Control By Stealth: Governmental and Corporate Snooping

IMPORTANT FACTS

OUR CITIZENS

MUST KNOW ABOUT

GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE

IN OUR POSTMODERN SOCIETY


There is an inverse relationship between governmental surveillance of the citizens and personal privacy and freedom. As surveillance increases, freedom and privacy inevitably decline! Yes, total security demands total surveillance! Would all our private moments -- eating a slice of breaad, drinking a cup of black coffee, reading a book, writing an essay, making sweet or passionate love to a woman, sleeping on a bed, listening to a favourite song, watching a good movie, taking a shower, SHITTING, URINATING and thinking about a current event -- be sacrificed? Who, among us citizens, would agree to such sacrifices?

Even without being a totally repressive regime (like the autocratic and authoritarian Singapore Government), the individual liberties of the citizens can be significantly compromised! Certain vested interests will use concerns over security and efficiency to advance an unacceptable level of surveillance across the whole of our society! There is an obvious trade-off between security/efficiency and the privacy/autonomy of the individual. Powerful groups in our society will always advocate security/efficiency; and defenders of personal privacy must always remain at a financial and logistical disadvantage.

We face the danger, in the 21st century, of the gradual establishment of totalitarian forms of government within democratic nations -- with the use of modern surveillance technologies (to which we, as citizens, are all subjected) by the governments of the world. Disturbing questions abound: What are the possible outcomes of the implementation of such surveillance technologies? How much surveillance is too much? When is the cure worse than the disease? How much risk and inconvenience are we prepared to accept in order to preserve our liberties and our privacy?

We must, as citizens, confront these problems openly! Everyone in our society should! We should not lose the freedoms we now so cherish! If we don't stop surveillance-creep, we will get the surveillance, and the society, we deserve! Creeping government repression -- through the use of surveillance technologies -- will lead ultimately to the establishment of a controlled society. Some argue that such a possibility is non-existent. Are they prepared to betray, recklessly, all of our society's freedom? But for what?

In the same vein, Big Business has also owned and heavily influenced, via advertising and other pathways, a supine and acquiescient mass media. It inadequately covers, and often ignores, the reporting of abuses and of the erosions of our legal freedoms and rights by the surveillance authorities during the past several decades.

I'm not interested in a sham compromise between the surveillance government and its victims or targets. I'll challenge repressive legislations which creep, stage by stage, over my liberties! (Compromises? Making minor cosmetic changes? Ostentatiously shelving part of the political programme -- but intending to introduce it in stages, by stealth, later?)

I won't be neutralized in any way! On such a basic topic as my freedom, I will not hold "balanced", "fitting", "harmonious" and "effective" views -- just to compromise with the politically-motivatesd surveillance authorities. I will, in fact, deliberately and unapologetically hold "extreme" views -- to challenge and oppose the government! I don't care about the government's "concessions": I'm not duty-bound nor obligation-tied nor responsibility-conscious enough to reciprocate positively or productively to such "friendly" or "benign" overtures!

The surveillance authorities cannot be trusted, for their motive is not only to hang on to power but also to increase such power -- as its perpetuation will enable them to exert absolute and total control, eventually, over our society and to assert their unchallengeable superiority and dominance over all who come under their rule.

But, of course, they can't defend themselves against me -- against my public and open exposure, revelations and criticisms of their surveillance methods, techniques, measures, activities. actions, attitudes, plans and technologies. They couldn't in the past -- and they still can't now (and they never can in the future) defend themselves by relying on reasoned arguments and rational explanations. There will be too many inconsistencies, illogicalities, contradictions and ambiguities in their arguments and explanations. They will thus, as expected by me, knowing them all too well from my knowledge and reading of evidences based on past events -- as proffered in records (both official and unofficial) of our short history, continue to promote a climate of fear in Singapore and to instill more loathing of the government among our citizens (by manufacturing and concocting bizarre scenarios, interpretations, narratives and documentary "records" -- involving, possibly, the invoking of conspiratorial theories and the spinning of spy stories ) in order to give and maintain a "democratic" veneer for their totalitarian practices and rulership.

This is the reality of the current situation in our political and corporate system.

US Presidential Elections -- 4.11.2008

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA


SENATOR Barack Obama will be, I predict, in the coming US Presidential Elections on NOVEMBER 4, 2008, voted into the US Presidency -- as the first African-American Prersident!

Mr Obama, looking "inexperienced", has gained stature -- showing amazing stamina and strength. He is cool and steady! These are qualities we want in a president. He can grasp -- intellectually and clearly -- policy issues; he can focus, consistently, on a FEW strategic priotities.

Undecided voters will find his "intellectual" appearance likeable. (Yes, you don't drink beer with a guy like Obama!) After all, it is preferable to have someone who shows a clear understanding of complex issues as President, isn't it??

Yes, no American election since 1932 has had such a deep downside --of fear -- and such a high upside -- of hope! Yes, yes, Yes!

IN GREATER INTELLECTUAL AND PHYSICAL CONTROL & MORAL ASCENDANCY

The Future Is Ours To Fight For

(IN OUR SOULLESS, HEARTLESS,

MINDLESS AND CONSERVATIVE

SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY)


Do I, as an INDIVIDUALIST, suffer from "pomophobia" (fear of postmodernism)? Well, only those who choose to obscure the very facts of my lifestyle and my life-history -- on which the truth about my situation must be built -- can be so absurd as to ask such a question! Have they not been reading my blogs -- especially http://afighterandalovertoo.blogspot.com/ -- carefully, diligently and intelligently? Indeed, why should I "fear" postmodernism? Is it that intimidating and threatening as a historical force? No, I don't find postmodernism a frightening reality to be reckoned with. Even though I don't accept easily and unthinkingly what it means and represents to me -- as a man, human being, writer and citizen -- I can always contain and control its effects on me! I may suffer and be a victim of its anti-authorial and anti-individualist practices and activities, but ultimately I will triumph over it -- with my determined spirit and persistent resourcefulness!



I will continue to defend the integrity of the Western intellectual traditions against their detractors, attackers and critics -- in my regular blog postings and commentaries elsewhere in other websites.



The PAP government has been engaged in assassinating my character for a long time now. Its officers and officials have twisted and distorted my biography. And, most significantly, my love for Singapore has been unjustly questioned. Yes, it's time for these toadies and lackeys to suffer and face REBUKES (and continuing opposition and resistance) by long-suffering souls like me!



I may be poorer and poorer in my finances; but I am now getting richer and richer in my mind. I am becoming more powerful as a writer. (And I am achieving a more harmonious, balanced, fitting and potent sexual relationship -- for me, yes! -- with my current lover and girlfriend. I love her dearly and truly -- especially her loving gestures, in her kind and helpful responses to my carelessness and untimeliness! But it's still now a whole new ME! Wow!)

The Modernist Lover In A Postmodern World

A Man Like Me -- "Cheated" At Work And Play!


This is the latest report on the progress of my life as a man. My miserable sexual life has started to change for the better now--especially beginning from the month of September 2008! It is certainly a great improvement over the majority of my sexual experiences over the last 36 years. It is an exciting, challenging and messy time in my life so far! Yes, I've been making significant headway as a lover and writer.

In spite of my limited financial resources (a situation caused in no small way by my detractors and enemies from the Party), I have managed to come into close physical contact--reaching the stage of sexual intercourse--with numerous women (on no less than 14 separate occasions in September alone)! This has admittedly included the experiences of having sexual relations with prostitutes--an option which I'd been forced, by the Network (or Party), into exploring. (But what can I do? I'm forced to live as a poor bachelor who is still trying to earn a living as a writer!) Yes, this approach to achieving sexual satisfaction with women, of course, is easily accepted by postmodernists, but as a modernist and oppositionist myself, I'd rather find out for myself which of these options is 'true'--rather than uncover, or explore, as many as possible of such varied, but ultimately unchallenging, approaches to achieving sexual satisfaction with women. Yet, is this still not advancement of a kind? In fact, it is a vital breakthrough for me, as a man, human being, writer and citizen. My attitudes and positions on postmodernism, the Party, globalization, capitalism, and the imperatives of economic development (as heralded by the "New Morning" propaganda of the Party) are anything but mainstream or pro-establishment! Hence my difficulty--no, the impossibility!--of achieving full sexual satisfaction with women, in spite of years and years of my trying to do so!

But I have no illusions regarding this area of my life as a man. My detractors, enemies and electronic spies from the Party--men and women who are envious of my qualities; who feel sorry for themselves; who are insecure, weak and deficient; who detest rock and popular music and songs; and, yes, women who pretend they are in "love" with me; who are prepared to tell dishonest stories (dismissing themselves as whores in the process); who try to, yes, "abuse" and "manipulate" me sexually; who express "romantic" feelings for me; and, yes, those who are anti-intellectual, anti-philosophy, anti-literature, and anti-history types; and men and women who become vengeful, petty-minded and intrusive postmodernists; and, lastly, those cunting and canting members of the Party--yes, those unprincipled and privacy-invading governors, rulers, officials and officers from the government, are not going to allow me easily to assert my full authority, power, dominance and superiority--based on their vital, unconditional and complete respect (and on my own self-respect) for my autonomy, freedom and independence! Yes, I do want love, but only from a woman that I love. Then I can have sex with her--with my strongest respect (and my deepest love)!

You can easily trace the unmistakable presence of my fighting spirit and resourceful being--as a human, man, citizen and writer--in the course of reading through all of my blog entries/postings in all my 3 well-established websites ( http://trainofmypresence.blogspot.com/; http://afighterandalovertoo.blogspot.com/; and http://wholecity.blogspot.com/ ).

"Nothing without labour," says the old VICTORIA SCHOOL motto. But I would reply, HERE AND NOW, IN THIS 21ST CENTURY (OF GLOBALIZATION, POSTMODERNISM AND SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGIES -- as I have discovered and learnt), based on my actual personal experiences and knowledge -- including the knowledge gained from the wide and deep reading of the great works of the Western intellectual tradition, and on my own personality and character, as well as on my beliefs and principles. values and convictions, that this is ULTIMATELY the TRUTH : TRUE -- BUT ONE NEEDS TALENT AND INGENUITY AND STUBBORNESS TOO -- TO SUCCEED IN LIFE!


May you become my SUPPORTER, ADMIRER, HELPER, READER, SYMPATHIZER, FRIEND AND DEFENDER --if you aren't already one!

Those who know must scream. Intellectuals or anyone who can contribute need to speak up. They've got to scream when they see areas of injustice. But there is a price to pay for this kind of work.

The "Productive" and "Loving" AUTHORITARIAN Leaders and Their Flunkeys

TO BE FREE:

MY STRUGGLE AGAINST

AUTHORITARIAN AND

AUTOCRATIC OPPRESSION

The Singapore Government and its employees--enforcement agents, ISD goons, MSD lackeys, spies, intelligence and security officers masquerading as "journalists" and other flunkeys and toadies--are always trying to put their own words into other peoples' mouth! They twist and distort what their critics and opponents say and write--with impugnity! What fucking affrontery! I hope LKY, his useless son and the rest of the Singapore Government conmen die soon!
