A friend of mine likes to point out how China owns all of our ports. So basically we're ****ed if they decide to shut them down for any length of time. Like stated in the Communist Manifesto ... they will take over this country without firing a single shot.

There is a gun behind every blade of grass. I dont see the USA ever getting invaded or taken over.

Maybe so, but if America was at war with China and they shot down an American plane/helicopter/tank/APC...etc guess where all the parts are made...yeah, that's right, china. America no longer has the infrastructure to build their own weapons/technology. Food for thought.

Paranoia or unlawful governments? A little of both, reality is we really have no privacy, and it's the federal government making sure we don't. Cell phone is a tracking device, so there not just listening, but tracking, recording and profiling. Combine that with ANPR systems (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) that can track and record vehicles (thousands per day/per unit). These can also record images, so smile more often. These are great for catching terrorist and criminals, but how come there tracking millions of citizens? Not just tracking, but making permanent profiles of all of our activities. Where you live, work, play and shop, this data is also available to private companies (missed a couple of car payments/repo man knows where to find you). Been used in my area for over five years by almost all police agencies, city/county/state through "Homeland Security Grants". Millions of citizens are being profiled, cataloged and sorted, all stored on a growing data base of all citizens. I don't think we are all criminals or terrorist, Do you?
