This, ultimately, is the point of globalism: to control everything. I know, let’s connect everything to the internet, that will be so amazing. My person will be connected too, through RFID – and my pets.

I’m sure it’s progress for someone, somewhere – to be “things of the internet.”

For those orchestrating this madness, the mantra will be something like, “I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”

Strange fiction, this (virtualized) reality.

It may be that the companies own the intellectual property of the software, in the same way that when I buy a book the author retains the IP of the text he wrote, but when I purchase a device expecting a certain behavior or certain features, it is disadvantageous for the company to willy nilly change those behaviors or features. I want to have the control over these aspects of my property.

For them to willy nilly share my private information without my permission or knowledge is just as evil as when the banks did it.

If they keep it up, I may become an open source fan.

The one thing about Trump (and I thought so before the election) he will play to the tune of those who put him there – well, more than say those in Congress. This is being born out by how well congress has supported his initiatives – which bears credence to your argument about the left and right (politicians).

And all this before her IMO required reconciliation with the laws of the United States of America that she has sooo blatantly broken. Her, Comey, Lynch and all that surrounded her must be reconciled with the law.

Could she be attempting to prolong her relevance in the political realm to run out any statues of limitations? Do not be surprised if that is how this all lays out to the convenience to the Congress and their not having to deal with it. But that will only go so far.

The Robert Zimmerman referenced in this article has been a long time Democratic operative, who appears on tv and radio to push their agenda. He is definitely a different person from the person (me) who runs BtB, though there have been some funny moments when tv networks have contacted me when they want him.

So if I understand, what you are saying is through evidence or actual history in your opinion you agree with my contention. Some people refuse to recognize actual evidence, I think that is called “Normalcy bias”. Human nature where individuals are unable to “see” or understand what is plain because it is beyond their ability to explain or reconcile it with their reality model.

I make no distinction between Left and Right in government and their potential to 1. Be Amoral and 2. To be corrupt and abuse their power. Anything can be justified by leadership if it is determined to be essential to an established and rationalized essential agenda. ANYTHING.

Government, the entity government which is populated by human beings, is by definition Amoral, it is an agree upon convention and a concept so IT can not have morality. Your points about the Left are without doubt accurate, the end results of their flavor of philosophy is slavery and total state control and destruction. But again, I make no distinction between the Left and the Right, why? Because they are populated with human beings and there can only be one result from the exercise of power by human beings, abuse and corruption. Abuse and corruption that has no bounds if it can be justified in some manner related to essential survival.

Doing an internet search showed many different Robert Zimmermans. There can only be one RZ Behind The Black!

Interesting that Trump may be the only one excited about Hillary’s book and tour. While the Dems seem not to like the 2016 loss being regurgitated, there will be some that eat it up as the gospel truth.

Phill O:

So if I am interpreting you properly, in your informed opinion, government (Any government) is capable through its natural condition which is to be corrupt, to go to any length including murder to fulfill its perceived necessary agenda.

Please refine or correct my interpretation if you feel I have gone too far. Thank you.”

Seems history would support your comment! This end result is where the liberals in the world are leading us. The wall is down but the battle is not over between socialism and capitalism. Socialism starts by proposing what is reasonable but never reaches that goal but goes in the opposite direction – according to history!!!!!!!

At some point in my life I woke up and changed sides. When I did, my lot in life got better.

So if I am interpreting you properly, in your informed opinion, government (Any government) is capable through its natural condition which is to be corrupt, to go to any length including murder to fulfill its perceived necessary agenda.

Please refine or correct my interpretation if you feel I have gone too far. Thank you.

How far will a government go? Well, the movie Conspiracy with Kenneth Branagh , showed (a true story) that it will make laws where the final solution is the extermination of millions of people based solely on race.

All left wing governments push the corruption farther and faster. Consider Hillary and Bill and Obama. In Canada eh, the Trudeaus along with Mulroney push the corruption big time.

The left right now with all the subversive action- the end result would be Venezuela.

What in your opinion will government (Any government) NOT do in pursuit of their stated and unstated goals?

Where is the line and who draws it? If the government can adopt an attitude that THEY indeed own everything and you / we just basically rent it from them, how far will government go it make that so in you opinion? And to follow up that question: How far would an essentially corrupt government go in drawing that line?

And keep in mind, my definition of government or the nature of government (Any government) is that from the moment government exists, from its inception, all it can be is corrupt, the only question is how corrupt, to what degree. It is the nature of the beast.

Would you, a former government insider, agree with that statement / definition?

Phill O: You are treading on dangerous ground here with your assertions about “Conspiracies” and government or corporate involvement in such. ”

The movie Conspiracy documents what actually happened. I have been in government long enough to relate to the tactics used in the Wannsee Conference played by Kenneth Branagh . I think this was the most compelling perfornce he ever gave. His playing of Gilderoy Lockhart maybe his second best performance.

Phill O: What the law on fossils does is cause all landowners to keep any fossil discoveries on their land secret”

Absolutely!

On this subject: I had dinner this evening with someone who operates in the non profit world in NYC. She used to be able to contract directly with the city. Contracts for educational / art programs “for the kids”. During the Bloomberg reign the model was changed, now huge corporations are created to receive these grants and they now contract with these smaller operations who they use as a front because they actually have the credentials and the big corps do not. (they don’t do the work, they just get to handle the money).

All that was done was created another level of bureaucracy who now receive the cash for the programs, they nickle and dime and not pay the credentialed providers and they also have a nice pile of the peoples money to donate to the proper campaigns. Now thats progress.

It can only end in a bad way, think California.

Phill O: What the law on fossils does is cause all landowners to keep any fossil discoveries on their land secret, even as they instantly destroy any fossils they find. This of course is completely counter to the law’s good intentions, but then, we all know where good intentions take us.

I just got back from visiting the Royal Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller Alberta. They have updated things and displays. To my dismay, the government now owns all fossils even on your own land and if they are found on your land, you must have the RTMP people remove them with your help for nothing! Like the legislation that removes your land from agriculture if an endangered species is found on it, what do you think this new legislation’s unintended consequences will be.

As to government making things the law, I advise everyone to watch “Conspiracy” staring Kenneth Branagh. This not only applies to government, but companies which use government to create laws which are amoral and infringe on private rights. The USA has enough loose canons but they will be outlawed soon. Somehow, there will be laws passed like the anti-bulling laws in Canada which really serve another purpose.

I don’t want to go all tangential on cars and the IOT, but for a amazingly Fascistic vision of the future with driverless cars: (It sorta looks Fun, but Big Brother is definitely driving your car for you.)
