| 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.
