One Bank of Power, Rule by Information


Nobody’s Fool: Consider:

A mother is sitting in a high school principle’s office. Her son has just been assigned into an advanced Algebra III class. He flunked Algebra I, yet the next year he was put into Algebra II. Of course, he flunked Algebra II never having passed Algebra I. The mother demands that the school principal tell her why the school has done such an idiotic thing as putting him in another class he is bound to fail. The principal blames the computers, but keeps him in the class and assures the mother he will be just fine.

Due to the state’s accounting budget, to get money, the school has to show so many bodies showing up in the more advanced classes. When the boy “drops” out of high school, they don’t report it for two years so they can continue to collect the monetary funds from the state for his name being in the system.

The principal is making a six-income figure for this act of information control.

That same woman goes to the store to get dog food. On the corner at the stoplight, she sits waiting for the left-hand turn signal, and stares, in disbelief at the huge camera taking her image not 12 feet in front of her. Until now, hundreds of cameras have been going up at every stop light…gigantic, megalithic poles have been put up on all the local highways, monitoring “traffic.”
But, this one scares her.

At her local bank, she is told she can no longer deposit her husband’s check anymore, without him being present every time, due to the “Patriot” act. She is forced to set up an online banking account, and now she has to transfer his paycheck every single week. She has been banking at this bank for more than three decades. Like the principal, the bank officer is being controlled by new “rules.”

She pays her bills by check, but knows that checks will be obsolete soon. She will be forced to pay her bills online, and she’d better get use to it.

Google can now see into everyone’s yard. Cars can be traced; cell phones can be turned on and listened to without you even knowing it. “Chips” are in our groceries and clothing. At the airports, face recognition and even “mind” reading screens will be gathering information on every single human who travels.

And one wonders just what kind of “chips” are in the new HD TV’s?

So ask yourself, next time you hear of some laptops being stolen---if we now live in a world where knowledge is the real true wealth, worth much more than gold, do you really think that all this information is being collected to protect the citizens of the United States?

Or is it for the power to control your wealth, your life, and your children’s future?
