Google, CIA Invest in ‘Future’ of Web Monitoring Wired Magazine

The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future.
The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine “goes beyond search” by “looking at the ‘invisible links’ between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events.”

Thank Jah I'm just a little fish, flying below the radar of any importance.
Jah help my children and grandchildren save their freedom.

The FBI doesn't have as much to do with pot growing busts, but it's good info to know. Basically all email transactions and website activity will be able to be montiored without a warrant now. They aren't supposed to be able to look at the content, yet.

White House proposal would ease FBI access to records of Internet activity Washington Post

The Obama administration is seeking to make it easier for the FBI to compel companies to turn over records of an individual's Internet activity without a court order if agents deem the information relevant to a terrorism or intelligence investigation.

The administration wants to add just four words -- "electronic communication transactional records" -- to a list of items that the law says the FBI may demand without a judge's approval. Government lawyers say this category of information includes the addresses to which an Internet user sends e-mail; the times and dates e-mail was sent and received; and possibly a user's browser history. It does not include, the lawyers hasten to point out, the "content" of e-mail or other Internet communication.

Google Teams Up with CIA to Fund "Recorded Future" Startup Monitoring Websites, Blogs & Twitter Accounts

Investors at the CIA and Google are backing a company called "Recorded Future" that monitors tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts in real time in order to find patterns, events and relationships that may predict the future. The news comes amidst Google’s so-called "Wi-Spy" scandal, that refers to revelations that Google’s Street View cars operating in some thirty countries snooped on private Wi-Fi networks over the last three years.

Hi Spastic Gramps...

Look up The Foundation Trilogy.

See the power of such data collection and (more imortantly) how they are being used.

No one man is visible, but we as a class are under the gun, big time, if this gets perfected.
In a nutshell it means that they can not only predict the future, but influence it since they know it before it happens.

I'll check that out. I agree it's not about the individual. It's about how we are effected and influenced as a whole. One individual is worthless to them anyway. Knowing what one peasant is thinking does them no good. Knowing what all the different groups of peasants are thinking is priceless.

Wholly fuck. Google+CIA= end of world.
Google can:
1.se everything on your desktop
2.see all of your emails
3.see all of your photos in picassa and then facial recog them.
4. See where you go google maps google earth
5.see where you go on the internet.
6.see who your friends are and who their friend are
7. If you have a droid they could prolly also hear your phone calls.

If I had to guess I would say google has more direct access to & records of our personal activities than any other entity ever.

I'm sooo sad right now.

The News video says Google while driving around photographing also was recording home Wi-Fi networks too.

Shall we learn to encode our messages? That way they need more time to decode them and it will slow them down?

If you read the whole article about Google and the CIA you'll see that it refers to In-Q-Tel a whole lot. In-Q-Tel is the CIA's investment arm. Strangely enough In-Q-Tel was the major financier for the second round of money into Facebook.

What Does It Have to do With Facebook? cmswire

Just a tidbit of related trivia information. Coincidentally enough, folks connected to In-Q-Tel (former employees and present board members) apparently stood behind the second round of VC funding for Facebook, according to some sources.

Not to go into the conspiracy theory mode, but what can be a better playground for a data mining/intelligence project than Facebook with its gazillion users and feeds coming in from multiple other sources such as blogs, IMs, microblogging tools.

Hence, the note in Facebook’s privacy policy saying: "Facebook may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the Facebook service through the operation of the service (e.g., photo tags) in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience. By using Facebook, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States."

Only way to really be safe is to completely disconnect. Sometime in the future I bet it will be illegal to disconnect your house from the internet. They'll make up some excuse about your safety... blah blah blah. Why do you think the US government is so interested in getting EVERYONE connected to the internet? Makes their job easier to keep track of you.

This isn't far out, the government openly admits it needs better methods of collecting information on foreign and domestic threats. Who is to say you are not a considered a domestic threat to society with pushing cannabis normalization...
