These boxes that the government is giving us $40 coupons for
supposedly DTV converters are not really DTV converters !

Yes, they do convert a digital tv signal to analog, but at what price.
The price is actually your privacy. What they don't tell you is that
these "converters" are actually spy devices, developed so the
government can tune in on any household at any time and watch your
activities, as well as monitoring your spending habits, television
show preferences, and other personal details which will allow them to
sell these lists to marketers to promote their goods to matched
markets. That is why when you sign up for your DTV coupon(s) you
provide your name and address, they then give you a card with a one of
a kind number, and when you purchase your approved converter, the
store must register the serial number of that converter to match your
government coupon. Thus, that serial number becomes your personal
code with which the government can track you.

But it does not stop there. These devices do actually allow the
government to obtain your financial data, and even watch you in your
own home, and hear you speaking. When they said "big brother is
watching" years ago, no one fathomed what was to come. Big brother
has arrived, and lives right on top of your television. The
government can hone in on anyone at any time. They could be watching
YOU right now, if you have your DTV converter. This box may have only
cost you ten dollars more than the value of the coupon, but you'll pay
dearly wiht your privacy and freedoms for the rest of your life.

The only way to prevent this infringement of our privacy is to refuse
to purchase these converters, If you already ordered your coupons,
send them back when you receive them, marked "return to sender, person
unknown".

Please pass this message on to others .....

Big brother is watching you !!!!

Are you saying that these boxes have built-in video cameras to be used
to spy on us?

Why do I have the feeling that the OP probably has his own personal
black helicopter following him around?

What a freakin idiot.

To say the government is spying on us through HD converters is moronic.
