Separating Fantasy and Reality
I've seen more TV over the past month, than I have for the past seven years. No joke. I've been watching everything but the news, and am seeing certain patterns emerge: eg, strong emphasis on supernatural occurrences, and references to spirituality and divine forces in many popular programs.
Since January 1, movies like Serendipity, Ghost, The Mummy, and Resurrection are getting prime-time viewing, and new movies like White Noise, and Medium are being hyped and released.
References to 'the all-seeing eye' alongside mentions of global politics are popping up: National Treasure, Seinfeld, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, etc. Even if some films or programs were made earlier (eg, Lara Croft is from 2001), they're all being shown now (see below).
Suddenly, it dawned on me: encouraging people's beliefs in 'unexplained realms' would be an excellent way to mask increasing public surveillance and privacy invasion.
People frequently dismiss my claims of surveillance as being mere 'coincidence.' My family tends to explain away odd or negative events in this way - despite my telling them that such strange and repeated incidents, knowing behaviours from people, and 'TV-sitcom' perfect timing can only be made possible through electronic surveillance.
(Note: Most of my relatives have no idea how political my writings are, so they find it hard to imagine I could be under government scrutiny. Yet Big Brother isn't just studying little ol' me - they're watching EVERYBODY, more and more...)
I believe close study of my family's responses - like the way they shoot down my frantic allegations of harassment - has made the government bolder and more creative in disguising their activities. Make something seem accidental or coincidental, and folks will chalk it up to serendipity - be it a computer glitch, power outages, misplaced or damaged items, runs of good or bad luck, a new love interest, you name it. It's like being in a Candid Camera scenario, except there's not much to laugh about.
Another argument people have is, 'intelligence agencies don't have the human resources to carry out so many activities.' (24-hour surveillance? Forget it!) I've discussed before how TV and movie extras, models, paid research candidates, hospitality staff, taxi drivers, youth, unemployed folks, etc, provide a wide range of willing actors and enablers. Never mind the brilliant, talented, and fully-trained plants they already use. You only have to watch a few TV shows to see how commonplace hidden cameras and body doubles are these days (eg, Sell This House, Life's Little Miracles), and how make-up, prosthetics, and masks can completely alter people's appearances. (Did you see the mug on Holly Jones' supposed killer? I have to wonder.)
To add to my conspiracy theories, here's a Center for Democracy & Technology article: 'ICANN: the Secret Government of the Internet?' Yes, governments and corporations can collude in controlling the internet.

Sidenote:
National Treasure and Lara Croft share many similar elements - eg, all-seeing eye in a triangle of light, exotic world mysteries, secret treasure trail - and both refer directly or indirectly to the Illuminati, a secret group believed to be controlling the world's currencies. Both films portray what some believe is an ongoing quest for power, money, and global domination in an almost spiritual light, then, render it fantastical. Yet startling historical artifacts do exist, and current events reflect increasingly large-scale agendas - be it 9-11, various wars, Monsanto, Echelon, what-have-you.
