&gt;Advances in technology make privacy more important than it has ever been. Without privacy, there is vast opportunity for government to reach deep into our lives in the name of enforcement.<p>That was the plan for elites... you don&#x27;t seem to understand our elites perspective on these matters.<p>&quot;The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.&quot;<p>&#x27;In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities effectively exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason.&quot;<p>&quot;Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites ... [Whose] ties cut across national boundaries ...It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook ... The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty... Further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.&quot;<p>Written in 1982<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Between-Two-Ages-Americas-Technetronic&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0313234981" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Between-Two-Ages-Americas-Technetronic...</a><p>The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Grand-Chessboard-American-Geostrategic-Imperatives&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0465027261&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Grand-Chessboard-American-Geostrategic...</a>
