Here begins/continues a very slippery slope!!!!

This is a quote from the following URL, at the Institute for
Intergovernmental
Research, USA, website:

The MATRIX project is implementing factual data analysis from existing data
sources to integrate disparate data from many types of Web-enabled storage
systems to identify, develop, and analyze terrorist activity and other
crimes
for investigative leads. This capability will facilitate integration and
exchange of information within the participating states, including criminal
history, driver license data, vehicle registration records, and
incarceration/corrections records including digitized photographs, with
significant amounts of public data record entries. Provision has been made
for the inclusion of data sources from additional states, should
expansion be
authorized. The use of factual data analysis from existing data sources
will
save countless investigative hours and significantly improve the
opportunity
for successful conclusion of investigations.

Oh Nenslo - if I ever have a vacancy for resident guru ... your name
will be head of the list :)
I suspect that you are quite accurate in your analysis of Bushbaby being
a distraction from the engine room. This certainly echoes other ideas
discussed broadly in terms of Peak Oil and other crises courtesy of From
the Wilderness, Utne Reader, & co. As a matter of interest, what would
you enumerate as the "Control System's fantasies" - you say that my
nagging delusion that things shouldn't be this way is a
residual/unconscious acceptance of _one_ of the CS's fantasies ... .

The difficulty with many of these issues is that they - like discourse
itself - is woven into the very fabric of what I/we take as declared
reality, and it becomes increasingly difficult to tease out what
constitute discursive themes. I found it useful in my heyday of
poststructuralist orgiastic deconstruction terminalis to consider the
perspective of mobile speaking positions, enabling a reflexive
deconstruction of any given position temporarily adopted for the sake of
argument. There is little in this world that scares me more than persons
who claim they are so sure of the entrenched positions they adopt they
have no room for reflexivity ... and unfortunately, these are traits
common to those who espouse the essentialisms of fundamental
Christian/Islam/Judaism/Conservativism/Democratism, etc. The engine room
that drives the likes of Bushbaby scare me because they are seemingly so
entrenched in their ideas of exclusivity and acquisitiveness that any
debate is elided. Meanwhile, those ideals corrupt, destroy, and endanger
and now some pretty powerful technology that enhances the human capacity
for surveillance (as if some cyborgian demon) is now brought to bear to
further those aims ... and there is no way that those 'advances' can be
decremented.
I babble ... but I guess you get the point ... to the extent that there
is/was one.

I don't know what's stuck in your head. I would list as the main and
most successful fantasies in this quadrant of the globe: America is a
Democracy. Democracy works. Democracy = Freedom. Freedom is worth
dying for.

Holy crap! Whadja do, swallow a thesaurus? Them things are spiky -
you could choke!

When I consider that the complex of global criminal conspiracies which
constitute human government is not ABNORMAL, but the way humans have
been living for thousands and thousands of years, it doesn't scare me.
Stonehenge wasn't built by a democracy. The thing about all these
scary-ass surveillance technologies is that they are entirely
powerless against a person who has nothing to hide. As it is written:
Systems tend to operate in failure mode. Since there is only one
possible way for things to go according to plan, there are unlimited
ways for things to go in some crazy way we never expected. No matter
how we prepare, none of us is safe from the inevitable continuous
failure of bureaucracy.

The reason I tell you that the information you really need cannot be
obtained on the internet is that looking at the world as words on a
screen or a page is like peering through a straw. All you can see is
one speck at a time and trying to put it together into a true
representation of the real state of the total 3D world that surrounds
us only creates another erroneous fantasy. If we go out into the
world and see what people's lives are really like, the real concerns
of everyday existence for the vast majority of humanity, it turns out
to be quite different from what we read about on a sociopolitical website.

This is also why between 4 and 7 SubGeniuses are brutally killed each
year. They look quite fine online, but when they meet face-to-face at
Devivals, some awful switch clicks, the air fills with feline
pheremones and SLASH, another one bites the dust.
