If you live in a free and democratic nation
you may rest easier
knowing that a totalitarian regime won't come
knocking on your door.
But journalists Christians, aid workers and
world in places like China, North Korea and
the Sudan are not
as fortunate they are routinely abused arrested,
tortured and
even killed for their seemingly innocent and
innocuous actions.
The people in Hitler's Germany and in Ceauescu's
freedoms could be squashed or that they themselves
could be seen as a threat.
Could such a thing happen in other nations
or here in America surely our information
is safe with our elected officials and were
protected by our constitutional rights.
If everyday citizens don't stand up for their
rights then a big
government will take more and more of their
rights away from them.
Everyone should be concerned about this because
this affects them, it affects
us, none of us is exempted from what's happening
in the world today.
This affects our lives, our children and our
grandchildren's lives and
if we really care about anything anybody outside
of our own skin,
if we really care about other people, about
society, about our nation,
about the world we'd better take an interest
in what's going on.
So if your phone calls, your letters, the
contents of your home's, the contents of your
automobiles, the contents of your computer's
are open to surveillance by the government
or by private entities who share that information
with the government then I think it's
going to be very hard for most people to be
free in the way they live their lives.
If we get to the point where the government
is watching everything we do then we're going
to see some serious erosion of our civil liberties
our right to assemble peaceably,
our right to free speech, our right to free
religion, free practice of the religion
of our choice, all of these rights are going
to be eroded through these technologies.
The saying is if you put a frog in cold water
and
then you put the heat on the frog he will
gradually
warm up so he won't know to jump out so he
will be
boiled to death because it's such a gradual
thing.
Now I don't know if it's true with the frog
but I can pretty much
tell you it's true with the population and
I'm watching it happen.
We're in a situation now where technology
keeps
clashing with privacy and society keeps ending
up in
this take it or leave it situation and what
we really
want is for society's to enjoy the benefit
of the
technology as well as have privacy the ability
for
Google to be able to tell everything about
you and the
house you live 202 00:41:38,998 --> 00:41:42,198
the ability to watch you on the street, to
monitor
you I can understand the reasons for Great
Britain
setting up the camera spy systems that they've
set up
but if used incorrectly it can destroy you
and of
course computers are another thing that government's
want to control and they have the ability
to do
that in communist China you cannot use a computer
without the government knowing what you're
saying
and who you're saying it too and what you're
up to.
The founders of this country understood that
sure there were bad guys but
they also understood that if you give the
executive branch, if you give the
government this sort of arbitrary unbridled,
to cease than you are really inviting tyranny
and the abuse of power.
The America that stood for liberty and personal
freedom that
peaked probably in the fifties and sixties,
no longer exists.
Most of us have taken comfort in the law,
constitutional
protection and that's out the window we are
no longer
governed by the Constitution as much as the
people think
they are but that's been shredded and no longer
operative.
There is a faction within the country that
believes
the constitution's a living document and because
it's a living document presumably you can
torture
it until it says whatever you want it to.
The truth and that's leading to a socialist
environment
and will ultimately lead to tyranny and so
to those
that love freedom it's an end of an era the
great
experiment that was once America has been
prostituted
by special interests the environment is the
cover for
the real objective of sustainable development
which
is to change our system of justice and change
our
system of economics to a system of social
justice.
You can talk to most judges in America today
and they will proclaim themselves to be agents
of social justice well there's no concept
of
private property in a system of social justice.
So what is being done is our whole foundation
for the American
experiment is being undermined with this environmental
move.
We all want to promote those good causes but
the real
question is how much bare are you really getting
for the buck are we really making a difference
or are
they just trying to get more surveillance
power.
You're going to see increasing encroachments
on freedom
of speech and it takes some interesting colouration's.
In the press you can say what you like against
Christianity no
problem but you say a peep against Islam and
you get clobbered.
In our schools they'll teach Islam but you're
not allowed to teach the Bible.
This is a unique political experience in all
of human
history and in the future of humanity really
depends
upon the political recognition of every individual's
unalienable rights and that's what's wasting
away.
Increasingly in the name of fighting illegal
immigration there are arguments that daily
activities basic activities that are required
for just living should require an ID card.
Whether it's getting a job whether it's renting
an apartment,
whether it's visiting a doctor and ultimately
I think
it's whether it's going to a store and actually
buying
food and so you see this kind of writing on
the wall.
Right now there's an employment database held
by the federal
government that they want all employers to
run every
single person applying for a job pass this
database to
make sure that they have legal status in the
country.
For many years I've been concerned about the
long-term
likelihood of a free world for my grandchildren
and my children and now I'm very worried about
it
for myself because things are accelerating
so fast.
One of the big concerns that I have is that
if
you get to the point where everybody's carrying
RFID tagged items whether it's a driver's
license
whether it's a tagged jacket whatever it might
be then that all it would take for the government
in order to round people up or put people
on a
watch list they could just put an RFID reader
in a backpack, they can blend in with the
crowd
mill back and forth walk among the the protesters
or the gathers or the people in the Church
or the
