I Spy With My Federal Eye....

We're in the middle of a giant spy game.  If you frequent patriot websites and alternative news sites, you are definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, being tracked.  You are "on the list".

This week, James Wesley Rawles, the "father of the Survivalist movement", released the following statement on his website.

"It has come to my attention that from August of 2011 to November of 2011, the FBI secretly redirected the web traffic of more than 10% of SurvivalBlog’s US visitors through CJIS, their sprawling data center situated on 900 acres, 10 miles from Clarksburg, West Virginia. There, the Feebees surreptitiously collected the IP addresses of my site visitors. In all, 4,906 of 35,494 selected connections ended up going to or through the FBI servers....Furthermore, we discovered that the FBI attached a long-lived cookiethat allowed them to track the sites that readers subsequently visited. I suspect that the FBI has done the same to hundreds of other web sites."

~ James Wesley Rawles, SurvivalBlog

Alternative news sites are all carrying the story, and some preppers and patriots are diving for cover, vowing not to visit these sites again. The disconcerting fact is that  the internet has been used as a tool by the nominal government to follow us, to identify us, and to catalogue us according to what type of threat we offer.

Did you ever stop to think, that is the ONLY reason we still have an accessible internet?

If the Gestapo DHS was not able to use the internet against us, you can bet that it would be locked down.  Already, sites disseminating the truth against these agencies are having myriad Denial of Service attacks.  Search engines have completely changed their parameters, causing government propaganda to show up on the first three pages of any search.  Sites that spread the word, like Infowars, have been "de-listed" from Google, meaning they only show up if you type in the word "Infowars" with any search that you do.

Consider the fact that the "Arab Spring" revolution last year was coordinated almost solely through social media:  Facebook, Twitter, blogs and web forums.  If we know this, you can bet that so do the alphabet soup agencies.  When revolution begins to be coordinated in America, our ability to communicate over the internet will cease.

When the time comes that the DHS Thought Police feel that they have accumulated enough information about us, the 'net will be locked down.  When Revolution occurs, the 'net will be locked down.  The internet is our Paul Revere - our early warning system and the fastest way to spread the word of threats.  As certain sites become more and more proactive, those sites will be shut down.

We only have the internet as long as the Gestapo DHS feels that it is more useful to them than it is to us.

Personally, I intend to use the internet to give the government spies the finger. 

• I will do everything I can to thwart their efforts to track me, including changing operating systems and installing bigger and better firewalls.
• I will continue writing to do my part to spread the word about the takeover from within of the United States government.
• I will continue to visit the alternative news sites on a daily basis to show them my support.
• I will not curtail my activities on the internet one bit. 
• I will continue to dissent and to encourage others to do so.

Go ahead: follow me around the web.  If there's a list (and we all know there is) then I'm already on it.  Changing my habits now will do nothing to remove me from this list.

So, to all you dissident rebel Patriots, use the internet now to gather all of the information that you can.  Make connections with other like-minded folks.  Organize, spread the word and resist, while always keeping in mind that both sides can play at the "dis-information" game.  When the threat of an internet-based Patriot movement outweighs the allure of being able to spy on us, the internet will be no more until we can take it back.

To quote a very wise man on a web forum:   "What we need to do is just make sure they get the proper message: There are TENS OF MILLIONS of us, we are armed, and we are PISSED!"

Freedom should not be a radical concept in America.  Fighting for freedom should not be considered a treasonous act.  Voicing opinions of dissent should be welcomed in a country founded on liberty and free speech. The true revolution begins in your own mind.

The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations ... This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.

John Adams, Feb. 13, 1818

How to Become a Government Spy in Three Easy Steps

If you thought that your childhood dreams of being a spy were dashed on the rocky cliffs of reality, have I got news for you!

The Department of Homeland Gestapo Security is looking for spies right now.  In fact they are actively recruiting everyday folks in the name of anti-terrorism to perform surveillance.  Your country needs you, my friend!

The requirements are not as stringent as you might think.  Back when you applied for that position in the FBI, you needed a certain degree, an impeccable record and a background check. 

Today, all you need is a check list and access to a phone or a computer. It really is that simple, so let's get started and fight some crime!


STEP ONE:

If you SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.  The DHS has a website chock full of tips to allow you to determine whether your neighbor has a bomb building facility in his garage or if he's just planning to dig up and fertilize a big garden.  There's even a patriotic acronym to help you remember what information a good spy should provide.

S SIZE:   note the number of people in the group, details of their appearance, gender and approximate ages.

A ACTIVITY - describe exactly what they are doing.

L LOCATION - document exactly where the suspicious activity taking place

U UNIFORM - remember what they are wearing, including shoes

T TIME - provide the date, time of day and duration of the activity

E EQUIPMENT - be able to describe the vehicle, camera, weapons or suspicious packages

STEP TWO:

Go undercover as....yourself.

No matter what your occupation, the DHS has a flyer for you. The FBI has produced a series of handouts to help you get your junior agent badge.  These "suspicious activity reporting flyers" can be found at PUBLICINTELLIGENCE.NET.

The "threat menu" provides linke to documents that will help you spot a budding terror cell in the following settings or occupations:

Airport Service Provider

Beauty Supply Store

Pharmacy

Bulk Fuel Distributors

Construction Sites

Diving or Marine Shops

Electronics Stores

Farm Supply Stores

Banks and Financial Institutions

Hobby Shops

Home Improvement Stores

Hotels or Motels

Internet Cafes

Shopping Malls

Martial Arts Studios

Paintball Arenas

Mass Transit

Military Surplus Stores

Peroxide and Explosive Vendors

Rental Car Agencies

Rental Properties and Apartment Buildings

Moving Van Rental Businesses

Storage Facilities

Tattoo Parlors

Of course, these locations don't give all of us the opportunity to surveil those around us.  For the rest of us, thankfully, there's WAL-MART.  We all know that Wal-Mart is a veritable hub of terrorist activities but the DHS has it covered, with ads promoting "hometown security" at a check out near you.

(HINT: Be especially certain to keep a watchful eye on those people purchasing excessive amounts of rice...it's a dead giveaway that the buyer is an anti-government extremist.)

STEP THREE

If all else fails and you are stymied with your observations of your friends, neighbors and coworkers, you can consider a career change and become a HOT DOG VENDOR and be personally trained by the TSA.

Through a branch of their FIRST OBSERVER PROGRAM,  a secret spy organization comprised of school bus drivers and other transportation providers, the TSA trained over 8000 hot dog vendors and park employees covertly to keep their eyes open during the Superbowl.  The fearless trainees were instructed to beware of those wearing hooded sweatshirts, using a video camera, recording the action on a cell phone or having the audacity to drive a van to the big game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Folks, it's never too late to live your dream!  Being a secret agent has never been easier.  You have been empowered by the United States government to look out for your country and become a hero.  Songs will be written about you and children will venerate your name...it may even be added to the Pledge of Allegiance. 

You, my friend, have been recruited to rat out your neighbors to save the country....it's time to take action and kick some terrorist butt!

What If Someone Could See Everything You've Ever Googled?

What if there was a little box that could be placed in your home that could.....

.... track every Google search that you ran?

.... see who you email?

.... see from whom you receive emails?

.... watch your keystrokes to learn all your passwords?

.... turn on a camera and watch you at any given time?

.... gather information about your likes, dislikes, political affiliations and religious beliefs?

.... dispense all of the above personal data to fusion centers, whose only purpose is to put together profiles of you and your family?

As it turns out, there is such a box, and if you are reading this, you're on it right now.  You not only voluntarily brought this device into your home, you paid good money for it.  Your computer is spying on you.

The home computer is bar none the greatest information sharing device ever created.  We can study anything our little hearts desire.  We can meet other people anywhere on the globe who have similar interests to us.  We can be kept constantly up to date with news, communication with friends and family and updates to our inboxes about myriad topics.

Unfortunately there is a dark side to having a home computer.  A home computer means that someone else could have constant access to US.



Here are just a few little tricks that your computer may be up to, unbeknownst to you.

GOOGLE:

Google has the best reputation in the world as a search engine extraordinaire.  But the times are changing and Google is becoming less and less trustworthy. 

First there is the Gmail scandal.  If you are a user of the free email service, you may have noticed that the ads running down the side of the homepage seem uniquely targeted to your current interests.  That is precisely because they ARE - Gmail scans every single email sent, gleaning information for "advertisers".  That's right, every single email you send through Gmail is read.  Apparently it is read by a computer, but the point is, your emails are not private.  Password, smassword.

Next there is the issue of censored searches.  Unless you specifically use keywords that will hook you up with alternative news sources, Google searches are now directing you towards the most politically correct answers.  Gone are the days when you can simply type in, for example, 9/11, and find information that is provided based on ratings - now you actually need to already have the source that you want the information from to get a clear picture...for example, "Infowars 9/11.  Some websites, like Infowars, are no longer coming up in Google searches unless you include them in your search terms.    At the end of 2010, Google blacklisted Infowars and Prison Planet from it's search aggregates, despite the fact that those sites get more hits than many mainstream media sites that show up front and center.

Finally, let's talk about Google's new "privacy policy."   As it turns out, that policy isn't keeping very much private at all.  As of March 1, in an effort to its ads to the tastes of individual consumers, Google will integrate information from all of it's services, including the search engine itself, Youtube and the aforementioned Gmail.  Google refers to this as a "more intuitive Google experience."  Unfortunately for users who prefer more privacy, there is no option to "opt out" of this information gathering and sharing.  Check out THIS ARTICLE that recently appeared in The Washington Post for more information on the new lack-of-privacy policy.

YAHOO

Not to be outdone, Yahoo also "analyzes" the content of your emails. And according to their guide for compliance with law enforcement officers, Yahoo hangs on to your information for far longer than the privacy policy states they will.  Here are some alarming statistics, directly from Yahoo, wrapped up in a menu-priced
17 PAGE GUIDE

~  All IP addresses that you use to log into your Yahoo mail account are retained for one year, giving an excellent way to track your movements, find your workplace, or see who you visit.
~  Instant messages and chats are logged for a minimum of 60 days.
~  The information provided to law enforcement agencies is not a matter of civic duty - the major communications companies all have "price lists". The US Marshall Service admitted to having PRICE LISTS FOR DATA INTERCEPTION SERVICES from Yahoo, Verizon, Cox Communications,  and ComCast.

FACEBOOK

Over half a billion people worldwide voluntarily provide information about their personal lives, their friends, their families, their religious beliefs and their political agendas on Facebook.

Nowhere can be found a bigger fountain of personal information.  As a way to increase the information Facebook learns about it's users, when a person is logged into Facebook on a computer, a cookie tracks all other sites visited on that same computer.  If you are logged into Facebook, the door to your home computer usage is wide open.

Facebook uses facial recognition technology to "tag" people in photographs.  Facebook is also like the evil town gossips, making assumptions about you based on who your friends are.  Ads that are targeted to your "friends" can also make it onto your own page. Facebook figures you'll have the same interests.

Facebook uses GPS technology to post the location where photographs have been taken and/or uploaded, making even your physical location public information.

Skype

Purchased in May of 2011 by MICROSOFT, Skype is the world's #1 provider of VoIP services.  Two years before making the purchase Microsoft began efforts to patent technology to intercept VoIP calls. 

The information can be used in many ways.  Criminally speaking, credit card numbers, social security numbers or other personally identifying information can be easily procured.  Information and keywords gathered from phone calls can be used in legal proceedings.  Data-mining techniques can be used to gear advertisments and marketing based on conversations that you think are private.

Even more alarming is the fact that once Skype is downloaded on your computer, it is possible to turn on your webcam from a remote location.  That's right.  You might be sitting there reading the latest blog from your favorite afghan-knitting granny and somebody, somewhere, might be looking back at you.

You owe it to yourself and your personal security to learn as much as you can about how your computer, your home and even your thoughts, if you are careless enough to type them in somewhere, can be accessed.

FUSION CENTERS

Finally, know that fusion centers really do exist and they are the final clearinghouse for all of this information.  Sometimes loosely cloaked as "marketing research" facilities, they have systems for corralling the information gleaned from your computer usage that will provide a very complete profile of you.  That profile may contain information about your relationships, your sexual orientation and fantasies, your political ideologies, your religious beliefs, your family, your friends, your bank accounts, where your money comes from, photo recognition profiles....absolutely everything there is to know about you. 

The fusion centers are the real threat - if personal freedoms continue to erode at the current rate, you may one day be deemed an enemy of the state based on your Facebook status updates.  Information compiled there could, potentially, make you a target of the government.


Personally, I have no intention of ceasing my usage of the internet.  The internet and the continuous access to knowledge make this a great time to be alive.  I will continue to do my research, I'll continue to share my opinions and information.  But I will do these things knowing that nothing is private anymore.
