If You've Done Nothing Wrong, You Have Everything to Worry About


Whenever someone frets about the erosion of personal freedoms in our modern society, such as in the steady proliferation of surveillance cameras in public places, the stock answer, which is one I read all too often in my e-mail, is:

"If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

People who say this are fools, not to be too blunt about it. Not only are they willing to trade away my rights, since they haven't a basic appreciation of theirs, but their understanding of the relationship between government and the governed is one of subservience based on fear, and the idea that their fear is not only natural, but justifiably permanent given the state of the world.
Thus, we should all be fearful, all of the time. We should empower government to do whatever it feels necessary to protect us. The unquestioning nature of this logic not only institutionalizes fear, it makes it a patriotic duty. And the good citizen, the one who has done nothing wrong, will have nothing to worry about.

Oh, yeah?

  1. During the 'very hidden surveilance' l was subjected to and a surveilance that is nothing like that which Jenny Paton was placed under, written about in this article, for it was specifically for a purpose while l was under a stressful time mentally in the secret life of us in the House of Attitudes.
    l understand how 'they' operate and know what l'm taking about in my 'kansastown' situation,
    the reader may not see it this way but on my path you would however.
    Late at night when bloodline Huw left after his ritualistic visit l would lock up the place and head home, the secret crush l had on Huw was playing havoc on my mind and life was just a depressing routine of curbing and suppressing personnal thoughts about him and my existence in general, is this all l'm here for to clean, clean and f***en clean? that kind of thing etc.

    lt was while watching late night TV in my low down state within that an advert would grab my attention and also fear.
    This ad only appeared on the screen on and off during late 2001 and into the earlier months of 2002 and only very late at night, l've never seen such an advert on TV again as it was soley directed at me during this time in its wording, l know this now.

    The advert was a close up shot of a woman holding a long lens camera from the open window of the drivers seat car and her name appeared on the screen..Maureen, it was for private eye personnal surveilance.
    ln the audio she mentioned firms or agencies that had used her services, one of them was CENTRELINK [social security in Oz].
    There was no address in the advert only the contact number and in large letters the words
    'WILLIAMSTOWN' the 'Kansastown of Oz".

    l had no idea l was already under a very hidden surveilance with the bloodline during this time, but l did have a reason to think Centrelink may have me under surveilance as l
    hadn't had any contact with them since 1995 nor they with me.
    lt placed even more stress upon myself and had me looking out the windows of Attitudes nightly spying at any parked cars with an occupant, it would never of affected me if the advert had said 'Melbourne'..it was all an attempt at placing a level of fear and pressure on the mind and weaken me in the lead up to the event with Huw on the 20/07/2002 and his revealing himself.
