Tears For Fears

Mad World (Tears For Fears)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

Children waitin' for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sits and listen, sits and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
A raunchy young world
Mad world.

Bertrand Russell (The Impact of Science on Society - 1953)
Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. . . .

Google and CIA Invest in a Minority Report-Like Technology That May Make Our World a Less Certain Place

WIRED: Google, CIA Invest in ‘Future’ of Web Monitoring
The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come.

“The cool thing is, you can actually predict the curve, in many cases,” says company CEO Christopher Ahlberg, a former Swedish Army Ranger with a PhD in computer science.

It’s not the very first time Google has done business with America’s spy agencies. Long before it reportedly enlisted the help of the National Security Agency to secure its networks, Google sold equipment to the secret signals-intelligence group. In-Q-Tel backed the mapping firm Keyhole, which was bought by Google in 2004 — and then became the backbone for Google Earth.
This appears to be the first time, however, that the intelligence community and Google have funded the same startup, at the same time. No one is accusing Google of directly collaborating with the CIA.

Group Calls for Hearings Into Google’s Ties to CIA and NSA
http://www.infowars.com/group-calls-for-hearings-into-googles-ties-to-cia-and-nsa/print/

A History of Google Government Ties – (Google accused of criminal intent over StreetView data)
In 2005, In-Q-Tel , described as a venture capital firm set up by the CIA to “identify and invest in companies developing cutting-edge information technologies that serve United States national security interests,” was linked to Google through the sale of the corporation’s stock.
Google sold Keyhole, Inc., to the CIA’s In-Q-Tel in 2004. Keyhole does work in “geospatial data visualization applications” of the sort that work as the engine behind GoogleEarth.
In addition to Google, the CIA and the spook community have compromised Facebook and the social networks. Last December, the Electronic Frontier Foundation sued the CIA, the US Department of Defense, Department of Justice and three other government agencies for allegedly refusing to release information about how they are using social networks in surveillance and investigations.
Facebook, like Google, is also linked to the CIA’s In-Q-Tel. The social network received venture capital from Accel Partners. Its manager James Breyer was formerly chairman of the National Venture Capital Association, and served on the board with Gilman Louie, CEO of In-Q-Tel. Dr. Anita Jones also served on the In-Q-Tel’s board. She had been director of Defense Research and Engineering for the US Department of Defense.
“Although the project was initially conceived by media cover star Mark Zuckerberg, the real face behind Facebook is the 40-year-old Silicon Valley venture capitalist and futurist philosopher Peter Thiel. There are only three board members on Facebook, and they are Thiel, Zuckerberg and a third investor called Jim Breyer from a venture capital firm called Accel Partners,” writes Tom Hodgkinson of The Guardian.

The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

President Eisenhower warned us of the “'Military-Industrial' Complex”:
President of the United States (and former General of the Army) Dwight D. Eisenhower used the term [“military-industrial complex”] in his Farewell Address to the Nation on January 17, 1961:
“A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction...
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.
