History shows that the use of forced nudity by a state that is descending into fascism is powerfully effective in controlling and subduing populations.
Thanks to the Bush Regime's SHOCK and AWE and his christian mentors, those of the Opus Dei, Evangelical Theocrats, the citizens of America are being herded into compliant prisoners of and by the Corporate 1 %; Big Oil, Big Churches, Big Pharma, Big Banks and Homeland Security Bullies.
We've been witnessing the over-step of security and religious bigots in many Republican governed states and Congress members of The Family political ilk.
Because of 9/11, the airports became the first line of defense with the TSA scanners, full body pat downs etc., all for our protection and safety, thanks to our Dear Government, or so we first thought:
How the US uses sexual humiliation as a political tool to control the masses
Our surveillance state shown considerable determination to intrude on citizens sexually. There's the sexual abuse of prisoners at Bagram – der Spiegel reports that "former inmates report incidents of … various forms of sexual humiliation. In some cases, an interrogator would place his penis along the face of the detainee while he was being questioned. Other inmates were raped with sticks or threatened with anal sex". There was the stripping of Bradley Manning is solitary confinement. And there's the policy set up after the story of the "underwear bomber" to grope US travelers genitally or else force them to go through a machine – made by a company, Rapiscan, owned by terror profiteer and former DHA czar Michael Chertoff – with images so vivid that it has been called the "pornoscanner".

..you don't want the state having the power to strip your clothes off. History shows that the use of forced nudity by a state that is descending into fascism is powerfully effective in controlling and subduing populations.
The political use of forced nudity by anti-democratic regimes is long established. Forcing people to undress is the first step in breaking down their sense of individuality and dignity and reinforcing their powerlessness. Enslaved women were sold naked on the blocks in the American south, and adolescent male slaves served young white ladies at table in the south, while they themselves were naked: their invisible humiliation was a trope for their emasculation. Jewish prisoners herded into concentration camps were stripped of clothing and photographed naked, as iconic images of that Holocaust reiterated.
Are you getting the picture??
With the war on women and homosexuals day in and day out by the exposure of the Sexually disturbed catholic vigilantes, thanks to Rick Santorum's and The Pope's messages of late, both talking pieces of different/same factions with Corporate PAC Money, humiliate, demean and shame the 99%.
Since the formation of OWS we've seen the local police become intruders of our Right to Protest, speak freely and demonstrate as 'free' citizens in a phony democracy.

Chris Hedges wrote in his riveting account of the NDAA: "There are now 1,271 government agencies and 1,931 private companies that work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States, the Washington Post reported in a 2010 series by Dana Priest and William M Arken. There are 854,000 people with top-secret security clearances, the reporters wrote, and in Washington, DC, and the surrounding area 33 building complexes for top-secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September 2011."
This enormous new sector of the economy has a multi-billion-dollar vested interest in setting up a system to surveil, physically intimidate and prey upon the rest of American society.
If you are not exclaiming WHAT THE FUCK yet, you have a PROBLEM!!
The 99% is under attack in so many ways that are becoming more OBVIOUS each passing day and so much of it under the CORPORATE POLITICAL CHRISTIAN GUISE!
This is not just an invasion of our privacy, this is an all out ONSLAUGHT on our humanity, especially if you are a woman, child, gay, black and non-christian!
What the hell is next??
