Enjoy, get mad, say I told you so, :heh:

Much love to the UK Guardian!

I have a theory about the NSA's tracking the every move of everyone ... if they need to pin something on you, they have to know the places you visit to leave footprints in character and writing style that would convince the public , you did it , not them ...

You know what is interesting?

In the world of high conscience nothing is hidden and all that you ever think is revealed to ALL.
But being in high conscience you don`t worry about this because you tend that your mind is clear and loving one.

In dense conscience you are afraid because you are driven by fear and your thoughts are not tracked by your conscious mind. You have various "dirty" secrets that only you know...

Hence people are afraid.

Here`s the catch to be a member of higher consciousness realm, you need to let go of fear. You need to be an open book. You need to reside in Love so you will not have anything to hide nor everyone else would.

So is this a training exercise for all here and now to see where we will go?
World of fear functions in darkness and gray area. Secrets upon secrets.

We will have to understand that we need to grow up. You know the feeling when your mother catches you up (when you were a little brat) and you look for excuses but she just retorts: " Don`t lie to me child."

You then blush and ask your self how did she knew???

Source knows all. So fear not and grow up :)

I'm not afraid, but I am furious...and it is outrageous, though not surprising, that the American MSM's focus is on where Snowdon will be sleeping tonight instead of the content of The Guardian article. :(((

Interesting quote from (former) President-elect Obama:

http://change.gov/agenda/ethics_agenda/

"Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."

(Mods...feel free to relocate this to a more relative thread? Thanks!)

If the authorities are all-knowing, how come there are so many criminals running wild, since many (most?) are too stupid not to leave an electronic trail of their misdemeanours.

Let's assume the Big Criminals are protected one way or another, but the guy that robbed your house, broke into your car or any number of low-to-medium-level criminal activities - how come they aren't all caught by examining all this captured data?

Either all this data isn't being captured in the first place, or it isn't being used, or there is so much of it that the authorities have to seriously prioritise who they go after. But trawling up hundreds of petty criminals would look good in the public's eye and bump-up the police clear-up figures. So why isn't it happening?
