KGB and stasi would go into houses and place "bugs"
American ingenuity was using "bait" with such service as Facebook and cellular, so people would wilfully accept the spying device and carry it 24/7

U.S. spy agencies do that too.

That is a genius phrasing and summary of the current situation. Fantastic and quite funny.
Brevity too.

The never-ending selfie craze, courtesy of the internet, makes it painfully obvious how prevalent narcissim in developed society is.
It's as if millions cried out at once, hey look at me, and were suddenly silenced when they realized that nobody cared.

Actually that has been positive. With our own cameras we can watch the police (gestapo) and provide evidence that the police are acting outside accepted parameters, and thus protect the people. It has made such a difference. In the past the police would get away with their bad behavior.

We can film the regular police yes, but can we film the secret police?

Yes, but surreptitiously.

It's been even more productive with police wearing cameras or in vehicles providing proof that protects the officer. Although in some sad cases the identity of the murderer of the officer.

The weather associated with 1984 appeared like an elephant, or multiple elephants, the symbol of a demon commander, such as ... Both an elephant on land and a whale in water are giants and symbols of ... Cold fronts notwithstanding

Have you ever questioned anything ...
Clouds seeded with metallic elements are sensitive to electromagnetism
Why in the lightning map of the US is Denver, CO a hot-spot, at the same time being the airport having demonic artwork and secret underground buildings.
WHY was the president in Denver when the last asteroid came close?
WHY are the recurring themes in the clouds (recent storm for instance was an angel blowing breath over the central US. Here, on twitter[^]

To the monopolized mainstream media, anything that goes contrary is a "Conspiracy theory", and shaming tactics are employed. 600 years ago, this mechanism was called heresy and employed with same tactics.
In discourse it is sufficient to be outraged and shout "conspiracy", no need to actually refute.
If microsoft had a monopoly on all media, Java and apple would be called "conspiracy theories" too
|

Whoa, this actually sounds reasonable.
Some "conspiracy theories" are probably true, because of that tactic. But which ones?
Anything involving demonic-anything sounds awfully fishy though.

Pardon me, but I am a conspiracy theorist and have a degree in physics. I have also lived and worked with spies, still keep in touch a bit, and know that many conspiracy theories are quite valid.

It is good to find a pearl in the slops you throw out, here.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Yet he failed to predict that brainwashing would be completely unnecessary in the face of the public shaming from the thought police.
