Purpose of Government or why bother? A brief assessment: It has a big eye. Cameras are everywhere we look recording. Everybody is watching everybody else and being watched. It has one big eye. It has a big ear. Listening devices everywhere and being used by everybody. Much of it being recorded. It has one big ear. It has a big mouth. Constantly streaming at us via unstoppable media of various communication types influencing our thoughts where "Truth" is but mold cast for us to conform to. It probably even does your thinking. It has one big mouth. It has a big memory. It is "Wired" for informational flow to travel into memory banks, to and fro as needed, and pooled into central data banks that exist in a place where time doesn't matter. You pee your pants in the third grade and it may never be forgotten. It has one big memory. Now, strange as it may sound, citizens need "Tags for Life" for this all to work and tie together. The advent of all this requires a "Universal Identifier" as a crucial link for some developing entity that does not really exist except in the minds of shady men in the shadows with access to large Data Banks pooling all sorts of information that only certain eyes are allowed to view. In this place, critical access of large portions of the population can be analyzed, studied, and dealt with as may be required for the System's Survival. After all, every system has built in conditions to not go down no matter the cost. And generally a good thing for such a collapse is usually devastating to large blocks of people. But back to the Tag of a Universal Identifier to number every man, woman, and child as a link to the pooled memory banks on citizens. Which is a critical tool in whatever the purpose of it all happens to be at the time...into a place where time doesn't matter to the image being created. Real or not. When the SSS Number was devised, in the 30's I think, there was great concern in the land. There was fear that the Number might become some sort of cradle-to-grave Number tied to you. Congressmen voiced these fears. The Public received full assurance that each citizen's SSS Number would be a closely guarded secret and only used to keep track of your taxed income invested and earned towards retirement. This Identifier Number was Protected By Law: The Privacy Act of 1974, Section 7 (a) which reads that no governmental agency may deny to any individual any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because of individual's refusal to disclose his SSS Number. And plainly written on the card were instructions we were not required to show this Number to any agency other than the SSA. And on the actual card printed across the top in big letters was, "NOT TO BE USED AS AN ID NUMBER." This began eroding almost out-the-door. And soon enough: "If a business asks you for your Social Security Number, you can refuse to give it to them. However, they may not let you make the purchase or give you the service you are requesting without the number." -Mitch Fuemmeler, Branch Mgr. SSS Administration Now considering the purpose of all this, if it has any, were is all the money we payed in as an investment of our future and the future of Mankind? The Systems Data Banks are all flowing yet the investment of any future at all has seriously dwindled. Sold out by our congressional servants for the purpose of self-gratification of personal wealth for the wealthy leaving the nation and its citizens deep in debt to the point of bankruptcy. Wealth for the wealthy while the poor pay or get out of the way seems to be the purpose of it all. Snake City, in my assessment, is but a big den of corruption. Mankind Almighty, we need a new plan...a new way. Mankind needs to give birth to an idea that it may exist. Great God Almighty! Anything but that. So I rest. Anyone have any thoughts...maybe what a purpose of government really is or should be? I mean good God of grief, It's your freaking World! * a little of this is not plagiarism but a brief review of Vance Packard's book: The People Shapers. More a brief meeting of Minds in a place where Time doesn't matter, than anything else. A different kind of memory data bank but it has powers of reasoning within itself.
