Should there be a ping "list" or group for "GoldmanSachs;"free trade";HeidiandTed" posts? I've posted a lot of intel about the past of Ted and Heidi. Heidi is involved up to her eyeballs in TPP, "free trade agreements", North American Union, BANKSTERS (what did she advise the White House about TARP when she was an adviser; remember her banking career started with JP Morgan 15 years ago), globalism, World Bank, UN, etc. The size and scope of the Cruz involvement in borderless world, millions of H1-B visas, million dollar unreported "loans" from NY Banks including Heidi's employer...

At the very least there's a huge conflict of interest here. What Ted SAYS is in total CONFLICT with what Heidi does and has done (involvement with Robert Zoellick, Robert Paster). There's no way to reconcile it, assuming Ted is truthful about his beliefs---he and Heidi are 180 degrees apart.

You installed an app that gathers that information and sends it to them, you may not have read the fine print when you installed the app, but you did do it. I know very well the difference and that anyone who thinks they have privacy and owns a smart phone and has ever installed an app they did not write themselves on it, they are naive and foolish.

The reason they can gather this information is because cell phone owners willingly installed apps that collect this information. App knows their GPS because they let the app get it.. App sends information to a server because they let it access the Internet.

As I said they have this information because the cell phone owners put apps on their phone and granted those apps permissions to do things.. People are completely ignorant.

If you want to become seriously pissed, find a re-run of last night's Stossel show on High Tech. See what Cruz is doing.

I watched and thought,: "Obama/Cruz... any method to winning! First term Senators who think running for President is part of an elected first-term Senator's full-time job. forget about those people who expect a Senator to show up and do his job!

click to view it (about 7 minutes)

“Can you provide a brief summary? Do not know if those shows are available”

I looked at Fox Business and Stossel’s site for a video of the show but didn’t find it. They may wait a day or two before posting — if they do post. Or it might be there and I just couldn’t find it. The following link touches on what was on the show. It’s all good, but starts to get creepy around 3:35

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nd_2Borlus

The Cruz folks were going door to door using their smart phones (GPS, I assume) to guide them. The phone told them at which houses to stop, and they zombie-walked up to the doors.

They knew who lived there and the names of all voting age residents. (Maybe kids’ names, too; I don’t know.) Data they had mined told them what they had purchased, even down to a specific resident in some cases — not just the household. From that, they knew exactly what buzzwords to use when speaking to each person and called up a script on the smart phone to parrot. For instance, if hunting equipment had been bought by the father, the scripts would use the words, “anger, carpet-bomb”, etc.

There was more. It actually scared the crap out of me. I guess it’s legal...? To me it’s an invasion of privacy and I object to being manipulated because I’ve been spied on.

I wish the video of the show were available before voting tomorrow as it’s quite informative.

Sad that these Senators are getting paid as Senators while they are running around the country campaigning and ignoring their job.

The video you posted is good, but it isn’t what was on his show last night. It touches on it, but there were so many details in the show.

Sorry! I watched the Fox segment last night, and went to YouTube to find it. I did not watch again, as I just now took my blood pressure meds! Will look again later, but as of now, it is not of FoxNews or YouTube.

Cesar Conda was a new name to me...

this is what I found when I searched him...

Rubio chief of staff in 2013 article/blog:

Conda was also involved with Paul Ryan according to this blog:

He is a packaged Ivy league lawyer like the one in the outhouse now.

Wasn’t that one of the most disturbing things you’ve seen during the campaign — or maybe ever? We were so upset!

With things that change on the fly today, that’s not as easy as it used to be.

Found it, finally!

Here is the Stossel segment that aired Sunday evening and explains Cruz's/Obama's path to winning. Scary, but interesting! Click the pic! MUST SEE!

Great — is that the whole Cruz segment of the show, or just the 8-minute video that was being passed around yesterday?
