U.S. Government spying on entire U.S., to nobody's surprise

[Jericho Mile]

I agree with you somewhat; however, if everyone in this country thought the way you do, there would NEVER be ANY change. There are so many people who had the courage to take a stand, and those people created movements and made history.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world"

Change is happening as we speak...don't you think? Are you a part of it? Do your thing...I'll do mine...no ill feelings. Not trying to win anyone over....digging holes

I get what you're saying. I feel that way sometimes too. I just think that if everyone in this country felt that they were powerless, there would be no change. Imagine if M.L.King Jr. had felt powerless...

Like Wayne said... that is how people get taken advantage of by those who know you will remain silent and submissive.

Obviously you have not read even half of the posts in this thread...EVERYTHING that is done via technology {i.e. all your calls, all your texts, all your internet traffic, license plates, etc.} are being recorded...stored. Accessible from just about any leo outfit. They might not be targeting a weed site troll...but just wait to you fuck up some day or do come under the radar of a cop...

Don't worry though...Patrick and the gang will help you out...

Yep... and I've always been a bit of an conspiracy theorist. I'm just surprised that people are surprised by this. Our government is corrupt and has been for a long time; however, we do live in a powerful country ran by powerful people who can most likely access our gps pinpoint, jump on the satellites which can see right through the roof of our houses, and zoom in to see our tiny little fingers typing on our laptops on the couch. Scary shit! BUT how does that affect me? It doesn't. Nothing I do or say could possibly be that important to the government... they probably have a reason and a motive for doing what they're doing. We do not know what that is and probably never will. Does that make it ok or moral? No. But the average person, which most of us are, is not on their agenda.

Where did I say (don't care what lil says) I'm silent or submissive or powerless? Realistic enough to understand...that the masses are not designed to be on the same page. There is no great awakening going to occur....where everyone embraces each other with sanity. It's not a part of the human condition..so...move on.

It's a greedy world...but then...when has it not been? Situational awareness. I've no interest in marching around trying to change people's minds...but you do....good....have at it. I wouldn't know what to say.

Change people's minds? This is a forum where people discuss topics, and usually discussions require input, facts, knowledge, and sometimes a little PERSPECTIVE. I apologize if my perspective offended you? Perhaps such an environment is not where small minds such as yours belong.

You are thinking like a person who wayne described a couple back. A person who has little hope for their future and thinks they will always be on the bottom of the totem pole. Those are the people who should in deed just be quiet and TAKE IT like the rest of their kind do which is really a result of something they were born with and cant help: stupidity.

Motive for whatever they are doing?

"Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it" - Edward Snowden

They claim it is for terrorism. over 10 billion spent each year on the program and there have been other problems that are worse then "terrorism" that get nowhere near the amount of funding that the NSA gets from the american taxpayers. Americans were duped just like LilWaynE said. Duped into the terrorism scheme.

Now light has been shed on what is really happening and that is that innocent americans (yes even the ones who think there is no reason the government would EVER look at them) are having their rights violated by the second and it seems most don't even realize where they are headed....

Federal 'nudge squad' led by 20-something wunderkind gears up to change Americans' behaviors – for our own good


When does a nudge become a shove?


Americans may find out in coming years, as the federal government is setting up a 'behavioral insights team' to tinker with the way we accomplish everything from saving money and staying in school to losing weight and becoming more energy-efficient.

A document from Maya Shankar, a late-20s Yale graduate and former violin prodigy, sketches out the Obama administration's grand plans for behavioral science.

Shankar joined the Obama administration in April as a senior policy advisor at the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy.


'nsights from the social and behavioral sciences can be used to help design public policies that work better, cost less, and help people to achieve their goals,' says her proposal, first spotted by Fox News when Shankar sought help from a university professor.


In 2006 Shankar was named one of Glamour magazine's 'Top Ten College Women,' telling the editors that her dream job was to become 'Science advisor to the president.' A handful of years later, she's already there.

Shankar's mandate is to reproduce a British pilot project in the U.S. Launched in 2010, it identifies and tests 'interventions' that can save the government money, and drives ordinary Britons to embrace behaviors that the government finds desirable and cost-effective.

In the UK, a series of bulletins from the office of the Prime Minister's cabinet sketch out how broad the approaches have become. They have already tackled wasting food, cheating on exams, job-seeking schedules, skimping on charitable giving, drinking milk, morning commutes, choosing sources of energy and sticking to New Year's resolution.

Now the concept is poised to enter America with a formal structure consisting of a team to oversee clinical experiments to see what works and what doesn't. Shankar's memo suggests the project is already up and running.

'We are already working with over a dozen federal departments and agencies on newly-designed behavioral insights projects,' the document reads, 'including the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, Veterans Administration, Department of Treasury, Social Security Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the United States Department of Agriculture.'


Shankar did not respond to a request for comment. She finished her postdoctoral research at Stanford this year, where her faculty advisor was Dr. Samuel McClure.

McClure studies 'delay discounting,' the habit of giving up large future rewards in favor of smaller bonuses in the short term.

Some behavioral scientists believe they can improve people's self-control by understanding the relationship between short term memory, intelligence and delay discounting.

This has mostly been used to counter compulsive gambling and substance abuse, but Shankar's entry into government science circles may indicate that health insurance objectors and lapsed recyclers could soon fall into a similar category.

The science community is split on the value of 'nudge paternalism' in government.

Richard Thaler, who co-authored the book 'Nudge' with former White House regulatory czar Cass Sunstein, told Fox News that anyone 'who would not want such a program ... must either be misinformed or misguided.'

'The goal is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government by using scientifically collected evidence to inform policy designs. What is the alternative?' Thaler asked.


But Utah State University economist Michael Thomas said he was 'very skeptical of a team promoting nudge policies' in Washington.


'Ultimately, nudging ... assumes a small group of people in government know better about choices than the individuals making them.'

After three years, the British government announced in May that it would seek to find a commercial sponsor and privatize the entire project, making it 'the first policy unit to spin off from central government,' according to Cabinet Minister Francis Maude.

Initial reports that the agency is on course to save the government $483 million over five years may make it a valuable takeover target for a private industry seeking to trim its own fat while acquiring the cachet of scientific relevance.

David Halpern, its government director, has claimed that 'billions will be saved.'


In the U.S., however, there's no indication that the White House's 'nudge unit' will be anything other than a government enterprise.

That may not bode well for the Obama administration, given the cautionary tale posed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose long-ridiculed ban on large-size fizzy drinks has officially fallen flat.

An appeals court ruled Tuesday that the city's Board of Health didn't have the constitutional authority to limit how much soda can go into a restaurant's cup.


The measure was originally hailed as a perfect example of 'nudge' paternalism that would subtly change behaviors without preventing the truly thirsty from buying two cups.


But the ruling will set a precedent that opens up such government interventions to legal nannying of its own from industries whose bottom lines are affected when bureaucracies try to tweak what ordinary people do, and how they do it.

A Key Element of SOPA Is Back

lot of things contributed to the demise of the infamous Stop Online Piracy Act, a 2012 legislative proposal to severely restrict online content sharing.

There were blackouts by content sharers Wikipedia and YouTube and thousands of citizens who called or emailed their members of Congress. Ultimately President Obama came out against SOPA, as did lawmakers on the left and right, and the bill was shelved.

Early in that debate, about 50 petitioners went to the White House site We the People to demand SOPA be shut down. That didn’t make much difference to SOPA but it meant a lot for We the People, which was only a few months old when the SOPA petition launched and had only seen a handful of popular petitions up to that point.

Now a key element of SOPA is back in a report from the Commerce Department’s Internet Policy Task Force and the protesters are back on We the People. A petition to Stop SOPA 2013 has received more than 88,000 signatures since it was posted Thursday and is well on its way to acquiring the 100,000 signatures necessary for an official White House response.

The Commerce proposal would make it a felony to stream copyrighted works without permission. That might include the parody and homage music videos that clog the pores of YouTube and could ensnare even Justin Bieber in its dragnet.

In response to a similar proposal in legislation by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., the teen heart throb said the senator should be “put away in cuffs.”

^ exactly wrong jericho. humans are capable of manifesting their desires. you have made some of your desires come true in your life. if humans believe that they can not manifest their desires then they have effectively castrated themselves.

on to the latest release on nsa spying to control people in positions of power. below is a link from an insider in an 11 minute interview that gives some details:

^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6m1XbWOfVk#t=204


if you are feeling a little gloomy about this nsa stuff this ^^ 11 minute video is excellent and demonstrates that steps one and two towards eliminating the cabal are happening now. we are in the beginning stages of a tsunami groundswell event.

 

[idiit]

jericho, i don't know how old you are but let's look at this from a parent's perspective.

are you going to teach your kids "to be realistic and not try to make positive changes manifest in their lives"?

are you going to cut off your children's nut-sacks?

without the encouragement in the fact that human's can manifest they effectively lose their ability to manifest.

this nsa program is a threat to all of humanity. it must be dealt with globally.

the first giant baby step is to inform the masses of the truth.

the second giant baby step is to inform the masses that we can make a difference.

the anti-cabal movement will gather power and manifest itself subsequently. we don't need to generate a 1000 page manifesto apriori to get it done.

By Joseph Menn
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - If the United States attacks Syria, it will be the first time it strikes a country that is capable of waging retaliatory cyberspace attacks on American targets.
The risk is heightened by Syria's alliance with Iran, which has built up its cyber capability in the past three years, and already gives the country technical and other support. If Iran stood with Syria in any fray with the United States that would significantly increase the cyber threat, security experts said.
Organized cyber attacks have already been carried out by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), a hacking group loyal to the government of President Bashar al-Assad. It has disrupted the websites of U.S. media and Internet companies and is now threatening to step up such hacking if Washington bombs Damascus.
"It's likely that the Syrian Electronic Army does something in response, perhaps with some assistance from Iranian-related groups," said former White House cyber security and counter terror advisor Richard Clarke.
Little is known about the hackers behind the Syrian Electronic Army, and there is no evidence that the group is capable of destructive attacks on critical infrastructure.
However, former U.S. National Security Agency director Michael Hayden told Reuters that the SEA "sounds like an Iranian proxy," and it could have much greater ability than it has displayed.
Thus far, the SEA's most disruptive act was in April when it broke into the Twitter account of the Associated Press and sent fictional tweets about explosions at the White House. The false messages sent the stock market into a downward spiral that, for a short time, erased more than $100 billion in value.
In an email to Reuters on Wednesday, the SEA said if the U.S. military moves against Syria "our targets will be different."
"Everything will be possible if the U.S. begins hostile military actions against Syria," the group said in the note.
President Barack Obama vowed on Wednesday that the Syrian government would face "international consequences" for last week's deadly chemical attack in Syria, but he made clear that any military action would be limited.
Asked about the threat of cyber retaliation, U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesman Peter Boogaard said the government "is closely following the situation and actively collaborates and shares information with public and private sector partners every day."
A U.S. Department of Defense spokesman said he could not discuss specific threats, while another source at the Pentagon said no unusual activity had been detected by late on Wednesday.
IRAN SHARPENS ITS GAME
Cyber experts have said that Iran increased its cyber capabilities after the United States used the Stuxnet virus to attack Tehran's nuclear program.
U.S. intelligence officials have blamed hackers sponsored by Iran for a series of so-called distributed-denial-of-service attacks against many U.S. banking sites. In DDoS attacks, thousands of computers try to contact a target website at the same time, overwhelming it and rendering it inaccessible.
In three waves of attacks since last September, consumers have reported inability to conduct online transactions at more than a dozen banks, including Wells Fargo & Co, Citigroup Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of America Corp. Banks have spent millions of dollars to fend off the hackers and restore service.
Researchers have said that Iran has also infiltrated Western oil companies, and it could try to destroy data, though that would increase the risk of retaliation by the United States.
Things in cyberspace would get more complicated if Russia, an ally of Iran and Syria, were to step in. Former Obama administration officials have said that Russia, which has supplied arms to Syria, has cyber capabilities nearly as powerful as the United States.
Even if the Russian government did not act directly, the country's private hackers rank with those in China in their ability and willingness to conduct "patriotic" attacks. Cyber experts have said that Russian hackers have struck at government and other sites in Estonia and Georgia.
The Syrian Electronic Army's servers are based in Russia, and that alliance could strengthen if matters in Syria became more dramatic, said Paul Ferguson of the Internet security company IID.
"We already have a bad geopolitical situation," Ferguson said. "This could play into the entire narrative I don't want to see happen."
It is unclear how much cyber damage Syria could or would want to inflict, said Dmitri Alperovitch, chief technology officer of security firm CrowdStrike.
"We haven't seen significant intrusion capabilities from them or destructive capabilities," he said.
Earlier this week, as the Obama administration pushed for more support for strikes on Syria, the New York Times, Twitter and the Huffington Post lost control of some of their websites. The SEA claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Security experts said electronic records showed that NYTimes.com, the only site with an hours-long outage, redirected visitors to a server controlled by the Syrian group.
The SEA had planned to post anti-war messages on the Times site but was overwhelmed by the traffic it received and its server crashed, the SEA said by email. Late on Wednesday, some users still could not access NYTimes.com.
The SEA managed to gain control of the New York Times web address by penetrating MelbourneIT, an Australian Internet service provider that sells and manages domain names.
It could have done much worse with such access, experts said, underscoring the vulnerability of major companies that use outside providers.
"Chief information officers need to realize that critical pieces of their online entities are controlled by vendors and that security policies should apply to them as well," said Amichai Shulman, chief technology officer at security firm Imperva.

I have learned that everything the whitehouse says is usually far from the truth....with that being said:


I have a feeling that the "Syrian Electronic Army" is really composed of members of the NSA.... similar to how I also feel that members of "ANONYMOUS" are ALSO members of the NSA! Why would the Syrian Electronic Army, (if they really were in Syria) take down twitter and the New York Times? Two of the electronic organizations within America who have been exposing the NSA's secrets to not only their fellow Americans but also the world alike... Syria has no need to go after these organizations BUT NICE TRY NSA/Obama Admin!

remember when they were talking about how obama can shut down the internet in the US based on a law that HE created? well that IS true, and Obama DID in fact write up a law that gives him the power to do so....yep. He just made it up and it became law. Simple as that.

I have a feeling he is going to use the "Syrian Electronic Army" as an excuse for why our internet was taken down.... because it is only a matter of time if you ask me...Obama will go after Syria simply so he can make the internet and all communications go offline for a while.....

BARACK OBAMA

I have a feeling he is going to use the "Syrian Electronic Army" as an excuse for why our internet was taken down.... because it is only a matter of time if you ask me...Obama will go after Syria simply so he can make the internet and all communications go offline for a while....

yes!

there is plenty of evidence that the us supported rebels (al-cia duh!) were behind the chemical weapons attacks including their own admission of guilt.

Syrian rebels in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta have admitted to Associated Press correspondent Dale Gavlak that they were responsible for last week’s chemical weapons incident which western powers have blamed on Bashar Al-Assad’s forces, revealing that the casualties were the result of an accident caused by rebels mishandling chemical weapons provided to them by Saudi Arabia.

the united nations says don't do it, the european union says don't do it, china and russia in strong language says don't do it, congress says don't do it, the american people say don't do it!

o'bummer is not a complete dumb-ass. he is a complete nwo puppet of israel led cabal.

the nwo playbook stipulates externalizing and demonizing their cupability of actions on others. the twin towers ( two airplanes, three towers, do the math sheeple!) initiated general wesley clark's warning of the upcoming false flag war on terror that ensued exactly the way he predicted based on his inside intel.

Gen. Wesley Clark: Syrian Invasion Planned 10 Years in Advance

August 25th, 2013
FLASHBACK – (Youtube) – March 2007 – General Wesley Clark is former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, which granted him overall command of NATO military forces in Europe from 1997 to 2001. Clark was awarded awarded the Bronze Star, Silver Star and Purple Heart for his service in Vietnam, among numerous subsequent medals and citations. He graduated as valedictorian of his class at West Point.

what impending catastrophe looms immediately that o'bummer so desperately needs a scapegoat for?

i believe that a fiat based economy hyper-overleveraged (derivatives) economic implosion is imminent and in order for the cabal to retain sheeple subserviance they will blame it on a "syrian government banking/wall street cyber attack".

Today a former US Treasury Official shocked King World News when he warned that the U.S. would experience a total collapse. He also warned that the entire Western financial system will be brought to its knees because, unlike 1980 when he and others saved the United States from collapse, the collapse cannot be stopped this time. This is without question one of the most powerful interviews Dr. Paul Craig Roberts has ever done.

there are a lot of financial analysts say that fiat based hyper-leveraged economy getting ready to go pop (end of hyper extended financial bubble world). the g-20 summit starts in russia on tuesday. o'bummer has stated he's going but my best financial intel source (jim willie/golden jackass) says he's not going.the g-20 will officially announce to the world the end of the us$ as world reserve currency. "our currency, your problem"? not for long! america's gold supposedly stored at fort knox is long gone. if american's import 70% of what they consume and the world does not accept our federal reserve note "store coupons" posturing as money and we have no gold then what will we buy our stuff with? do you think the world will take our gmo food as trade for much longer? outside of porn, liquor, weapons, cigarettes and gmo food what do we have to trade with?

the big rude awakening for the privileged "it will never happen here" "world's greatest people from the world's greatest nation" must be blamed on the syrian government . the g-20 summit starts tuesday.

nothing else makes sense to me. this scenario does make sense.
