From Michael Krieger at libertyblitzkrieg.com:
Cannataci says we are dealing with a world even worse that anything Orwell could have foreseen. “It’s worse,” he said. “Because if you look at CCTV alone, at least Winston was able to go out in the countryside and go under a tree and expect there wouldn’t be any screen, as it was called. Whereas today there are many parts of the English countryside where there are more cameras than George Orwell could ever have imagined. So the situation in some cases is far worse already.
– UN Privacy chief, Joseph Cannataci
The UN special rapporteur on privacy, Joseph Cannataci, pulls no punches when it comes to privacy. It’s hard to disagree with what he has to say.
From the Guardian:
The first UN privacy chief has said the world needs a Geneva convention style law for the internet to safeguard data and combat the threat of massive clandestine digital surveillance.
Speaking to the Guardian weeks after his appointment as the UN special rapporteur on privacy, Joseph Cannataci described British surveillance oversight as being “a joke”, and said the situation is worse than anything George Orwell could have foreseen.
He added that he doesn’t use Facebook or Twitter, and said it was regrettable that vast numbers of people sign away their digital rights without thinking about it.

Wasn’t sure how to contact you other than leaving a comment — Question for you — IS/Could the two-word solution he says be the answer? http://joemiller.us/2015/08/trump-identifies-cause-of-market-crash-delivers-this-2-word-solution/ #VoteTrump
Markets move on their own dynamics and politicians have little to do with it. By the time whoever is elected president in 2016 assumes office in 2017, the bulk of the stock market crash SLL has predicted will probably be over. The president will take credit for the ensuing rally, but it will have nothing to do with his or her policies. Robert Prechter is the leader in the theory of social mood, which has much to do with both stock market and political outcomes. He too has been predicting a big stock market crash. He has published several books about the Elliot Wave dynamics that are the basis for his predictions. I would recommend the latest edition of his Conquer The Crash as not just a good introduction to his work, but also a source of invaluable advice about how to protect yourself during the coming deflationary depression.
