A lot of people had read the book 1984 by George Orwell. George Orwell was a writer and seemingly a visionair. George wrote about dictative systems that control people in every possible way. The system used there is called Big Brother.
When you mention these things towards people, they instantly recognize what you are telling them. They read the book. Sadly, when you mention that these things happen in real life, not many people recognize it. Why? We are already being controlled!
Currently every big-brother-ism is being driven by MONEY. You will see that the music-industry is lobbying very hard to take actions against revolting people. They do not wish to see the market, which seems to demand lower pricing of materials. Free is a viable alternative, reducing prices will increase people buying the goods, and will lower the amount of people that are “illegally” downloading copyrighted materials.
But the music industry isn’t the only group that is doing this. The US of A is demanding free access to -every- banktransaction within Europe. Why? Because a so called threat against the US of A. Your transactions will be logged and insightfull for the US of A, and when you come to visit the country for some reason, they will look into what you are doing. Why? Because they can!
I just mentioned the EU Government. The total idea of controlling a massive amount of people and land. A lot of countries like Ireland, the Netherlands and a few others where AGAINST the deal. People in a democracy voted NO. What happened? The EU leaders rewrote the name of the beast by calling it the European Treaty, and blowing away all people that resisted. EU Leaders wanted this to happen, they rewrite things where we are watching. A nice link to the 1984 book, where George wrote about leaders rewriting history to tell that someone didn’t exist, or some revolt didn’t happen. It’s happening right under our face and nobody is heavily revolting into it!
In the Netherlands the “government”-elite decided to bring in the OV-Chipkaart, which is a chip which you can use to travel with public transport. The chip logs every entry and exit within the public transport. Giving full access to agencies and people that pay enough money (or “have good reasons to view the system, as it is called legally”) about the whereabouts of the card holder.
It goes on… they are also considering “Kilometerheffing”, which is something that will have a box in every car, registering where the car is, every second of the day, and pricing the usage of it. It will again give full access to interested parties about the whereabouts of the car and the person in it. EU regulations are currently talking about enhancing this information with an automatic dial-112 procedure which is being used to report accidents etc, and allowing people to break into the car it self. More and more control over people.
Interestingly for both the publictransport chip and the kilometer heffing there are viable alternatives. We used to travel by a papercard, which is being stamped and deducted from your account. The papercard worked for decades! Everyone understood what was needed, and was a fair system. if public transport is becoming more expensive (which is the case with the chipcard eventhough the government lies and states that things will not become more expensive, like they said with the EURO, prices have doubled or tripled for most common goods since the introduction!), the price should be raised. That will meet resistance ofcourse, but would allow the system to keep working.
Beyond that, fuel prices makes sure that someone pays by usage, in the future electricity will be used for powering cars and fuel-demanding items, and you can charge on usage there as well. If you are using more then X amount of electricity, you will pay more. Like with the payroll tax, if you earn 100.000Euro’s, a large part of that will be in the 51% tax rate. If you earn 1000Euro’s, you will pay a maximum of 20% (or whatever the lowest scale is!), or even less if you are below the set rates.
Additionally, there is the electronic patientendossier, a file about hospital visits etc, giving the interested parties, like possible employers, full access to the medical status of an individual. vision that you are solliciting on a job, the employer reads your file, and tells you that he cannot give you the job because you are a great risk. Somehow the data was altered stating that you had HIV in the past. Same goes for medical treatment and the insurance, they can deny access to common-goods because something is written in the file.
The above is all being driven by money and “democratic” control. In the past Russia would have killed millions of people to get this information. Adolf Hitler would have given infinite resources to get this information, being able to massify the holocaust even more, because it’s easy to trace people with this. In the past these things where being held by governments etc because the collective-memory (something from 1984 again) was still remembering the wars, and what it caused. But slowly and surely, these things are being forgotten, technology advances and the democraty countries are being turned into police-states. You are guilty unless proven differently. You are no longer in charge of your country, you are a slave of your country. You are living in a dictative-regime. Why? Companies need money, do not want to get to the future, and invest in alternative ways on getting new funds.
People are naive, they believe what the government(s) tell them. Not many people see the urgent threat against their lives. They were afraid of Adolf Hitler and Joszef Stalin, but they do not recognize those faces from the smiling people in front of the camera’s, which are actually doing exactly the same!
It is time that people start revolting against these actions. IF we do not do that, 1984 WILL become very very real. Getting afraid? Good, because this threat is real!

Edit: added the following information:
I just read an article from one of our ministers (Ter Horst), she said that she is happy that the people in the country are only allowed to vote for a new government, and nothing else. It had been quickly ‘corrected’ by someone later on, but I think this exactly hits the spot:
http://www.spitsnieuws.nl/archives/buitenland/2009/11/ter_horst_minarettenverbod_bed.html, yes the article is initially about something else, but that’s an entirely different topic.
