The development of powerful computers able to centrally store and process large amounts of information revolutionized government. In addition to the billions of tax dollars spent developing law enforcement applications, the government has used the new computer systems to increase the efficiency and reach of its bureaucracies to control the people.
At the same time, the private sector expanded their profit-making possibilities. Companies offering telephone, credit card, banking, and all other consumer services began using massive networked computer systems not only to increase efficiency, but also to supply credit, marketing, and other money making schemes.
Now, detailed information on every person in the developed world is computerized into several thousand databases collected, analyzed, and widely disseminated by governments and corporations. Increasingly, these computers are linked up and sharing their cyber-gossip. Using high speed networks with advanced intelligence and single identification numbers such as the Social Security or driver license number, computers can create instant, comprehensive dossiers on millions of people without the need for a centralized computer system. New developments in genetic and medical research and care, advanced transportation systems, and financial transfers have dramatically increased the quantity of detail available.
A body of national and international laws and agreements facilitates the rapid transfer of information across state and national borders and frequently prevents local and national communities from regulating against invasions of privacy. Lawmakers, allow credit information bureaus such as Equifax to compile giant databases of medical records without notifying patients, and would further restrict the states from passing laws to protect privacy.
It does not matter if you wear your chains openly, or partly hidden as they are today in America. The condition of slavery exists nevertheless. Any time you can be arrested or called into court at the mere whim of the state or if any of your property can be seized by the government or any of its agents, you are a slave. The government may make ANY law they want, including laws that take your property, your family, or even your life. The government owns EVERYTHING in the country, including you.
