When Paranoia Becomes Law

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In case you haven`t noticed, I`ve got a little habit here, on MFSP: I try to keep you posted with the Government`s absurd, abusive decisions. Not to bring you down. Not to convince you to pack your bags and move to Peru. But because I want you to know what to expect, in case you`ve missed it on the news. I want you to be prepared for anything. Because that`s what this site is all about: preparedness.

Unfortunately, it`s been pretty hard to keep up lately. Things have been changing at a fast pace, bills have quietly passed far away from the media or the public, Obama has been playing the dictator again and the justice system has been bringing human rights organizations such as ACLU to their knees.

But here`s the detailed list of events, so you know what other rights you`ve been robbed of silently:

#1: The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is finally getting updated!

Now, before you start doing the victory dance, wait till you hear this:

“Techdirt’s Mike Masnick posted a new draft and analysis of the CFAA expansion bill on Monday. The changes are nothing short of outrageous and should brand supporters in Congress as out of touch and downright hostile to the Internet. Users concerned about Internet rights should contact their representatives immediately.” (eff.org)

As absurd as the CFAA may have seemed so far, the update proves that it can get even worse. Even though members of both the US Senate and the House of Representatives said the legislation is too strict and needs adjustment, Capitol Hill lawmakers have decided to (once again) dress up as fanatics who believe the Internet is Satan`s work. Honestly, I can`t find any other explanation for this madness.

“A discussion bill being passed around would actually make the CFAA even stricter, essentially allowing the government to go after a multitude of not-so-malicious computer users and sentence them to lengthier prison stints than what’s already on the books.” (rt.com)

Guess who`s behind all this? That`s right, it`s Obama again:

#2: Obama’s cybersecurity plan: Monitor more of the Internet

I strongly believe the president has one answer to any problem. Terrorist threats? Surveillance! Cybersecurity gaps? Surveillance! Healthcare issues? Surveillance!

Now, he wants to protect the state against cyberattacks by monitoring the entire private sector. Judging by the failure earlier this month where they had to take down online databases because some chinese kids kept entering their system… I don`t know if “monitoring” the private sector will increase security or just the opposite. So far, it looks as though our cybersecurity systems are made of jello lego bricks…

But that won`t stop them from gathering all your data and keeping it FOREVER, even though hackers all over the world have successfully entered secret governmental databases:

#3: CIA plans to keep information forever

That`s what the CIA Chief Technology Officer stated just a few days ago:

Technology in this world is moving faster than government or law can keep up. It’s moving faster, I would argue, than you can keep up. You should be asking the question of what are your rights and who owns your data.

(…) The value of any piece of technology is only known when you can connect it with something else that arrives at a future point in time. Since you can’t connect dots you don’t have … we fundamentally try to collect everything and hang on to it forever.” (reuters.com)

So he shamelessly talks about questioning “what are your rights and who owns your data” and then acts as if the American citizen is nothing more than a “connect the dots” game. And if the dots seem just a little bit suspicious… you may just get quickly thrown into prison for as long as they want to:

“During his speech, Hunt stressed that the CIA will collect information on individuals thought to be America’s enemies, evaluate it quickly, and act on those assertions”. 

And that`s not all! Here`s my favorite part:

You are aware of the fact that somebody can know where you are at all times, because you carry a mobile device, even if that mobile device is turned off.

You’re already a walking sensor platform – you know this, I hope? Yes? Well, you should.” (rt.com)

Why, thank you for bringing this to my knowledge. Thanks to you and your buddies, my phone is now my LAST problem. I`m being surveilled at home, on the street, at work, on the bus, on my personal computer… soon I`ll be monitored from the sky and even on my instant chat!

Using the phone excuse as a precedent to play the Big Brother is NOT legitimate and it does NOT stand as an argument! But when paranoia becomes law, terms like “legitimate” and “argument” suddenly become old-fashioned, leaving more room for the irrational to set in and reign the land like a senile, decrepit monarch.

Behold our future:
