Dangerous Things along …The Dark Spectrum… are happening Right Now:
-
Indefinite Detainment of U.S. Citizens: The NDAA Provision that now allows the Indefinite Detainment of U.S. Citizens, Signed by the President www.aclu.org/NDAA
-
Surveillance Drones Over Our U.S. : The FAA Reauthorization Act: The Bill That Clears the Path For up to 30,000 Surveillance Drones Over Our U.S. In Next Ten Years (avg.600 per state), Signed by the President http://www.aclu.org/technology-and-liberty/report-protecting-privacy-aerial-surveillance-recommendations-government-use

Syrian Style Censorship: SOPA – The Anti-Piracy Act that would have required the same DNS blocking as Syria, Iran, and China uses to keep search engines from locating sites. Thankfully SOPA was Stripped of this. If it hadn’t the question would be “Whats Next?”: what could the increments and gradual manipulations & expansions lead to? Block access to entire domains because some alleged contravening content was posted on a single BLOG or Page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act : “Requiring search engines to delete a domain name could begin a worldwide arms race of unprecedented censorship of the Web and violates the First Amendment”

Other Siblings of SOPA are brewing.

Warrantless Wiretapping: FISA Amendments Act: Obama Administration Asks Supreme Court to Dismiss ACLU Challenge to Warrantless Wiretapping Law: “Today (02/17/2012) the government asked the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling that allowed our lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the 2008 FISA Amendments Act to go forward. That law gives the government unprecedented authority to monitor Americans’ international emails and phone” http://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/obama-administration-asks-supreme-court-dismiss-aclu-challenge-warrantless

This is how Democracy Ends and it ends, I’m afraid, with the thunderous applause of many in the name of “Security” & “Protection” & “Rights”.
-
Literally look outside your door… Everything Seems Normal.
-
We are Not supposed to be a Military State. We Are Not supposed to be a Despot Country. We are not supposed to March OR EVEN TIP-TOE Towards becoming THAT …On Any Part of Its Dark Spectrum…
-
NO ONE should be Afraid of THEIR Government… Once that becomes, “America” is no longer & in name only.
-
At what point in time… will we have already been carried across that line? How far into This Dark Spectrum do we have to travel for this to be?
