Mayor Bloomberg on Drones: “Oh it’s Big Brother. Get Used to it”

While hosting his weekly radio show this past Friday, Your Royal Highness Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained to the serfs of NYC that privacy is dead and that you just “can’t keep the tide” of the surveillance state from coming in.  His quotes perfectly demonstrate the attitude he takes toward his subjects and are quite revealing.  For instance:

“Everybody wants their privacy, but I don’t know how you’re going to maintain it.  It’s just we’re going into a different world, uncharted, and, like it or not, what people can do, what governments can do, is different.  And you can to some extent control, but you can’t keep the tides from coming in.”

“The argument against using automation, it’s this craziness– oh, it’s Big Brother. Get used to it.”

As if that isn’t bad enough, it also become 100% crystal clear that this guy wants to fill the skies of NYC with “freedom birds.”  He sees absolutely no problem with it at all.  In his own words:

“But what’s the difference whether the drone is up in the air or on the building? I mean intellectually I have trouble making a distinction. And you know you’re gonna have face recognition software.  People are working on that.”

“We’re going to have more visibility and less privacy. I don’t see how you stop that. And it’s not a question of whether I think it’s good or bad. I just don’t see how you could stop that because we’re going to have them.”

Here’s how you stop it.  It’s called The Constitution of the United States of America, a document I’m not convinced you have ever bothered to read.

This whole thing comes across as a gigantic Jedi mind trick to me.  “It’s inevitable you will lose your freedoms.  Resistance is futile.  Just accept it.”  Sadly, unlike the proud citizens of Seattle, New Yorkers are still too traumatized from 9/11 to get off their knees.

Finally, we discover who and what Bloomberg is really trying to protect with all the cameras:

In Lower Manhattan, an initiative developed after 9/11 known as the “Ring of Steel” integrates the NYPD’s cameras with those of banks and other institutions.

So is dinner at your place or the Dimons’ tonight?

In Liberty,

  1. Over the past several years as I’ve been reawakened to things, I have considered re-reading “1984.” At this point, all I need do it tune into a routine news feed and I can see it happening in real time.

  2. Bloomberg would have fit in quite nicely with the SS. Why is it that the politicians who claim to be working for the safety of the people are the most authoritarian? Oh wait, I remember, it is because they are statists and do not believe in individual liberty, only their power and control over the rest of us. New York City, it is high time for you to grow a pair and vote this scumbag out of office.

  3. I quibble with Michael K. whether Michael, Viscount Bloomberg, Governor-General of the NY Mega City-State, has ever read the Constitution of the United States. I’m sure he has, and recently, too. Where MK and I, and everyone else on this string, experience a sense of awe or wonder when we do, I’m willing to assert the chilling-thrill of Dark Ecstasy on Bloomberg’s part.
    His lordship is three times noble: Salomon Brothers cum Media oligarch cum NWO political operator. He and his ilk realize they are about to destroy the life’s work of History’s Great Men. There is, I am sure, a perverse thrill in knowing you are about to annihilate what they created; to invert their processes and institutions into a control grid; and to take into your own hands the very rights the Great Men asserted were derived from God. Proving them wrong and yourself greater, if not god-like.
    Look, guys at the top like Bloomberg already have everything in the World. The reasons they are doing this are deeply, pathologically psychological: it takes a special spiritual illness to want to own everything and everyone, believing no one else matters, except in how you can exploit them.
    Most of us would find that painful, unendurable. Something akin to the alienation of the slaveowner. For him and the others like him, it’s a lifestyle.
