Thousands of police from hundreds of security agencies gather in what looks like, well, a War Room, “collecting information” and “monitoring a network of thousands of cameras”. Is this a war situation? No, it’s the Superbowl in NYC. The Intelligence Community is calling the SuperBowl a “Level 1 Threat”.
700 police at the stadium. Everyone attending the superbowl will be touch by, more likely groped by, security.
This multi-square-mile, prison-style lockdown must be in response to dastardly threats, right? Nope. “As of this time there are no threats directed against this event that we’re aware of,” New York City Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said just yesterday. This is all just in case.
In Sochi, site of the upcoming Olympics, security is so tight, a fisherman has to maintain three sets of documents to make it through the half-dozen or so checkpoints he must navigate to get from home to his fishing boat.
Welcome to Police World. It’s here. It’s now. It’s a nightmare for anyone who cherishes freedom: a virtual prison with layers and layers of virtual frontiers that seek to immobilize us and render us powerless.
Largely self-appointed political leaders and leaders of government recite the mantra that all this security is necessary to protect us from terrorists. But as each passing day is clarifying, the threat of terrorism is a straw man. To the extent terrorism exists, it exists and is strengthened by this push for security that makes life increasingly intolerable.
Edward Snowden has helped clarify to us, by lifting the veil of secrecy, that it isn’t the amorphous threat of terrorism our overlords fear, it is us. All the snooping, monitoring, and data collection wasn’t really aimed at terrorists. All this time, it’s actually been aimed at us.
Mankind has endured countless thousands of years of rule by fear and intimidation. The Arab Spring has shown us that The People can now use the democratic powers of knowledge, technology, and social organizing to, at last, wrest control of those weilding fear and intimidation. THOSE people are running scared. They have seen the future, and it doesn’t include their kind. They are now wounded animals; dangerous. They will strike-out, and lash-out at us in unexpected and damaging ways. They will not walk quietly into the sunset. They will fight us, and scorch the earth in their attempt to hold on to power. They will try to fool the populace with propaganda and distortions.
We are cursed to live in interesting times indeed. But if we keep our eyes on the ball, we can prevail against the forces of darkness: the ones that promise us security in return for out freedom.
