The WSJ is reporting that in addition to monitoring cell phone records, emails and web activity, the National Security Agency is monitoring credit card transactions. "NSA has established similar relationships with credit-card companies, three former officials said."

I have a hard time believing they "couldn't" stop them. They were looking to not let a good crisis go to waste.
That is very much the truth. Frees up considerable memory, too. I have some very old laptops -- oldest is 1999 -- that I keep running using Linux just as a hobby. Without ad blockers, script blockers, do-not-track add-ons they would be pretty useless for browsing most commercial websites. With the blockers they are still slow, obviously, but quite usable.
No where near sufficient once they are interested in you. There is the MAC address -- 'Hey, Frank, max americana just connected to the Starbucks wifi at 45th and Main', not to mention various statistical profiling techniques -- such as identifying you by the homepage tabs you load, or identifying when you log in at somewhere like FR and then tracing back the connection, or even having tracking software surreptitiously loaded on your machine.
Um, the police state is the goal. Importing and financing terrorists is just one of the methods being used to achieve it.
then that would be a good argument that 9/11 was an inside job.
Maybe they just mistakenly intercepted peoples credit card transactions. sarc/
<....”not to buy ANYTHING on line..use cash...and stay local”....>
Indeed...
However, if you have a bank account/charge card they can access your information there....hackers have done so. Not to mention if you’ve been to a Dr. or Hospital. They always ask for your social security no.
But I figure the less info out there about me the better overall...so cash is king at this point for me.
Tea Party types are their enemies.
The Tsarnaev brothers are their allies.
go into a Walmart now, and even if your 70 years old...they want your id to buy a bottle of wine...they then punch in your birthdate, along with your credit/debit card if you happened to use one...a few years from now...during your “death panel” interview...heh dude/dudette...you been drinkin to much...
My father died serving when I was just four years old....men like you took his place....and then my two sons served this nation as well. So no ..your time was not even close to wasted.
It seems almost like a coup d'etate,as Rush has even mentioned, and i can agree with. This is all an inside job and likely linked with the Globalist Agenda to control the people once they have their Governance in place.
<....”it is about controlling us”....>
Which begs the question..what for??? and needs to be answered.
We get so caught up in what the administration is doing here in the US that we loose the International Picture of the Globalist Agenda.
They are NOT going to close the borders as the plan is to unite Canada the US and Mexico into a unified trading block...the Pipe Line comes into that equation as well...though they present it as a jobs creation etc....it really is about Texas building their Gulf Ports and the City spanning them and Mexico. etc. etc. etc.
It’s all about positioning leadership and the parties who will continue with the global plan...most of our congress is on board...and why they do little for the man on the street...they’re playing their hand, using our money and resources, on the larger global “chessboard”.
My brother was on board with computers when the first ones were released...I think using DOS..but I am really ignorant of computer lingo. At any rate he has computers still running that are old as well...and loves them. He’s always complaining what a “dog” Microsoft is and Interenet Explorer...as well as others.
Almost 1,500 trackers blocked by Abine so far....in just four or five days....and amazing how much better my computer operates.things have gotten much better since I’m using that to block this cude.
Thank you kindly for the comments. I, of course, am humbled each time someone comes up to me and thanks me. I have a US Army Retired stickers on my SUV’s rear windows. A few months back I had a man walk across the parking lot of the mall, come several hundred feet just to say thank you for my service. It is hard to find words for people’s kindness for things like that. It has just gotten to the point, when you see the slugs that run our Republic now, who are trying to give our freedoms away, opening our borders to our enemies, forcing things upon us that the majority do not want, IE Obamacare, and you think “this is what I served for?” Just eats you up in side to have individuals such as those inside the beltway, doing what they are doing, and nearly half of the nation approve of their scummy actions. Just does things that makes me shake my head and want to cry.
Just ask the checkout person for their card. The cashiers at the Grocery stores usually have one at the register.
Well we are a grateful nation of citizens when it comes to our military and veterans.
When you begin to shake your head...for a moment think of tour soldiers today and how they have their hands tied from doing their job. Imagine what they must feel being in the field...and knowing this crap is happening back home as well.
Thank you again for serving...and do not let this administration get to you....we are still at war...so continue to fight the good fight here on the home front.
Clearly the seamanship among FReepers is sorely lacking.
At a certain level, it is probably a good thing that they can track the fact that large numbers of freedom-loving Americans are well-supplied. Keeps them slightly more honest.
Supermarket/department/drug store/office supply store loyalty cards. Track your purchases tagged to your name so kathleen sub-eel-ee-us can know if we are eating healthy or not. Charge more for you new improved health plan? Nah. They would never stoop that low. LOL!
That info was a weapon that was sitting ready for use.
Now that there have been gauntlets thrown down by 0, the weapon has been picked up by the other side.
#NSAcalledtotellme I need to stock up on more Hash, Beef Stew and #SweetBabyRays so they know where to forage during the #ZombiePocalypse
