Panopticon – P.I.D. Radio

P.I.D. Radio 1/11/11: Aftermath of Tucson

FEAR CAN be a useful tool to a government. People who are intimidated are more easily led. We look at how the U.S. government is using its power to discourage dissent — we mean serious dissent, not the pro-wrestling-in-designer-clothing that passes for political analysis on cable news.

Also: headless bodies in Acapulco; leader of Saint Death cult arrested; and where our true allegiance lies.

APPARENTLY IT’S not enough to scan us at airports, sporting events, or while we’re driving around town, the government is enlisting our banks, ISPs, and childrens’ bus drivers in the total surveillance state. It feels like the elites are trying to provoke us.

Also: hemorrhagic fever and polio outbreaks in Uganda; and the strange case of Lord James and Foundation X.

Here’s the YouTube video of Lord James’ speech in the House of Lords on Nov. 1, 2010.

P.I.D. Radio 11/16/10: Backscatter at Home

Derek — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 00:39:32 +0000

NAKED SCANNERS aren’t just for airports anymore! The Department of Homeland Security now owns 500 mobile X-ray vans that can see you while you drive or relax at home — through 14 inches of steel!

Speaking of DHS, questions are raised about the safety of its new biodefense lab. Also: “devil attack” at school in Trinidad, tensions between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and EU fracturing over economic policy.
