I feel if its bein claimed, then some similar technology is out there somewhere and bein tested.
Creeping socialism/fascism.
This should about sum it up.
Hold it up to what we know to be happening and see if you too can spot the similarities. Sure, on its face it doesnt sound bad the way its presented by politicians and media. They dont call it fascism. Read the book Philip Drew Administrator. See if any of that sounds familiar too. Especially when "some" say the wealthy among us should pay higher taxes, "like me".

Most dont know about this stuff and think I'm dreaming up conspiracy theories again. Most often the response I get is "I dont care, I dont pay attention to the news and politics, I dont vote anyway because politicians will be politicians no matter who they are and what they say". Thats not actually a literal quote but paraphrased from several different conversations.
Anyhow, we who pay attention are now the bad guys with our hate speech and what not, rascists as well I'm told, as I've been called such even recently. We are the ones being profiled. The face of the terrorist has changed. No longer does anyone look at the wide eyed guy wearing a turban carrying some sort of box with wires sticking out of it. They look at guys like this now;
