Big brother Is Watching TV |
The Grassy Knoll Institutes believes much more is at stake. Why would the government, strapped for cash, issue rebates for the cost of the converters to the millions of households that require one? Because the government wants something from us. The government has an ulterior motive.
The analog to digital conversion is merely a guise to allow the government easy access to the privacy of almost every American home, apartment, business, and social establishment. Beginning at midnight tonight, the converter boxes will begin emitting a signal allowing viewers to watch their sets. The converter also has another purpose. It doubles as a listening device permitting the government to secretly eavesdrop on your family conversations in the privacy of your own home.
Don't think that's possible? Don't think it will happen? Think again! It's happening already. Take notice of the camera's installed on city street corners monitoring city traffic and citizen movement. Did you ever get a speeding ticket in the mail? From a speed camera trained on the highway snapping a photo of you behind the wheel along with your license plate? Did you ever wonder how your GPS map locater works? How it can pinpoint an exact address or location from thousands of miles away? Or government employee's monitoring your every keystroke on your computer to ensure you aren't planning to blow up a building? Or how the TV networks know how many people really watched one of their programs? The TV digital converter is merely the next step of Big Brother usurping even more freedom and enacting more control over it's citizens.
I will leave you with a warning from a 1960's television science fiction series,
The Outer Limits. It now seems prophetic.
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.

You have it all wrong. Its not the government. Its me. I am now controlling the minds of millions of people and soon my brainwashing will enable me to take my rightful place as ruler of the world.
ReplyDeleteYou betcha I am watching everyone of you and I will know all your dirty little secrets and I will use them to create the best reality series ever.
ReplyDeleteIf your watching, how does Lost end next year.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder about the listening devices the FBI has installed all over the place. The tv is just one device to add.
ReplyDeleteI knew you were the cause of the hellish reality shows cropping up, but mind control, that spot is reserved for the Thought Screen Helmet aliens.
ReplyDeleteRead the curator's Lost updates, it's all in there, including the end game.
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!
ReplyDeleteThe gov't knows everything about me via the Internet, social security numbers, credit card transactions,health records, taxes, etc., and now what I say about watching Fox vs CNN. cest la vie in the 21st century. PS http://blog.getrealinontario.com/index.php/2009/06/12/pfeiffer_s_law mentions you in a post.
ReplyDeleteI see no reason why the U. S. of A. should be any different than what is already happening, Big Brother-wise in the U.K. . I mean both of the countries start with "United"! lol
ReplyDeleteAlso...
I mean, isn't that whats done with prisons? Ya gotta keep an eye on the prisoners don't ya? Ya gotta keep the "goodies" out (Canada, Mexico). Its the next logical progression. lol
And it looks like it's a serious site at that which makes it all the more funny.
ReplyDeleteAlas, we were being watched long before today. Those cell phones we carry are very handy to keep tabs on your whereabouts.
ReplyDeleteI agree. You are a genius XTAP59..... :D
ReplyDeleteSeriously, everything we type on the computer is logged in and if we hit the magic key words, we will be monitored.
ReplyDeleteBomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.
Nothing happened! Everything works the same as it it. Just another Y2K crazies running around stirring up trouble.
ReplyDeleteHole, didn't say the world would end, or machines and computers would cease to work. Merely stated that the government now has another way to spy on it's citizens.
ReplyDeleteI can see FOX airing a new reality sitcom next season, Big brother is watching you. Watch, it'll happen next season.
ReplyDeleteWhat, and cancel Rock of Love 2, Daisy Delahoya? Slanderous!
ReplyDeleteDo you really think the American government is really watching us through our tv.s, then you are nuts.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, they recorded your keystrokes and are building a profile on you and where you surf, what you comment on, and what you say in your comments. You're in big trouble for your last comment buddy.
ReplyDeleteAnything backed by the government needs looking into. They are not doing all this and spending all this money for nothing.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right. The government is not making this conversion just so we can better pictures on the TV. They have an ulterior motive.
ReplyDeleteWhoever wrote this is an idiot, or whoever LOTGK really is I should say. You don't even know what a Nielsen box is? That is how TV networks know how many people are watching their programs. I actually started thinking about LOTGK article and assertion, but then when I realized LOTGK is so un-educated that he/she does not know about the Nielson ratings system, I discredited him of everything he said.
ReplyDeleteAhh, excuse me Twilight Tracer, but it is you who did not realize that this is a humorous site. It is the home of the 99 cent conspiracy theory. We make "Light" of conspiracies and the people that follow them. You should really take a minute out of your busy Trolling duties and look at the blogs content before you spew chunks all over the Internet. Perhaps this will save you at least one iota of street cred.
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for being fooled, and for reading, and for commenting. And most of all, thank you for entertaining me.
:D
You are whacked. Dont you think people would know about this and complain. This doesn't happen here.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think we are doing here right now? We know whats happening, we are getting the word out. Get in on the ground floor.
ReplyDeleteIt took a very long time but I am in it for the long run. You have all been offered clear evidence that I now control your television transmissions, your Internet connevtions, and cell phone wifi. Case in point, Donald Trump will be the most powerful man in the world in just a few more days.
ReplyDeleteMicrophone drop.
Your logic is impeccable. We are all in grave danger.
