Biometrics, the Prison Within -- TripWires, Totalitarianism, and Technoids

Some time near February of 2012, Wikileaks, which is is presently enduring its second week of ongoing DDoS attacks, had begun releasing millions of hacked Stratfor emails, i.e., the Global Intelligence Files. Over the last few days, newly analyzed content from those emails involvingTrapWire has begun surfacing around the Web.

Responsibility for originally acquiring the emails has been attributed to Anonymous. As the name should indicate, the identity of Anonymous — aside from occasional arrests or confessions — is self-described. It seems inevitable that many, including even directly-opposing groups and individuals share this name. Failure for certain agencies to exploit such an opportunity would require improbable strategical retardation. For this reason, Anonymous productions should be given the benefit of their name unless otherwise verified.

Regardless of who Anonymous actually was at the time of the Stratfor leaks, some interesting information has certainly come of it. For some who pay special attention to this field, it is not so much a surprise as it is an affirmation. Surveillance is a very popular sport amongst our frightfully feisty overlords, but not so much for their subjects. They generally advertise it only where it will encounter the least amount of angry pitchforks.

Perhaps it was the same Anonymous that produced the video below — a video quite beautifully, but depressingly putting the colossal surveillance empire we now face into perspective:

Note & Warning: This time I’m not going to make repeated disclaimers about all the “good guys” out there. They can stand-out on their own, and hopefully they will, as does the fellow in the first video. Also, the majority of the content within every video here, is disturbing. If you have anger management issues, or act impulsively, please click here immediately and stay there. If you are highly sensitive, click here now. 

Occasions like the one in the video below are not nearly as rare as you might think. For many (obviously not all) officers, the only thing discouraging such behavior is the chance of getting caught, which is, you could say, nothing to gamble on.



Consider these headlines too:

Minnesota Man Brutalized by SWAT Executive Officer for Talking Loud on Cell Phone

Such occasions, are far more common than Big Media will reveal; Big Media prefers to cover isolated events. So here’s a long compilation I found (while reading comments on inforwars) of more grotesque police behavior, with some astonishing reports [1]:
