Spies, spies everywhere — here's what to do
Almost anything can be sold to the American public in the interest
of personal safety. People will seemingly surrender all their rights if someone
in authority can convince them it will keep them safe.
Politicians and bureaucrats use crime as an excuse for its massive
surveillance apparatus. Video surveillance is a fact of modern life. In China,
they are even using video to clue in to your emotional state as part of your
"social credit score" there.
Worse, as China Digital Times reports, "A
new report from The Intercept's Mara Hvistendahl uncovers how U.S. software giant
Oracle worked with Chinese law enforcement to supply analytics software for
China's burgeoning surveillance state. At the same time, other reports have revealed how Chinese
manufacturers of surveillance equipment are widely supplying governments
and companies in the West."
Cameras are more prevalent in Europe than in the U.S., but even
here, your activities are likely being recorded by somebody, somewhere dozens
of times every day. Estimates are there are more than 30 million surveillance
cameras deployed in the U.S. shooting more than 4 billion hours of footage
every week.
Every time you use an ATM machine, go into any government
building, drive the streets, go through a toll booth, buy a snack at a
convenience store, purchase certain over-the-counter medications at a
drugstore, try your luck at a casino, browse at a shopping mall or even just
stroll down the sidewalk, your picture is being taken and/or your actions are
being recorded in a database. Stores are capturing your visage as you
shop, pairing your face with your email address and your computer browser, and
then sending you ads for the items you looked at in the stores.
Some surveillance cameras are so powerful they can read your text
messages from more than 800 feet away. And they record not just your image but
everything you say.
Governments justify video surveillance as a tool to prevent crime,
improve traffic safety, deter fraud and catch terrorists. Companies and
employers justify video spying for security reasons and to keep an eye on
employee activities. Private individuals install spycams to see who's at the
door and to monitor their property.
Amazon, which is partially funded by the government and collects
data for the government, took it one step further via its Ring doorbell
division. This is a smart doorbell that uses the camera to monitor a user's
neighborhood with facial recognition technology and report suspicious activity
to authorities. Amazon even wants to license this "Rekognition"
technology to government for mass surveillance — to spy on people simply
walking down the street. After all, Keith Alexander — a retired four-star U.S.
Army general and former National Security Agency director who infamously lied
about the federal government's mass surveillance program — joined the board of
Amazon.
Certainly, personal cameras make excellent deterrents to keep
criminals from your property. And they serve as great weapons to secure
convictions in cases of criminal activity. But should citizens partner with
government to grow the massive spying apparatus?
That's exactly what's happening in a number of cities across the
country through a program called SafeCam. Participants in the program select
cameras and monitoring systems from certain vendors and opt for their
"public-facing cameras" into the program. The live video feeds then
automatically go to the city's central monitoring center.
In essence, people are setting up a system that allows government
to spy on them and their neighbors 24/7. People used to fear the idea of
"Big Brother" watching whatever they do. Now they are inviting Big
Brother onto their property.
And since we live in a massive welfare state, anyone who can't
afford his own cameras and doesn't want to be left out of view of the
government's prying eyes can get a "free" government camera.
The idea of government using its massive surveillance apparatus to
solve crimes can seem palatable if we trusted that the government has our best
interests at heart and there weren't ne'er-do-wells and sociopaths inhabiting
the halls of power.
Meanwhile, technology is being advanced that purports to be able
to make a risk assessment of someone based on his eyes or the sound of his voice. This is the essence of
pre-crime: Making a person a criminal before he commits a criminal act based on
the possibility he may commit a crime as determined by algorithms. It certainly
spells the end of any pretense at due process.
We know from experience that government is at war with us. The
fact that most Americans are totally oblivious to all-out war against them
doesn't change a thing. Governments always silently make war on their own
citizens behind a propaganda front so as to alert as few people as possible.
The less resistance the better.
Benevolent totalitarianism is not an inherent contradiction or an
oxymoron. It is a political system of persuasion in which the people are
manipulated against their self-interest.
Every action of government is psychological coercion, however
concealed, to transfer more and more wealth and authority to the system.
Crime is a means or excuse for regimentation. Law and order is the
pretense. Regimentation of honest working people is the result.
For years I have been warning about the growing police state and
the rise of benevolent totalitarianism, and those warnings have often been
greeted with charges of fear-mongering or tin foil-hattery.
But America is on life support, and government men know this.
Unless the leviathan government is torn down to its Constitutional foundation,
the country will rip itself apart. It may well be too late to prevent it.
The government, through its alphabet soup agencies and its
surveillance apparatus, are terrorizing the American people. Terrorizing by
government cannot survive against a well-armed citizenry. That is why the
elected class has pushed so hard to disarm the populace and why the
surveillance state is being expanded at breakneck speed.
It's part of the globalists' plans. According to the projections of the WEF's
"Global Future Councils," privacy will be abolished during the next
decade.
Be sure that you understand that the government thinks that you
and your property are their business. Often those in power think they are
entitled to what you have. Bureaucrats don't like the word privacy. Can you
guess why? Information on citizens is absolutely essential to governments. The
business of government is information on its citizens. Read this over and over.
You must understand the implications.
Low-profile living should be your rule. You must already know not
to drive a Mercedes on a Chevrolet income. The reason is that the IRS sometimes
computes a "net worth" assessment of taxes if they think your
standard of living (i.e., what you display) is greater than your income.
Don't disclose any more than you need to, ever. All
government agencies are tied directly to the IRS through their computer.
You must also know that although cash is private, the government
is trying to do away with cash so that you and your income and spending can be
tracked precisely. Credit cards are convenient, and you are offered endless
"rewards" to use them, but information about your credit is scattered
around the world with total disregard for your privacy. Many people receive
several solicitations a week to apply for a new credit card. How do you think
the credit card company discovered you might be a good prospect for a new
credit card?
When you want to do a transaction and keep it private and out of
bank records, consider doing it in cash despite how inconvenient the government
wants to make it. Also consider bartering or trade of goods and services, with
no record except your handshake. The reason? Governments don't like cash. They
are suspicious of cash transactions. Their excuse is the drug trade. What they
really want is to control you. So as long as what you are doing is not illegal,
you can still do small, private cash transactions and not violate any Treasury
reporting rules.
There is no privacy on the Internet! The world's most popular
websites are tracking and recording your keystrokes, mouse movements, scrolling
behaviors and the pages you visit. This puts your most sensitive information at
risk.
A study conducted by Princeton University's Web Transparency and
Accountability Project discovered that popular sites like Microsoft, Adobe,
WordPress, Godaddy, Spotify, Skype, Samsung and Rotten Tomatoes are using
scripts that capture the data and send it to third parties. All told, 482 of
the 50,000 most-viewed sites are using the session replay scripts. Among the
information grabbed includes passwords, credit card information and medical
information.
Researcher Steven Englehardt, a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton, told
DailyMail.com, "Unlike typical analytics services that provide aggregate
statistics, these scripts are intended for the recording and playback of
individual browsing sessions, as if someone is looking over your shoulder...
This may expose users to identity theft, online scams and other unwanted
behavior."
Although this is a scary situation, to say the least, you can do
something more about it. There is no such thing as freedom without privacy.
There is no such thing as privacy unless you use your freedom to make it
happen. Privacy and freedom are inseparable concepts. We live in an information
society. It follows that we have no freedom left if we do not restrict, impede
and stop creating that information by freely giving out information.
"Our" congress has legislated our privacy away. They
have thus legislated our freedom away. If you are to have any privacy, it will
be up to you and you alone. Admittedly, being private is not convenient nor
easy.
Try your best to keep your records private. If you must show
a document to your lawyer or accountant, you go personally with the papers and
return with the papers.
Stay away from lawyers, accountants, and courts
as much as possible. If you can settle out of court, try to do so every time,
whether as a plaintiff or defendant. Use private or even public arbitration
services and arbitration judges instead.
Get prepared forms and do your own legal work.
Most lawyers have their secretaries fill out these forms anyway and charge for
"professional" legal work.
As long as most people don't feel any direct
threat, they relax and let the system run their lives. But if something
happens, such as a lawsuit or a serious IRS field audit or even a criminal
investigation, your life can become a nightmare overnight. In this way, the government
destroys people and families one by one, like sitting ducks. It can strip you
of everything you have ever worked for and own. It is true that everything that
you say or otherwise reveal about yourself can and will be used against you.
Learn low-profile living!
Yours for the truth,

What are some items that you think you should start hoarding
for a major, cataclysmic disaster? Water? Absolutely. Food? Also absolutely.
Ammo? For sure. First aid equipment? Definitely. Gasoline? Yep.
The list goes on. All of those things
are incredibly valuable items to hoard for survival, and you can probably think
of about ten or twenty other types of survival supplies as well.
That being said, there are countless
ordinary items--things people use every day--that are relatively cheap and can
be used for survival. The wisest among us are already stockpiling them...
