Anything the government does not know about you by now is absolutely inconsequential. From John and Nisha Whitehead at rutherford.org:
“Big Brother is Watching You.”―George Orwell, 1984
2024 is the new 1984.
Forty years past the time that George Orwell envisioned the stomping boot of Big Brother, the police state is about to pass off the baton to the surveillance state.
Fueled by a melding of government and corporate power—the rise of the security industrial complex—this watershed moment sounds a death knell for our privacy rights.
An unofficial fourth branch of government, the Surveillance State came into being without any electoral mandate or constitutional referendum, and yet it possesses superpowers, above and beyond those of any other government agency save the military.
It operates beyond the reach of the president, Congress and the courts, and it marches in lockstep with the corporate elite who really call the shots in Washington, DC.
This is the new face of tyranny in America: all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful.
Tread cautiously.
Empowered by advances in surveillance technology and emboldened by rapidly expanding public-private partnerships between law enforcement, the Intelligence Community, and the private sector, the Surveillance State is making the fictional world of 1984, Orwell’s dystopian nightmare, our looming reality.
1984 portrays a global society of total control in which people are not allowed to have thoughts that in any way disagree with the corporate state. There is no personal freedom, and advanced technology has become the driving force behind a surveillance-driven society. Snitches and cameras are everywhere. People are subject to the Thought Police, who deal with anyone guilty of thought crimes. The government, or “Party,” is headed by Big Brother who appears on posters everywhere with the words: “Big Brother is watching you.”
Not only does the government have the ability to spy on people it built an enormous facility in Bluffdale, Utah to be used to store and scrutinize the data and keep the data until it is time to use it.
Their computer programs flag anyone who travels certain highways too many times and decides that someone needs to investigate why the need for travel. It won’t be difficult to place people into fifteen minutes cities and demand to know why you are out of your ‘area’ and send a notice that you need to come in for some questioning.

We are all Winston Smith now shredding their moronic kindergarten coloring book horsesh1t scripts.
This was required reading in senior year of Red State HS and Animal Farm was introduced in sixth grade by a great mentor Mrs. C (h/t) at a montessori school.
So thankful my dumb azz got to attend both and I guarantee those books are not in the contemporary rainbow bathhouse Marxist EDU curriculum.
This just in from the Misfits:
