That's the spirit!


I just finished reading the actual research paper. Interesting.

But if they never give you Fatherly advice on your minor wrongdoings how are you gonna learn from the wrong doings? :)

Not saying you do anything wrong but I guess the Agencies would say they only do their job if they monitor all of us.

Here in Sweden they keep such records for monthes or two years according to a EU directive. some countries has rebelled against it. Don't ask me which country. I try to not think about it. It is bad enough that Google knows every search I did about the UFO cover up and Truthers and whathaveyou to watch out for. David Icke and the Reptoid Lizzard conspiracy movement. No I don't believe in them but it is interesting that anybody can believe in it.

so now google see me as a lunatic reading about it.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

There are worse things than being considered a lunatic.
What if Google thought you were a Windows user? :wink:

The new conspiracy is not the collection of data
but the processing.

Here are some keywords that you might like to include in your online dealing
thereby ensuring spook coverage and interest
