I want to share Gilder's optimism v.v. future surveillance, but the people loathing something has not, historically prevented the rich and powerful from doing it anyway.
Take our forced entry into WW I and WW II for example. Both wars had people in the 80th or 90th percentile against U.S. involvement, beforehand, until TPTB initiated their false flag catalyst.
Sadly, I think they are at a level of power and smugness now, that they are going to just start dropping the pretexts altogether, especially as they are such poor actor/directors and people are catching on.
Good point Steve. It is clear that the American Revolution failed. Power has indeed concentrated in fewer and fewer hands over the past two hundred plus years. This notwithstanding the superhuman effort by the founding generation of Americans to divide the power of government and create a republic dependent on Christian values. It is really hard to believe where humanity is now that America is the hegemon of the world. I take solace in the fact that men like you continue to write and speak for peace and truth. Keep it up!
Thanks, Mike. I appreciate your taking time to reply and for your kind words of support. Glad others see what I am seeing!
TPTB?
