How many people are paying attention? I fear most people are too busy eating chemical meals, watching Propaganda and talking on their superphones about nonsense.

We have been heading in this direction since 9/11. The Patriot Act has it’s companion in every NATO country.
Journalists have been targets for much longer than the years following Sept. 11, 2001, but yes, it is getting worse and they have the technology to do it better nowadays, unfortunately.
Sleepwalking into global totalitarianism.
Indeed so.
Hmm…always figured my brain would get me thrown in prison. Not immediately, I suppose, but I’m sure it’s not far off. What the hell else can such a list be for? And how far down the ladder will they go? All the way, even to a peon like me, I’m sure. Because I have thoughts and opinions, and a desire to try to understand the world around me. Yeah, and that won’t gel with the powers that be…the ones who will put themselves in the position to define “fake news” now.
This is a phrase I don’t say lightly because I tend to question how much a certain all-powerful being actually deals with human beings when there’s a whole universe out there, but I have to say “God help us all.”
It’s very concerning, to say the least.
