“Think about the power!”

Terrorists are everywhere, comrades. Be afraid! Your neighbor, your grocer, that greasy punk that screwed up your wheel alignment, that swarthy guy over there! Anybody could be a terrorist! Think of the power of being able to inform on them!

In East Germany, they say, there was one full-time Stasi agent or informer for every 66 citizens. Counting part-timers like the people in this creepy PSA, it might have gone as high as one for every 6.5. East Germany eventually imploded, but it was a hell on earth while it lasted. These “iwatch” people (notice how I didn’t use an obscenity there?) seem to think it sounds like fun.

H/T to Radley Balko.
