Printable RFID is set to revolutionise the surveillance state. Ink laced with graphite is now a whisker away from mass production. This will allow for RFID to be produced very inexpensively, requiring nothing more than the specialised ink, and a printer. Rather than the surveillance state becoming a distant and obviously alien entity, it is set to become ever more pervasive.
When George Orwell wrote 1984, he described a horrific future in which the central authority ruled over everyone through censorship and control of information. That nightmare world has come to be our reality. Orwell's imaginary world had an all-powerful State standing in opposition to the controlled people. As the roll out of RFID shews, the neo-Orwellian State is much more dangerous than the one he envisaged, as the 'us' and 'them' distinction has become eroded to the point that we are able to buy, and implement, the methods of our own serfdom.
Horrific as it seems, WE are the New World Order. It is said that real change comes from within. This truth offers the only solution to the burgeoning Police State and International Order. Disconnecting from the Establishment's society, and rejecting their glossy and fancy gadgets is our only hope for salvation. This is not going to be easy, but the alternative is a future which makes the tyranny of the present seem like utopia.
