Your Right to Privacy

It is amazing in this new age of digital dependence and insecure (digital) slaves how many people are unaware they have a RIGHT to PRIVACY, as it is privacy that ensures our personal identity and allows us to fully relax and re-charge in a world that is characterised by massive personal intrusions and the desire by corporations and governments for total monitoring/surveillance.

Notwithstanding the tragic insecure types that voluntarily surrender their privacy to large digital corporations like Apple, Microsoft, Google and Face/trace book etc I am happy to state that people are fast becoming disillusioned with companies that ‘own’ them for marketing and other purposes.

Need I emphasise that PRIVACY is a HUMAN RIGHT and is an innate human need? Perhaps an example would be appropriate.

As a young teenager prior to the digital revolution, I had a few friends over in my private space/room at family home. On this occasion my mother decided to burst into the room with a vacuum cleaner as a feeble pretext to intrude, needless to say her ridiculous attempt to intrude gave rise to much laughter from friends and me, so we continued our harmless banter and chatter. Realising the stupidity of the vacuum cleaner my pathological parent (an assessment reached later in life) began quietly dusting until she reached my chest of drawers upon which my wallet and other personal effects were routinely placed.

On this occasion, in full view of me and my friends, she began to open my wallet and inspect its contents unfolding and reading little notes etc; well, I didn’t bother to analyse her psychiatric behaviour I reacted with extreme offence and outrage at her attempt to make a statement that she ‘owned’ me as an ‘object’ not a person by willfully intruding on my most personal effects in front of my friends -- that was my initial encounter with an attack on my personal identity/privacy, one I never forgot. Most women should be aware of this form of perverse maternal pathology or need for TOTAL control.

Without being taught or indoctrinated in any regard I reacted instinctively to the intrusion as an affront on my personal identity and ‘blew up’ and ordered her out of the room. She laughed and left but I never forgot the insult or the affront to my personal integrity and attack on my identity.

My reaction was not premeditated it was spontaneous, arising from deep substrate layers of my being, the outrage I felt was new and very different to previous reactions to other slights I had experienced during the course of my life.

Now analyse what had occurred regarding her pathology to not allow any sense of personal identity, therefore real freedom. She had never learnt to let go of 'her’ offspring, which was naturally developing a separate individual identity -- I would add that things became far worse as she deteriorated mentally, the result being that I haven’t spoken to her in two decades; she has also been shunned by all her immediate relatives and her very few friends.

It was a great lesson for me even though I paid a huge price in the end, the woman expressed the same perverse sentiments of the Orwellian sick bastard types that today wish to implement total monitoring and surveillance of the global population for patholoical reasons -- so it is not only my challenged mother that is sick in the head!

The only people that fear the masses are people that exploit, deceive or abuse them and have much to hide, their paranoia, borne of exploitation and abuse, is the source of the clearly pathological/sick need to control and monitor everyone. Notice also how corporations attempt to sell the loss of privacy as a ‘natural’ consequence of the digital revolution when it is clearly an abusive premeditated intrusion. Do not listen to the liars and propagandists that say you can “forget privacy today, ” it’s simply a whopping LIE.

Our governments are entrusted to represent the MAJORITY and regulate all private enterprises that abuse their reach or influence, it is that simple. The people have been temporarily convinced that privacy is irredeemable when in fact privacy can be enforced by law and real representative government via regulatory bodies. Government surveillance on the other hand is easily controlled via political parties that favour the wishes of the people not corporations, so think before you vote and never vote for any major corporate-owned political party.

I was aware early that high tech monitoring and pan surveillance clearly had a very short ‘use-by’ date as people’s instincts would win out even over the insecure need to have digital (fake) ‘friends.’

Today we are witnessing the emergence/reassertion of an innate human instinct and it is making itself felt in every social space where privacy is threatened. People are realising without any external influence that privacy is a necessary FREEDOM. The sociopaths that fear freedom and fear the population will no doubt continue to do their utmost to convince us that the loss of privacy is ‘natural’ and that we must face our ‘impotence’ even though the people are the most powerful social force on the planet -- who are 'they' trying to kid? Personal freedom has never been successfully suppressed for long, history bears witness time and again.
