Invisible stalking

I believe that electronic stalking has arrived in our land too.

If it is true then it would have serious ramifications in this apology of a society. We are so lax in morals that any spiteful specimen of humanity in our land could make use of it with scant regard for the rights of other individuals. I do not know the present state of development in the technology, but my guess is that portable equipment is already available in the market to make use of.

Governments normally have a vulgar delight in putting people at a disadvantage. In a society like ours where politicians unashamedly sponsor criminals, the self righteous officials would make use of every means to get back at them by the use of new technology. They might even make use of voice to skull machines to get the better of their opponents, and as this is yet to be brought under legislation in this as well as other countries in the world the threat is great.

In the eighties there were already plans to control whole populations chemically by injecting pacifying drugs into the drinking water. Perhaps the amount of drugs needed for such control and the risk of fallout may have prevented this from happening. But if there are other methods which are invisible and as effective those would be tried and experimented by the unscrupulous.

In countries like USA there are vigilant activists working against such threats and there is also an internet community keeping watch over the developments in the field. Their efforts are met with derision both from the Government and the ignorant. People are often deluded by the amount of information that is available in the world today. What they amass is not knowledge but mere information and information is the servant of those who own it. They can color it in any manner they want. When the visual as well as the print media is fighting for their existence compromises are likely to be made, especially in areas where they also have an interest. If voice to skull could be modified to suit ordinary radio/TV transmissions none would be more delighted than those who control these media now.

Internet, because of its nature seems to be the only solace for the wise at present; all the other systems of communication have failed people miserably.

Well, whatever may be the current stature of this technology; it would be wise to be wary of external suggestions occurring seemingly out of nowhere within the mind from now onwards
