Imagine, I am Canadian and, here in Canadia it's perfectly legal to show videos of sailboats on the water.

In the United Stoats, a national law was past to make it illegal, in the United Stoats, to look at sailboats.

I post my sailboat video on my personal website with the video server in Baltonia Island Video Refuge Land.

Because my video is legal in Canadia, I don't care who sees it. But Reverend Godley living in the United Stoats, sees it on his computer (downloaded from Baltonia) and immediately contacts the Federated Burro of Instigation in the United Stoats. The United Stoats Law Enfarcement Agent easily tracts me down and then contacts Canadia to have me arrested, extradited to the United Stoats and then shot because of my sailboat video.

Of course, I'm being silly and highly imaginative here, but the concept of start little and develop into something big is common with Authorities craving more and more power.

The Nazi genocide and ethnic cleansing efforts in the mid-1900's did not begin as a specific plan to gas Jews and others in concentration camps, but rather evolved over time, beginning with systematic persecution aimed in part at encouraging Jewish emigration from Germany to other countries. It grew from spontaneous murders to planned massacres of Jewish communities, to the establishment of an industrial apparatus for the efficient, wholesale slaughter of a people.

The real United States has a founding document called the U.S. Constitution in which the U.S. President is supposed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Well, that ain't happening.

The PATRIOT Act is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. The masses of scared-to-death citizens welcomed it. On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act: roving wiretaps, searches of business records, and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups. Following a lack of Congressional approval, parts of the Patriot Act expired on June 1, 2015. With the passage of the USA Freedom Act on June 2, 2015, the expired parts were restored and renewed through 2019. Phone conversations recorded and analysed, business activities examined without warrants, closed circuit television cameras popped up everywhere, warrant-less arrests abounded, detentions without due cause nor Constitutional recourse has become standard.

And that's just the Patriot Act. There's more. What did Julian Assange and Edward Snowden find out about enlightening the American (and the world) public? But... I bore you.

I'm also trying to warn you. Don't let them put a pink double heart on your coat.
