I have heard it described this way: We are being treated like cattle. They put a little food out and we warily come to the feed trough. While we are eating, they put up one fence behind us, then another, then another until we are totally fenced in. They give us a little so we end up giving them everything.
I heard they are putting RFID chips in just about everything including drivers licenses and credit cards. So when you walk into a Walmart or other big corporate box store, they will be tracking you. And if you have a smart phone, well, they already have you and know where you are at all times via GPS.
1984 is here and it is far worse than Orwell predicted and can only get much worse if we continue down this road.
