictatorships) .. so often espoused these days .. is a very convenient system for controlling natural beings .. by those in a privileged position of power.. haven't you noticed how the vast majority of politicians are either lawyers .. doctors .. or accountants ..

Clustering Illusion .. Oxymoronic

On: Is the iPod Shuffle Playing Favorites?

reason would suggest ..

that given the nature of the business .. that promotion is and always has been a major part of it .. given what is at stake .. potentially substantially increased wealth and power for those involved .. and given what is expectable human behavior .. of being in a position to take advantage of a situation for one's own benefit .. that once even a small sampling of people were claiming such observed patterns .. it would be unreasonable to assume that it was not being done .. until absolutely proven otherwise ..

regardless of it's overall distribution around a mean .. if a clustering occurs it is not an illusion .. to call it such .. to name it such is oxymoronic .. all that can be said to have been determined with any significant degree of certainty is that insufficient data maybe available to determine it's pattern and significance ..

as reported recently in slashdot .. and possibly in the not to distant future .. all of the very LAWS of probabilities involving the distribution of what was believed to be randomly generated numbers .. long believed to be a certain way .. may in fact prove to have be illusionary ..

seeking outside confirmation .. shows a tendency to doubt one's own ability to make accurate observations about reality .. and to suggest that an observed pattern does not exist .. or to suggest that such observation is akin to a conspiracy paranoia .. is to seed doubt in someone's ability to accurately perceive their own reality .. hardly helpful to others .. and can only serve to stroke one's own ego of a perceived superior knowledge ..

and why is it do you think that humans might be wired to observe patterns ?

Re:Adult stem cells

On: Paralyzed Woman Walks Again

just some thoughts ..

where is the all but inevitable end of modern medicine's quest for practical immortality and the conquering of disease going to lead? ..

The David Suzuki Foundation refers to estimates based on ecological foot-printing http://dieoff.org/page110.htm and others ..
that somewhere between 4 & 5 planets would be required to provide just an "average" north american lifestyle to the current world population .. which if extrapolated .. means that in the current world .. 3 to 4 out of every 6 people need to be eliminated in order for the remaining 1 to 3 individual to have it ..

just what do you think the average person is going to represent to someone who possesses such technology .. but someone breathing eating and drinking .. "their" air food and water .. if you think the earth is valuable and important to human life now .. just wait till someone possesses this technology .. that is if someone does not already possess this technology .. such as the ability to turn off the aging gene (Monsanto ??)

so let's introduce and end to disease and the ability to provide "practical" physical immortality into the mix .. and where do you think we are headed? .. especially with the Genome the "tree of life" available for the development of genetic weapons ..

which by the way would certainly appear to be the reason that man was kicked out of the garden of eden .. not sin .. as portrayed by the the organized churches .. and as such the belief of most average Christians .. sin was the precursor .. but preventing access to the "Tree of Life" and immortality was the reason the "Gods" kicked man out of the garden ..

NKJ Genesis 3
22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"

which though some what off topic .. leads me to another challenge to the average Christian world ..

as the garden of eden is portrayed as an actual location on the earth .. as opposed to say the whole of the earth .. i would like anyone .. especially someone who advocate a literal interpretation of the bible as being necessary .. to take me to the garden of eden so i can witness the cherubim and the flaming sword for myself ..

NKJ Genesis 3
24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. (no mention of what guards the west entrance??)

and if you are good and truly religiously minded .. not offense intended .. but a scientifically minded religious person .. would seem to be the epitome of oxymora .. how can you support healing and immortality by any other means than by faith .. which is the essence of almost all current religions and essential to Christianity .. which defines faith i might add as:

NKJ Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.(a very good definition for my money)

especially given that by my interpretation of the book .. science is nothing but a new universal language .. read: global language .. and that science is nothing less than attempting the deconstruction/understanding of the Divine

Paranoid delusions

On: Color Laser Printers Tracking Everything You Print

me thinks your starting to see the light ..

welcome to 1984 & the Brave New World ..

that's the beauty of the opposing party democracy system .. it provides the ruling class with the perfect system for disenfranchising and isolating the serfs .. it provides the illusion of some kind of control and freeDUMB where there is none ..

if one thinks it through .. all that a conspiracy is .. at it's most basic level .. is a preconceived plan by an given group of people ..

which in this case is that 2-5% of the worlds population that controls 95-98% of the wealth .. and who are not going to give up that wealth and it's accompanying power .. or share it with anyone they don't have to .. if there is any conceivable way of not doing so ..

historically all that "they" have had to do is start a war .. which takes the focus of "them" and puts the focus on the "enemy" .. which by the way .. historically has also provided the greatest amount of wealth for "them".. although some of the intervening resource booms and the modern .com boom have done very well for "them" as well ..

it is most easily achieved with the poorly educated .. young .. nieve and idealistic serfs who don't have the benefit of generational experience .. in most cases all that has been required is to "make" an enemy .. then encourage a sense of fear .. indignation .. moral outrage .. mix in a little self-righteousness and patriotism .. and "they" have been able to get just about anyone to die defending "their" right .. to "their" wealth and "their" freedom ..

"they" have done enough study and profiling on the general population (with them paying the bill no less) .. such as Stanley Milgram work .. mentioned in another posting on /. a few days ago .. to know that the very idea of someone conspiring behind one's back to manipulate and control one's reality is so disheartening and frightening that the average person will simple take the path of least resistance .. and deny that is even possible .. let a lone happening ..

and as Stanley Milgram demonstrated .. the majority of any given population will simply fallow the figures of authority even in peaceful times .. let a lone in a time of war .. as did the majority of the population in germany under Hitler ..

by the time they come to take you away .. for demonstrating some ability to think for yourself and thus being a threat to "their" control .. or to conscript you to go off and die in some foreign land to plunder another countries resources .. because "they" .. your past "leaders" have mismanaged and squandered "your" countries resources ..

it is in all most all cases .. way to late to do anything about it ..

if you are of a mind do a search for a document called "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" .. although it seems to be harder to find a working link these days .. this being one of the better ones that i have found because it contain actual formulas .. http://land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/sw4qw/index.shtm l .. many claim that it is not a real historical document

the only pure and true form of democracy is Direct Democracy .. in which there can be: "NO representation in lieu of the people"

your constitution does say: WE THE PEOPLE does it not .. although constitutional authorities .. are also just a another distraction of the authority and will of THE people ..

how and where did so many people .. in so many places .. get this idea that you can and should elect governments/RULERS and PAY them to hire and pay mercenaries to defend the citizenry from the violence and stupidity of themselves and others .. if so .. those nations and their citizenship are nothing but forms of slavery and cowardice .. and when it's foes are much smaller and weaker than they .. nothing but schoolyard bullies .. when they exercise authority over others ..

not very surprising when Public Education/Indoctrination is the source of their knowledge ..

it is the duty of all the citizens of a noble state to defend THEIR nation or to be known to one's self and others as a coward .. and to those who would claim their beliefs prohibit them from trying to cause harm to others .. so be it .. but if they are to give substance to their beliefs .. they should be willing to stand at the front as "human shields" .. a testament to the strength of their FAITH "the substance of things hoped for .. the evidence of things not seen"

did you say secure YOUR property rights .. by the means of PAYED mercenaries .. the states soldiers, police and security forces ..

there is nothing more arbitrary and illusionary that property right .. beyond that which an individual can enforce by themselves ..

just ask the original indigenous inhabitants about the meaning of Property Rights .. or anyone else that has had their land expropriated ..
