Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Collected Your Data & Shared It While You Were Distracted
Freedom Outpost ^ | June 28, 2013 | Suzanne Hamner

Well America, it has continued to get piled higher and deeper. There was Benghazi – but wait, Congress doesn’t have time to fully investigate to find individuals responsible and hold them accountable; so, it’s swept under the rug. Congress can’t deal with Fast and Furious effectively; it goes the way of the dust on top of the door jamb: you know it’s there but can’t see it so forget about it.

While the immigration bill, the Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and the racially charged Zimmerman case had the focus of a majority of Americans, their personal financial information was being collected in secret in a data program run by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and shared with private contractors, according to a report from The Daily Caller.

The Daily Caller reported:

Documents obtained by Washington-based Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act illustrate the cost and scope of the program, which some business groups and some Republican lawmakers have assailed as invasive and potentially illegal.

Argus Information and Advisory Services, one company involved, was reported to have been paid $2.9 million last year to perform such tasks, with a total payout in 2017 to reach $15 million. Experian, another information services group, was tasked with compiling a nationally representative panel of credit information on consumers from a national database of credit files. What does this consist of? Who gets it? What do they do with it?

The panel will include the contents of 5 million consumer accounts along with their credit score, age, postal code, and date of birth; contain approximately 10 years’ worth of individual consumer information and will add new credit files from the CFPB’s expanding nationwide database.

All I can say is if American is not boiling mad at this point, I don’t know what it’s going to take.

In all the hubbub about the intrusion into/collecting of our private lives, I have not yet heard ANY one, either in the media or on FR - link in the Smart Meter collecting of our every move INSIDE our homes and the ability for “The Masters” to control our power usage - they can read the electrical signatures of EVERYthing we use They know what kind of hair dryer(s) are used and when and for how long - ditto on every appliance.

They know if you're using the gov’t ordered light bulbs or ‘black market’ bulbs - etc etc.

They can turn off your furnace - can ration use, etc.

It has NOTHING to do with ‘teaching’ you how to conserve energy. That can be done by simply looking at your end of month bill and sending out the energy use charts that gives you the info on different appliances - they could give you energy use ‘allowance, based on number of people in house, etc. They have NOTHING to do with their stated purpose of ‘helping’ us. But y'all swallow the tripe.

First they said: “ low flush” and y'all dutifully complied (and now flush twice.) That having worked, they pushed the little mercury bombs, aka light bulbs, - and y'all filled your houses with super toxic bulbs.

That being successful, They installed the SMART METERS - and y'all said ‘Sure!” And now you're every power use is being recorded: When did you take a shower and for how long.

The SHEEPLE obeyed.

So then came the TSA molesters. Here y'all protested - for awhile. But now y'all have calmed down and accepted it.

Here come the cattle cars. Enjoy the ride.

A couple links below for those who can't/don't bother to do a little research on your own. There are a plethora of links - but I'll just give two - one for a simple rundown on Smart Meters - and lt’s not even get into the radiation part of it - and one for you tech savvy folk. (Got an electric toothbrush? Big Brother knows you do...knows the brand...knows how often and how long you brush your teeth. Enjoy the Utopia you allowed while watching “Idol” and “Dancing”. (Am I ruffling your feathers? Tough S***. The LAISSEZ-FAIRE of the SHEEPLE has brought this down on ALL our heads.)

and BTW - “Y’all” do know that, amoung a plethora of other totally non-health related data that will be collected through ‘bummerCare is total access to all your bank accounts? (And they can freeze/confistacate funds at will)

Sure ya did.

That barn door has been blown off the hinges. Too late to wake up now.

Go ahead and object. Big Daddy has no plans to help/encourage new medical students toward the thousands of new doctors needed to take on the 40+ million new people covered by ‘bummerCare. Instead, they’ve hired tens of thousands of new IRS agents to make sure you ‘comply, citizen.’

Oh, and yes, they’ve bought them assault rifles to? ‘Wonder why?

Dress warm. Those cattle cars aren’t heated.

If you’re not informed on the above - search for your own links. The information is available - has been from the get go.
