CHIP AND BIN ...

... PIED PIPER-ED TO SERVITUDE
Hello all ...
I have been saying for years that the Big Brother society is already far more deeply entrenched in our lives than even some more aware people realise.
The thing to understand is that the most insidious technology and surveillance is never made public and only comes to light when it seeps out through leaks or accident. No-one knew publicly the extent of government phone tapping in the United States until it came out through non-official routes and even that was only a fraction of what is actually happening minute by minute.
I have also said again and again that it is in the apparently trivial and insignificant that the true extent of control and surveillance can be recognised. For instance, take the wheelie bin.

What can a simple rubbish bin with wheels have to do with the agenda for global control? What could be more innocent than putting out the trash? Answer one: plenty, it seems. Answer two: the age of innocence is over until we have removed the soulless ones who are leading us, pipes-a-playing, into the Orwellian nightmare.
It has emerged that half a million British wheelie bins have been microchipped, mostly by German-based companies, with the rest of the country apparently destined to follow. Similar systems are at work throughout Europe. Yep, microchipping has now reached the trash can, as they say in America, and it is being dubbed 'chip and bin' after the credit card chip and pin system in the UK.
The microchips transmit information from the bin to a central database with the potential to keep a record of what rubbish each householder throws out. Even the garbage is no longer private.
None of this was stated publicly so some kind of debate could ensue. It was done without telling anyone and only found its way into the media this week when a council official mentioned the chips at a Rotary Club dinner. If they are even secretly bugging your bin, what the hell else is the Hidden Hand doing without our knowledge?

An every day scene all over the 'developed' world, but now details of your life can be 'read' as the wheelie bin is emptied
The London Mail on Sunday describes how the bin-bugging system works:
'With the bugging technology, the electronic chips are carefully hidden under the moulded front "lip" of wheelie bins used by householders for non-recyclable waste. As the bin is raised by the mechanical hoister at the back of the truck, the chip passes across an antenna fitted to the lifting mechanism. That enables the antenna to "read" a serial number assigned to each property in the street.
A computer inside the truck weighs the bin as it is raised, subtracts the weight of the bin itself and records the weight of the contents on an electronic data card.
When the truck returns to the depot, all the information collected on the round is transmitted to a hand-held device and downloaded on to the council's centralised computer. Each household can be billed for the amount of waste collected - even though they have already paid for the services through their council tax.'

We're watching you ...'
The official justification for bin-bugging is to 'improve efficiency' and, get this, to settle disputes between neighbours about the ownership of wheelie bins. Martin Smith, head of Environmental Services at Kennet District Council, said:
'These are simply chips that will enable us to sort out disputes between householders about whose wheelie bin is whose. If there are any arguments we can just send out an officer to scan the chip and settle the argument. There is a debate in Government over the possibility of introducing charges but that's not what we had in mind when we ordered the chips.'
So they planning to spend two pounds to bug every wheelie bin in Britain, and fifteen thousand pounds to fit the technology to every waste truck, just to decide arguments on who owns a wheelie bin??
Something comes to mind ... oh yeah ...

They also talk about the need to recycle waste more efficiently, but this, too, is, well, rubbish. The real reason is control. Some waste disposal specialists say the idea is to gather the information to fine people for not putting the right waste in the right bin and, stands back in amazement, the Blair government is preparing to give councils new powers in this regard.
Steve Foster, sales director of PM OnBoard, which fits weighing equipment to waste disposal trucks, said his company already had a full database of names and addresses and they were ready to introduce new fees for rubbish collection as soon as the law allows.
But still the true reason is beyond even that.
The mass of surveillance in all areas of our lives need to be seen as a whole, not just as individual parts. The bin bugging is significant in the way it highlights how Big Brother is infiltrating the fine detail of our lives, but it is even more important when viewed with all the other gathering intrusions.

Walk across towns and cities today and you are likely to pass from camera to camera recording your every movement. Go into a store or an ATM and the same happens. When your children go to school they are increasingly watched by cameras, preparing the next generation to accept this intrusion as a normal part of life.
Traffic cameras check your speed and a few miles an hour over the limit, no matter what the circumstances (unless you are a police officer), means an instant fine in the UK.

The satellite network can already photograph your licence plate from space and soon all new cars will have to carry chips that connect them to satellites to track the details of your every journey.
They are also preparing for the satellite system to connect with the human microchips planned to be introduced as soon as the public has been manipulated enough by the 'war on terror' to allow it.

Getting away from it all? Not the satellites, you won't
When you work at the computer or use the phone you are being recorded by a system searching for key words or, if you are on their watch-list, every word. A glimpse at the scale of phone tapping in the United States has more recently come to light, but the true and enormous extent of Internet tracking, email surveillance and web surfing is not publicly known.
http://www.davidicke.com/oi/extras/view_screen_1.jpg
Every move you make, every breath you take, we'll be watching you.
The sum total of all this, and so much more, is to turn people into a bar-coded 'commodity' tracked and recorded every day of their lives. What you say, where you go, what you buy, what you eat, what you drink, even what you throw in the rubbish bin are all being downloaded into vast data bases. Privacy? How do you spell that again, it's one of those old words my mother talked about, isn't it?
