Americans, Everything You Do Is Monitored

It should be clear by now that Big Government's domestic surveillance policies under Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush are being furthered expanded by Mr. Obama.

When President Obama talked about a transparent administration during the run up to the 2008 election most Americans assumed he was talking about openness in government dealings. Obviously, this is not the case, as evidenced by the administration's handling of the universal health care legislation which was passed without a single American having had a chance to read it for 72 hours before a vote as the President promised would be the case with all legislation, refusal to release photographic evidence of the Osama Bin Laden raid, the President's own birth certificate which has taken two years to be made public, and the many secret meetings held with Congressional members behind closed doors.
It should be clear by now that Big Government's domestic surveillance policies under Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush are being furthered expanded by Mr. Obama. Transparency, it seems, had nothing to do with making government more visible. It did, however, have everything to do with making your like more transparent.
Before we itemize the many ways in which you're being watch, surveyed, monitored and aggregated, this latest report by Alex Thomas of The Intel Hub reiterates, yet again, that digital surveillance capabilities are not just isolated to intelligence agencies:
A lawsuit filed on Tuesday alleges that Aaron’s, a huge furniture rent to buy company, used software and a special device on their computers that enabled them to spy on PC renters.
According to the lawsuit, the company is able to track keystrokes and snap webcam pictures in the home of their customers.
Brian and Crystal Byrd, the couple who filed the lawsuit, claim that they were never told about these intrusive spying measures.
While computer privacy experts agree that Aaron’s has the right to install devices that enable them to shut down the computers remotely, customers must be told that they are being monitored.
The couple only found out about the spying after an Aaron’s employee showed them a picture of Brian Byrd that was taken remotely while the Byrds were in their home.
“After they showed us the picture, I, of course, felt violated,” Crystal Byrd said in an interview Monday. “There are many times I sat in front of that computer with barely nothing on. So I didn’t know if they had taken lots of pictures of us or what,” reported the Wyoming Tribune.
Brian Byrd also reported that he thinks the picture was shown to him in order to intimidate him into an easy repossession.

While we often hear protests from privacy advocates about government intrusion into the lives of Americans, what many fail to understand is that it's not just the government. Private businesses like Aaron's, as well as large corporate conglomerates, are themselves engaging in the surveillance of Americans with the development of products and services specifically for this purpose – and often without the consent of their customers, or, through terms of services agreements that include dozens of pages of unintelligible fine print.
As modern technology continues to advance at breakneck speeds, just as the merger of the corporations and the state are occurring within political circles, so to are they becoming more prevalent in the intelligence sphere.
Fellow Americans, everything you do is being monitored.
With respect to the government, it's not by choice. However, when dealing with private businesses, we have readily accepted our own fate by accepting into our lives the very technologies that make it all possible.

FDA claims power to seize food without evidence of contamination

Rady Ananda, Contributing Writer 
Activist Post

A few hours ago, the Food and Drug Administration declared it no longer needs credible evidence to seize food that may be contaminated. Ignoring the Fourth Amendment entirely, the FDA claims that based on mere suspicion that a food product has been contaminated or mislabeled, and that serious illness or death will result, it can hold the food for 30 days while it then looks for evidence. It claims this power under the Food Safety Modernization Act, which President Monsanto, I mean, Obama, signed in January.

On May 4th, the FDA stated:
Previously, the FDA’s ability to detain food products applied only when the agency had credible evidence that a food product presented was contaminated or mislabeled in a way that presented a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.
Beginning July, the FDA will be able to detain food products that it has reason to believe are adulterated or misbranded for up to 30 days, if needed, to ensure they are kept out of the marketplace. The products will be kept out of the marketplace while the agency determines whether an enforcement action such as seizure or federal injunction against distribution of the product in commerce, is necessary.
Credible evidence no longer applies, it seems.

The Fourth Amendment states:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

A story from March 25, 2011 by Christopher Hope, Robert Winnett, Holly Watt and Heidi Blake for the Telegraph hints at what we might have to look forward to now that Osama is fish food:
Al-Qaeda terrorists have threatened to unleash a “nuclear hellstorm” on the West if Osama Bin Laden is caught or assassinated, according to documents to be released by the WikiLeaks website, which contain details of the interrogations of more than 700 Guantanamo detainees…
A senior Al-Qaeda commander claimed that the terrorist group has hidden a nuclear bomb in Europe which will be detonated if Bin-Laden is ever caught or assassinated. The US authorities uncovered numerous attempts by Al-Qaeda to obtain nuclear materials and fear that terrorists have already bought uranium. Sheikh Mohammed told interrogators that Al-Qaeda would unleash a “nuclear hellstorm”…

IMAM VOWS REVENGE Against 'Western Dogs' for BIN LADEN Death

It appears that the recent reports from the White House and the Mainstream media lauding the death of Bin laden has not only fooled the average media brain-washed citizen in the Western world, but those of the Middle East as well. While a good majority of people around the world are questioning the reports coming from the White House, there are some who have chosen to believe the report. In this video, an Imam vows revenge against the "western dogs" for the death of Bin laden on May 1, 2011.

Of course over the last 10yrs, reports have come out declaring Bin Laden's death approximately 9 times. It was also reported by Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benizir Bhutto, in an interview with David Frost in a BBC news report back in 2007.




Ron Paul's Call For Afghanistan Withdrawal Draws Cheers At Fox News GOP Debate



Huffington Post
May 5, 2011

WASHINGTON -- With the death of Osama bin Laden dominating the news cycle and captivating the public this week, the five Republican presidential hopefuls who showed in South Carolina Thursday for the Fox News debate were asked to explain their position on the war in Afghanistan.

Fox News host Brett Baier brought up the issue in one of the first questions of the night, asking former senator Rick Santorum about his claim that President Obama has made America less safe.

"When it comes to going after terrorists, for example, drone attacks in Pakistan have more than tripled under President Obama. He just sent 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan last year, and he just authorized, as we talked about, this mission to kill bin Laden. How much more aggressive could he be?" asked Baier.

Santorum replied that when Obama has done well on foreign policy, it's been because he has continued President George W. Bush's policies, such as "keeping Gitmo open" and "trying to win in Afghanistan." In recent days, many Republicans have rushed to embrace the former president, a man barely mentioned during the last election cycle.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.), however, received the first applause of the night when he forcefully called for withdrawal:
[Bin Laden] wasn't caught in Afghanistan. Nation-building in Afghanistan and telling those people how to live and getting involved in running their country hardly had anything to do with finding the information where he was being held in a country that we give billions of dollars of foreign aid to, at the same time we are bombing that country. So it's the policy that is at fault. Not having the troops in Afghanistan wouldn't have hurt. We went to Afghanistan to get him, and he hasn't been there. Now that he's killed, boy, it is a wonderful time for this country now to reassess it, get the troops out of Afghanistan and end that war that hasn't helped us and hasn't helped anybody in the Middle East.

Bin Laden: When the Lie Becomes the Truth

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Prisonplanet.com
May 5, 2011


The US government’s bin Laden story was so poorly crafted that it did not last 48 hours before being fundamentally altered. Indeed, the new story put out on Tuesday by White House press secretary Jay Carney bears little resemblance to the original Sunday evening story. The fierce firefight did not occur. Osama bin Laden did not hide behind a woman. Indeed, bin Laden, Carney said, “was not armed.”
The firefight story was instantly suspicious as not a single SEAL got a scratch, despite being up against al Qaeda, described by former Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld as ‘the most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the earth.”
http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=43817

Every original story detail has been changed. It wasn’t bin Laden’s wife who was murdered by the Navy SEALs , but the wife of an aide. It wasn’t bin Laden’s son, Khalid, who was murdered by the Navy SEALs, but son Hamza.

Carney blamed the changed story on “the fog of war.” But there was no firefight, so where did the “fog of war” come from?

The White House has also had to abandon the story that President Obama and his national security team watched tensely as events unfolded in real time (despite the White House having released photos of the team watching tensely), with the operation conveyed into the White House by cameras on the SEALs helmets. If Obama was watching the event as it happened, he would have noticed, one would hope, that there was no firefight and, thus, would not have told the public that bin Laden was killed in a firefight. Another reason the story had to be abandoned is that if the event was captured on video, every news service in the world would be asking for the video, but if the event was orchestrated theater, there would be no video.

No explanation has been provided for why an unarmed bin Laden, in the absence of a firefight, was murdered by the SEALs with a shot to the head. For those who believe the government’s story that “we got bin Laden,” the operation can only appear as the most botched operation in history. What kind of incompetence does it require to senselessly and needlessly kill the most valuable intelligence asset on the planet?

Top Government Insider: Bin Laden Died In 2001, 9/11 A False Flag

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations Steve R. Pieczenik says he is prepared to tell a federal grand jury the name of a top general who told him directly 9/11 was a false flag attack

Top US Government Insider: Bin Laden Died In 2001, 9/11 A False Flag 040511top

Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.

Recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Management, Pieczenik went on to develop, “the basic tenets for psychological warfare, counter terrorism, strategy and tactics for transcultural negotiations for the US State Department, military and intelligence communities and other agencies of the US Government,” while also developing foundational strategies for hostage rescue that were later employed around the world.

Pieczenik also served as a senior policy planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker and worked on George W. Bush’s election campaign against Al Gore. His record underscores the fact that he is one of the most deeply connected men in intelligence circles over the past three decades plus.

The character of Jack Ryan, who appears in many Tom Clancy novels and was also played by Harrison Ford in the popular 1992 movie Patriot Games, is also based on Steve Pieczenik.

Back in April 2002, over nine years ago, Pieczenik told the Alex Jones Show that Bin Laden had already been “dead for months,” and that the government was waiting for the most politically expedient time to roll out his corpse. Pieczenik would be in a position to know, having personally met Bin Laden and worked with him during the proxy war against the Soviets in Afghanistan back in the early 80′s.

Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001, “Not because special forces had killed him, but because as a physician I had known that the CIA physicians had treated him and it was on the intelligence roster that he had marfan syndrome,” adding that the US government knew Bin Laden was dead before they invaded Afghanistan.

Osama Bin Laden : Dead again?

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
May 2, 2011

I must say that The White House gang must be desparate to bring up Obama's popularity in preparation for the coming elections. Last week they decided to pass off a fake birth certificate, and this week they decide to try and pass off a fake photo of a dead Bin Laden.

It was reported on Television last night that Osama Bin Laden was killed in a shoot out with Navy Seals in Pakistan. Instead of bringing the remains back to the U.S. to be verified by DNA testing and such, we then decided to feed him to the fishes so to speak by burying him at sea!

This report is convenient for the White House that so far has not brought about change, but instead a continuation of the same policies as the administrations before them. escalating unemployment, rising gas and food prices, mounting debt, and several conflicts in the Middle East are what Obama and his gang have given us as "hope and change".

As a friend of mine told me this morning, he believes with the debt mounting, and the announcement by "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke that there will not be a QE3, the United States military industrial machine will be forced to pull out of Iraq, and possibly other parts of the Middle East. Having Bin Laden suddenly show up dead gives the White House the excuse to withdraw without telling the world we are broke and cannot sustain our military machine abroad much longer. I don't know if this is the real reason, but it could be part of the many reasons, at least, for revealing the death of Bin Laden at this time.

It will also be a bullet point in the next elections for Obama. He will be looked upon as fighting the Republicans, and the Tea Partiers along with the birthers and proving them to be nutcases when he revealed his not so clever forgery of a birth certificate, and now he can say he also killed Osama Bin Laden on his watch!

I want you to watch the video below. I made this video on October 3, 2010. In it I show proof that Osama has been dead since 2001.

Red Alert: Government Had Osama bin Laden Frozen for Years

Kurt Nimmo and Alex Jones
Infowars.com
May 1, 2011

CNN and the corporate media report this evening that purported CIA asset Osama bin Laden has been killed by the U.S. military in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members.



In an address to the nation, Obama said he ordered the strike that allegedly killed Osama. The remainder of his speech followed the standard war on terror propaganda script.
A small team of Americans killed bin Laden in a firefight at a compound in Pakistan, the president said in a dramatic late-night statement at the White House, the Associated Press reported following Obama’s address.

Obama said the military took custody of his remains. It remains to be seen if the government will attempt to provide evidence that the remains are indeed those of Osama bin Laden.

“The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done,” said former president Bush. In 2006, Bush admitted that capturing Osama was not a top priority.



In February, 2004, Iranian state radio claimed Osama bin Laden had been captured in Pakistan’s border region with Afghanistan “a long time ago.” Pentagon and Pakistani officials denied the report. “Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election,” the radio report said.

Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure soon after the September 11, 2001, attacks. In 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said bin Laden had kidney disease, and that he had required a dialysis machine when he lived in Afghanistan. That same year, the FBI’s top counterterrorism official, Dale Watson, said, “I personally think he is probably not with us anymore.”

A Taliban leader told the Pakistan Observer on December 21, 2002, that Bin Laden was suffering from a serious lung complication and died in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief, according to Fox News.

Alex Jones was told live on the radio in 2002 by high-level Council on Foreign Relations members that Osama Bin Laden had died of kidney failure in early 2002.

“I have it from high level [sources] from inside the Bush administration…that bin Laden died of natural causes and that his family has given the body to the CIA, that they’re gonna roll him out right before the election, that he’s on ice right now. They will claim they killed him right before the election,” Alex said at the time.
“Jones gave a caution that the intelligence could be disinformation but claimed that his base in Austin was extremely close to the Bush administration and similar information received in the past had been credible,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote in August of 2002.

During the 2004 election, CNN reported that Democratic insiders had been told that George W. Bush was going to use the Bin Laden body as an ace-in-the-hole if he thought he was in danger of losing the 2004 election. This confirmed the evidence that Jones had been given by the CFR and others.
In 2003, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told Fox News Channel analyst Morton Kondracke she suspected Bush knew the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and was waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.



Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a suicide attack at the end of 2007, stated that Osama bin Laden had been killed by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a man convicted of kidnapping and killing journalist Daniel Pearl.



Obama’s announcement follows the release of a highly suspicious birth certificate last week. Both events represent psychological operations that possibly portend more significant events in the days ahead as the U.S. dollar continues to lose its reserve status, the economy fails to recover as promised, and wars expand in Libya, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Obama’s propaganda stunt arrives as the Democrats kick off their leader’s presidential reelection bid against a number of Republicans contenders who have been highly critical of not only his perceived handling of the economy, but also his management of the manufactured war on terror.

Michele Bachman against Raising Debt Ceiling

"The music is about to end. This game is going to be over," Bachmann said on "Fox News Sunday" about the pace of spending in Washington.
May 1, 2011

Rep. Michele Bachmann on Sunday disputed the claim that the country would go into default if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling in the coming weeks. 

The Minnesota Republican has been one of the most forceful voices on Capitol Hill against lifting the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling. The Obama administration has warned repeatedly that a failure to lift the cap would have dire economic consequences, potentially raising interest rates on the debt and interest rates on loans for everyday Americans while bringing the country's creditworthiness into serious question. 

Bachmann, though, said she's not pushing for default. She said the Treasury Department should be able to rearrange its finances to make debt payments first.

"The music is about to end. This game is going to be over," Bachmann said on "Fox News Sunday" about the pace of spending in Washington. 

Bachmann said she failed to see how once again raising the debt limit would show the world the country is more creditworthy. 

"We can't live that way," she said. 

Though the Treasury Department has said it can only hold off default for so long without a debt ceiling increase, Bachmann said: "That's not true." She said the government should be able to prioritize spending and avoid that outcome. 

"Who's advocating defaulting? I'm not. Nobody's advocating defaulting," Bachmann said.
The conservative congresswoman is thought to harbor presidential aspirations. She said she'll announce her intentions in June. 

Max Keiser : America's Cult of blindness



SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
May 1, 2011

As Americans  fixate themselves with royal weddings, pop icons, and other trivial distractions,  most of them seem to be unaware of the severity of the overall U.S. financial crisis.

Max Keiser  certainly is aware however, and sheds light upon the truth behind America's imminent decline. The IMF has recently dropped a "bombshell" in a Marketwatch.com report saying:
"China's economy will surpass that of America in real terms in 2016."
Max Keiser explains that the average American is in a "cult" of blindness to the crisis unfolding around them. The mainstream media as well as the White house teleprompter continue to dispell a venomous potion of "recovery and growth" that appears to be keeping Americans from facing the grim reality coming upon our once great nation.

Max believes that the United States will acknowledge China's emergence by handing over ownership of Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac to the People's Bank of China. He says that although most close their eyes to this fact, the transferal has already begun to take place. The reason for the blindness, he says is:

"..because it might upset the popular delusion in the madness of crowds driving attendance at the theme park-like assemlyline of self-actualizing, can do attitude that has given us such triumphs in popular culture as Idiocracy and Jackass."
The analogy he uses is that of a cult where its members may follow blindly, without questioning the leader or the motives of the movement itself. Those in the cult mentality will either not see the true derangement of their situation, or they will simply refuse to accept the reality of their delimna until it is usually too late for them.

While the S&P was putting the U.S. Credit on "Negative Watch", the Dow closed at three year highs. Max explains this financial feat by saying:
" Well most of the volume on the exchange, the S&P 500 to Dow Jones, as we've talked about... is driven by robots. By... high frequency trading bots, courtesy of folks like Goldman Sachs. ...Goldman Sachs has servers parked next to the exchange, and they put in millions of trades every single day. They steal a hundred million dollars on average per day, and this is keeping the prices artificially high, like Wile E. Coyote, shortly before he plumets down into the canyon, in his quest to capture the Road-Runner."
He states that in this case however, "the Road -Runner is being eaten by China, and America is plumeting to its death, into the canyon of  Never-Neverland."

The program goes on to show in news headline after headline how  that there are still several of those who  have faith in the dollar and the "recovery" simply because they are brainwashed with the cult message being put out by the mainstream media and White House propaganda. It quotes an article titled The Economic Abyss, which said:
Over the past few years, mainstream analysts have shown a tenacious blind faith in the U.S. economy and the dollar that goes far beyond religion to the point of mindless cultism.
We as Americans have been indoctrinated by the media, educational institutions, and government to believe that our financial prosperity is assured ad infinitum. Of course there are those who have never fallen into the trance, and then there are some who have awakened to the reality that their belief and faith in this delusion was just that - an illusion. The dangerous part of all this is the fact that the cult has a growing membership as people are pulled in by the lies given as promises and assurances of hope and security through a jobless, debt-ridden recovery!

Max states that the emergence of the White House with Wall Street is even more insidious than fascism.
"Here we've got three hundred million Americans who are worshipping this idea of American style freemarket capitalism that doesn't exist, they support market manipulation on Wall Street, and they're all going to die as a result. Now that's less than 5% of the world's population - it is 25% of the woirld's garbage -so the rest of the world will breath a sigh of relief, but, as far as those living on the inside, they don't really understand that they are being used as cult fodder."
Banks around the world have been extending debt, which Max compares to the tide which goes out from a shore, and then washes back in as a tsunami taking everything in its path. Unfortunately, for those with the cult mentality of recovery and growth, they are the ones who are gullible enough to stand ashore gathering seashells while the tsunami of austerity and taxes crush them.  Recently the IMF stated that the world's banks now face a $3.6trillion dollar wall of maturing debt within the next two years, and these banks will have to compete with governments that are also debt heavy, in order to secure financing.

Max goes on to state his belief that, as a result, a world currency is soon to hit the world stage with SDRs, ran by the IMF and World Bank, and that people will be paying world, country, state and local taxes to a Global Central Bank ran from somewhere in Europe. Many Nations around the world as well as financial institutions are dumping the USD for hard assets and commodities such as silver and gold. Max argues that gold and silver have presently become a "defacto world currency" now that fiat currencies are being pushed aside as a Keynesian failure.

As the economic collapse unfolds, I believe it is a duty for those not in the cult, to awaken those still entranced by educating, and being active in your local political processes, as well as preparing your home for the tsunami coming soon.
