From the transcript:
This is Jon Rappoport. Hello, everybody, and this is July 12, 2013, my monthly Solari Report. The title this month is “The Surveillance State and what it really means.” I’ve been writing a lot, as some of you know, about Ed Snowden. Spoke about that last month, and this has led to further contemplations of the National Security Agency, NSA, and the Surveillance State, what is it? What does it really mean? I’ve covered this from a number of points of view and angles and vectors and so I want to get down to the psychology behind it, and this is very important because it mirrors what’s happening to our society, and what’s been happening to this country and other countries for a long time now.
So in a recent article called “Excuse me, are you a Robot in the Surveillance State?” I mentioned a couple of anecdotes from the past. A couple of friends of mine in 1959 who were students at Cornell University decided to do a little spy experiment as they called it. So this is 1959, right? There’s a small airport in Ithaca, New York right next to Cornell, and one of the guys was coming in on a flight, one of those small prop flights, I think out of New York, late at night, landing in Ithaca. So his buddy was waiting for him in this little one-room terminal, probably the only guy besides maybe a security guard in the terminal that late at night.
