The Government is a Private Corporation. They Can Do Whatever They Want.
Sample from Enjoy Your Golden Hell: The American Social Credit System & Moraltocratic Feudalism
The US constitution allegedly places limitations on the government's behavior. These prohibitions apply only to the government, but they don’t apply to private companies and citizens. Facebook can ban you for hate speech. The government can’t.
Except, actually, they can.
In the full corporatization of federal power, civil rights violations are commonplace.
If the regime wants you to shut up, they don't arrest you. They send the FBI to Facebook’s offices and give veiled threats and tell lies. They give out national security letters. They have regular chats about which individual people and topics should be silenced. Facebook shuts you up for them. Censorship is outsourced.
The government can’t just create new money to pay off their 30 Trillion debt. That’s illegal. That would be crazy. That’s the kind of thing that third-world banana republics like Zimbabwe would do. The Federal Reserve can set interest rates at will. Banks can borrow at that rate, and then the government can borrow from those banks. Unlike other totally independent, private companies, the Fed was created by an act of Congress, and the guy running it only has that job as long as the president is happy with them. Funny how no other independent corporations (such as Kellogg’s and Nickelodeon) work that way. Monetizing debt goes through private banks who get a taste of the action. Monetizing debt is outsourced.
The second amendment protects Americans’ right to own guns. This has been a fight between gun-owners and gun-grabbers for a long time, because the latter is always inventing reasons why the second amendment actually means something other than what it says. A big part of that fight has been a fight to create—or not create—a large, centralized record of gun sales. A list of guns, their owners, and their addresses, is a list that the regime can use to confiscate. Without a list, their job is much harder. Luckily, Visa-Mastercard have come to the rescue. For the government, not you. They are now categorizing gun sales using their service. They are creating a record of all gun sales, with names, dates, and locations. All of these can be easily seized with a rubberstamp federal warrant. A national gun registry is outsourced.
People have forgotten what the military is for. The military is not for building your career resume and getting training. It’s not about the GI Bill. It’s not about doing something, because you have no direction, and you’re still figuring your life out. It’s not about empowering women. The US military exists for the sole purpose of killing foreigners. That’s what it is for.
US soldiers are subject to military law and conduct. US civilians operating in foreign countries are subject only to the laws of that nation. Enter private military contractors. PMCs can do everything that the US armed forces can’t. ACADEMI (formerly Blackwater) doesn’t worry about court-marshals, losing their pension, or suffering a dishonorable discharge. They are only subject to the laws of the nation they are in because they are civilians, and not, strictly speaking, combatants. The US hires mercenaries to do the things that would put a Marine in prison for life. Killing foreigners is outsourced.
If an Iraqi man is rounded up for suspicion of terrorism, the US government won’t torture you. They did that kind of stuff not that long ago. Problem is they got caught. The Pentagon's marketing dept. rebranded it enhanced interrogation. See? It’s cool, guys. Eliciting information from people by suffocating them isn’t torture. It’s just enhanced. Since it’s perfectly ethical, legal, and NOT torture, I haven’t heard any good reason why local police departments shouldn’t use the same techniques on suspects.
The Pentagon's marketing department couldn’t make it stick. So now they don’t torture people anymore. Instead, people are shipped to countries that have no moral confusion about torture, and are happy to use it liberally. These interrogations—enhanced with electrocution, suffocation, sleep deprivation, and starvation—are done by a foreign government, under the observation and supervision of a CIA agent, in the not-at-all ominously named “black sites.” Rest assured, an American is not torturing anyone. He’s merely standing next to a man who is torturing someone, and giving them specific instructions about where to apply the power drill to a person’s shin. Perfectly legal. Torture is outsourced.
The Five Eyes intelligence sharing program between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This has another purpose that isn’t widely understood. It is illegal for the CIA to perform any operations within the United States. The CIA is for foreign spying. They are not supposed to be the Stazi. British Intelligence, MI-6, however, can and do spy on Americans, and there is no law requiring the US to try and stop them. And there is no law that says MI-6 can’t spy on Americans and then share what they find with the CIA or FBI. This is just one way the government has found to outsource.
Facebook is not a social media company. Google is not a search engine. They are both advertisers. Their job is to collect data on you to maximize the impact of advertising. The products they offer you are just ways to collect that data to increase the value of their ad buys. The government can, with very little effort, take all of this info through a FISA warrant, which it turns out, are exceptionally easy to obtain. Also any tracking GPS data from your phone, any text messages, any web use history. They can even hijack your phone or XBox or Alexa and turn them into listening devices to record you live. But because there is a process of doing this by hijacking corporate data, and it’s legal because a secret FISA court wrote a warrant, but you aren’t told about this warrant. Even if they decide to violate your rights and take the info themselves without a warrant, this data can be used to build a parallel construction, a legal term used to bypass the “fruit from the poisoned tree” problem. See, if evidence is obtained illegally, the prosecutor can't bring it to trial. BUT, evidence obtained illegally can give the investigators enough information to know how to get what they want in a legal way. So they illegally get the info to find a path to legally get it. It’s a way to launder a corrupt investigation and it's all perfectly legal.
Or, they can go the easiest route of all: buy it. Yes, the government can simply purchase your data. Mass domestic surveillance is outsourced.
Outlawing slavery was one of the best achievements in human history. In China, many political prisoners are used as forced labor. A lot of what we buy is made from this labor. It is increasingly difficult to find things that weren’t made in China, and it's impossible to know which are made by people who choose to work and those who don’t. Slavery is outsourced.
All of these things would be completely illegal if the government did them. However, if they pay, intimidate, or bullshit a third party, then it’s all gravy.
At this rate, I expect that in 10 years Blackwater PMCs will be kicking in doors and flashbanging family dinners—FISA warrants in pocket, obtained with surveillance purchased from Facebook—for the crime of Mom making a Thor costume for her 8 year old without the express permission of Disney, when she should have purchased a licensed costume created by Uyghur slaves. Mom will be dragged in front of a rigged arbitration court (not an actual court of law) and sentenced to 25 years, because back in 2010 she carelessly checked the “I Agree” box on an EULA for a game on her phone.
Don’t worry, though. It’s not tyranny. The government is a private corporation. They can do whatever they want.
