Turnabout is Fair Play
Occasionally I like to write an idealistic or humorous solution to problems that plague our society, the biggest problems being of course government sponsored, and funded by involuntary taxpayer support. My last solution, how to cure our political class from illegal, un-Constitutional and un-necessary military deployments was to draft them and/or their children into the military. Specifically, draft them into combat units with the proviso that, should combat be necessary, their children will be on the spearhead. We like to call it "lead by example" in the military.
This time I would like to humbly offer my proposal to help fight terrorism, it is called GIP which stands for Government Information Program. GIP will allow the citizens of this nation to have total information on their government employees and all public servants of agencies which have the power to investigate or surveill the citizenry of our great nation. Access to this information will help us fight terrorism and that should be all the justification we need so don't bother asking questions.
GIP would be available only within the United States or to United States citizens via the Internet. Other entities who desire to view this information would have to show a valid reason to need this information, such as random curiosity. Entities other than US citizens who desire to view this information would have to sign a disclaimer under penalty of law stating they will not use the information for malicious purposes.
GIP will be simple and fun for both the citizens as well as for those who are kept under close scrutiny. Imagine the hours of fun you can have sifting through the personal records of your favorite congressman's credit card receipts!
GIP will also allow citizens to post information regarding their favorite public servants at any level. This information will be available to all, including credit agencies, and will not even need to be validated. To prevent people from posting false information, anyone who submits data will be required to promise not to be untruthful. Because we don't want to discourage the posting of what might be potentially valuable information, we will not prosecute those who post false data.
GIP will be comprehensive, it will include but not be limited to the following, access to all electronic records of public servants from credit card purchases to what books they check out from the library. All police records, including arrests that did not result in a conviction will also be made available as well as secret FBI files. You will also be able to view their bank accounts and financial records, including secret offshore accounts.
Suspicious patterns will be tracked by our computers and random warrants will be issued for arrest. Some examples of suspicious activity would be donations to questionable charitable organizations, or worse, no donations at all. Spending too much or too little on groceries, purchase of bomb making materials such as Tupperware, nails, duct tape or diesel fuel in any quantity whatsoever are also considered evidence sufficient to issue a warrant for search and seizure of property.
But the best part of GIP will be the active surveillance cameras, we call them GIPCAMS, and they will be mounted literally everywhere. GIPCAMS will be installed in every government vehicle, allowing you to not only see who is driving but also where they are taking the vehicle. GIPCAMS will also be installed at the public servants workplace so we can see if they are working and more importantly, what they are working on. GIPCAM will of course be installed in every room of the public servants home, especially that all important bedroom. Of course users of the GIP system will have to promise they won't use the GIPCAM for voyeuristic purposes.
GIP will also require a daily urine sample to be submitted by all government employees and public servants. These samples will be tested by the cheapest laboratory available and should a positive sample be found, the public servant will then be accused of drug abuse. As drug abusers, they will of course forfeit any Constitutionally guaranteed rights and be subject to unfavorable personnel action such as being fired.
Just for fun, there will be a lottery and the winners will get to don high tech SWAT gear, receive an abbreviated training course on "dynamic entry" and then go to the public servants house and raid them. I don't know about you but I can't wait for the rush of watching the tear gas grenade light the curtains on fire, hosing down the family dog with 9mm rounds and ripping their house to pieces! Best of all though, I want to see the fear in their eyes as I tower over them in my black Ninja suit as I glare at them menacingly through my face mask.
Any property seized in the raid will become the personal property of the GIP program but don't worry, we'll probably let you keep most of it, ostensibly for the next SWAT raid you go on! Public servants who feel they were wrongly raided by GIP SWAT teams will have the recourse of filing a complaint but trust me, any investigation we do will surely find that you are completely innocent, even if we have to destroy evidence to do it. We here at GIP feel intense loyalty to our people, especially those who risk their lives in GIP sponsored SWAT raids against obvious terrorists.
Now for the best part though. You may ask how can we afford a program like GIP and the answer is simple, GIP is self funding. Every public servant will be required to purchase all the necessary equipment to allow us to spy on them. Those who cannot pay will either have their wages garnished or their homes and property seized to help us do so.
I think that every true American who is not a cowardly terrorist seeking to overthrow America, kill innocent children and hurt puppies will want GIP to be implemented as soon as possible. Write your Congressman or Senator today and let them know that you support GIP and are demanding it's implementation immediately.
