I am very grateful for the existence of certain prescient internet cats. Certain internet cats keep us sane.

And here is what yours truly wrote in 2015, not realizing it was about to happen: "As a very irregularly-shaped human with zero Google-readable nanoparticles running through my bloodstream and no desire to put Google in charge of my immune system ever, I have no reason to be excited about their idea of my future, and no reason to buy into their carefully worded, self-serving publicity bullshit."

In Australia, they call your phone and you have something like 10 min to respond or receive a $2000 fine. In S. Korea a bot calls, and then a person if no response then they show up at your door but not sure what happens after that.

A few 1984 quotes come to mind:

“If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”

“We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.”

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”

You forgot the most poignant:

“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. ”

Great response. I live in the Netherlands and my hubby’s aunt lives literally across the canal from the achterhuis. There was a new movie out about her before our latest lockdown, but people needed to show papers to go see it. Not everyone is completely blind, but the aunt in question certainly is and she’s not alone. People never learn. I am going to steal your one liner.

I am proud to say I was vehemently against the Patriot Act as a young, newly politically aware adult. And yet my voice did exactly nothing. Same old story.

Or, in the worst cases, apparently the sheep think that the authorities will come for them only when they've done something wrong. They seem unable to conceive of any circumstances where a sacrificial victim (sometimes literally) is required and they are simply a convenient target of opportunity. Reading accounts of early Soviet Union and, no doubt, many other dystopian periods of history, are very instructive.

First they came for the Freedom Lovers, and I did not speak out--

Because I had nothing to hide.

Then they came for the conservatives, and I did not speak out--

Because I loved safety and was not right wing.

Then they came for the business owners, and I did not speak out--

Because I did not own a business, besides I had nothing to hide.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

And now under their care I can't hide anything and have perfect safely.

I don’t exactly believe that. But the sole power they have over us is our own shame and fear.

The novel wasn't too bad. I don't know if there's an award for having so many of one's stories made into blockbuster movies posthumously, but I nominate Phillip K. Dick. He was dying of cancer when one of the biggies (Blade Runner*) was in production.

*This was probably a case where the film was better than the book. At least the title certainly was. Somehow, I doubt it would have had the same success if it had kept the title "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" 😏

That was unhinged tin-foil hat conspiracy theory stuff 6-months ago - how sweet that the proletariat believed that this was simply to gain access to have a nice sit down coffee. Now add in digital currency and whoopee, we're hooped. Like in Queensland (I think) the noveau authoritarians can actually go into individual's bank accounts and recoup unpaid fines, just like that. So when did our idiot leaders cross the rubicon and decide that the CCP model of government (so many oxymorons in there) was the gold standard? Beats me.

Oh come on. They wouldn't do that! That would be wrong! ;-) (Sarcasm if there's a few that don't get sarcasm). After all, I've heard for a couple decades now, "if you don't have anything to hide, you have nothing to worry about." (Hmm... that doesn't explain innocent people who have been arrested after "Alexa" or "Ring" recorded and reported something they said...) And, don't worry, "that won't ever happen here." (It's just a conspiracy theory)

I'm sure most of us here could go on and on and on giving examples of how doing something for convenience, "safety" or health caused the violence of the state to be pointed at an innocent person.

NO to passports. NO to "contact tracing". NO to "testing" for a disease you don't have symptoms for so you can be loaded into a database. NO to everything surrounding the agenda of the last two years.

Expand full comment

Hmm. That's more efficient that subpoena'ing location data from the cellphone companies/Apple/Google. I vaguely recall reading an article a year or two back where police where using that data to find devices that where in a particular vicinity where a crime happened. Wait, didn't the feds do that with cell phone data in DC for 1/6? Probably far more streamlined with the vaxpass apps as they are far more easily accessed by those in authority. Probably have a web interface for the goons to search with.

Expand full comment

Remember all those pre-planned "smash and grab" or other mass robberies/thefts that have happened, such as in California and Chicago? The authorities could probably get a good list of suspects without even leaving their offices, if they had access to license plate numbers at scene of crime, cell phone location data, and text messages before and during. They would likely have easily met the "probable cause" standard, have been able to arrest most of the people involved, and to charge them with many serious crimes. To the best of my knowledge, this has never been done. Not for the least reason is that the people doing the crimes are, well, nobody wants to prosecute them for reasons. What I describe has been technically possible for years, maybe decades. The occasional emergency use, such as to find a kidnap victim, supports that claim.

We are in the early stages of what can be called anarcho-tyranny. High tech yes, but very much at the discretion of the powers that be as to who will be prosecuted for what.

Expand full comment

Oh for sure. They used cellphone data and credit card data from BoA iirc to find those who had been anywhere near DC...and refused to do anything about the summer of love or the recent smash and grabs. That's because the smash and grabs are just broken windows in their eyes and not an insurrection or existential threat to our democracy/tm.

I overheard a Zelenko podcast where the lots on the vaccines contain different things. I think earlier Gato had something about how there were more side effects from different lot numbers.

Dr. Malone posted on that this morning. https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/how-bad-is-my-batch.
