In an astounding cover story for the March 21 issue called ‘Your Data for Sale,’ TIME tells its readers to “get over” constant surveillance. Now, it is in your face, as demonstrated by TIME’s tagline, “Everything about you is being tracked– get over it.” Yeah, get over it, and the TSA porno-scanners and grope-downs, too.
Newsweek, another Skull and Bones-dominated media organ, similarly published a shocker in 2009 with its cover story, ‘The Case for Killing Granny,’ preparing the masses to simply accept massive shifts in society’s norms as if it were a normal occurrence. Unauthorized NSA wiretapping and other related surveillance (started long ago) was at least controversial during the Bush Administration, though it has unabashedly continued under Obama.
In an interview with CNN, author of the article, Joel Stein, makes light of the fact that his social security number (and lots of other personal data), as well as that of his family members, were easily found online. Stein and CNN host Kiran Chetry giggle like schoolgirls about Facebook’s exploitation of personal data, and the many other data-mining companies who keep “permanent files” on us. Stein even quips that he has “blackmail material” now on his mother and sister, whose SSN numbers he obtained during his research. Stein further called personalized-ads on systems like Google’s G-MAIL “kinda cool.” That’s right, now that we’re at the heart of a big brother system, 1984 is kinda cute-and-fuzzy.
