Surveillance and Public Health

 Trying to come to grips with the Military Industrial Complex being a major influence on your life has proven difficult.  I have no grudge against the military.  The military is a core part of the Fayetteville community, but with BRAC's induction of Ground Forces Command at what is now Fort Liberty, civilian life in Fayetteville has waned.  Most everything revolves around the military lifestyle, and civilians necessarily do not have to fall in, report for duty, or follow orders.  The disparity between the freedom of civilian life and the stringency of military life is substantial.  When I play quiet jazz on my piano at one o'clock in the morning in my garage, my playing is met with a barrage of artillery fire.  If I have carnal thoughts or desires, no matter how innocuous and contained, my immediate environment is inundated with surveillance.  Is it may imagination that the frame of our house pops from the immense pressure of infrasound?  My ears begin to ring with annoying tinnitus from the Frey Effect?  Fort Liberty trains soldiers, and a large part of their focus is ISR, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance.  Every method of surveillance is in use at Fort Liberty.  Cavalier gung-ho recruits push the envelope of respect for civilians in close proximity to their training areas.  It is easy to justify any training activity in the name of national security, but there is overreach.  For two years we listened to Department of Homeland Security surveillance planes circle above our neighborhood.  They were testing and training on Sierra Nevada produced sensor pods mounted on the planes, but the children at Vanstory Hills Elementary School did not benefit from that nuisance.  Surveillance relies upon electrical energy in many forms, and most of it is invasive to human anatomy.  The new Cold War is electronic warfare, and much of it is wireless.  We have dug ourselves into a hole with the mass proliferation of microwaves used in surveillance.  That the United States would allow a network of low altitude satellites to surround the Earth is unconscionable.  Once the internet was desirable, and now it has become exploited.  A "Stooge" government has proven to be the source.  Two faced foreign operatives feign American sentiment and integrity, but behind their public activity they are working against America.  Scott Pruitt was the prime example of this.  Donald Trump appointed a host of stooges who have no interest in representing the interests of the American people.  If public opinion of health has diminished, and still we are a democracy, then all of the politicians in Washington cannot exonerate Anthony Fauci from his actions during the Covid 19 pandemic.  If you work for government, and you are paid by the taxpayers dollars, and if we are a democracy, then the peoples' opinion is relevant.  If they see Fauci as a menace, then it is substantial.  While his position at the CDC or NIH may not be elected, it is not immune from public opinion.  It is us who were dying.
