AMERICAN STASI
The East German state security organization under communist rule was known as the Stasi. They were infamous for the number of informants on their payroll. A half a million by some estimates, several percent of the population. Now, as we all know, America would never do bad things like other nations. We would never invade other countries because they have oil, like those evil Nazi guys did. We would never use torture, like the KGB did. We would never put native born citizens in concentration camps like Britain did in South Africa. We would never practice genocide against natives like Spain or Australia did. No, we are mostest special. Pure of heart. So, we would never have an apparatus like the Stasi. All that electronic surveillance is never directed against anyone except evil towel heads or mafia guys or genuine enemies of the state that live out of the city and stockpile ammunition and food. Can't trust those slippery bastards. Why, before you know it they'll be agitating for Constitutional Rights, a clear threat to the Federal Reserve Bank, the large corporations and big government. Americans are as free as we tell them they can be, we'll decide how much freedom they can have.

Now, I'm not one to call the kettle black, as I agitate my loyal minions to panic at the drop of a hat, but I felt that the fuss about coming Internet censorship, taxation and regulation was so much hot air. I couldn't believe it would be in anyone's interest to do so. Taxation I can see, although by this point it doesn't matter one bit. We could confiscate 99% of everyones income and it still wouldn't be enough to pay the bank bailout bills. Or the states bailout bills. Or the insurance companies bailout bills. Or the retirement...blah, blah. But then, I actually turned on my thinking cap to Red Zone levels. The ozone smell was enough to make you dizzy. As my eyes rolled back into my head and I began to drool uncontrollably I actually got several cells to activate. And this is what I came up with. The American Stasi is the perfect make work employment program!! I tried to call up Uncle Obammy, but I got no answer. I think he was busy erasing all the tax return information from his new Supreme Court appointee so he wouldn't have another embarrassing Ruling Elite Not Required To Pay Taxes moment.

Normally, the basic tactic of our puppeteers is to allow so much information by the dissenters to be presented that their cries for justice are hidden in an avalanche of noise. If you let everyone to voice their displeasure, no one can hear over all the other voices. Then, you push the education system in one socialist direction and have the corporations to reward the graduates that continue the party line. It doesn't even have to be an orchestrated conspiracy. Everyone follows the money, which is distributed by a growing federal government. People simply follow the spigot from where the money pours. You go along to get along. We might now be seeing the start of actual government control. Nationalization. Direct employment rather than private companies lining up at the public trough. As the middle class disappears ( being no more than civil servants or contractors ) and unemployment soars, how to employ the growing legions of people? Building more highways, or windmill farms is too expensive. That takes actual resources we no longer have. So, what is the logical choice?

Work at home Internet censors! Think about it. They are already sheltered. They already have their own computers and Net access. You don't need to build offices. It will help decrease the number of commuters ( as we can afford less and less oil imports we will fall in consumption towards our own production ). We don't even have to pay much. Certainly there will be no high salaries or health benefits. That's also the beauty of nationalized health care- as everyone waits in line for free health care the Seniors and other high need patients will die off. But, don't get me side tracked. There will be no need to officially put new civil servants on the payroll. They get differential treatment on their mortgage, since most of those are now controlled by the feds through Freddie and Fannie. They can get Food Stamps. So, a spouse can stay home and work for the government while the other adult goes to work elsewhere. They were going to get food and home help anyway, so it's almost a two-fer. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't already happening ( I'm sure some of my loyal minions are loyal-just not to me ).

People get to keep their homes, get fed, and can keep watching ten hours of TV a day since the cable brings both Internet and television in. In return, all they have to do is report suspicious, unAmerican activities to the authorities. No one will abuse the system, they are patriotic and only care about The American Way Of Life. They would never report your surfing habits just because their dog crapped on your lawn and you yelled at them. They would never fabricate evidence just because they had quotas and didn't want to go to homeless internment camps. No, people are too swell.
