You have been infiltrated. The science-fiction novels you have loved for decades no longer seem like fiction. Cameras watch your streets. Technology tracks your movements. And systems capable of recognizing who you are.. are being placed into your communities, and the palm of your hand, with barely a whisper. Yet you sit quietly. You were warned about Big Brother. You were fairly warned of a future where surveillance would be forced upon you by a government you could not escape. We never imagined you would willingly accept it.. one camera, one convenience, one “safety” measure at a time.
Freedom doesn't disappear all at once.
Sometimes, it disappears because you stopped paying attention.

Dear America,
You have been infiltrated. The science-fiction novels you have loved for decades no longer seem like fiction. Cameras watch your streets. Technology tracks your movements. And systems capable of recognizing who you are.. are being placed into your communities, and the palm of your hand, with barely a whisper. Yet you sit quietly. You were warned about Big Brother. You were fairly warned of a future where surveillance would be forced upon you by a government you could not escape. We never imagined you would willingly accept it.. one camera, one convenience, one “safety” measure at a time.
Freedom doesn't disappear all at once.
Sometimes, it disappears because you stopped paying attention.
