China Creates "Groundhog Day" Computer Forcing Citizens Backwards in Time - Every Day (SAT PAR News Aug 06, 2014) Though the 1993 film "Groundhog Day" with actor Bill Murray is an enjoyable fantasy for most people where the same day occurs over and over again, China has taken it seriously and made the concept policy in all of networked China. Using the computer equivalent of a massive DVR (Digital Video Recorder) a huge underground warehouse of supercomputers stored August 1, 2014 as the final day of all events in China. All new computer based transactions are intercepted and processed through the "Grand Temporal Filter One" as it is officially called.  This means in effect that any computer or phone activity will never progress past that date. News, government forms, laws, personal messaging, emails, any digital information will only respond up to that date. While ordinary citizens are stunned, historians are somewhat mollified that the past is preserved, but as each day goes by they note there is no new history, Sima Qian grandson with the same name of the famous historian notes, "It is like the world ended on August 1, and we live in a time capsule". Meanwhile demonstrations have broken out over failure to register babies being born and obtaining drivers licenses. The Chinese government released a statement today, "We are actively decreasing citizen activity to regulate growth and improve the economy. New activity will begin when stabilization has occurred."
