The shocking new way you’re being spied on

I will likely be placed on someones list as a possible threat for replying, but please add my interest for privacy information to the others!!

Well, it just goes to show, our own government is as bad as I certainly thought they were! We’re all so “free” living in America. Yeah, right! Free to have our own government spy on each and every one of us! Everyone is a terrorist suspect is that it? Well personally, I think this kind of tactic stinks, just like our government for the most part!

Great idea to publish tips on how we can dodge the big eye/ear of Big Brother!
I also think it is time for us all to be thinking local and smaller … like neighborhoods … how to make a sustainable neighborhood/village … share resources … small groups of people working together can make a “go” of things when the proverbial kukka hits the fan … and staying under the radar is necessary! Thanks, Frank, and God bless you n yours ;o)

folks I have talked with say “I dont have anything to hide” they dont even think about the privacy we are supposed to have. After I remind them they have come around to realize this is not what our gumint should be doing. Please let me know anything i can do to stay “under the radar”

I’ll be very interested

Frank I have to say that this country is headed for a civil war of biblical proportions. The one percent keep getting richer, our anti american govt keeps letting too many foreigners in and the rest of us are losing everything on a scale never seen before. At my former job working for chester county paratransit, I was forced to get fingerprinted. They used the fact that the parent company is Krapf school bus and that all emlloyees had to do this. I was working tyere for four years before that happned. I refused and they told me if I didn’t ro it I woulr be suspended without pay until I submitted. Then I found out that the majority of bus drivers were not fingerprinted. I kept complaining that we dir n ot work wih children and that this was a violation of my rights. Needless to say within a year my job, which was payroll suddenly got split up among several other depts and I was sent packing. I found out later that it was never moved and they had hired someone else to do my job. But they had forced me and a lot of others into this act. They had iur paperwork made out so it looked like we were all schoolbus employees! How’s that for some govt beu

I went down the rabbit hole starting with the CATO link, I thought that this was a very interesting link about using metadata; Using Metadata to Find Paul Revere:

http://www.cato.org/blog/using-metadata-find-paul-revere

and since we’re on this subject you may want to read this from Wired Magazine last year 2012:

my thoughts at the time or perception that the plan was to convert audio to searchable text on demand in real time I re-read the article but did not find that although with this type of computing power I don’t see why it couldn’t happen.
I believe I heard the President say that he was not listening too our phone conversations, there is no need to listen if every piece of audio becomes searchable text.
Be sure and read the Paul Revere link above very interesting combine that with the second links information.

For sure, include me , I would like this information. I value my privacy.

I agree. The US government now consisting of self serving B#$$&@$$S is trying every way they can
to find ways to squease everything they can from the American public. The ruse of Homeland security to spy on us, as well as creating thousands of new buricradic positions, is the biggest scam the dogs in government has come up with in this decade.

I value my privacy, as a amercian citizen. But do not want it compermised by big brother. All are rights are being taken away. And some day soon we all will suffer by their hands.

This sounds GREAT!!! I read about this but it woudl be good to hear real life situations.

You bet I would like the information. It is outrageous and illegal what is being done. They cannot even protect their own information!

very interested in practical ways to avoid being spied on. how can we speak to someone and keep it private.

I would be very interested in staying under their radar

Yes I am interested I defiantly would like to know how to stay under the radar and keep my privacy to my self and keep my family safe from the government.

yes i am

Sorry to disappoint you Frank, but the truth is you’re not that important. I highly doubt that the government cares one way or another about you. Are you planning a terrorist attack? Do you plot attacks with people outside of this country? What are you doing that you’d be worried if the government is “listening in”? This is part of the trade off of having a secure nation. We have to be willing to deal with this if we expect the government to keep an eye or ear on terrorists. All this “Big Brother” crap is nothing more than fear tactics.

What I find apalling in the current debatre about government spying on U.S. citizens is that t hey are lying about the kinds of access to individual phone calls that they are using without any warrant or reasonable cause. And the stupid gullible press is just eating it up and not even questonining what types of imfo that the govberment is compilling on us. Have you heard about the drag net program that keys in on certain words that might come up in conversation and then records the entier converrsation? This isn’t even being metoned in the current debate.
Oh by the way it would be nice if you could show some pictures of the survival knives and list some sources. Take care!

I believe that the penalties are not strong enough for those caught for identity theft. A slap on the
wrist or a few hours of community service is a joke. Ten years of hard labor (enough to pay for their own board and room in jail) would be more appropriate. It would be a great determent for the rest of us. Not enough jails you say? The prisoners could build more. It wouldn’t cost a lot to feed and clothe them as they shouldn’t have it any better than the working poor. If they wanted to go on a hunger strike — GREAT! — save us some more money! If the penalties are great enough, there would be less crime. Even the lending institutions have 2 to 3 times the cost of repair withheld before releasing the money to contractors for repairs to be made to a house before a sale. Make the penalty exceed the crime.

PLEASE, sign me up! I do NOT trust this government, or anyone in it!

Frank, I’ve known of a number of these thing for nearly 20yrs. Technology is at least 15yrs ahead of what they let us know about. The likelihood of falling off the grid would be impossible, the best we could do is make it a little harder for them. Otherwise you would have to disconnect all electricity from your dwelling along with water because of meters, stop driving a car & carrying a license as those are GPS tracked as well as phone services- landline & cell- computers ipad etc. and any number of other things. Then you have to worry about your neighbor- the fed wants you to notify the anonomously of anyone strange or doing anything strange- which the above would put you in that category. You remember that’s what happened in Germany- even family members told on family members as a way not to be taken. To mr. leavett, just by going to this site you are on a list and likely being watched. These a just the facts.

Frank,
I hope that this has NOT been a “revelation” to you as your note
sounds. Remember that this has been going on for years. Remember also
that George W. Bush pushed through the Patriot Act and Obama saw fit to
continue its use. It is also highly likely that Reagan and Clinton used
similar tactics even without the Patriot ACt….. all lawyers know
that their 4th Amendments rights are null if the leave the country and
then come home….. Govt has and will continue to search bodies, hard
drives, phone call source/destination in effort to “make us
safer”…… the only real thing they need a warrant for is to get
the actual conversations on telephone. Many many years ago, the Supreme
Court ruled that there is no right to privacy when a third party (like
a telephone company or internet service provider) is involved in the
actions…… Obama is merely CONTINUING a long tradition of
government snooping…. or as any of the last four or five Presidents
would call it “safe guarding America”…… you should also
remember that the press reported that internet traffic was monitored
intrusively by Bush and Cheney…. this should be no surprise.

i would be interested in this information. thanks!

Yes! Thank you much.

Ben Franklin said it best with, “Those who would give up liberty for security get and deserve neither”(paraphrased)

Very interested! But aren’t you afraid of drawing attention just by showing interest?
Like the space aliens said, we used to have to abduct them and probe them for information, now they just give it to us on Facebook. After reading some of the comments all I can say is Go Don, you tell’em!

Yes I am interested in this so that it can helpme to be more transparent. I turn my Web Camera so that it is looking at the upper shelf of my desk. Always throws my friend off when she calls.

Yes..I am definitely interested in a ‘One Stop Shopping’ snoop proof everything!
