RE: Ethical ramifications of, The PRIME-DIRECTIVE
Oh but it is for the safety of the kids!!! We need to be sure they are in a healthy nurturing home, to do that we need the camera's and microphones so we can be sure the kids are protected.
Any time you hear the phrase "It's for the kids" be wary, be very wary.
I see the weaponization of kids as one more check box filled in the Georgia Guide Stone, or in any UN/New World order Agenda in decreasing the population.
By looking in to peoples homes, by invading peoples and nations borders we learn what the fears are and how to make those fears real.
Governments and people have passed the need to justify their actions, they just say it's "For the Kids"...If you object then you must be some sort of child hater/abuser. They learned that Bush's "You are either with us, or against us" method did not work so well, so now the governments hold the children up as shields against flash back from the general population.
100% this.
