The Cia Wants To Spy On You Through Your Tv, dailymail.co.uk Rating Options

When people download a film from Netflix to a flatscreen, or turn on web radio, they could be alerting unwanted watchers to exactly what they are doing and where they are.

Spies will no longer have to plant bugs in your home - the rise of 'connected' gadgets controlled by apps will mean that people 'bug' their own homes, says CIA director David Petraeus.

The CIA claims it will be able to 'read' these devices via the internet - and perhaps even via radio waves from outside the home.

Everything from remote controls to clock radios can now be controlled via apps - and chip company ARM recently unveiled low-powered, cheaper chips which will be used in everything from fridges and ovens to doorbells.

The resultant chorus of 'connected' gadgets will be able to be read like a book - and even remote-controlled, according to CIA CIA Director David Petraeus, according to a recent report by Wired's 'Danger Room' blog.

Petraeus says that web-connected gadgets will 'transform' the art of spying - allowing spies to monitor people automatically without planting bugs, breaking and entering or even donning a tuxedo to infiltrate a dinner party.

I agree gents.

I agree gents.

Back in the day, it was common place for exasperated people to respond to stupid questions with insanely ridiculous replies, such as: "I have a 10 megaton bomb sewn into my ass, you wanna check that?" Of course, back in the day, the line would have erupted into peals of laughter, humiliating the "authorities' into backing off. Not so today, such an obviously impossible statement would be taken as an admission of some kind, and treated as though a real threat. The line would, instead of laughing, go wide eyed and gape jawed, as the speaker is lead away to heaven knows where, for only god knows what kinds of procedures.

The effect of reading about the insanity that prevails at airport check-in lines, tells all who have read about it to watch their mouths. Which, in turn means, watch your mind, so that no reflexive mind-gag reflex, causes one to regurgitate some creatively fashioned show of displeasure. So we've learned to stop thinking for reasons of personal safety.

In the order of things, some of our best and brightest minds are flying. Thus, it is our best and brightest minds that are being forced to shut down.

One may like to think that these mental shut downs can be carefully selective, but that's not how the human condition works, as we well know. You cannot stop oppression in one area of the mind from spreading to other areas and to social life as well. "Back in the day", you said what you thought when you thought of it, and you got a chance to explain what you said -- if the meaning wasn't totally obvious -- before any action was taken. Remember "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me?" Apparently now words are thought to do intolerably great harm, such that the issuer might even be too dangerous to be brought to trial, let alone be given a chance to explain.

I know that years ago, the people on those check-in lines would have stood up for "granny" spewing her displeasure at abject stupidity! Not so today, all on line are sufficiently cowed by authority. As for Homeland Security, hiring poorly trained clowns at low pay, leaves more in the budget for executive pay. But that aside, we're well on our way to developing into an oppressive totalitarian society that cannot and will not support, even today's standards of living, as insanity comes to rule the land.
