Yes! All the cameras feeds, visible to everyone at any time. I wonder how long that would last before ‘They Who Know Best’ decide that its far too risky and scrap the camera idea all together.

Cameras may be obsolete with the introduction of compulsory ID cards anyway, they’re talking about putting RFID chips in them. All that would be required then would be receivers in every lamppost. Of course you could get someone else to carry your card around so as to provide you with an alibi which is when it will be decided that in the interests of public safety the chips should be implanted under citizens skin at birth…

Think of a shepherd watching over his flock to protect it from being eaten by wolves. Now think of what the shepherd does with his flock… he eats it.
Watched, catalogued, monitored, and corralled. No longer people, no longer individuals, nothing but a resource, farmed for its ability to produce wealth for the farmers. Makes me sick.

When are we going to wake up to the fact that in the current economic and political system we are nothing but a herd, a resource to be exploited so as to increase the wealth of others. The cameras, ID cards and other measures are simply means of monitoring us so that the greatest cut of our production goes to the farmer and not the wolves. The evidence is there if people would only see it. The propensity for the state to use ‘more taxes’ as a cureall for every problem is so transparent its unbelievable that no-one has picked them up on it. WE ARE BEING FARMED!!!
