Qik is gone

Well of course a lot of people don't even know Qik ever existed. But here's what it could do .... you installed it as an App on your smartphone, and it could be started immediately to use your smart camera to record and upload streaming video and send it right away to a remote source. Providing of course, that you could make a 3G or 4G or wireless connection to that source.
Very nice.
What applications could that be used for?  Well if you were out fishing and caught that big one just as your boat started to sink! You'd had proof, if you ever made it to shore, of that huge fish!
Or that guy ran into your parked car and you saw it and he just backed up and drove away! Aha, evidence for your insurance company! Or even you frolicking with your dog who ate your camera!
Hmm, ok, good App. What else?

Same thing?

Well ..... er .... it seemed like some so called activist people used Qik to record confrontations with the police. Like protesters being pummeled with Billy clubs. Or the police doing an illegal roadblock. Or just those kind of beatings you see by frustrated fatty Officer Psycho that maybe you've already seen on You Tube.
Many of those might have been recorded by Qik. By positioning it on your main page of your phone, it was instantly available for use. With a quick click.
Dangerous App. And you know the police are not fond of being recorded at work!
In many cases the police have been recorded during activities that were later found illegal and when they charged the Qik operator, the courts threw out their argument that openly recording the police at work was illegal. Sorry but First Amendment rights took priority in almost every case. (Concealing your filming was a different matter and should be warned against.)

So my point is that this fits into my own theory from years ago, when the US government had that secretive meeting with Bill Gates, and threatened to break up Microsoft into three separate companies, run by whomever instead of Gates. His baby! That is when I suggest that Microsoft came under the careful and secret guidance of the NSA! And in the recent years we all know what is going on with the NSA and Microsoft software. Backdoors into software etc.

So Microsoft bought Skype. Your recording and communications with relatives or others across thousands of miles instantly were available to the corporation. Kind of something that NSA would want to control. Even if Microsoft didn't. Microsoft could capably set-up their own Skype kind of software, but that wouldn't get them all those Skype USERS already signed up. To tune into and watch what they were doing.

So along comes Qik, doing what no law enforcement agencies wanted them to do, and someone from that shadowy realm, takes action. Microsoft does what it is told. Just buy the competition and shut it down! It happens in business all the time. Microsoft bought Qik for 100 MILLION dollars, and garnered over 5 million current users!
And now has simply shut it down. One less thorn in the side of certain agencies that find real laws and the US constitution nothing but an irritant. In the case of Qik, it was the streaming video that was the problem, by recording as it happens, all that action went right to a remote source and even if the police took away your phone, or deleted the file as they are so wont to do, the evidence of what they did was already gone. Into the ether or the sweaty night to emerge again on social media!  Incriminatingly. Go-Pros are great, but they can be smashed and their evidence lost forever.

So by just spending a measly 100 million And we know the NSA has 100 mil to spend every day of the week .... (As a matter of fact, no one actually knows how much the NSA has to spend) to get that certain patented software built into Qik, and toss the remainder of the codes into the junk bin, the competition is shut down, like companies often do, in this case the competition, as it is emerging through the democratic world, is we the people.

Us.

You and me.

The world is spinning faster folks, pay attention.




But there is still Bambuser.

Microsoft email privacy alert

A note circulating from Microsoft to holders of Outlook email accounts, under the heading 'Our Terms of use are Changing' ..... You may want to go ahead and follow their links to learn about what they actually propose beginning in August, 2014.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our users' needs are at the center of everything we do. That's why we are updating the Microsoft Services Agreement and providing a Privacy Statement for Windows Services. We want to take this opportunity to highlight some of the key changes and what they mean for you.

Privacy As part of our ongoing commitment to respecting your privacy, we won't use your documents, photos or other personal files or what you say in email, chat, video calls or voice mail to target advertising to you.

Transparency We updated our Code of Conduct so you can better understand the types of behaviors that could affect your account, and added language that parents are responsible for minor children's use of Microsoft account and services, including purchases.

 Simplicity We tailor our privacy statements for each of our products to help make it easier for you to find the information that is important to you.


The Microsoft Services Agreement applies to your Microsoft account and includes many of our customer services such as Outlook.com, OneDrive, and Bing, while the privacy statement explains how your personal information is collected, used and protected across your Microsoft account, Outlook.com and OneDrive.
The new updates to these will take effect on July 31, 2014. If you continue to use our services after July 31, 2014, you agree to the updated terms or, if you don't agree, you can cancel your service at any time.

Thank you for using Microsoft services

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are several links attached to the mail which allow you to follow and learn what to expect.
What I expect is that they are counting on the fact that you just trust them and will not explore your privacy further.
Professing to protect you and your private communication is one thing, following the edicts of the Patriot Act and Homeland Security and allowing the FBI, CIA, NSA and various other government agencies to access your email is another.
Microsoft might be honest is assuring you that THEY will not read your email content, but they have no ability to stop the above agencies from following everything you do through your email transcripts. private companies trying to stop government access to your personal information is prohibited by law and even telling you that someone is reading your email information can result in a huge penalty and unwanted attention.

We suspect that hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of email account holders, have migrated to safer email carriers and that Microsoft is feeling the losses. (As is the so-called Cloud storage that no one trusts to be secure from NSA back door access)

Some would suggest that you start now and set-up a more private, encrypted email account, and transfer your email content history, saved contacts and anything else important to your privacy concerns to the safe account and leave Microsoft and the NSA on their own. You needn't actually notify Microsoft of your actions, you simply clear out information and abandon the account and tell your friends and any businesses to switch, wait a time until you're sure nothing is going into the old Outlook account and then close it.  Be warned though, you will not be deleting your previous web history, that may remain on the servers, but you might be protecting the privacy of your future history, and millions of other web users are very worried about that too.

If it is important to you, you will find those other safe accounts. If you, like thousands, say you have nothing to hide because you're not doing anything wrong, and need not change anything, good luck.


You have fair warning to do it before July 31, 2014.

Conspiracy theory 3 ... Microsoft

Do you remember a few years ago the US Government threatened Microsoft under antitrust laws?
Funny how that interest sort of faded. But only for a while. Like they were regrouping somewhere in the cellars of the Pentagon or the NSA or the White House. Down there in the dark among the lizards.
Then the Government came charging back with a fury and threatened to dismantle Microsoft into three separate companies. They feared Microsoft had way too much power because of their monopolistic position in the computer market? That is bad, they said.
But wait, someone might have exclaimed, wouldn't a monopoly be a GOOD thing if a government could use it to control people and identify where they were and what they were saying and doing and thinking? And the road was headed to everyone owning a computer? And wouldn’t those puters most likely have the Windows Operating System? Isn't Windows on 98% of all PC computers with XP, Vista or now Windows 7 OS?
Have you noticed that when you go to a website, and then delete or clear all your cookies, and then go back to that website some time later, they seem to know who you are?
Didn't Microsoft put a unique number into your operating system under the hype that it was a good thing to control piracy of their software? Then under waves of protest from the public they said they wouldn't TURN ON that unique identifying number? Or at least YOU could turn it off? And doesn't your hard drive have a unique number too? Did you know that even your CD burner imprints a unique number onto every CD you burn identifying the actual burner? And your digital camera does the same thing. Even if you steal it from the web, someone can find out who TOOK that picture. And when and where?

Didn't the FBI come out with a sneaky computer spy system called Carnivore a few years ago, that could read the contents of any computer it wanted through your server? Then they changed the name because it seemed too ominous and scary and 1984ish? Funny how the past can scare us.
Carnivore could see every single email you sent to whomever and every word you typed into your hard drive or internet browser? Mostly Microsoft’s Internet Explorer of course. Including every password and user name you ever used in a chat room or discussion forum? And didn't all this happen at about the same time as Microsoft introduced Windows XP? And didn't the US hold these server companies hostage by threatening to shut them down unless they installed Carnivore into their systems without telling anyone? Without telling their customers? You.
Sorry for all these rhetorical questions, but ….

Doesn't Homeland Security and the Patriot Act give the government pitbulls the power to do anything they want without telling anyone about what they are doing? To fight terrorism they say? Hmm.
Isn't Microsoft starting to add things now to updates of its software without making it clear to technical people exactly what those updates are or what they are supposed to do? In Windows Media player some technicians have compared the guts of Media Player 9.0 with Media Player 10.0 and can't find the differences? So why the update?
Would the US government and Bill Gates have made a secret deal somewhere in the shadowy bowels of the Pentagon with all those Gila Monsters to allow Microsoft to continue as one company, so long as the Justice department had access to the Windows Operating System? Wouldn’t proud papa Bill Gates have done anything to avoid the Sophie’s choice decision about his company? His precious family. His birth child.
After all, we all know that starting a company becomes your googly baby, your loving family and you nurture it along the way until it becomes something to be proud of like your son growing up to be famous? And wouldn’t any worried parent have done what he had to do to keep it all together? Bill Gates being no exception?
I don't know ... wouldn’t he?

Er ... would the US government be that sneaky as to threaten Bill Gates into a deal that allowed them to monitor the masses through the most used computer system in the world? Oops, sorry for yet another rhetorical question, but I was there in the sixties.
I have not lost faith. I still believe in the sneakiness of certain humans who want their way. And I understand the vulnerability of parents who fear for their children. And I still know that stealthy power-mongering forces attempt to run the world from the dark side.

They say that when a venomous Gila Monster bites you, he doesn’t let go until sunset. I may even start believing in reptilian shape-shifters.
As the poetic prophet Bob Dylan once said, ‘It ain’t dark yet, but it’s gettin’ there.’

MH370 & N604EP

You really need to be informed about this one.

How ever can we know anything about Malaysian fight MH370 if the powers that be are obfuscating the information we get? Is there something else in play here?  It seems that certain aircraft around the world have little documentation about ownership and where they fly.

Just read this article about a mysterious USA jet (N604EP) that landed in Iran! A country prohibited by the American government! No one knows why it was there, who was flying it, or even who owns it! US companies can’t do business in Iran, and you can’t bring an American-made and registered plane there without specific approval from the US government. Inquiries have only met with 'no comment.' from officials.

Mysterious American plane in Tehran!


If the Bank of Utah can be trustee for hundreds (1169) of American aircraft, even fleets of planes, which have free flight access to fly anywhere in the United States, how can we ever expect to find out what really happened to MH370? Thousands of miles away in another country.
The talking heads on CNN are beginning to openly speculate that something else is going on down there in the South Indian Ocean. And how can we defuse a future potential 9-11 when we know nothing about so many of these aircraft?

read a previous post about MH370 here - MH370 where?

The group of watchers and photographers who have taken it upon themselves to record the activities as well as they can about aircraft movements around the world should be encouraged.
Clues are emerging. N604EP was spotted in Zurich, Switzerland on January 22, 2014, around the time of the World Economic Forum in Davos. That narrows the list of possible owners down to over 2600 powerful people.
The plane was also in Accra, Ghana on January 3 and in Luton, England on October 1 of last year and February 16 of this year. And this is only one of those 1169 the Bank of Utah has interest in. Who knows how many other banks own by proxy how many more aircraft? A government watchdog warned last June and again in January that non-U.S. citizens have registered 5,600 planes with the Federal Aviation Administration through trustees, concealing the owners' identities. And the trustee, the Bank of Utah, has no idea who those owners are! This plane-spotting activity, the photographic and information recording about airliner whereabouts and private flights is very popular outside North America. It may be time to encourage it here.

What's the relationship between MH370 and N604EF?
It all just points out the chilling fact that we people know nothing about the activities of government, shadow government, the FAA, banks dabbling in aircraft, private industry or corporations who are operating planes right in our midst. And seemingly impervious to interference by the very people who are doing all the scare tactics under the pretense of protecting us from evil.
Is it evil versus evil versus us? Do the people have literally no voice within the government who will cry out for honest disclosure? Whatever political parties are in control of government, they seem to be following the same enigmatic agenda, and it doesn't coincide with the aspirations of the populace.
Does the circle lead right back to United Airlines flight 93, N591UA that went down to oblivion in Pennsylvania?

This is yet one more example that reveals we don't really know who the evil is?

Hmm ..................... again.

Tar Sands again

Syncrude, Fort McMurray, Alberta

In 2014 results of a study published in the 
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America showed that official reports on emissions were not high enough. Report authors noted that, emissions of organic substances with potential toxicity to humans were the (PAH)s  phenanthrene, pyrene, and benzo(a)pyrene, and that these emissions had been previously unreported.
Bitumen extracted from tar sands has the consistency of peanut butter and must be diluted to flow through pipelines. And that's just the beginning. 

Pipelines used to simply dilute heavy crude with lighter oil and pump it. But bitumen is not heavy crude. It needs chemical dilution and heating to move through a pipeline. 
Pipelines carry this diluted bitumen, also known as dilbit, from Canada's tar sands region. Dilbit is harder to remove from waterways than typical light crude oil, often called conventional crude, that has historically been used as an energy source. Bitumen sinks to the bottom and creates a dead zone for live creatures and plants while the stream above may look somewhat normal. Experts and scientists in the pipeline business are very shy about being interviewed about dilbit. The exact composition of the chemicals, collectively called diluents, is considered a trade secret. The diluents vary depending on the particular type of dilbit being produced. The mixture often includes benzene, a known human carcinogen. We don't know what else.

In Canada, DilBit is not subject to any additional safety regulations. This is one of the reasons why it’s hard to compare DilBit’s safety record with that of conventional crude. In public statements, Enbridge constantly hides information about DilBit in “heavy crude” statistics. We know diluted bitumen is used from the Tar Sands. What's it diluted with exactly?

There is general information available about dilbit but even that cannot be published. It can be copied for personal use but you have to find it yourself. If your backyard was full of that black dilbit from a pipeline spill, you would not be able to get the exact composition of it from the industry. This could be crucial for health reasons, in the event of a spill, first responders would not even know what chemistry they are dealing with!

The environment is a major concern surrounding the rapid industrial development in the Athabasca oil sands region. It should be of great concern to everyone. The tar sands region of Alberta, Canada is the third largest petroleum reserve in the world. Be watchful folks.

Is this rapid development? The tar sands from 1984 to 2012 in overlapped pictures.

Doesn't quite look like that teeny little patch in the green forest that Enbridge is selling us, does it?

Just sayin'.

Husha, Husha, we all fall down.

Flight Fantasies?

Somewhere, within 2.97 million square miles. Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. 227 passengers and 12 crew. A Boeing 777 disappeared without a trace. And the largest search in history is underway.
And there are questions everywhere.

The Pilot of flight 370 had a Flight Simulator in his home. Some pilots do to acquaint themselves with any unfamiliar airports, perhaps on a new route assignment. Not uncommon or suspicious. But could that Flight Simulator have been used by someone unbeknownst to this pilot? Could it have been used over a period of time without detection? To teach someone? Could it have been used to plan a route to a secret destination? Some routes were deleted from the hard drive.

Is it credible to suspect a larger conspiracy here? That includes human intervention?

Could a flight sim be run by a thumb drive for instance, so the information taken off it be sidestepped from the recording hard drive?
Pilot and co-pilot so far show no signs of suspicious activity preflight or since. (except for one photo I saw where the Captain wore a Tshirt saying 'Democracy is dead') And what about the other 10 on the flight crew? How much investigation is being done there? What about passengers? We know two Iranian men were aboard with stolen passports? Where were they really going? Who else could have been flying undetected?
Would the plan have been to steal a whole plane? To be used for what? Filled with explosives and sent to a target? Even loaded with a nuclear weapon and aimed at a whole city? Israel is currently on high alert for incoming aircraft. Who else should be frightened? Where would that attack come from?

Would it be possible to add fuel to the 777 without it being ordered by the pilot? Could someone on a ground crew be involved? Was a longer flight planned? To where?
Could someone on the flight crew be involved? Someone who could use the keypad to get into the cockpit? Or an attendant just bringing tea and finger cakes followed by an accomplice?

Once the cockpit is accessed, a trained killer let in by that conspirator on the crew, could easily murder the two pilots in seconds, before they could send any signal about highjacking or even speak an emergency word.  Or a distress call. Then the perpetrator could easily have sent that, 'alright, good night' voice message.
A simple reprogramming of the flight plan coordinates takes less than another minute. Then that hard left turn and heading into oblivion. Turning off the transponder is seconds. Satellites have set an arc based on the last signals from the plane.
But a human had to have been flying the plane, changing its direction. They know it crossed back over Malaysian territory, into the Straight of Malacca. Then to avoid flying over North Sumatra, it would have had to adjust direction again, northwest, to avoid Indonesia, then another hard left turn for a south heading into the vast Indian Ocean!
IF, that is where it went?

The airplane descended to 10,000 feet, to avoid certain radars? Known as terrain masking.  And shorty after ascends to 45,000 feet, (military height?) and high above the recommended altitude for a Boeing 777, perhaps neutralizing all the passengers trapped in the cocoon? The fact is that the passengers may have been blissfully unaware of any of these altitude or directional changes.

Searchers are now everywhere along that huge arc. But only in the south ocean. And it seems like there is simply nowhere to go. Nothing much down there until you get to Antarctica and then only penguins. But the north is much more interesting. Yes?

Consider this:
If the aircraft follows a route west along the equator, instead of turning south, perhaps out of range of Northern Hemisphere radar, it could easily at some point turn northward again over the Arabian Sea and head for where? Oman? Somalia? Iran? Yemen? Pakistan?  Even America's supposed friend, Saudi Arabia.
Virtually all of those countries have been connected to terrorist activities, either by open support financially or training facilities or harboring fugitives.  And most of them have tacit approval of certain factions at work within their countries which is seen as deception by the West. Pakistan being at the head of the list. And Pakistan already has nuclear weapons.

So what happens next? The ground crew of this conspiracy is waiting for the landing in whatever country? Perhaps still piloted by a terrified captain? Crew is ready to hide the stolen aircraft in a secluded hangar secure from spying satellites? Local people would hear it or even see it. But would people in any of those countries speak out about a mysterious airplane landing in the night? Why would it be mysterious? Do people know commercial flight schedules except when they are flying themselves? Is there anything appearing suspicious about a commercial airliner arriving? People just keep their mouths shut in these places.


Whatever the purpose of Malaysian Flight 370 flying off into nowhere, it could be someone activating a carefully and brilliantly thought out plan, maybe in the making for years.
If so we have all the more reason to be alarmed.

Nothing is too radical.  


Human intervention brings to mind only another question: Who do we trust?

Nothing is too radical.




addenda: Mar 26. A French satellite has spotted what appears to be many pieces of debris in the South Indian Ocean. Australian ships are heading there to identify it now. After many false alarms,  and thousands of private searchers using Tomnod and seeing thousands of UFOs, (Unidentified Floating Objects) in the vast ocean, could any of it be the remains of MH370?
So far nothing discounts my theory of a stolen plane by persons unknown And the suspicion of a false flag operation lingers.

addenda: Apr 18. Even though there has been some suggestion  about this flight moving toward Diego Garcia, it seems like the MSM is quick to discard it. But if this plane WAS heading to that atoll for a landing, it would certainly be shot down before it got close and IF that was the action taken, there would be extensive measures to cover up an action that took the lives of hundreds of passengers.  And where it might have really gone down.
However, there is still the scenario that those on Diego Garcia knew it was coming and what it may have contained. In which case any action would still be shrouded in utmost secrecy. The passengers disposed of, and whatever agents or precious cargo aboard, taken off and disappeared.

addenda Dec 15. Facts continue to emerge. Especially the one which now says that the Malaysian Government didn't want to know about radar tracking of the flight? Their delay and lack of interest in the information is fueling the fire of conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of MH370.  Conspiracy theories include hijacking, attacks from extremist groups, cockpit fire, and that the Malaysian Airline plane that was shot down in Ukraine was actually MH370 and not MH17!
But this 5 day delay spawns yet another theory.  That a certain time was needed to substitute another aircraft for MH370. IF MH370 was destined secretly to fly to Diego Garcia, for instance, another plane could easily have taken over the transponder codes and signals to imitate MH370, from it's perceived route south after passing through the Malacca Strait and simply flew into the Indian Ocean before turning all electronics off and going elsewhere, all the while a radar silent MH370 lands on Diego Garcia and is quickly hidden. With the secret military cargo that the Chinese thought they were getting from Malaysia.

Smile, GCHQ is watching you

Even doing sexy things in front of your webcam?
No, not me, don't worry I turned it off.
Yes, worry, that doesn't make a difference, they can turn it on again without the little telltale light! They ARE watching you!

 It used to be that encouraging someone to tape up their webcam to keep the government from watching would sound like the paranoid advice of a conspiracy loon. Well, it might be time to bust out that tinfoil hat. In another discomforting development concerning governmental snooping, the Guardian has revealed that British Intelligence agency GCHQ, in cooperation with our friends at the NSA, have been watching and recording the webcam images of millions upon millions of users of Yahoo’s video chat service.

The program, called Optic Nerve, was started in 2008 and remained active into 2012, according to documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The bulk images include many of a sexual nature, which the documents reveal were hard to keep GCHQ staffers from gawking at. The NSA has restrictions (for what that’s worth) on the kind of data they can gather on American citizens, but the GCHQ has no such restrictions, meaning these images very likely include the private conversations and interactions of British and US citizens.

The program was apparently meant to develop new techniques and algorithms for facial recognition and picking targets. (Targets? Really?) It gathered (gathers?) one image every five minutes, possibly to avoid violating certain privacy statutes, but more likely to keep from crashing GCHQ servers. It’s one more in a long string of uncomfortable realizations about the deeply invasive spying apparatus Western governments are pointing at their own citizens.

The revelations are likely to get worse, and it seems very unlikely that programs like this one are limited to just Yahoo or the UK — since Snowden’s documents only go up to around 2012 at the latest (that’s when he divulged them to reporter Glenn Greenwald), it’s also very possible this program is still up and running. (Duh, like really?)

And if you just bought a new TV set? It might be that a hidden camera is planted somewhere behind your TV screen too, watching you watching it. Throw a whole blanket over it if you don't want to end up in the 'lust' room deep in the bowels of GCHQ.  I wonder what would happen if someone published pictures of a Senator or Parliamentarian's wife or daughters, for instance? Would that even wake the public outrage?

And you must know by now if you live on Earth, that the spy-on-you technology is exponentially growing and someday it might be your refrigerator that notifies the Stasi that you cheated on your rations.

But of course, YOU are not doing anything wrong, then what could it matter?
Sure. Go to the front of the gullible line and be respectful.


Still think Snowden is the bad guy?

Gravity, the REAL film.

On April 3rd, 2013, Chechnya's tallest building, a luxury hotel caught fire and burned for 29 hours before it was put out. The building was completely destroyed but did not collapse. This raises many questions as to how World Trade Center 7 could have collapsed on 9/11 with only small fires on a couple of floors?
 

In one photo we see a building almost completely engulfed by fire, which was still standing after 29 hours of intense fire; in the video we see hardly any fire at all, yet that building collapsed, within a few hours, at free fall speed, into it's own footprint!
Fires in high rise buildings have repeatedly left them standing, WT7 was not hit by aircraft, soaked with aviation fuel, or suffered the intensity of raging fires, yet no one has answered the question of why it collapsed at all.

The film is the WT7 building on fire and falling down from what millions now agree is controlled demolition. No other steel framed building has EVER come down from fire!

Monsanto March!

Pssst!   I'm going.   Are you?   Be there May 24th!

What ever town you are in, wherever you are in the world, if you care about what you eat, join in the groundswell of action against Monsanto corporation controlling our food. Country after country is banning the GMO products from Monsanto, and the only reason North America is not doing it is because the US Government has allowed Monsanto executives to take over the running of the FDA!  And recently 71 American Senators voted to continue allowing Monsanto to control food production in America and reject your right to even have labeling on your food! This is disgusting from people you elected who SHOULD be representing your health and safety interests!

May 24th, 2014, in YOUR city!

Click on our links to see what is happening around the world, let's not wait until we humans begin giving birth to two-headed babies, join concerned and thinking people now to show our governments that we demand they take action to ostracize this corporation.

Bad Guys vs Good Guys?

You have to decide who is who?

  Should we just stop free speech and thank the government for looking after us?

Just a muse about exposing information, but why wasn't Robert Novak charged with outing a working CIA agent when he revealed the Valery Plame identity in his newspaper column? Maybe because he, liked David Gregory was already shilling for the government? When does free speech become treasonous? Why are the standards flexible? Why isn't morality part of the equation?

European Parliament report on mass surveillance.

Yes, they're a little pissed off. Many of the European Union states have already lived under a system of constant surveillance, suppression of rights and spying, so they have intense feelings about it, where as the so-called open societies in America, Canada, Australia and Britain continue on in a fog of disbelief and an 'I'm doing nothing wrong' attitude.

 EU Surveillance Inquiry Report

Are we cool with spy agencies doing illegal actions to watch us? Are we okay because they're after someone else? Are we acceptable to incarcerating people without charges and a court of law? Are we ignoring secret court decisions and actions? Are we allowing ourselves to slip into a monitored society without the standards of freedom so many fought for in our recent history?

Are we past the tipping point?

The FBI - 1971 version

The FBI has been cheating for so long now they think it is normal behavior! Take a while to watch a most interesting and revealing video about the 1971 break-in at an FBI office by activists at a time of turmoil in America. Did it have a lasting effect or was it only a flash? Watch it and comment.

John Raines, Bonnie Raines and Keith Forsyth; their attorney, David Kairys; and Betty Medsger, the former Washington Post reporter who first broke the story of the stolen FBI documents in 1971 and has now revealed the burglars’ identities in her new book, "The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover’s Secret FBI."

NSA vs Snowden vs You?

Watch a wrap-up of the 2013 revelations about Edward Snowden, the NSA, Glen Greenwald and the reporting news organizations. Then make your own decisions with some knowledge of the events.

 

Watching the skies ... then and now

 Used to be, one of the nicest things you could see in the sky was a hawk circling over a grassy field, looking for his meal.
That sky watching became searching for dangerous aircraft during war and in 1943, the English Homeguard needed to identify planes over the English countryside, so the Observer issued pamphlets like this. The Spitfire was a thrill in its beauty and purpose but most will never see one again, (unless you are watching Foyle's War on British TV.) And there was no point in identifying a V2 and calling someone because it would already be there before the call went through. Of course there's really nothing romantic about war and that was then, this is now .....

Dutch designer Ruben Pater came up with this modern chart of attack and surveillance drones.

Our ancestors could spot natural predators like hawks from afar by their silhouettes. We may need to be also aware of the present day predators. Spies looking for more than a meal. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) predicts that within 20 years there could be 30,000 drones flying over U.S. soil alone. As robotic birds will become commonplace in the near future, we should be prepared to identify them.
Aside from the practicality of using drones in distant wars where the pilot sits in a comfortable facility in his home country, oblivious to any danger,  while his Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) hunts down and kills those who are perceived to have a threat to our society, there are now hundreds more uses for UAVs. 

From peaceful uses like mapping terrain. Checking out building sites too dangerous for a man. A local police force observing a robbery in progress, to privacy infringing uses where a tiny silent drone looking like a dragon-fly hovers near your bedroom window to peek at you, to the use of a Reaper Drone or a Global Hawk to attack the Pentagon, observed by 214 surveillance cameras but only 10 frames released to the public.

Grim Reaper?

Is there a subliminal threat to society looms in the skies with those drones? Recently a Colorado company, who makes drones approved by the US Government, was assisting in surveying flood damage, a useful operation. They were ordered by FEMA, to ground their UAVs and anyone flying one would be arrested! No one has explained why.
Well anyone in the know is already aware that something sinister is going on in Colorado that someone doesn't want you to see. And that's just the beginning.

The future is now, keep watching your skies, just don't shoot down a real hawk, they're just looking for a meal.

Beware Apps in Windows 8.

Of course you know the world is changing, on the net especially. Google, Microsoft and Apple seem to me, to have sold out to the government agencies. (Even though those high tech companies have banded together to try to sue the government into letting them TELL you they are being controlled) You may need to to a little research on your own and look up FISA and FISC Court to enlighten yourself.

On your smart phone, you know that the 'phone', knows exactly where it is at any moment. GPS locating within a foot or two! And it can hear everything you say, and see everything you do. And read and record everything you write. And relate back to an observer exactly where you have been! And when you download a cool App, that will allow you to play a simple game, for instance, you give that App permission to watch everything you do. Not only that, but you give it permission to take the details of ALL your contacts and other information and use the data for whatever purpose. They know who all your friends are. Every person on facebook who ever clicked on you or follows you on Twitter.

So now with Windows 8, you can also get many Apps, from the Microsoft or Google Store, to play games or do productive work on your computer, or to simply entertain yourself. Beware, those Apps are the same as the phone Apps, and you give out the same permissions to strangers to invade your privacy. To see everything on your computer too, every picture of every person you know! Of course you know already that your digital camera embeds all the data of that picture within the numbers. Who took it, where, and when.

Remember when you bought the software on a CD? And loaded it onto your computer and no one knew anything about it. It was yours to do whatever you wanted with it. But under the mask of fearing piracy, Microsoft and others now keep the control and knowledge of who is using their software in their own 'cloud'!
BTW, the cloud use is plunging because no company will trust their private information to a leaky sieve in another company.

Do you think it is going to be like Russia or East Berlin? Don't kid yourself, it'll be way worse than that. Are your children getting good grades? Are their aptitudes being sent over the web by the education department? Do they really like art or music but might be more suitible for a technology career? Is a REeducation department going to be making that decision for them? The future is nigh.

The coming technology to be used against you will include voice-prints unique to YOU, and listening technology that can hear you whisper inside your bedroom from miles away! They already have facial recognition and YOU are probably already in that data-bank! We know the FBI can turn on your web-cam without the little light to show you it is on! And the NSA is siphoning virtually ALL the data going anywhere on the web. These kinds of leaks don't come out unless they've already been doing it for years!
And now there are reports of cameras hidden inside your smart TV, behind the screen! Watching you!
"We only want to know what channels you're watching," they say, while the guy behind them in the black hat nods agreement.
And have you noticed that the new laptop computers no longer have a removable battery? Is that so you cannot shut off the power supply so your meta data is still able to be transmitted? Without your knowledge.

And the government and law enforcement drone programs are ramping up so you can expect to see a drone patrolling your neighborhood in the immediate future. Yes, the very same drones that take out Pakistani or Yemeni 'bad guys' plotting against someone. And drones are capable to locking on a target and watching it for days! The target being YOU! And their batteries can be recharged with a laser! Allowing them to stalk you for perhaps weeks!
Shoot them down? The populace has guns. How many in that fringe populace are sharpshooters? The see-all drone will notice when you walk out on your porch with a long rifle. Don't the gun owners know that these dark forces already have them pinpointed? Innocent gun club people and deer hunters are not safe with any weapons.

So we've already seen those old WWII pics of people being transported on train to 'detention camps', but there's no need to ship you anywhere, only to pick out the trouble makers and contain them. Even small town police forces have SWAT equipment and armored riot vehicles. And FEMA, which is supposedly there to help you in times of emergency, has bought millions of rounds of hollow point ammo!
Homeland Security is securing the homeland, but for whom?
Is anyone noticing how many high military men are being removed from command? The problem with taking over a country is that the unknown quotient is who of the military will actually fire upon their own citizens if those people wake up and are forced into mass protests? Kent State will be like a Maypole party. Preparation is to remove those in suspect mode of not following orders. Maybe patriotic men.

And it is becoming increasingly evident, that whatever party, left or center or right, from fascist to communist, or whatever ideology they pretend to have, has no control whatever on the progression of this shadow government and their dark agenda. So if it's Bush or Obama, Chelsea Clinton or Mary Cheney, take your pick and spin the wheel, all the stops are at 'Bankrupt' anyway.
Don't shoot me, I am only the messenger. Unarmed.
But wait, information is armament isn't it? 

You notice I have not used the word terrorist yet, maybe it's because I don't know WHO the actual terrorists ARE!

Beware.

Dirty old men and web teens ...

Evidently Outlook doesn't mind if you contact those pretty young girls, looks like it is even encouraging it here? This is what comes up when I close an Outlook account after reading my email. An invitation to start a Skype conversation with a cute blonde. 

Parents everywhere are frightened out of their wits about their children being preyed upon by web stalkers. So what is this all about? Don't ask me, ask Microsoft, they're the ones who changed Hotmail into Outlook. Now they want to connect your Twitter account to Outlook. And any or all of your other social media accounts.

Makes you wonder why, doesn't it?

Here's why? Because the powers behind the scenes want to track you better, so connecting your Twitter etc. with your Outlook accounts, makes it a little easier for cross-referencing. And the more people on Skype, allows the NSA et al, to use PRISM's facial recognition software to add YOU into their database. In that secret huge new center in Utah. Now you know why Microsoft bought Skype for 8.5 billion when there were no other bidders, and ..... here's the big one, who installed the rogue code of spyware onto it almost immediately.


But are they using young blondes as bait-girls? Hmm, you decide exactly what is being encouraged here.  

#supermultitasker

Send Tweets from the People pane when you connect your Twitter account to Outlook.com.

Connect your accounts

. . . So you can coordinate and contact a girl on Skype and perhaps see her, write on her Facebook wall, message her on Twitter, there's even a pop-up dialogue box inviting her to the beach with you! You get her personal email address and even her Seattle home town with zip code! 
Scary, huh?

Or maybe it's just the NSA wanting to see if you're a dirty old man?
