Seems that some people are claiming that Homeland Security will be telling you what you can and can't get from your bank safe deposit box should there be a crisis.  Interesting datapoint in favor of the home safe.

Maybe Feds are part of it.

Connecticuit decides that no internet user has any expectation of privacy by the very act of signing up for ISP service.

"In many ways the Internet is the 21st-Century version of the first printing press; it constitutes a technological development that greatly increased the capacity of individuals to communicate with each other," Klau wrote in a memorandum filed in the Freedman case. "Consequently, the Court cannot underestimate the threat to freedom of expression posed by unrestricted government searches of Internet screen names."

Apparently Batman's major villin by 2039 isn't the Joker anymore.

It's the government.

Batman versus the State
B.K. Marcus

Libertarian comicbook writer Paul Pope is at it again.

The creator of the famed 1998 comic Batman & Mises has now written Batman: Year One Hundred.

Is the Dark Knight battling Nazis again? No, this time his target is Police State America!

According to the current Wired magazine,

    The series is set in a high-anxiety future, where totalitarianism has nearly snuffed out the remnants of humanity. America in 2039 is a police state, individual liberties have been curtailed, and there's a dark sense of impending doom. Roving police squads, Blade Runner-esque floating vehicles, and robotic watchdogs scan the skyline... A distressed-looking Batman is the only person Big Brother fails to track, and the superhero's mask symbolizes the last hope against a corrupt government encroaching on individual privacy.

If anyone here is still paying their taxes after this, for shame.

These thugs must be stopped.

I was kind of getting at how they start enforcing their will.  Often a dictator has to destroy a pre-existing government by force first.  Notable exceptions being Hitler and to a lesser degree Mussolini.  Once the mechanisms to correct authoritarian behavior have been neutralized (majority control of Senate and House?  lapdog Supreme Court?) , anything goes.

Involuntary public iris scans may be coming soon.   I suppose the next logical step is outlawing wearing sunglasses in public, similar to the UK's ban on masks.   Pathetic.

Suggest folks who live near Bellows Falls boycott the town. Let their Police Dept. know it is because of the cameras.

The movie is really good -- this stuff has been going on for a very long time, I'd say since the mid-80's at least.

These are not just American soldiers performing these drills, there are foreign soldiers in on it too from many countries.

I've been an avid shortwave listener since the early 80s and they had all the dirt on this, the implantable RFID chips, IRIS scanning, foreign troops on our soil, and the rest, 10 years before anyone in the mainstream ever talked about it.

Sunglasses won't help unless they also happen to filter into the infrared range. Most cheap sunglasses, and many expensive ones, do not, or don't sufficiently. See the pictures.

Your best bet is to keep your eyes closed.
