As the human race progresses (if you want to call it that) with technology there is always someone who wants to create a new way to obtain, record, analyze, and use this info for the purpose of monitoring the population. A researcher named Kris Pister had a thought about being able to create what some call a type of nerve center for the planet. It’s called “smart dust”. This is a device about the size of a grain of rice that can record real time info and transmit the information back to a central location for the purpose of analyzing the data. If this were to be only used for good, honest reasons it still would not justify deploying this material around the planet. You would need hundreds of millions of these devices to obtain enough information to be useful enough for justifying their deployment. Each unit will contain a power source (battery) and the ability to transmit data. So now you are walking around and stepping on hundreds or thousands of them and how long before these devices begin to break apart or find their way into our water systems and pollute the environment. What we don’t need is more sensors placed around the planet for research purposes. What we need is rationally thinking people whose ideas that aren’t motivated by greed or the lure of power. Since this device is currently being developed one must consider what the military industrial complex will want to use the “smart dust” for and on the flipside of this coin what will the intelligence community use this device for?
Let’s look further into the future and see what has become of this technology. It is important to understand that with current technology every four years our sum total of all knowledge we have accumulated doubles. It is safe to say that in twelve years these little grains of “rice” will be able to do much more and will be almost impossible to see. Unfortunately this is only the tip of the iceberg in regards to technology designed to track or obtain data. I.B.M. wants to put sensors in every possible location on this planet. New cars will contain a “black box” to record every second of your use of an automobile. What real benefit will we gain from this technology for “real time” analyzing of data to help us? We did not need this before so why now? The truth of the matter is that there is not a real need for real time data. The benefit does not out way the fact that trillions of these devices will be spread all over the planet. So ask yourself why would there be a need for this technology?
No where to run, no where to hide is a phrase that is becoming eerily accurate. Privacy will become a thing of the past. In every major city on the planet you are virtually on camera every second when you go out in public. I understand the need to make our environment safer but isn’t that why there is law enforcement agencies? Why have we gotten to the point where we have to have video surveillance to feel safe? There is a breakdown somewhere in the system that has spawned the need for millions of camera’s to be placed everywhere and the breakdown did not come from the law abiding segment of society. The simple fact is that since 2000 most law enforcement agencies have concentrated on revenue generating practices instead of fighting violent crime. That is still the focus today as well as looking for the “domestic terrorists” that are in the U.S.
We have become our own worst enemy. Our fears have taken over our ability to process thought rationally; we have been blinded to what is unfolding right before our very eyes.
Sadly I fear that war looms in the near future with the coming economic crash. This time it will be equivalent to a commercial jet liner getting slammed to the ground from wind shear effects. A designed failure so that a recovery is impossible in order to further the agenda of those striving to dominate all of us. Have we passed the point of no return? Yes. Technology has all but guaranteed that we will become servants to the powerful and mega wealthy. History proves this over and over. For the common person money and politics are a fatal combination if left unchecked and allowed to become unbalanced as it is today. Can one not see that the elite of this world care not how we feel or what we think, only what benefit we pose to them and how they may exploit this to their further increase their power and wealth? We the common people are like the sucker fish clinging to the mouth of a predator shark looking to gorge itself. In all this time we have not learned that we need only ourselves to determine our destinies. Our lives have been made complicated by those who wish to keep us in a perpetual state of confusion in an attempt to keep and consolidate their power and wealth. We are fed bits and pieces of fragmented, distorted truth each night when we willingly sit down for our dose of propaganda by the mainstream media. Until we learn that the truth is being hidden from us we will forever be trapped in this endless cycle of insanity we call life.
Will the dawn of a new age be the event that sets us free from tyranny or will we continue on the same destructive path we seemingly cannot break free from? Our future is still up for grabs so what will we do? Be safe be free.
