iPhone: Citizen Spy for Homeland Security

Do you suspect your neighbor might not be properly claiming all his taxes? Do you think the lady at the cash register is really part of a “sleeper cell” awaiting the green light for a mission? Or maybe you think that your boss might be printing out a non-work related article on the office printer? Then you need the “PatriotApp” for your iPhone to inform the Department of Homeland Security of these notorious crimes.

Citizen Concepts, a software company based out of Florida and ran by former DHS members, have developed an iPhone application that allows citizens to “assist” government agencies in creating a safer, cleaner and more efficient community via social networking and mobile technology. This application has been introduced on the belief that citizens can provide the most sophisticated and broad network of eyes and ears necessary to prevent terrorism, crime, environmental negligence or other malicious behavior. During a time of constant terrorist alerts and attacks, the average citizen would see this as a gateway to anonymous reporting of whomever they please. Well guess what? I’m not your average citizen. What on Earth is going on in my country?

The PatriotApp comes with the following KGB approved accessories:

Simply download, report (including pictures) and submit information to relevant government agencies, employers, or publish incident data to social network tools.

You incorporate a phone application into an already paranoid state just too feed off of the marketing opportunity? Sure, it’s a brainstorm of an idea, but at what cost? The days of privacy are ending, ladies and gentlemen. Suspicion is the new viral offspring and the DHS is going to use every means necessary to engulf the minds of this country to keep us informed… or is it them informed? Where does this madness stop?

I can’t even imagine the mass amount of data that will be coming in over the most wasteful information nor can I imagine that DHS can handle the load of work. Do you not see what this is? This is creating citizens into civilian spies. “You say your friend is speaking out against the current policies of the government!?!? We shall investigate and confirm this. Thank you for your dedication to a safer and secure society.”

A civilian national workforce was stated to be created for America in the near future. What better way to create it from within. You don’t have to justify it under any kind of job description or tie it into the already tremendous deficit. There are no repercussions and there is no civil liability. It is the perfect stance for DHS and the other government agencies.

Isn’t it amazing how history repeats itself?  It’s like looking in the middle of Berlin before and during World War II.  The Gestapo is on the move and they will take all means necessary to assure that anyone who disagrees is dealt with.  Those who support their “movement” could quite possibly earn ranks throughout the system.  Force feed their lives into believing that they are doing the right thing with no consequence.  This only shows how weak we’ve become and what some people in our country will do until we finally fall on our knees.
