Yep...big brother see's all.

What scares the hell out of me...is...I woke this morning with the song from REM stuck in my head..."Its the End of the World as We KNOW it"...

That is the song I played and 100 decibels, when the USA invaded Iraq in 1990. Fast forward 22 years and the world is still plagued by the same slave masters.

The world as we know it and were born into is perverse and rotten.

Navy Spyware Maps Your Home From Smartphone Camera

The U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center has developed a new piece of spyware to map your own house from an infected smartphone via its camera. It utilizes the GPS, accelerometers and other phone hardware to visually map out and spatially piece together the inside layout of your own home says The Washington Times:

The malware, dubbed “PlaceRaider,” “allows remote hackers to reconstruct rich, three-dimensional models of the smartphone owner’s personal indoor spaces through completely opportunistic use of the camera,” the researchers said in a study published last week.

Ahhh....the new iPhone 5 panoramic camera should be most useful to the Navy!

great thread! lots of awakened spirits posting.

one area that hasn't been addressed is how ppl have been programmed to snoop and snitch on others around them. not only do we have pervasive high tech. surveillance, we also have millions of sheeple cooperating with the system.

no harm, no crime should be the law of the land.

being a cannabis forum and dealing with the aggressive war on the best medication we need many here are sensitive and aware of what big brother is implementing against the best interests of its citizens.


I heard that they want to take away the net from ppl, According to the US the internet has made the ppl too smart too fast. They used to be able to control the ppl with their BULLSHIT news and now ppl reach out over the net and know that what they are saying is pure bullshit and they can't get away with all the bullshit they have been getting away with all these years. So the US doesn't like this...they feel we should be stopped. The US owns the internet and what they say about it goes according to them.
Again another bullshit idea we all have to put up with.. You really have to wonder how "information"/"truth" gets owned by a country? It's like saying you own the cannabis seed ffs!! BTW the US owns the cannabis seed lol..
They say that if they make up these rules and everyone just falls inline then they just keep making up these INSANE rules and moving on in this crazy direction without being stopped! WTF does that mean? I can see that if you look at what they have done todate they have gotten away with way too much as it is. They need to be stopped before they do more damage to this world headband 707

OH yeah the new show is coming out I think it's called "Bush the murderer" lol I was wondering when they would get around to that one .They have been trying to stop this show for a few years I heard now it's out lol FINALLY!! LOL TRUTH

Scrappy-doo

I got a piece of tape covering the camera on my laptop.

Lord knows how many times I've been handling, trimming, or inspecting buds right in front of my computer.

But I always wondered if it was possible for them to analyze your facial expressions and retinal activity while surfing the web. If they were building data profiles on people this would be useful to them. Like they track what page you are on and analyze your reactions to build a character analysis based on your reactions.

Funny enough I thought about this while watching porn online.

Civil Disobedience is a National Tradition !

Our government is NOT perfect. Clearly our laws arent perfect.
No way, the government should be attempting to control every aspect of the publics lives.

The Massive mistakes/corruption the public officials are making needs to be addressed.

Watch for government to become more asset forfeiture crazy !

Its all about control of the public's decisions.

VOTE and support your local Libertarian.

http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/the-next-generation-of-surveillance-it-is-important-for-the-public-to-know-that-some-of-these-capabilities-exist_02132013

The following video highlights one of the scariest surveillance technologies you’ve ever seen.

With Congress having recently authorized 30,000 drones to patrol America’s skies by 2015, this technology will soon become available to law enforcement officials all over the country.

It’s creator, Yiannis Antoniades, says that it’s the next generation of surveillance and as you’ll see, it’s capabilities are so advanced that it can actively scan an area encompassing 15 square miles – about the area of a medium sized city – from an altitude of 20,000 feet.

Moreover, it tracks every single moving object in its field of view, streaming the high definition video back to monitoring stations on the ground.

With 1.8 billion pixels it is the world’s highest resolution camera. ARGUS fits inside the belly of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.



Also known as Wide Area Persistent Stare, Argus is the equivalent of having up to 100 predators look at an area the size of a medium sized city at once.



Everything that is a moving object is being automatically tracked… You can see individuals crossing the street. You can see individuals walking in parking lots. There’s actually enough resolution to be able to see people waving their arms or what kind of clothes they wear.

You can pick the location of where you produce these images anywhere in the entire field of view.



Antoniades can open up to sixty five windows at once and see objects as small as six inches on the ground.



ARGUS streams live to the ground and also stores everything. One million terabytes of video per day.



ARGUS may be mounted on an armed UAV, a long range platform, or a developmental craft called the solar eagle that may some day stay aloft for years at a time.



We’re moving towards an increasingly electronic society where our movements are going to be tracked.

If you’re not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.

But, with hundreds of thousands of laws on the books and definitions for terrorist activity expanding to everything from minting your own silver coin to bringing a toy bubble gun to school, just about everyone is a terrorist or criminal in America today.

Now, consider this technology in the context of extra-judicial drone strikes initiated by artificial intelligence assessment parameters that automatically determine if you are a threat or not, and you can see how dangerous drones armed with these imaging systems will become.

How long before these military grade assault weapons of mass destruction are used on American citizens right here at home?

The NSA is opening the largest electronic data storage center in the world in Utah that is going to capture every thing that anyone does with any electronic signature.
Send an email, text message. They get it first.
Make a call, it gets routed through them first.

If I text my wife and say, "Hey let's play hide the sausage when you get home", why the fuck do they care?
Use your debit card, credit card, check out a library book....there's a record of it.
Want to use cash instead of your bank or credit card? Swipe your Sams Club, Costco card, got that. Use your key fob at the grocery store, got that.
My question is, why in the FUCK, do they want to keep a record of what I, my neighbors, my 75 year old mother, you, or the girl down the street that turns tricks for rent money spend our money on? Why the fuck do they care if I check out "Ol' Yeller" or "The Hitchhikers guide to the Universe"?
Guess what I want to know, is why the fuck do we have spy agencies spying on us. It never was supposed to be this way and steps were put into law to prevent this, Yet here it is.
So yeah, whether they are interested in me or not, it bothers me that this is what we have come to.

you have a link for that?



EDIT: nevermind, bentom187 got it ...

Big Brother spyware Riot can even predict future crime

The software mines images posted on social networking sites such as
Criminals who pose a threat to national security could be caught before they have even committed an offence with software used to track their online behaviour, it is claimed.

Their future movements can be predicted by ‘mining’ vast amounts of information from social media websites including Facebook and Twitter.

After a few clicks, a detailed picture of their life, including information about their friends, can be built and used to predict where they might be in future and who with.

Campaigners described it as ‘the greatest challenge to civil liberties and digital freedom of our age’.

The ‘extreme-scale analytics’ program – called Riot, or Rapid Information Overlay Technology – has been created by Raytheon.

The US-based group, the world’s fifth largest defence contractor, said the software had not yet been sold to any clients.

However, it was shared with the US government as part of a joint research effort in 2010 to help build a national security system capable of analysing ‘trillions of entities’ from cyberspace.
Information posted on Twitter could also be used by the software (Picture: AFP/Getty)
Brian Urch, Raytheon’s ‘principal investigator’, explains in a video obtained by the Guardian that images posted by users on social networks can contain location details automatically embedded by smartphones.

Riot uses this information to reveal where the photographs were taken.

It also mines Twitter and Facebook data and sifts GPS information from Foursquare, a mobile phone app used by more than 25million people to alert friends of their whereabouts.

Mining from public websites for law enforcement is considered legal in most countries.

However, Nick Pickles, of Big Brother Watch, said the technology raised concerns about how data could be collected without being regulated.

He added: ‘This reinforces how privacy has been undermined online.

‘People have been sharing large information about themselves on social networks without knowing the consequences of it. Now companies are looking at how to join the dots.

‘I wouldn’t be surprised if the government and companies in Britain are looking at using it.’

Raytheon, which generated sales estimated at £16billion last year, said it did not want its demonstration video to be publicised on grounds of product confidentiality.

A spokesman added that Riot’s ‘innovative privacy features are the most robust that we’re aware of’.

"in a few years, the soldier, marine or special operator out on patrol might be able to record the facial features or iris signature of a suspicious person all from his or her smartphone — and at a distance, too. The Defense Department has awarded a $3 million research contract to California-based AOptix to examine its “Smart Mobile Identity” biometrics identification package, Danger Room has learned. At the end of two years of research to validate the concepts of what the company built, AOptix will provide the Defense Department with a hardware peripheral and software suite that turns a commercially available smartphone into a device that scans and transmits data from someone’s eyes, face, thumbs and voice.
[]
The company won’t say what operating system Smart Mobile Identity it’s configured to run on, but the Defense Department tends to like the relative cheapness and open architecture of Android devices. Yort promises the software will have a “very intuitive interface that leverages smartphone conventions.”
[]
Darpa-funded projects are already working on biometric identifier devices that can scan irises and even fingerprints from further distances than Smart Mobile Identity — to say nothing of next-gen biometrics projects that can scan thearea around your eye, your odor, and even the way you walk."

FAA moves closer to widespread US drone flights with plan for test sites

Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...s-to-create-6-drone-test-sites/#ixzz2L5uzKYKA

WASHINGTON – A future in which unmanned drones are as common in U.S. skies as helicopters and airliners has moved a step closer to reality with a government request for proposals to create six drone test sites around the country.

The Federal Aviation Administration made the request Thursday, kicking off what is anticipated to be an intense competition between states hoping to win one of the sites.

The FAA also posted online a draft plan for protecting people's privacy from the eyes in the sky. The plan would require each test site to follow federal and state laws and make a privacy policy publicly available.

Privacy advocates worry that a proliferation of drones will lead to a "surveillance society" in which the movements of Americans are routinely monitored, tracked, recorded and scrutinized by the authorities.

The military has come to rely heavily on drones overseas. Now there is tremendous demand to use drones in the U.S. for all kinds of tasks that are too dirty, dull or dangerous for manned aircraft. Drones, which range from the size of a hummingbird to the high-flying Global Hawks that weigh about 15,000 pounds without fuel, also are often cheaper than manned aircraft. The biggest market is expected to be state and local police departments.

Industry experts predict the takeoff of a multibillion-dollar market for civilian drones as soon as the FAA completes regulations to make sure they don't pose a safety hazard to other aircraft.

Potential civilian users are as varied as the drones themselves. Power companies want them to monitor transmission lines. Farmers want to fly them over fields to detect which crops need water. Ranchers want them to count cows. Film companies want to use drones to help make movies. Journalists are exploring drones' newsgathering potential.

The FAA plans to begin integrating drones starting with small aircraft weighing less than about 55 pounds. The agency forecasts an estimated 10,000 civilian drones will be in use in the U.S. within five years.

The FAA is required by a law enacted a year ago to develop sites where civilian and military drones can be tested in preparation for integration into U.S. airspace that's currently limited to manned aircraft.

The law also requires that the FAA allow drones wide access to U.S. airspace by 2015, but the agency is behind schedule on that.

The test sites are planned to evaluate what requirements are needed to ensure the drones don't collide with planes or endanger people or property on the ground. Remotely controlled drones don't have a pilot who can see other aircraft the way an onboard plane or helicopter pilot can.

There's also concern that links between drones and their on-the-ground operators can be broken or hacked, causing the operator to lose control of the aircraft.

"This research will give us valuable information about how best to ensure the safe introduction of this advanced technology into our nation's skies," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement.

The test sites are also expected to boost the local economy of the communities where they are located.

Customs and Border Patrol uses drones along the U.S.-Mexico border. And the FAA has granted several hundred permits to universities, police departments and other government agencies to use small, low-flying drones. For example, the sheriff's department in Montgomery County, Texas, has a 50-pound ShadowHawk helicopter drone intended to supplement its SWAT team.

The sheriff's department hasn't armed its drone, although the ShadowHawk can be equipped with a 40 mm grenade launcher and a 12-guage shotgun. The prospect of armed drones patrolling U.S. skies has alarmed some lawmakers and their constituents. More than a dozen bills have been introduced in Congress and state legislatures to curb drone use and protect privacy.

President Barack Obama was asked Thursday about concerns that the administration believes it's legal to strike American citizens abroad with drones and whether that's allowed against citizens in the U.S.

"There's never been a drone used on an American citizen on American soil," the president said, speaking during an online chat sponsored by Google in which he was promoting his policy initiatives.

"We respect and have a whole bunch of safeguards in terms of how we conduct counterterrorism operations outside of the United States. The rules outside of the United States are going to be different than the rules inside the United States, in part because our capacity, for example, to capture terrorists in the United States are very different than in the foothills or mountains of Afghanistan or Pakistan."

He said he would work with Congress to make sure the American public understands "what the constraints are, what the legal parameters are, and that's something that I take very seriously."

Earlier this week, an FAA official told a meeting of potential test site bidders that aviation regulations prohibit dropping anything from an aircraft, which could be interpreted to bar arming civilian drones, according to an industry official present at the meeting who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](Click image for enlarged version)[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Plasmonics[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] refers to the research area of enhanced electromagnetic properties of metallic nanostructures. The term plasmonics is derived from “plasmons”, which are the quanta associated with longitudinal waves propagating in matter through the collective motion of large numbers of electrons. Incident light irradiating these surfaces excites conduction electrons in the metal, and induces excitation of surface plasmons leading to enormous electromagnetic enhancement of spectral signature, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) for ultrasensitive detection of chemical and biological species. Biological process such as cell differentiation, cell division, apoptosis, phagocytosis and necrosis are associated with spatial reorganization of cellular components. Therefore new techniques are being developed in our laboratory to monitor the behavior of the molecules in key processes of the cell’s existence. External labeling of molecules of interest by chemical or recombinant techniques has enabled tracking of individual molecules using fluorescence microscopy with great sensitivity. In our laboratory, novel alternative microscopic techniques such as Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) that are chemically specific and allow the interrogation of molecules are being investigated.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nanoparticles are increasingly finding a wide application in the biological studies due to their unique physical and chemical properties. However, biological and medical applications would require nanoparticles to be conjugated to biomolecules. A universal approach for conjugation of silver colloidal nanoparticles to biomolecules has been developed in our group. Surface functionalized silver colloids were labeled with a Raman active dye and bioreceptor molecule and used as labels for cellular imaging. The silver colloidal nanoparticles are efficient substrates that exhibit SERS phenomenon by enhancing the scattering cross sections of conjugated Raman active molecules thus enabling highly sensitive biological probes. In addition SERS nanotechnology and confocal surface-enhanced Raman imaging (SERI) using a acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF)-based hyperspectral surface-enhanced Raman imaging (HSERI) system equipped with an intensified charged-coupled device has been developed to monitor the intracellular distribution of molecular species associated with biological abnormalities and localization of drugs and other cellular components within cells and thus offering a promising application for molecular signaling monitoring for nanomedicine applications.[/FONT]

Enforcement Procedures -- Existing laser technology will be tested at sobriety checkpoint sites to detect any amount of alcohol in the air of the passenger compartment of the vehicles passing by. This will give police officers reason to check further to determine if drivers are impaired, open container laws are violated, or underage drinking is taking place in the vehicle.

Much of what is described by the OP has been in place for years and years, or is only bogus extrapolation of reality. DNA of all babies is not being tracked, backscatter vans seek radioactivity not crime, facial recognition was proven ineffective years ago and was dropped by most everyone as a valid ID source, the NSA has never needed or worried over warrants, the stuff about 'high tech government scanners can see what you ate for breakfast from 165 feet away' is just silliness - its a laser scanner, one hospital in NY looking at employee hands (which was part of an infection propagation study) does not mean the feds are in your panties, "new software to track voices" has been in active use by the NSA since like the mid 1980's, etc. A lot of old research, study and "what if" programs piled together to appear to be an intentional conspiracy.

Face it - the NSA can (and does) do much more intrusive things than watching us wash our hands or try and sneak past a subway turnstile. But they largely can only track your use of technology and if they put a physical tail on you - growing covertly is the least of your problems!
