Extreme Paranoia
May 28th, 2011
(EconomicCollapse) – Have you noticed that our entire society operates on fear now? Everyone is afraid of everybody else. We are taught not to trust anyone that we do not know and that we should literally spy on our neighbors because they might be a threat. If you do not participate in all of the extreme paranoia that is going on then supposedly something is wrong with you. In fact, if you are not paranoid like everyone else is then you might be a threat. After all, according to FBI Director Robert Mueller, “homegrown terrorists” represent as big a threat to American national security as al-Qaeda does. But in the midst of all of this extreme paranoia, we have thrown common sense out the window. We are told that it is Islamic extremists that want to attack us, and yet we are so obsessed with being politically correct that the TSA will grope grandma, grandpa and all the little children they can get their hands on but they will allow men in full Islamic dress to walk right through airport security without even being checked. We will put up video cameras to watch schoolchildren eat their lunches and yet we are leaving our borders completely wide open. Thousands of real terrorists could be crossing our borders each day and we would never even know it. But this is what happens when extreme paranoia sets in – people (and governments) start behaving very irrationally.
Recently, U.S. Representative Paul Broun went through airport security and what he witnessed absolutely shocked him….
“I walked through there was right behind me there was a grandmother — little old lady, and she was was patted down. Right behind her was a little kid who was patted down. And then right behind him was a guy in Arabian dress who just walked right through. Why are we patting down grandma and kids?”
What ever happened to common sense?
The American people are constantly whipped into a state of fear by the mainstream media and so there is a never ending call for even more “security” so that we can all feel safe.
Meanwhile, the most basic things that need to be done for our security, such as securing our borders, are totally ignored because they are not politically correct.
Instead, most of the focus seems to be on keeping as many eyeballs on American citizens of possible.
U.S. Senator Ron Wyden made headlines recently when he revealed that the U.S. government interprets the Patriot Act much more “broadly” than the general public does….
“We’re getting to a gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says.”
That doesn’t sound good.
According to Wyden, “the government is relying on secret interpretations of what the law says without telling the public what those interpretations are.”
Isn’t that great?
Now the government has such extreme paranoia that they won’t even tell us what the rules are so we won’t even know if we are breaking them.
Have you noticed that everything seems to be “secret” these days?
Everywhere you turn someone in the government is claiming that “national security” is at risk for one reason or another. The American people are being increasingly kept in the dark about everything because we cannot be “trusted”.
Secrecy and extreme security measures are now equated with patriotism.
Recently, U.S. Representative Ron Paul gave a speech on “The Patriot Act” on the floor of the House of Representatives. The following is a brief except from that speech….
Our Presidents can now, on their own:
*Order assassinations, including American citizens,
*Operate secret military tribunals,
*Engage in torture,
*Enforce indefinite imprisonment without due process,
*Order searches and seizures without proper warrants, gutting the 4th Amendment,
*Ignore the 60 day rule for reporting to the Congress the nature of any military operations as required by the War Power Resolution,
*Continue the Patriot Act abuses without oversight,
*Wage war at will,
*Treat all Americans as suspected terrorists at airports with TSA groping and nude x-raying.
And the Federal Reserve accommodates by counterfeiting the funds needed and not paid for by taxation and borrowing, permitting runaway spending, endless debt, and special interest bail-outs.
Does that sound “patriotic” to you?
America is becoming a much different place. The truth is that even if we give up all of our liberties and all of our freedoms we will still be extremely vulnerable to outside threats.
Do you really want to live in a society where there is very little liberty or freedom? That is the direction America is going. We may feel slightly safer, but we will cease to be Americans.
Recently, I wrote about the growing “big brother” control grid going up all over the country on The American Dream….
Do you want your children and grandchildren to live in a futuristic “big brother” control grid where everything they do is watched, recorded, tracked and tightly controlled? Well, that is exactly where things are headed. We witnessed some really bad totalitarian regimes during the 20th century, but what is coming is going to be far more restrictive than any of the despots of the past ever dreamed was possible. Today, nearly every government on earth is tightening their grip on their citizens. Paranoia has become standard operating procedure all over the planet and nobody is to be trusted.
All of this extreme paranoia must stop.
Sometimes people will say something like this: “Well, I don’t mind if the government watches me or searches me because I have nothing to hide.”
The next time someone tells you something like that, do the following….
Pull out a chair and set it down six inches away from that person. Then sit in the chair and stare directly at him or her without moving. After a few moments that person will say something like: “What in the hell are you doing?”
In response, just tell them that they just said that they didn’t mind being watched.
The truth is that none of us want eyeballs on us 24 hours a day.
Our founding fathers included the Bill of Rights in the Constitution for a reason. The Bill of Rights is there to protect our most basic liberties.
If we allow those liberties to be stripped away in exchange for a little bit more security we will only have ourselves to blame.

According to the internet:
Definition of FREEDOM
1
: the quality or state of being free: as
a : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action
b : liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another : independence
c : the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous reedom from care>
d : ease, facility poke the language with freedom>
e : the quality of being frank, open, or outspoken nswered with freedom>
f : improper familiarity
g : boldness of conception or execution
h : unrestricted use
Definition of FREE
1
a : having the legal and political rights of a citizen
b : enjoying civil and political liberty ree citizens>
c : enjoying political independence or freedom from outside domination
d : enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another
Do we have the legal and political rights of a citizen? Do we enjoy civil and political liberty? Do we have freedom from outside domination? (In other words: are we free do do as we please with our own lives without having stuff imposed by us by outside forces? (jobs, governments, taxes, bank(loans), other debts, rules and regulations etc..)
Go take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this question.
I will be the first to admit that I am not free:
I have a job (I can't do what I want to do when I'm on the job, and if I quit, almost all of my monthly income is gone.
I have to pay income taxes, for which I can face a prison sentence if I leave them unpaid (which ultimately go to paying rent for loans the government has previously made).
I have loans to pay back.
I have a credit card.
I am subject to the laws of the country I live in (I can commit a crime without there being a victim involved, such as smoking marijuana [which I don't do, but just an example])
I can't just decide today that I'm going to leave my country and visit others for an indefinite time without consequence, and without having to request my employers to do so.
I am not free, are you???

I think of the monkey born in the zoo. The poor creature has never known freedom. It is fed every day, and its offspring are sold to other zoos. The poor beast is docile in its cage and does tricks for the zookeeper.
What if we have never known freedom and have been taught to embrace our bondage, to fight for it, even to worship it. What if we accept our cage as freedom?

We would be better served not by physically attacking the state or its sociopathic operatives, but in walking away from them. Our survival as free men and women requires a secession of our minds from the chains of violence.

Well, as long as we are bonded to this earth, we can't be totally free.
"What if freedom is a myth? "
I do believe that the indigenous people in the woods of Africa do have a life that comes very close to being totally free.
So everyone with an Arabian dress is to be considered a threat and an old lady can never do harm?
With RANDOM sample checks, there is a chance one will get patted down and another one won't. You'd rather have EVERYONE patted down?
What ever happened to common sense?

freedom :
no rules-no law-no common right or wrong-NO STATE-NO POLITICS-NO BORDERS-NO POLICE-NO MONEY---> you wouldn't like it... cause many of today's people would screw it up killing each other instead of really working together...real freedom would be death for many of us...cause we were raised in a world full of illusions,lies & metaphors

Its to late, all police now have powers to remove anyone from the street or enter your home at any hour.
The Black and Tans in Ireland, The Brownshirts in Germany, we have lost all our rights and they can do what they like..
People have stood by and let this happen, people will not protect one another, There was a case in the uk where a girl was being raped by someone yards from the bus stop and people there heard her screams and no one went to help, that says it all really.
We deserve all we get we dont deserve freedom because we failed to defend it when it was stripped from others, what about the freedom of Iraqis of those held at without trial or the innocent pakistanis being killed by drones.
The fact is we have said nothing because we think we are better than them and NWO thinks they are better than us, you sealed your fate now accept it.

If we keep speaking in terms of "them" and "we", will we all ever be free?
@Vertigo:
Freedom does not mean 'do as you like'. It means 'do as you like, without harming others'.

first: yea we would be free... cause thats just words dude... it depends on thinking...
second: no, freedom is living without anything/anybody telling you what u can/can't/have to do... in that case you're statement: do as you like, without harming others... would be you're free decision, but i'll bet even you would harm others in order to defend the values you choose to be worth it...

Freedom is a state of mind in which 'you' take all responsibility for your own life.
Than the 'must do's' and 'have to's' disappear and be replaced by choices (for instance: 'today I go to work because I want to')
The more choices you have the more your consciousness will expand, the more you will attrack or be able to percieve.
Basicaly you make the choice for 'love' (expansion) and not for fear (contraction)
At some point you may notice that things like culture, god and even science are all made up by humans, subjective, we only think of these things as true, think that it can bring freedom / safety and so on.
All of this is not truth, it's only as we are, only as we think we are.
So you can start to take absolutely nothing personal, nothing for granted, no need to prove or disprove anything, just experience, personal experience, only answers.
This may lead to absolute freedom.
Governments have no power, that's why they will ad infinitum try to get power by using force.
History proves that none of them succeeded in the long term.

Svaha the Wise. Well, Vertigo, I'm happy to announce I fully agree with you on those words being right on the head of the nail.
