You’ve probably heard some form of the phrase “History always repeats itself.” If that is true, then what kind of history are we on our way towards repeating?
Some news came out again this week featuring stories which are not new, but appear to become more frequent and mainstream each time they are reported. Today there are two stories which you may want to read and research for yourself:
1) microchipping of the population:
Maybe you have not heard about it yet, or maybe you are already totally aware of this trend. More and more jobs are requiring each worker to be microchipped and follow other security measures in order to hold their job. From the UK:
“Met officers to be ‘microchipped’ by top brass in Big Brother style tracking scheme”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=558597&in_page_id=1770
“Every single Metropolitan police officer will be ‘microchipped’ so top brass can monitor their movements on a Big Brother style tracking scheme, it can be revealed today.
According to respected industry magazine Police Review, the plan – which affects all 31,000 serving officers in the Met, including Sir Ian Blair – is set to replace the unreliable Airwave radio system currently used to help monitor officer’s movements.
The new electronic tracking device – called the Automated Personal Location System (APLS) – means that officers will never be out of range of supervising officers.
But many serving officers fear being turned into “Robocops” – controlled by bosses who have not been out on the beat in years.
According to service providers Telent, the new technology ‘will enable operators in the Service’s operations centres to identify the location of each police officer’ at any time they are on duty – whether overground or underground.”
How much information should be collected about each one of us, and who has the power over that information? Does it matter?
2) training youth for a future job in law enforcement
With so many jobs moving to places such as Mexico and India, there does appear to be one business sector which is alive and well in the US. What is it? Well, if many new US charter schools have anything to say about it, it’s careers in future law enforcement.
“Charter schools will focus on Homeland Security”

“The first high school dedicated to preparing students for the front lines in the Nation’s homeland security has gone from theory to planning in Wilmington.
The Project Manager for the Delaware Academy for Public Safety and Security, New Castle Attorney Thomas Little, signed a contract with Innovative Schools, a professional firm which will coordinate the mechanics of preparing the school for its eventual opening.
The process to find and fund a site for as many as six-hundred young men and women in Wilmington’s inner city is underway.
Curriculum choices for students, who are to be called Cadets, range from SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) through prison guard, water rescue, paramedic, fireman, professional demolition and emergency response operator, according to a Board statement.”
A question that comes to mind is: With this new boom in law enforcement and other related industry jobs…What will all these new people and jobs be working on? What will they spend their time and efforts trying to do? Are there so many criminals and terrorists that we need new waves of enforcement officials and agencies? If so, how many are needed and what rules or laws will they follow (or not have to follow)?
What kind of society are we building for ourselves and our loved ones? What does the evidence show? What does your common sense tell you? Are we moving towards spreading freedom, or spreading bondage? Knowing that words do not necessarily translate into actions…What words are coming out of our leaders’ (be they spiritual, political, etc) mouths versus what actions do they put into play? (And furthermore: what are the practical results or outcomes of their words and actions?)
Are we seeing this one world government coming into view? How much control and oversight should be allowed? Or should there even be a limit?
What do you think?
