Analog to Digital to Conspiracy?
From our Guest Blogger Munika
Update: The date for the conversion from analog to digital for all television sets has changed to later this summer. According to Brooklyn’s nightly news they moved the date up because more than half of the population is not prepared for the switch. I don’t think I’ll be prepared ever, now what?
Every since September 11, 2001 I no longer subscribe to deceptive American propaganda. I now act like a paranoid veteran. I constantly feel I am being watched, listened to and tracked. Don’t get me wrong, I love my GPS system but I officially had to park my car when Bush decided oil was his personal fundraiser. I love traveling but if I find that biometric chip in my new passport I will take it out myself! When the discussion of the mandatory conversion from analog to digital comes up, I cannot help but beg the question “Is the transformation for better viewing of my habits?” Jill Scott warn us in 2000 with her song Watching Me ” …Can I get that democracy, and equality, and privacy…”? Can we? Be prepared for the switch on February 2009.

need to think about it
Its interesting but I think by being paranoid about Big Brother has become a pastime of some. I honestly believe the ability for the government or whoever to look into our lives is not determined by some computer chip but has existed for generations. Does this enhance that capability perhaps but I think more than anything it offers for greater debate. Try staying off the grid its almost impossible.
Dip that passport (cover) in water for a good ten minutes. I heard that will deactivate the chip.
Are you serious?!
good tip
If you like that then you’re going to love the new concept that DARPA and others are working on that will allow someone to “read your thoughts and emotions” from a distance via infrared laser.

No, I am not joking.
because, afterall, an optimist is just someone who’s not in possession of the full facts
maybe the rating will become more accurate and black watched shows will last longer and get more advertising…oops…let me wake up!
LMAO!!!!
what switch?? SWITCH?? that switch been flicked on, kid!! er’body gonna get them chips. i bet if you try and get rid of the chip it will void what ever the chip was embedded in. watch Zeitgeist 1&2, Fabled enemies and/or Loose change parts 1&2 and open your mind up.
