Google+ Needs To Know What You Look Like

Do you remember "Back in the day" when we all first got on the internet?
Do you remember "No matter what, NEVER give out your personal information to ANYONE online!"
So what the heck changed?
I am really beginning to think the conspiracy theorists are right and that social networks ARE info gathering tools for TPTB.
Okay...I'm paranoid anyway.
But I was looking at Google Webmaster Tools and looking into how to add author information to search results.
It said I couldn't because I didn't have a Google+ Profile.
Now get this....
"If you want your authorship information to appear in search results for the content you create, you'll need a Google+ Profile with a good, recognizable headshot as your profile photo."
What?
Mug shots now?
"Turn right please". 
"Yes citizen...give us your real name, address and a good, recognizable headshot so when we start culling...I mean so we can...oh forget it! We just really wanna know who you are, where you are and what you look like for our Masters."
Or again...maybe I am just being paranoid.

Big Brother and Spy Satellites

I was reading "The Being"'s last post and something in it made me think of something else.
"actually it turned out that ALL OF SOCIETY was filmed and still is and for the most part, most of society does not even know...they call this secret filming by the government Big Brother...and yes, it is quite real and all things are filmed...without your consent or knowledge!"
I went looking and found this......

Satellites Spy on Washington from on High
Washington, D.C., home of the CIA, National Security Administration (NSA) and FBI, is a well-known haven for spies and surveillance. But new satellite pictures of the White House, Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial show these government agencies aren't the only ones watching and being watched.
These latest images from Dulles, Va., satellite-imaging company, GeoEye, are among the first to be collected by the GeoEye 1, a satellite launched into polar orbit on September 6 that can "see" objects on Earth as small as 16 inches (0.41 meter) in size in black-and-white mode or 64.6 inches (1.64 meters) in color. Images from the GeoEye 1, which stands 20 feet (6.1 meters) high and weighs more than 4,300 pounds (1,950 kilograms), so impressed Google that the Internet search giant plans to add the satellite's high-resolution, digital color photos to Google Earth next month.

Now I have had a couple of friends that worked in different branches of military intelligence.
( I know, I know, that's an oxymoron)
Anyway, they all told me that whatever technology the goverment admits to having, you can figure they are really about 10 to 20 years beyond that.
