The time machine

What a year...gay weddings, brutal terrorist murders & reprisals to global conspiracy!

My thoughts on PRISM & have been put far more eloquently by others

Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. - Benjamin Franklin

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin

"People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people." ? Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

"When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty." ? Thomas Jefferson

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" - Wizard of Oz

"From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." -Orwell's 1984

Winston kept his back turned to the telescreen. It was ... safer, though, as he well knew, even a back can be revealing. - 1984

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live-did live, from habit that became instinct-in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized." - Orwell's 1984

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -Orwell's 1984

Shit he's whirling like a top right now.

'God ... knoweth all things." 1 John 3:20 maybe the NSA are tapping his phone!

Bet you never thought you'd live to see a day when David Ickes conspiracy theories came true ;-)
