Your Digital Trail

Remember Big Brother is watching you, and the public are so ignorant, they even watch an elaborate version on television, and think its funny...

I work 37 miles away, and I would say I see at least 15 cameras on the way to work, and they are just the ones I see. Privacy is non-existent, and ignorance is bliss.

This is something I hear often :

"It doesn't bother me, I don't have anything to hide"

Funny how this is a common view, I believe its after years of propaganda, bombarded at the public every time they remove a liberty. The next time you hear a news conference from the police about something they are doing, you will hear something like "The public are not to worry, if they havent got anything to hide". This has over the year subconsciously sunk in, and now our liberties and freedoms, 1 by 1 are being taken away, right under our noses, and like I mentioned, so close under our noses, they even make a television programme about it.

The Trail
Every time you visit the shops, withdraw money, use your credit card, use your debit card. Details are being stored about you. Police can request this information to trace your exact whereabouts everyday.

Store Cards
Your favourite shopping stores are encouraging you to sign up. You save literally pennies, in return for your personal data. Where you live, how far your taking your shopping, what you buy, what you want. For the stores, this means they can target you effectively, and make you actually spend more money through elaborate advertising and marketing schemes.

A police state
From my understanding, a police state, is when there are so many laws, you cannot possibly know all of them, thus you could be arrested for obscure, bizarre or unusual circumstances.

Answer this - Do you know every law? - Do you know your own rights?

Why are they doing it?
Well its obvious isn't it. Its a lot easier to control a nation, and it fits into my model of society. Someone is profiting somewhere. This is always the case. Even in charities (see another article soon).

I hope you found this interesting.

What you can do?
You can't be invisible on the radar, but you can do somethings to help. Destroy your store cards, and contact them, insisting they send you written confirmation that your details have been removed, threaten them with legal action if they do not comply.

Many thanks
