Just for the record

Let it be! All services on my trail!

This scene reminded me of Vadim and a remark of his. After the talk about wiretapping, he came in one day saying with accented seriousness:

- It is normal for our phones to be tapped. I have people from all the services in my group - and I think he listed a few minorities. They keep us under observation because we are a large group, lest someone get the idea to arm fifty people and stage a coup d'état.

But correlating with El Chupacabra from the Lady's River, I can't help but remember and associate listening to the phones with an outing of his - just like that diva.

After I expressed their group's grievances to management, their response was harsh - but I understood over time that there was nothing else to answer - their claims sounded like they wanted to take the reins, and they were told that if they wanted they could start their own group we just ask them not to use our logo. This conflict had been going on for too long and after countless failed mediations he had given up trying to satisfy the absurd demands.

When he found out, from the services - well, I could say services because I forgot to mention that this Chupacabra apparently worked at sere.i.i. - from the Horror sisters, that he is also on the blacklist, he nervously came to a meeting, at the end of which he asked if he was also on the list and, learning that the answer was positive, he nervously got up from his chair and exclaimed :

- Should we record everything we talk about? (he's lucky he was well mannered and didn't snap)

To which I, short and sweet:

- Yes!

I obviously had nothing to hide. However, it is ethical to record a face-to-face discussion with those present as opposed to listening to the "discussions" in the marital bed.

I link again with the Great City - this is what we talked about once in our group - but we meant to record our group discussion about philosophy and then listen to it again after some time has passed to see if we understand things differently.

Those with zero IQ, who do not distinguish ideational nuances, but listen on the phone, understood that they had to listen to us and repeat what we said. It was about discernment, but it was difficult to penetrate the meaning in the minds of the "intellectuals".

And finally about the new service - I recorded a discussion about a plan that targeted me personally (I recorded it because I had set some goals and had not written anything down). The psychologist I had approached when I arrived in Kronstadt, he later asked me something on the phone that seemed to suggest I hadn't asked for permission. Being for personal use, being services, not things being recorded to be used against you, I think it was permissible. I do not rule out the possibility of having software installed to track my activity. But I really don't know, I haven't used anything like that and I only have vague suspicions who could have implanted such software.
