“If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.” — Dwight Eisenhower

Welcome to the terrordome! How right can Jeremy Bentham be? The recent outing of the longstanding NSA surveillance projects has only served to further catalize sides between freedom arguments.

Freedom means safety VS. Freedom means the right to choose your own path.

It seems to me that Safety, prison, is the new regime of truth ruling. And Americans want Prison. Don’t be fooled, you cosmopolitan Blog reader, you technorati radical, yours is not the agenda of the Majority of the United States.

Neoliberal Fear EQUATIONS:
1. Freedom=safety=fear of that which you do not understand + control
or F=S=Fe+C
2. News=proof/document=tv+radio+print+internet
or N=P/D=Media

right now, what sells is
N=F
and
F=N

Yes, Americans are beign told in the media that: A Majority of americans polled agree in surveilling phone calls to protect Americans from Terrorists is good. No, this is not true. But it sells.

TIME TO FUCKING CHANGE THIS MESS.

Welcome to the terrordome.

No, not Bentham’s panoptic hell we live in now. The terror dome might be like Chuck D’s.
Maybe the most terrorist act you can commit right now is to build a space for real democracy.
Pneumatic Parliament

I have finally reached some kind of conclusion to create a beginning…
We need to change this mess, create our own terrordomes.

i am the reblogger for eyebeam for the next 2 weeks, so I’ll be giving my attention and thoughts through them. Of course, a few new things coming up:
