prism - we have an eye on you

So now the word is spreading that the US government using code-name PRISM has been accessing all online content with the complicity of google, apple, facebook, etc etc....... and my truther contacts are shocked/outraged & blowing hard about it.....however this should come as no surprise, and I predict that there will be even more sensational revelations to come...... I have said for a long time that the internet is not a www (World Wide Web) as much as an sss (Secret Surveillance System) - and in fact the US government itself has made the fact clear for even longer..see the illustrations below......not so much the "eye of the tiger" but the "eye of big brother".....  Above - a prism Below -  the triangle/prism on the  reverse of an American dollar bill has told us the same thing for a very long time...the triangle at the top of the pyramid on the reverse side of the US dollar bill is a prism, and inside that prism is an eye - simple isn't it?

What most of us internet users don't realize or fully appreciate is the extent to which our on-line activities are being monitored, recorded, stored, bundled and sold to advertisers (& other interested, and even more sinister, parties). We may be vaguely aware that "cookies" (activity trackers) are stored on our computers (which can & should be deleted in your browser's daily. I have recently enabled which, in real time, notifies you of other "trackers" of your activity & data -& will block such moles on request.

double-speak explained

At present we are witnessing the wharfies at the Port of Auckland in a bitter fight against casualisation of their jobs. The National Government term for "casualisation" is "flexible" - they put a spin on the concept making out that it will benefit the workers, when in fact this is the thin end of the casualisation wedge - what it will mean is that this system will give the employer the right to tell people when they can work. Workers will no longer be assured of a 40-hour a week job. This in the NZ Herald today....you gotta admire the spin the Nats put on it - but it's bullshit no matter which way you read it.

Thirteen ministers said their staff had accepted similar hospitality from the bank." source - radio nz  See more of my adbusting and culture jamming activities on www.culture-jams.blogspot.com
