One of the ways is to scare citizens with a thought that they are under constant threat of terrorist attack. In this case people will give away their freedoms to government themselves on a “golden tray”. Look how news brainwash our minds today. They show people saying: ” I embrace total body scan checks at the airports. I feel safer now.” Step by step, news and different kinds of polls will demonstrate us on TV that people embrace such type of things: scans, checks etc. So, that they (such checks and surveillance) will be adopted as a normal things in our day-to-day lives, as a law. And,very soon, in the nearest future, every single person will be under constant video and audio surveillance. Every single person will have a chip implanted into him/her, and every room in our houses and apartments will have video cameras directly connected to law enforcement agencies, and each of our moves will be under constant surveillance. But when people realize what they did, that they had given away their freedom, it will be too late.
Bright example: Nobody believed at the beginning that the USSR one day would become a totalitarian state. It started form small small giveaways of freedoms. but when people realized what did they do to themselves, it was too late. Those who voiced concerns and protests where proclaimed “the enemies of soviet people”, thrown to jails (GULAGs) and disappeared.
