This is a great video for discussion. Or is it? How do people feel about the extent of the surveillance going on, (if they were not aware of it to this point)? When you've followed it for a while, you can be overwhelmed as to the extent of it and the unbridled increases in loss of privacy.
So, you post here and your views and leanings, political and otherwise, are recorded. What is your reaction? Does it change your feelings of freedom and openness when expressing yourself online? Do you reconsider FaceBook?
Does anyone know what "thought criminal" means?

So, we are putting ourselves on the "pre-crime" list by fitting the initial screening algorithm criteria.
I guess that's one way to be an almost passive rebel these days. Not much but playing "the pen is mightier than the sword".
Keep in mind that, if more and more people use words and thoughts online that correspond in innocuous ways to the keywords and patterns that they look for, and I mean bombard the Net with them, it would really make it a lot more difficult to work their system. Something to think about.
Of course, that takes courage. We could test out just how many of us they are willing to focus in on for thinking incorrectly and how far they want to take that.

(976 posts)it is very well done and I think some one high up in the media world, maybe some one like Rachel Madow would be interested in at least watching something like this? Very Powerful. Peace.

Other videos at the site use alarmist language to state that Obama is going to put the US under martial law. Soon.
"Our flag is a way of reminding Americans, as well as our leaders, that every man and woman is sovereign and that we are all endowed by our Creator with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This sovereign Civil Flag is a symbol of our desire to return America to the dreams upon which she was founded!"
It represents Revolution by the people, and a shift in power towards those people, rather than an absolute entrenched loyalty toward the government and its military that is espoused in our youth and citizens today.

(46,262 posts)Should we take seriously the commentary from Faux "news?"
Alex Jones?
AM talk radio?
I noticed the video has been removed.
By the Youtube user.
No, I don't think it's all part of the Illuminati/Jewish/Nazi/Communist/New World Order "conspiracy."
More simply, even this guy decided it's bullshit.

(45,274 posts)Very interesting that it got zapped, though. It was a very well-done video with snippets ranging from Fox News to the Young Turks detailing the growing surveillance state. It had bits from Tea Partiers decrying Big Government surveillance to Occupiers decrying the same.
