The Surveillance State - A New Era

http://www.activistpost.com/2012/05/texas-schools-to-begin-tracking.html

In an attempt to get more money from the state, a middle school and high school in Texas are implementing a program in which student IDs will be outfitted with radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips in order to track their movements around school.

If you’re unfamiliar with this technology, a great primer on the subject has been written by Brent Daggett for End the Lie and I highly recommend you take a few minutes to explore some of the other applications of RFID, many of which are nothing short of disturbing.

As is so often done when it comes to surveillance technology, this is being sold to us as something for our own good and the good of our children. This is identical to how the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is pushing their ludicrously unconstitutional license plate surveillance program I detail in the below video:



The Northside Independent School District (NISD) of San Antonio, Texas has already approved the tracking devices and according to local news outlet KVUE, an ABC affiliate, two schools in the district will have the program in place next year.

They characterize the RFID-equipped student IDs as somewhat “like a GPS for teachers and administrators” which will help them pinpoint the location of students around campus.

“Every parent wants us to know where their child is at school,” claimed NISD spokesman Pascual Gonzalez.

Amazing tiny insect robot spies. US military has designed spy drones so small that they are starting to look like tiny insects. Insect spies are used to get into areas that they normally wouldn't be able to reach. These secret insect drones are said to help the fight against terrorism/terrorists and help protect us.

Ya, they look cool and could also make a fun toy but is this something that could cause concern in the future?

People in the New York and Washington DC area have been reporting strange sightings of what were describe as tiny

machines hovering around different gatherings like the antiwar rally in Lafayette Square last month. A student swore these were not real bugs.

The FBI, CIA and other various government organizations have all denied such claims of having mini spy drones at work.

I guess if we generally trust our government they would only be used to help keep our nation safe. After all, if government organizations really wanted to spy on us, I'm sure they can find less expensive ways.

Mapping Drone Proliferation: UAVs in 76 Countries

The main international agreement that controls the transfer of drones is the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)

A new US Congress report on the proliferation of drones has confirmed a huge rise in the number of countries that now have military unmanned aerial systems. The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has published an unclassified version of its February 2012 report on the proliferation of UAVs. The report examines both the proliferation of UAVs, commonly known as drones, and examines US and multilateral controls on the export of drone technology.

The report states that between 2005 and December 2011, the number of countries that posses drones rose from 41 to 76 (see here for full list).


(Countries that have drones according to GAO report)

According to the report:

“The majority of foreign UAVs that countries have acquired fall within the tactical category. Tactical UAVs primarily conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions and typically have a limited operational range of at most 300 kilometres. However, some more advanced varieties are capable of performing intelligence collection, targeting, or attack missions. Mini UAVs were also frequently acquired across the globe during this period.”

It should be noted that currently only the US, UK and Israel are known to have used armed UAVs.

The report goes on: “Currently, there are over 50 countries developing more than 900 different UAV systems. This growth is attributed to countries seeing the success of the United States with UAVs in Iraq and Afghanistan and deciding to invest resources into UAV development to compete economically and militarily in this emerging area.”

Spying on Americans: 64 Drone Bases on US Soil
By Global Research
Global Research, September 22, 2012

We like to think of the drone war as something far away, fought in the deserts of Yemen or the mountains of Afghanistan. But we now know it’s closer than we thought. There are 64 drone bases on American soil. That includes 12 locations housing Predator and Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles, which can be armed.

Public Intelligence, a non-profit that advocates for free access to information, released a map of military UAV activities in the United States on Tuesday. Assembled from military sources — especially this little-known June 2011 Air Force presentation (.pdf) – it is arguably the most comprehensive map so far of the spread of the Pentagon’s unmanned fleet. What exact missions are performed at those locations, however, is not clear. Some bases might be used as remote cockpits to control the robotic aircraft overseas, some for drone pilot training. Others may also serve as imagery analysis depots.

The medium-size Shadow is used in 22 bases, the smaller Raven in 20 and the miniature Wasp in 11. California and Texas lead the pack, with 10 and six sites, respectively, and there are also 22 planned locations for future bases. ”It is very likely that there are more domestic drone activities not included in the map, but it is designed to provide an approximate overview of the widespread nature of Department of Defense activities throughout the US,” Michael Haynes from Public Intelligence tells Danger Room.

Britain to deploy new CCTV cameras

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/10/03/264818/cctv/




A senior advisor to the UK government has warned against the deployment of new high definition CCTV cameras across cities and towns without public consultation.


Andrew Rennison, the UK's first surveillance commissioner, said the powerful CCTV cameras are capable of identifying and tracking people’s faces from half a mile away, thus they could breach human rights laws, British media reported.

The deployment of the sophisticated cameras and making progress in CCTV technology risk turning the UK into a Big Brother society, according to Rennison.

He warned of a 'public backlash' unless proper steps were taken to regulate the proliferation of 16-megapixel HD cameras with the potential to pick out a face and then match it against a database of images of wanted people.

“The technology has overtaken our ability to regulate it. I'm convinced that if we don't regulate it properly - ie the technological ability to use millions of images we capture - there will be a huge public backlash. It is the Big Brother scenario playing out large. It's the ability to pick out your face in a crowd from a camera which is probably half a mile away”, said Rennison.

ECHELON Today: The Evolution of an NSA Black Program
By Tom Burghardt / Global Research
July 13, 2013

Before PRISM there was ECHELON: the top secret surveillance program whose “dictionaries” (computers powered by complex algorithms) ingest and sort key words and text scooped-up by a global network of satellites, from undersea cables and land-based microwave towers.

People are shocked by the scope of secret state spying on their private communications, especially in light of documentary evidence leaked to media outlets by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

While the public is rightly angered by the illegal, unconstitutional nature of NSA programs which seize and store data for retrospective harvesting by intelligence and law enforcement officials, including the content of phone calls, emails, geolocational information, bank records, credit card purchases, travel itineraries, even medical records–in secret, and with little in the way of effective oversight–the historical context of how, and why, this vast spying apparatus came to be is often given short shrift.

Revelations about NSA spying didn’t begin June 5, 2013 however, the day when The Guardian published a top secret FISA Court Order to Verizon, ordering the firm turn over the telephone records on millions of its customers “on an ongoing daily basis.”

Before PRISM there was ECHELON: the top secret surveillance program whose all-encompassing “dictionaries” (high-speed computers powered by complex algorithms) ingest and sort key words and text scooped-up by a global network of satellites, from undersea cables and land-based microwave towers.

Death of Rolling Stone 'Muckracker': The Michael Hastings Wreck–Video Evidence Only Deepens the Mystery
By Michael Krikorian and David J. Krajicek
July 17, 2013
(Originally published by www.WhoWhatWhy 14 July 2013)

Or was it?
Michael Krikorian, an essayist and former Los Angeles Times crime reporter, happened upon the scene a few hours after journalist Michael Hastings’s speeding car slammed into a palm tree and burst into a fireball.

Krikorian has seen his share of fatal car wrecks. But this one was different. As he put it, “This demands a closer examination.”

In accident-investigation parlance, it was a roadway departure – a non-intersection crash in which a vehicle leaves the traveled way for some reason.

But how and why did Hastings’s Mercedes depart the traveled way, and why was it traveling so perilously fast?

In a city where there seem to be as many car wrecks as cars, North Highland Avenue in L.A.’s Hancock Park neighborhood is not exactly Dead Man’s Curve. A fatal car accident there is rare.

Highland is a four-lane neighborhood artery as straight as a laser, with a narrow, grassy median lined with towering Washingtonia robusta palms. In the two miles between Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards, not a single traffic fatality was recorded on Highland from 2001 to 2009, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. http://map.itoworld.com/road-casualties-usa#fullscreen [1]

In the final moments of Michael Hastings’s life, the car he was operating accelerated to a treacherous speed before swerving off the pavement, mounting the median and slamming into one of the palms. There were no skid marks — no apparent attempt to brake before the collision.

Hastings, 33, covered the Iraq War as a young correspondent for Newsweek. But he made front-page news (and won the prestigious George Polk journalism prize) for his 2010 Rolling Stone magazine profile of “The Runaway General,” Stanley McChrystal, commander of NATO’s security force in Afghanistan. Hastings’s story portrayed the dismissive contempt with which McChrystal and his staff viewed President Obama and Vice President Biden. The general apologized, calling the profile “a mistake reflecting poor judgment.” But he was forced to resign.

Michael Hastings was carving out a journalism niche as a muckraker, and some see nefarious forces at work in his death.

We asked Michael Krikorian for his take on the curious accident, which happened in his hometown on a block he visits several times a week. He provides the details of new video evidence that offers a few clues about the seemingly inexplicable fatality.

Homeland Security Threatens to Punish Staff for Reading Washington Post NSA Articles
Friday, 19 July 2013
By; MARK KARLIN, EDITOR OF BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT

The Washington Post recently obtained a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo that warned staff not to read articles -- get this -- printed in the Washington Post that covered whistleblower revelations about classified information.

Specifically, DHS -- and we are not making this up -- implied that there could be legal repercussions for employees who read Washington Post stories about whistleblowers and the information that they disclose. In particular, a DHS memo prohibited reading of such articles from any computer outside of the DHS office:

The Department of Homeland Security has warned its employees that the government may penalize them for opening a Washington Post article containing a classified slide that shows how the National Security Agency eavesdrops on international communications.

An internal memo from DHS headquarters told workers on Friday that viewing the document from an “unclassified government workstation” could lead to administrative or legal action. “You may be violating your non-disclosure agreement in which you sign that you will protect classified national security information,” the communication said.

The memo said workers who view the article through an unclassified workstation should report the incident as a “classified data spillage.”

"Classifed data spillage." This "data spillage" is in the press and on the web around the world -- and DHS is implying that the NSA is monitoring employees use of computers outside the office to see if they are reading such media coverage, so much for not spying on Americans.

This is so retro totalitarian, so Soviet and Stasi Kafkaesque, that it's hard to believe. As a website TechDirt comments: "Got that? Working for the government and merely reading the news about things the government is doing might subject you to legal action."

NSA Crime Spree Continues as 9/11 Unravels


by Tom Heneghan, International Intelligence Expert

UNITED STATES of America   -   It can now be reported that NSA Chieftain Keith Alexander illegally lobbied and blackmailed twelve (12) members of the U.S. Congress to stay at home and not participate in last week's Congressional vote dealing with the UN-Constitutional BushFRAUD era enacted Patriot Act (a modern day Nazi German Enabling Act).

Alexander violated federal law by using public funds to conduct his blackmail campaign, which is a clear violation of federal statutes.  Alexander needs to be immediately arrested and prosecuted.

The NSA lobby efforts was assisted by criminal U.S. banking institutions: Citibank, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.

All three of these criminal banks have access to secret NSA technology, which they use on their trading platforms to utilize a 7-second lead time in their proprietary trading involving worldwide financial markets.

Note: We should also mention that U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner and Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi assisted the NSA and the crooked banks in their blackmail operation.

Both Boehner and Pelosi have made millions of dollars in crooked NSA insider trading.

Question: Wasn't it Bob Woodward, noted Watergate reporter and current editor of the Washington Post who once said "Follow the money."

We can now also divulge that Congressman Alan Grayson has been given evidence by journalist Glenn Greenwald (spokesman for NSA leaker Edward Snowden) fingering the NSA in compiling dossiers on all members of Congress, as well as members of the U.S. media.

These dossiers are now in possession of outlaw U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and alleged U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama-Soetoro (also subject to blackmail).

As we reported in our last intelligence briefing Obama is NOT in charge of anything.  He is a crisis actor, celebrity President that takes his orders directly from the NSA, the large crooked U.S. banks, and the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate.

At this hour, daddy Bush (George Herbert Walker Bush), his son, year 2000 illegal occupant George W. Bush, Benghazi war criminal and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and crooked U.S. Attorney General (the late Marc Rich defense attorney) Eric Holder need to be arrested by the U.S. Military and impeachment proceedings against President Obama must take place immediately.

P.S. We can also report that Congressman Grayson is also in possession of new 9/11 evidence dealing with a mystery plane that flew over Washington D.C. on September 11, 2001.

Grayson's evidence starts with proof that the two American Airlines planes, Flight 11 and Flight 175, that allegedly flew in to the south and north towers of the New York City World Trade Center were without passengers or pilots and were guided into the towers by NSA remote-control.

We can now report that the actual American Airlines Flights 11 and 175 were flown and landed in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.

American Airlines Flight 77 also landed in Nova Scotia, Canada.

It was a missile that hit the Pentagon on 9/11 helping destroy and incinerate records tied to the criminal Nazi Paperclip NSA.

American Airlines Flight 93 was shot down over Shankesville, Pennsylvania on the direct orders of Vice President Richard Cheney.

In closing, we can now divulge that the mystery plane flying over Washington D.C. on 9/11 was allowed to circle the U.S. capitol by then Vice President Richard Cheney who gave NORAD a "stand down" order on the early morning of 9/11.

The "stand down" order was given to disguise the 9/11 BLACK OP using U.S.-Canadian red-blue 9/11 war games as a cover for the 9/11 FALSE FLAG BLACK OP attacks on the United States.

We can now report that the mystery plane flying over Washington D.C. on 9/11 did have passengers and pilots with Barbara Olson as one of the passengers.

Note: Barbara Olson is the wife of Ted Olson who was U.S. Solicitor General on 9/11 and represented George W. BushFRAUD in the U.S. Supreme Court case Bush v Gore that helped cement the bribing of five (5) U.S. Supreme Court Justices and the installation of the Nazi German Paperclip illegal President George W. BushFRAUD.

There were ten (10) passengers on the mystery flight nine (9) of which were NSA employees plus Barbara Olson.

Congressman Grayson now has evidence showing that the famous phone call made by Barbara Olson to Ted Olson actually originated from the mystery flight and not from the alleged American Airlines Flight 77 originating from Dulles, Virginia.

Barbara Olson, after receiving plastic surgery, is now alive and well living in Stockholm, Sweden.


(Personal Note): I find it incomprehensible and incredible that Canada was involved in this traitorous act to allow Flights 11, 175 and 77 to land in Nova Scotia. If the information here is truthful then I am ashamed of my country!

Shocking ‘Extermination’ Fantasies By the People Running America’s Empire on Full Display at Aspen Summit - Security Forum participants expressed total confidence in American empire, but could not contain their panic at the mention of Snowden
By Max Blumenthal/Global Research,
July 31, 2013

Seated on a stool before an audience packed with spooks, lawmakers, lawyers and mercenaries, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer introduced recently retired CENTCOM chief General James Mattis. “I’ve worked with him and I’ve worked with his predecessors,” Blitzer said of Mattis. “I know how hard it is to run an operation like this.”

Reminding the crowd that CENTCOM is “really, really important,” Blitzer urged them to celebrate Mattis: “Let’s give the general a round of applause.”

Following the gales of cheering that resounded from the room, Mattis, the gruff 40-year Marine veteran who once volunteered his opinion that “it’s fun to shoot some people,” outlined the challenge ahead. The “war on terror” that began on 9/11 has no discernable end, he said, likening it to the “the constant skirmishing between [the US cavalry] and the Indians” during the genocidal Indian Wars of the 19th century.

“The skirmishing will go on likely for a generation,” Mattis declared.

Mattis’ remarks, made beside a cable news personality who acted more like a sidekick than a journalist, set the tone for the entire 2013 Aspen Security Forum this July. A project of the Aspen Institute, the Security Forum brought together the key figures behind America’s vast national security state, from military chieftains like Mattis to embattled National Security Agency Chief General Keith Alexander to top FBI and CIA officials, along with the bookish functionaries attempting to establish legal groundwork for expanding the war on terror.

“What in the world is happening to America?”

The control freaks are out of control. Once upon a time America was “the land of the free”, but now it has become “the land of the bureaucrats”, and these bureaucrats are absolutely obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and controlling virtually everything that you do.

Last month, I wrote about how the Obama administration forced a small-time magician out in Missouri to submit a 32 page disaster plan for the little rabbit that he uses in his magic shows for kids. A lot of people thought that story was quite humorous, but the examples in this article are not so funny. In recent days we have learned that the government is monitoring just about everything that we do on the Internet, and we have also learned that a couple of innocent Google searches can result in armed government agents pounding on your front door.

NSA Whistleblowers: NSA Collects ‘Word for Word’ Every Domestic Communication
By Washington's Blog/Global Research,
August 03, 2013
Washington's Blog 2 August 2013

Anyone Who Says the Government Only Spies On Metadata Is Sadly Mistaken
PBS interviewed NSA whistleblowers William Binney and Russell Tice this week.

Binney is the NSA’s former director of global digital data, and a 32-year NSA veteran widely regarded as a “legend” within the agency. Tice helped the NSA spy with satellites for 20 years.

Binney and Tice confirmed that the NSA is recording every word of every phone call made within the United States:

- [PBS interviewer] JUDY WOODRUFF:
Both Binney and Tice suspect that today, the NSA is doing more than just collecting metadata on calls made in the U.S. They both point to this CNN interview by former FBI counterterrorism agent Tim Clemente days after the Boston Marathon bombing. Clemente was asked if the government had a way to get the recordings of the calls between Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his wife.

- TIM CLEMENTE (Former FBI counterterrorism agent):
On the national security side of the house, in the federal government, you know, we have assets. There are lots of assets at our disposal throughout the intelligence community and also not just domestically, but overseas. Those assets allow us to gain information, intelligence on things that we can’t use ordinarily in a criminal investigation.

All digital communications are — there’s a way to look at digital communications in the past. And I can’t go into detail of how that’s done or what’s done. But I can tell you that no digital communication is secure.

US Government “Protection” of Al-Qaeda Terrorists and the US-Saudi “Black Hole”
By Prof Peter Dale Scott/Global Research
August 05, 2013

For almost two centuries American government, though always imperfect, was also a model for the world of limited government, having evolved a system of restraints on executive power through its constitutional arrangement of checks and balances.

Since 9/11 however, constitutional American government has been overshadowed by a series of emergency measures to fight terrorism. The latter have mushroomed in size and budget, while traditional government has been shrunk.

As a result we have today what the journalist Dana Priest has called

two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.[1]

More and more, it is becoming common to say that America, like Turkey before it, now has what Marc Ambinder and John Tirman have called a deep state behind the public one.[2] And this parallel government is guided in surveillance matters by its own Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, which according to the New York Times “has quietly become almost a parallel Supreme Court.”[3] Thanks largely to Edward Snowden, it is now clear that the FISA Court has permitted this deep state to expand surveillance beyond the tiny number of known and suspected Islamic terrorists, to any incipient protest movement that might challenge the policies of the American war machine.

Americans have by and large not questioned this parallel government, accepting that sacrifices of traditional rights and traditional transparency are necessary to keep us safe from al Qaeda attacks. However secret power is unchecked power, and experience of the last century has only reinforced the truth of Lord Acton’s famous dictum that unchecked power always corrupts. It is time to consider the extent to which American secret agencies have developed a symbiotic relationship with the forces they are supposed to be fighting – and have even on occasion intervened to let al-Qaeda terrorists proceed with their plots.

“Intervened to let al-Qaeda terrorists proceed with their plots”? These words as I write them make me wonder yet again, as I so often do, if I am not losing my marbles, and proving myself to be no more than a zany “conspiracy theorist.” Yet I have to remind myself that my claim is not one coming from theory, but from certain undisputed facts, about incidents that are true even though they have been systematically suppressed or under-reported in the American mainstream media.

Fake Terror Alert Extended
By Stephen Lendman
8-7-13

Announced embassy and consulate closures continue all week. Perhaps longer if ordered. Doing so facilitates deception.

It reflects duplicitous fear mongering. It's to fool people. It serves America's hidden agenda. It targets dissent. It subverts civil liberties.

It's to silence lawless NSA spying critics. On Sunday TV talk shows, Republicans and Democrats agreed. Terror threats justify NSA surveillance, they claim.

According to Senator Saxby Chambliss (R. GA), there's "an awful lot of chatter out there." NSA monitors it electronically. "If we didn't have these programs then we simply wouldn't be able to listen in on the bad guys."

Senator Lindsey Graham (R. SC) said, "The NSA program is proving its worth yet again."

Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D. MD) added: "The good news is that we picked up the intelligence. And that's what we do. That's what NSA does."

Other congressional members made similar comments. They lack credibility. They facilitate lawless NSA spying. They aid and abet wrongdoing. They enlist public support for what demands condemnation.

NSA's Cyber Army Attacks the Navy's Tor Network, Gives Spoils to the FBI
Eric Blair/Activist Post
Tuesday, August 6, 2013

It was reported earlier this week that the FBI won a great victory by stopping the largest child porn distributor on the Internet. The FBI's victory lap was cut short when some of the details of how they did it were more closely examined.

What the FBI actually did was seize a hosting service on the hidden TOR Network. The owner of the hosting service Freedom Hosting was not directly involved in the production or distribution of child porn, he just provided anonymous hosting used by pedophile pornographers.

The bigger question became how the FBI penetrated the supposedly anonymous TOR Network. That's where the story gets interesting.
