The programmer/protagonist stays up all night unlocking the secret patterns beneath bar codes, until she realizes their true meaning and buries her head in her hands. "It was there all along," says a preacher's voice in the background.
Now consider these scenes from "Movement On Fire," which appear as rapid-fire image: A police car pulls up, the Development Party's fascistic logo on its side. (The logo looks a lot like the gunsights Sarah Palin used to target Democratic congressional districts before the Gabby Giffords shooting.) Inside a "Development Center" our brooding young hero watches his neighbors line up for handouts. A man carrying boxes bearing the Party symbol into a Development Center, guarded by a burly man whose black suit and dark glasses make him resemble a Secret Service agent. People chatter into their cell phones, each of which bears the Development Party's mark.
A police car. A Secret Service agent.

"By order of the Prince of the World, all people will report for the Universal Census. All people will be expected to report and be registered. At that time you will have the opportunity to pledge your allegiance to the Prince and receive your Economic Mark. And all those who refuse to receive the mark will ... be considered an enemy of the state."
The Development Centers in the Tea Party movement's video are strongly reminiscent of the One World Government centers depicted in Doughten's films, where a televised command to "report to field offices" means it's time to submit to UNITE, the "United Nations Imperium of Total Emergency":
