Unfortunately, over the last what, 50 years? we have developed the government that we, as a worldwide people, seem to have wanted. Well done us.
I think you're seeing it wrong.. It's a GOOD thing FOR .gov to have itself watched "all" the time, because it's not watched "all" the time, but people believe it is.

Furthermore, with interpretations generated by people who have equally as low a skill for interpretation as the next dude on the couch with his coveted bud light, what's seen isn't even remotely close to what's being explained.

It's a smoke and mirrors game, to be early 1900s about it.

The real question is WHY is that their favored modus operandi? What is the truth behind it all?

Well, one thing is clear ... they are blowing this thing more out of proportion then anything I've ever seen within my lifetime. Seriously, they are up to something here. Now, to figure out what ...
This is all leading up to the takeover of the world by Cthulu, with the aid of the Free Masons, Illuminati and the Church of Scientology. I thought you already knew that, it is the only logical conclusion given all the evidence.

Yeah, but I know kung fu ...

Oh, and don't worry about anything, next thing you know you will be oppressed beyond anything dystopian authors could imagine ... I wonder what you'll do then.

Oh, and more on the Ukraine:

Also, some sources suggests that the deaths were actually caused by pneumonic plague (more dangerous than any supposed swine flu):

Yeah, like Hangdog said, in about 8 months we can resurrect this thread and see whether Obama has turned the USA (and the rest of the world) into a military dictatorship.

Is this still doing the rounds? I thought that this had been thoroughly debunked, particularly since the doctor who first claimed this in the Uk has now backtracked and said he was completely wrong about it.

It's ironic that people who don't share your worldview are called sheeple, particularly since you seem to believe everything Glenn Beck, the teabaggers and Faux News says without question.

Could you elaborate on that statement a little bit?

Really ? I can't say that that's true. I've met many people there and well, they are usually no less brainwashed than anyone else ...

Although they did tell me of this atheist guy who must have cracked or something. They said he was yelling at people in a conference and asking them how they can believe. Anyway, as you can imagine, they put him down quick. I tried to find out who he was so maybe I could calm him down a bit, but I never found out. That's the only possibly different person I almost met in Texas. I've also lived in many cities in Texas, so you can't say it's just one city.

Goodness, and I thought I was fanatical, maniacal, paranoid ... why Cthulu ?

I'd much rather go with Sauron over Cthulu. I don't like squishy squid / jelly like things.

Nothing personal, it's just that I've met many individuals from TX (and elsewhere) who seem to obsess over the list you posted. That's just an example, actually I was also thinking about my general impression from previous posts as well. So.. you probably have plenty of like minded individuals out there.

You're not supposed to like them - I rather thought that was the point.

I figured as much in that regard, but I was hoping you'd elaborate on the impression you've developed.

It's applicable to many areas of my interests.
