The sad truth is that the federal government is training its citizens to become domestic government snitches.
The introduction of the iPhone application of the Patriot app, which conveniently sounds similar to the non-patriotic and constitution-violating Patriot Act, caused many Americans to become concerned with the fact that people were being asked to spy on each other and report suspicious activity, again, similar to the DHS's If You See Something, Say Something Walmart campaign.
The iPhone application was created by Citizen Concepts, which according to their own website, is an application that empowers citizens to create safer, cleaner, and more efficient communities by leveraging social networking and mobile technology.
Although their own website portrays them as an independent organization, all one has to do is look at their page titled, The Team, to see that the company is made up of government insiders, including two employees that have worked with the DHS and the DoD.
Along with this spy-on-your-neighbor campaign, we also see the iWatch program, which tells Americans, again, to spy on each other.
It even has a list that defines potential terrorists as a person wearing clothing too big or too heavy for the weather.
People drawing school buildings or government buildings are also potential terrorists that must be reported to the feds, according to iWatch.
EcoSnoop, another spy on your neighbor iPhone application, tries to convince American citizens to spy on private office buildings and businesses and encourage them to report these so-called offenses.
Most Americans that watched the Super Bowl in 2010 remember the Audi commercial with the so-called Green Police that tagged American citizens with tickets and fines for committing eco-crimes.
What most Americans don't know, however, is that the Green Police was also the name given to the Secret Police, or Gestapo, under Adolf Hitler during his dictatorial regime.
