How Governments Seek To Get Back Control |

So the UK Government has had its way on banning smoking in all
enclosed public places and places of work. This ban was carried
through on the grounds of ensuring a safe working environment
for all employees across the country. This ban applies
everywhere except of course the House of Commons itself. One
would presume that this is because it is not open to the public
and nobody works there! This is just another example of the
hypocrisy of our government; 'Don't do as I do, do as I say'.
'You do not know what is good for you but We do'. You cannot
have a wage increase or it must be restricted because it is not
good for the economy; however we will vote ourselves a very
large increase because we are a special case', and so it goes on.
They also got their own way for the moment on ID cards.
Arguments on this have shifted from combating terrorism, to
combating illegal immigration to the current one of stopping ID
fraud. I actually had no idea that that there were millions of
people out there stealing each others identity. I suspect the
only people guilty of identity fraud are the members of the
government itself as they seem to take on a number of different
guises depending upon what they next want to ban or subject us
to.
I would suspect that the whole thrust of most of this recent
legislation in the western world is an attempt to regain control
over the population. In the past if you stepped out of line or
had a counter argument you were threatened with hell fire and
damnation. With the decline of the Church and its more modern
approach this line of control has vanished. With the immediacy
of communications around the world we all now know what is going
on at any moment in time. Consequently governments have lost
control of situations unless you happen to be in China!
There was talk of putting chips into cars so that there
movements could be tracked all the time. I do not know why the
government just do not forget about ID cards and go the complete
step and put chips into all of us. This would act as a means of
verifying your identity and have the added advantage of being
able to track us and our movements all of the time. Any body
visiting the country could have a temporary chip implanted. That
way the police would not have to stop you and ask for a card
they could simply scan you from a distance and if you happened
to be 'chipless' they could lock you up for 90 days.
Strange isn't it that it all started with the banning fox
hunting. I periodically feel I have had enough and should move
somewhere else, but where do you go? This seems to be like a
tidal wave sweeping across the whole of the western world and it
is impossible to stop.
