"It is said that one of the most effective ways to shatter someone's sense of self is to inflict violent trauma on them."
"But what about the population of the United States themselves, have they been subjected to this violent trauma in the last past half century? The JFK Assassination, MLK, RFK, Vietnam, Watergate, Iran-Contra, Enron & Worldcom, 9/11, The Iraq War, Lieman Brothers. It's hard not to see the last fifty years of american society is anything but a nightmarish train of abuse inflicted on the American Psyche. We're seeing the full effects of that Abuse in society today..."

Yes. The more violence we're exposed to the less impact such acts have upon us. Most sadly, we become numb to the horrors experienced by others after some point.

Network live IP video cameras directory Insecam.com
I believe I've covered most of the nations our RI members live in. I couldn't remember in which Asian country one of our RI members lived, whether it was China, Thailand, Vietnam or elsewhere. I might have gotten one wrong, though. If your country isn't listed, visit the link above and click on the "Countries" tab to locate it. Countries with the greatest number of surveillance cameras are listed first.
on edit: same facility in Tuscaloosa... omg, that's a Cameca LEAP 5000 R/XRTM high performance 3D atom probe microscope for nano-scale materials analysis:

panopticon, is the least of their concerns, they want into our heads:
In 1970, The New York Times Magazine hailed Jose Delgado as the “impassioned prophet of a new ‘psychocivilized society’ whose members would influence and alter their own mental functions.” They also called it “frightening.” His work eventually became engulfed in controversy. Strangers accused him of having secretly implanted stimoceivers into their brains. Delgado, who was Spanish, left the U.S. shortly after Congressional hearings in which he was accused of developing “totalitarian” mind-control devices. His work receded into the archives of history.
