Welcome To The Coming Surveillance Society

Welcome To The Coming Surveillance Society

For the last several years the surveillance society has been documented by many who fear that privacy is being eroded, and that freedoms are being slowly eliminated, for those who have not been keeping up, who always wondered how freedoms could be eroded and eliminated almost overnight, I invite you to visit the coming surveillance society, and get acquainted with just a few of the ways it will be monitoring and tracking your every move.

1. Satellites

A recent CNN video has confirmed that local law enforcement agencies and U.S. civilian agencies will have regular use of the nations spy Satellites. They are going to be providing high resolution images, privacy groups are concerned that the powers will be misused.

In the movie enemy of the state, spy satellites are used to not only listen, recognize faces, but to track from location to location. If such technology is misused, it could have the potential to harm and hinder freedoms that are valued in today's society.

2. Drones

It has just been announced that predator drones will now be used to watch and monitor the U.S. Mexican border. Predator drones are unmanned mini aircraft, equipped with cameras and in some cases weaponry.

The other notable factor is just how much money the U.S. government has spent on recruitment technology that can be masked as video games. They have even created virtual games that report back the users score. Could the U.S. be training a generation to kill with the remote ease of pushing a button, and with as little remorse?

Will citizens that step out of line be taken out of line as easily as the insurgents in the above video were? Only the future surveillance society will tell.

3. RFID Chips

RFID Chips are in more and more technology items and the chips can be used to track individuals within a few feet. These chips are in cellphones, bank cards, door passes, computers, and a variety of other items that the user carries in their possession on a daily basis.

The technology is becoming more and more invasive, and being used for a wider range of purposes and uses. Walmart recently announced it will start to use RFID in their retail clothing.

In the future, every item you buy, dollar exchanged, and electronic that you carry will may well have some form of RFID that will let the state monitor your activity. RFID tags that are tracked together, could give out a lot of information about the users that are carrying them, such as location and who else is present at the time.

IBM is even working on a Bar Code Reader’ for DNA, while Somark prefects ist's Invisible barcodes for humans.

It's the coming age of a truly advanced surveillance society.

4. Mind Reading

The technology is not only currently available, but there were suggestions that this technology would be used at airports in the future.

The hope for the future is to have technology that is so advanced that a simple invisible beam can be remotely placed on the forehead that will be able to tell the monitoring station all that the individual is thinking. Many would be surprised at how far advanced the technology has truly become.

5. Citizen Informant Network

Many do not realise that there is in place a vast citizen network in most cities that are fully capable of tracking and monitoring an average citizen from sunrise to sunset. Many do not realise that in most cities there are groups of citizens informants being used to keep track of average citizens 24/7.



In the book Closing The Gap, it's reveals that using occupational health and safety laws, communities, workplaces, educational facilities, and others are able to list individuals on community monitoring and watch lists, and have them monitored for years to come.

Not only is the society now set up that way, but it seems that the young are being constantly conditioned to think that this is acceptable, and the way that things should be.

6. CCTV Cameras

Though the U.K. constantly come under fire, and are known for having the most CCTV cameras than any other country. The U.K. has one CCTV camera for every 14 people. Many major world cities are catching up. Cities such as New York, Washington and Toronto are added more and more CCTV cameras.

New York has steadily been increasing it's use of CCTV, since the bombings, and cities like Toronto increased their CCTV usage for the G20 summit that was held in that city. It's reported that CCTV's were installed on nearly every single corner of the Toronto downtown core.

In future those quite little walks and private outings that were enjoyed my many may well no longer exist. Everywhere you go, you may well have someone, or something mechanical monitoring your every move. Giving up privacy for what is a sense of security, but is the trade off truly worth it? Only the citizens of the surveillance society can decide this in future.

7. Online Privacy

More and more laws are being enacted that could challenge online privacy, and anonymity in the future.
China is trying to rapidly end anonymity online. The reason the internet has been so successful and far reaching is that it provides expression, intelligent exchange, and a wide range of ideas not normally found offline. Also because you can be anyone and anything online, you get a wider range of opinions, truthful opinions, and ideas than you might otherwise have. The lightening fast paced exchange of information might not have happened as readily if everyone's true information had to be revealed. Individuals who blow the whistle to sites such as Conspiracy TV, wikileaks, etc, might not have happened without this essential element of the Internet, and now those freedoms are being directly challenged in many far reaching, and unacceptable ways.

8. Pre-Crime Policing Technology

From the U.K. to the U.S. police and other agencies are starting to dabble in pre-crime policing technology. Technology that could well tell you when someone is about to commit a crime, or rather when the technology tells you that someone is about to commit a crime. The U.S. is even discussing parole based on this technology. Individuals in future could have their stay in jail, shortened or extended based on technology.

In the U.K. C.R.U.S.H. evaluates crime records, intelligence briefings, criminal profiles and weather reports, to try and determine if a crime is about to occur. It's technology that will be able to prove you guilty, before you have a chance to declare your innocence.

9. Minority Report Ads

These are billboards that are already being developed by Japanese firm NEC. The billboards would use face recognition technology to confirm gender, age, and other factors and then proposition ads accordingly. The faces supposedly will not be stored for every long, but this is just one more way that consumers will be placed under surveillance, and advertised to directly. The name of this technology in Japan is called the Next Generation Digital Signage Solution.

In the U.S. IBM is leading the way for this type of Digital Advertising technology. Train stations, bus stops, and the sides of buildings. Surveillance and advertising all rolled into one. IBM says that consumers will only be shown adverts geared to the individual.

In the city of Leon in Mexico, everything will soon be linked to your iris scans. Technology is being implemented that will access all of your data based on your iris scan. Be it entering your home, opening a car door, going to work, the pharmacy to have a prescription filled, or accessing your medical records, it will all be based on your iris scan.

The creator of this system, believes that every person, place and thing on the planet will be connected to this system within the next 10 years.

10. Social Networking Sites

Our society just loves social networking sites. Seeing who we can connect with, making new friends, catching up with old. We love our social circles, and oddly so does that state for the purposes of monitoring, tracking and surveillance.

One of the top social networking sites online is increasingly being used by law enforcement and others, as a profiling database. Police use it to trackdown the friends, family, and associates of individuals of interests. The site is used to see who is interconnected to whom. Your circle, those of your friends, and their friends. If a crime happens and an individual is sought, some social networking sites have been very helpful with tracking down the individual.

One site is so advanced some users get emails advising them that they might know specific individuals not listed on their friend list, but individuals based on who their extended circles know and associate with.

It's just one more way that you will be tracked, monitored and placed under surveillance in the future.

Welcome to the Surveillance Society. It's here.

Impasse. Open Secret

Impasse/Open Secret.

I have said this before, but I will say this again. What is happening is no longer a secret. This is now an open secret, everyone knows about it, but no one says anything about it.

So it's not as if what is happening to targets is a secret. Even though the mainstream media has not exactly broken the story, the story is broken, it is out there. Now some even with all the evidence will continue to sing the same song, oh targets are crazy, but enough of you now know, are aware, and are part of the secret club, so that you can understand that a lot of what has been presented is truth.

So I am having a Gary Webb moment, perhaps bad example to use, but all I mean by this is, I have broken this story, it's big, and I expect the media to come and take up the story. I expect people to be grateful for the truth, (I really don't), but even if the mainstream would not cover this, I have spent the last four years online hearing about how the mainstream hides the truth, how we are being lied to, how there is a conspiracy, and that it seeks to harm us, well know what, I have just given you a conspiracy, told you the truth, and tried to help not just targets, but others.

Is the none mainstream rushing to share and publish the story, are they rushing to make sure the truth comes to light? No they are doing exactly what the mainstream does, or what they first did with the Mai Lia Massacre or what they totally did with the Gary Webb story. It's all out there, people know, but no one in authority, no one responsible, and even most on the lower levels will do anything about it. This is why truth does not get revealed, this is why conspiracies exist. Often they are not dark little secrets that no one knows about, no in fact they are often open secrets that happen in pockets, with sometimes thousands, upon thousands being aware, but feeling bound to silence or secrecy.

Impasse. I think I have done most of what I set out to do, as far as discovering what was happen, getting the concept more normalized, but getting it fully exposed takes a village. I know the members of this village have first been silenced, unable to speak. I also know that many have given their loyalty and allegiance to this system, but if you don't speak the truth, get this revealed then who will?

I don't expect anyone to break the law exactly, but there are often cleaver ways of doing things if you wish to do them. I am ok with writing the articles, and doing the research that I can do, in fact if I could find a way, I would spend most of my time doing research, yes I am boring that way, but I find it fun.

Anyways so I am at an impasse, I have done what I was suppose to do for the most part. I even figured out a couple of other conspiracies along the way. Speaking of which, the civilian spy force are now clear on this right. You are what will be the heart and soul of the surveillance network that is formed? It's happening slowly, and quietly, you are being bound in secrecy, so you can not speak of it, but this New World Order is being built on the backbone of this civilian force army. You in your communities, villages, and hamlets, you are who will be the handmaids of the New World Order, their eyes, their ears, their hands. A global, one world, surveillance, society. You will punish their enemies, you will systemically help to remove them, and you will believe that you are doing it for good, that it is something that must be done, should be done. The state wills it and it will be so. This is no different than in any other time period, and most will never see it for the evil that it is. This is the truth, wither you will believe it or not is another story, but there it is. Open Secret, and my impasse.

I remain prayerful. I think in times such as this, that is what you can do. Anyways I am not sad, or discouraged, I am just like, ok this is what it is. I realise that people have to wrap their minds around this. I have now had years, and most are just starting to wrap their minds around this, so I am going to leave you with this to mull over, send out good wishes, and come back to it and see what you say. In the meantime, if anyone out there in society has any good ideas, please feel free to leave a comment.


Thanks,

Facebook friend or foe?

Facebook.

CIA government database opperation?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpLNlSKugHw

What if I said to you, fill out this survey for me. It will have information such as
-Resume
-former jobs
-places you have been
-books you have read
-all your friends
-family
-lovers
-associates
-old schools
-old companies
-who you associate with now
-group affiliations
-religious

It will also have any other personal details that you want to provide.

I am not only going to use this information to profile you, but to help me in profiling those around you. I will use the information to advertise to you, to help you find groups and other people that might be of interest to you, but I will also use it for other purposes, would you say yes?
What if I told you that this information would some day be used to find you, and anyone associated with you, should you speak out against the government?

What If I told you this information would be used to find you should you commit a crime, or just be accused of one, guilty or not.

What if I told you this info would be used to find you, should you ever flee the country, or try to go underground?

Don't believe it, think again, Facebook is so much more than you expected.

Let's say something happens and you have to go on the run, who is going to help you? It's not usually going to be strangers, we are all commented. By giving out who you went to high school, middle school, university with, you have cut off that circle. By giving out the groups you are associated with, you have cut off that circle. By giving out the places you have been, you have cut off that circle. Library records, now they have a way to look for you based on reading habits. Etc.
You are boxing yourself into a corner and don't even know it. If the day ever comes when something does happen, you blog something someone does not like, you make a comment, you have to pack and leave for any reason, no one will be able to help you, because the information is out there.

The pictures you share, all those biometrically recognisable faces. Everything you put out there is shared, and once the information is out there, it is not getting erased. Once it's on the net, expect it to be there forever.

I don't use facebook, but I know others who do. I have heard a couple of fun stories. When people commit crimes or are accused of crimes, wanted for questioning, etc, one of the first things cops do is go to facebook. They find out who people's friends are, their families, connections are, where they have been, group affiliations etc.

I also had one person who does not use facebook anymore tell me, that when they were on the site, they had a pop up message, I don't know what it's called, but apparently you have lists of friends, and they have friends, well the pop up said, based on your list, you might know this person and might want to add them to your friendship list. The person in question who got the pop up, did know the person and it scared this person enough to get them off facebook. They are cross checking and scanning information. Seeing who knows who, who had what affiliations, who went to school with who, who is connected. Connections that you might not even think about, yet they knew.

I am not saying this can only be used for criminals, but I am saying if you value your privacy and the time ever comes when you have to hide, get out of the country, or disagree with the government, are accused of a crime even falsely, you have no place to hide. They know who is a friend of a friend of a friend, who is associated with this group, who went to this place, that, in their past, if you are on the run, where you are likely to go, and who you are likely to connect with, and who those people are connected with.

People nowadays are different than people of the past. Technology can help us, but look at the type of society that we are in. We are coming up on a surveillance society, and because of that, it might be a good idea, to not provide the government database with all your information. Information that you would be peeved off at to realise that others had, if they got it in some
other way, but information that you are all too willing to freely give and share.

Use facebook if you want, but just be aware of what you are giving out. It's not a matter of being I have done nothing wrong, I have nothing to worry about, the time will come where that will not matter. Becareful about what you are putting out there.

Also keep in mind that this information is being aggregated with other lists and other bits of information to paint a very detailed picture of you.

Don't get me wrong, facebook from what I have heard is a great way to get together groups, etc, but if those groups are all being put together on a government controlled website, is that a good idea for your specific group? Would you go to FBI, or CIA head quarters and hold your meetings there? If so then you have nothing to worry about, or think about.

Yes they also keep trying to get me to use facebook, and I always give the same response.
