He would never let us be untouched. He will always trace us as long as we live in the world he called Mine.

How many people realise that we have been haunted by some elites and their associates, the so-called The Eye, who sought to own the world?. The Eye has played it well and fooled us using a mischievous ways, too subtle that we couldn’t see it through our naked eyes. We adopt his games as new lifestyle, as a job, as entertainment, goals and even dreams without noticing that we have voluntarily let ourselves to be watched, to be controlled and herded like mindless animals. 

This is how surveillance work through the currently prevalent social medias. Utilising the vantage point of satellites and internet, The Eye gathered information to analyse and assess our demography prior to projecting his strategy of modern colonialism, if not slavery. In this common era, where pacts, multinational treaty, bill of rights, and simply common sense, have confined The Eye to invade one country or community without any consequences. So The Eye devised a new method to lure people into his trap.

In the attempt to implement the method, The Eye confidentially partnered with famous and pervading “social networks” companies. Though these companies claimed to be independent, how the data travel along the interconnected wire system, the network, have been tapped and collected into his data bank for The Eye personal use all in politics, economy, and social sector. Well, the abuse of power.

Let’s take a snap look at the way The Eye is spying the realm of politics. The Eye has access to this advanced quantum mechanic-based-product to access sensitive information and to target invaluable subjects (countries or individuals) in obtaining his personal interest. Maybe this notion could be an idea to explain the political unrest happened in Indonesia around 98s or to examine the individual-initiated-movement that had caused a turmoil in the North Africa to Middle East called The Arab Spring. It wasn’t just the two tragedies, but many other warfare and terrorism happened around the globe might be his plot.

In the scope of economy, The Eye utilised our published and even classified information to peep our consumption preferences. Hence, he could define his new business line, what to sell you instead of giving offering you what you need. Using manipulating advertisement, The Eye shaped an idea and image that define consumers preference. This is why we see whitening products promoted in the tropical countries and vice versa.

Then, the most widespread but perfectly veiled surveillance was The Eye haunting our daily lives through his broadcasting media. By promoting follies, luxury and the masked truth of feudalism, The Eye is feeding us lies while recreating our reality, our culture and our sense of self.  And what we do? we consciously leave trace of our cosmic journey for him watch. We share our locations on Path or Foursquare, we publish our moments on Instagram or Facebook, our conversations on Twitter and Whatsapp, and map our professional endeavours on LinkedIn.

In other words, we happily let him shoot our own legs. We raise the flag to welcome him into our life that is supposed to be private but free. I do not impart this idea to prevent us from living the modern life. It’s more like, I am trying to remind us to be more conscious, to take some time to read the terms and conditions, albeit very boring and troublesome, as well as to make an effort to click “Reject All”

This world would never be ours as we thought it would be. Independence is an oxymoron. It may exist in our imagination, but as de facto, especially in the cyberspace, we are haunted!.
