I do think, though, that surveillance in public places belongs in a different category from surveillance of what we would expect to be private endeavors (phone calls and e-mail communication).<br /><br />I don't see the surveillance on public transport as much different from the (now) routine surveillance that goes on in stores and at ATMs, and which does, on occasion help to catch wrong-doers (as the Boston Marathon events). <br /><br />I think the crux of the matter is where a line has to be drawn. That question needs a proper public airing, which it hasn't yet had because people had become apathetic about it all.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-88302183416294171372013-06-12T19:39:10.823-05:002013-06-12T19:39:10.823-05:00I interpreted the attorney's discussion of Mar...I interpreted the attorney's discussion of Maryland's video AND AUDIO recording on public buses as about the continual eroding and acceptance of the loss of privacy, ie, it's just one more loss of many. Americans have become accepting of intrusions into our lives and consequent losses of assumed privacy.<br /><br />The video clearly points-out that our constitution does not have provisions for the definition OR protection of privacy. Justice Potter Stewart's decision (1967, unreasonable search), "But what he seeks to preserve in private, even in an area accessible to the public, may be constitutionally protected." The events of the past decade do not support Stewart's decision.<br /><br />The loss-of-privacy-program is promoted by the fear mongers, marketing execs making money from our personal lives, and those wishing to exploit personal and national security via the police and military.<br /><br />I found it interesting that the attorney wasn't allowed to video record on the same bus that was recording his every move and spoken word. Have you followed the events regarding the public recording of police officers? The more recent judicial reviews allow for citizens to record the police, but now the police are confiscating the cameras and telephones as potential weapons!<br /><br />Whether I would feel more secure on a bus in Maryland that records both video AND AUDIO isn't the point. Do I feel more secure in a country that has greatly accelerated its intrusion into my personal life via almost every conceivable contrivance? No, I fear the government and data-collectors now.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-80305321231868754712013-06-12T09:14:35.705-05:002013-06-12T09:14:35.705-05:00Chomp ~~ Yes - for sure! :-)Chomp ~~ Yes - for sure! :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-16403837164055332432013-06-12T09:14:08.347-05:002013-06-12T09:14:08.347-05:00mike ~ Those are interesting links, thank you!
Th...mike ~ Those are interesting links, thank you!<br /><br />The Paul Revere treatment is a very creative way to give lay persons a vague idea of what's going on regarding surveillance.<br /><br />Re the vid. about Maryland public transport surveillance - I wouldn't be overjoyed about it if I lived there, but wouldn't actually be against that kind of surveillance, as long as notices that it's going on are posted prominently. I think the lawyer who speaks in the video is drawing his line a wee bit too tightly in objecting to it. <br /><br />It's hard to know where boundaries should be drawn though.<br />Such blanket surveillance is such a relatively new ability/ facility. The government is acting like a big kid playing with a new toy - a toy that would be capable of some very dangerous (and even more unwelcome than at present) consequences in the wrong hands....or even in the hands holding it at present!<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-78436208348089135162013-06-12T07:02:14.961-05:002013-06-12T07:02:14.961-05:00Interesting the natal chart Interesting the natal chart Chompnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-65983540783984278092013-06-11T22:21:54.189-05:002013-06-11T22:21:54.189-05:00You might be interested in the following, Twilight...You might be interested in the following, Twilight:<br /><br />An interesting video about the data you create:<br />http://vimeo.com/34750078<br /><br />Using metadata to find Paul Revere:<br />http://kieranhealy.org//blog/archives/2013/06/09/using-metadata-to-find-paul-revere/<br /><br />State of Maryland surveillance:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz6zS04ekVcmike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-42042628586314005602013-06-11T19:40:11.081-05:002013-06-11T19:40:11.081-05:00Oooops...next to last paragraph should read:

Transiting Mars will soon be conjunct his Mercury. Of note is the current transits of Sun and Jupiter in the late degrees of Gemini now conjunct his North Node, Mars, and Sun, while opposing Neptune (secrets), and trine his Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Libra.<br /><br />I agree with you that he'll be up against restrictions with transiting Saturn conjuncting his Moon in Scorpio (at whatever degree his Moon may be), but he does have the protection of transiting Jupiter in Cancer trine his Moon several times over the next year. I would venture to say that over his lifetime he probably has surprisingly unexpected "good luck" with his natal Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Jupiter's home of Sag. At some point, the North Node will (or has) conjuncted his Moon, which will further define his emotional, subconscious direction. I think that he will remain a media sensation for some time and will be viewed as a daring hero over his and Greenwald's efforts.<br /><br />According to Greenwald, there's more revealing information to come...that is further indicated by transits to Snowden's chart. Specifically, transiting Mars conjuncting his natal Mercury very soon, followed by Mars' conjunction with Sun-Jupiter-N.Node next month. Plus transiting Jupiter over the Sun-Jupiter-N.Node in a week or two. Snowden will be in the spotlight for a while, but I think in a favorable profile.<br /><br />As a side note...I suppose his previous several years have been very precarious for him. He's had a Saturn return and the Moon's Nodes have hit his two stelliums in the Gemini-Sagittarius axis with eclipses.mikenoreply@blogger.com
