EGREGIOUS PRIVACY BREACHES...
THE TELESCREENS ARE HERE! The web cams and built-in TV cameras consumers now use for Skype have a hidden purpose: According to a report from the Daily Mail in the UK, former CIA director David Petraeus admits U.S. intelligence agencies already have the capability to access these signals and view inside people's living rooms without their knowledge!
TOTAL SURVEILLANCE OF ALL COMMUNICATIONS: The U.S. government now routinely scans, records, and logs virtually every electronic communication on earth through its vast and top secret Echelon and Carnivore programsincluding all telephone calls in and out of the United States, all emails, all text messages, all IMs, and all posts on popular websites like Facebook and Twitter. With supercomputers housed in a top-secret $2 billion bunker in Utah, they are able to crack every encryption code on the planet and, for the first time, cross reference every electronic communication and scrap of digital information on earth!
TRACKING CODES ON EVERYTHING: It's not just grocery stores and coffee shops that are tracking every purchase you make with loyalty cards. So is the government. For example, most people don't realize that since 2004 all laser printers contain special technologies that imprint a tracking code on every document you print so that they can be traced back to an individual, like a license plate.
THE POLICE ARE WATCHING YOUR EVERY MOVE: Next generation police cruisers and monitoring stations now use automated license plate readers (ALPRs) that log every license plate within "eyesight" and instantly record its location in a centralized police database without legislative knowledge or consent in many areas. The American Civil Liberties Union and The New York Times recently reported that cell phones of private individuals are being trackedwithout warrantsby State and local law enforcement all across the country so that the cell phone user's locations can be documented over the course of a day, week, month or longer!
DRONE AIRCRAFT TO BE USED TO SPY ON AMERICANS: The same unmanned drone aircraft that the CIA and the American military uses to kill terrorists in Pakistan are now being deployed by police to spy on U.S. citizens at home. Experts agree that up to 30,000 small, nearly silent drones will be in American air space by 2020. And all of it comes without a warrantand without Congressional approval.
HIDDEN CAMERAS AND MICROPHONES: Hidden government surveillance cameras are popping up everywhere. The new "Intelli-Streets" systems of street lights contain hidden cameras and microphones to record everything within a certain radiusas well as real-time telemetry feeds back to police headquarters. As in the UK, which led the way in Big Brother surveillance of its citizens, police agencies justify their compulsive spying on law abiding citizens as a necessary crime-fighting tool.
EVEN YOUR CAR IS SPYING ON YOU: Most late model cars in the U.S. now contain an Electronic or Event Data Recorder (EDR) that contains detailed information on your driving habits, speed, locations and whether or not you were wearing a seat belt. This vast treasure trove of information can now be used against you in court or by insurance companies raising your rates. If the Feds have their way, such technological spying will soon be mandatory: In April 2012, the Senate passed a bill that would require all new cars in the United States to be fitted with black box data recorders from 2015 onwards.
DATA MINING: The advent of new supercomputers means that every scrap of information about you can now be obtained, logged and correlated. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Security Branch Analysis Center (NSAC) has more than 1.5 billion government and private sector records about U.S. citizens collected from commercial databases, government information and criminal probes. A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit launched by the Electronic Privacy Information Center revealed that Federal agencies now routinely spy on journalists and citizens who criticize the government in any way. Among the websites in which data is now routinely collected, including who accesses them and for how long, is Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, the Huffington Post and the Drudge Report.
BUT HERE'S A SCARIER ASPECT
OF ALL THIS SPYING:
The government isn't the only one accessing confidential information and misusing it...
...As a retired couple with the unfortunate last name of Zimmerman discovered!
In the wake of the killing of a young black youth in Florida by a neighborhood watch participant named George Zimmerman in early 2012, self-appointed Internet investigators thought they discovered the home address of the man responsible.
The film director Spike Lee sent a "Twitter" message to hundreds of thousands of people giving what turned out to be the address for the wrong Zimmerman. As a result, a retired couple with the same last name, but no relation to the man involved in the altercation, had to flee for their lives from their home after receiving death threats!
