PRISM, Tempora and other players – You are Death

Why are you folk so upset and surprised on the leaked information by Snowden on PRISM (NSA, USA) or Tempora (GCHQ, UK)? In a matter of facts, I know through various situations since 1990, that such program exists.

 

Here revelation number one: what most of you readers don’t know and least expect, is the fatal damage that can be inflicted to the individual whose information was collected by anyone who can access those information.

And here revelation number two: everyone is speaking of the US and UK how bad they are behaving in collecting citizens information.  How about broadening the circle to another so called “democratic” country – such as Switzerland?

 

In 1989 a Socio-Political scandal erupted Switzerland. In the “secrete file scandal” it was revealed, that 11% of the then population was snooped on, registered, put on various lists, prevented from having decent work and positions, thrown apart families and social network. Those where only the obvious impacts. Unknown remains the very personal development those affected have since made.

 

I am in the position to know of such a happening where the Swiss Government has run behind its citizen for only criticizing one government worker on the secrete file scandal.  The harassment has taken place between 1990 up to 2013 without knowing if and how it is continued. In that case I also know they mined and taped phones and computers, even stole devices to acquire the data, broke into apartments and probably even committed a crime to justify other unconstitutional behavior, pressured people to stop and prevent dealing with that individual citizen, even trying to lure the individual into a pedophile trap using minors etc etc. The information collected where then turned against that person to cripple its social and business network and ultimately crippling it’s financial resources. That has put the person into such a difficult situation that the situation could remain critical for the remaining time of its life. In 2008 the whole culminated in a direct physical thread for life where it was suggested to “remove the individual”. Interesting point to mention is, that several other countries where involved including the UK and US. There where attempts to bring it to the attention of the medias. But alas to no avail.

 

It seems very difficult for the “normal” citizen to believe that a “so called democratic country” (and Switzerland calls itself the oldest democracy) is capable of being so fierce, even ruthless as a tyrant and behave in such a undemocratic manner.
