Recently the Department of Justice looked for submissions on their plans to place 18 CCTV cameras in Galway City. I sent in the one on behalf of the Defend Free Speech, Assembly, and Activity Campaign. (see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=61744 ). We raised various concerns, potential for misuse, invasion of privacy, issues over use of resources and inefficiency of CCTV as a deterrent, and the lack of real consultation as it seemed the decision had already been made to introduce these regardless of submissions made. The sham of a consutation process became even more obvious during the week. This is relevant to the whole country not just because of plans to bring in new CCTV cameras to 17 locations around the country, but because it shows how the government and state works. Anyway here is some information on the issue. read full story / add a comment

Europe is following the US in the snoop technology of the century. They will be supplying their citizens a health indentity card with an embedded microchip. Sounds good, but wait there's a catch. You will be able to be tracked everywhere you go, and have a brand with you almost like the cow. Plans are to eventually insert these into your beautiful body. Could this be the mark of the beast talked about in the Christian Bible? Could this be the final way to keep track of all of us without employing so many security guards, and policemen? Could this be a method of marking certain types of people as they did in the Holocaust? Please read the story from telegraph.co, and decide if this is what you want? read full story / add a comment
