We Are This Far From A Turnkey Totalitarian State (Must Read - The NSA's Secret Utah Data Center)

George Orwell was right. He was just 30 years early.

In its April cover story, Wired has an exclusive report on the NSA's Utah Data Center, which is a must read for anyone who believes any privacy is still a possibility in the United States: [mod note, Wired content is not allowed on FR]

Instead it chose to put the wiretapping rooms at key junction points throughout the country—large, windowless buildings known as switches—thus gaining access to not just international communications but also to most of the domestic traffic flowing through the US.

This is plain silly. I worked for 12 years at one of those junction switch sites and there are no "wiretapping rooms" in the building but the fact is, a special room is not needed. A broadband digital signal is transmitted with diversity paths in expectation that if one of the signal paths is impaired, the other will arrive at the distant mode intact and usable. It is a simple step to parallel another signal within the switch and route it to a remote location for storage and retrieval. The technicians that work at the site do not even need to know it has been done. Very few Verizon, AT&T or Sprint personnel would need to know. The switching hardware manufacturers would only be aware that a capability exists to copy and retransmit a signal to a remote node different from the primary node.

Finally. someone who put a list of bass turn programs that are enabling the super and supra state.

I gave a disortation on this at Laz’s thread.

did liberal or leftists get audited enmasse during the Bush years?....did their non profits get held up for years because of their leftist leanings?....did any of them every get asked what prayers they say?....did any leftist Christian churches get the rubber glove treatment?...have infiltrators watching?....

No, you're right. But that's not the part of the act the Repubs play. When they're in office, they are staunch defenders of America and build the capabilities into the government with the happy support of conservatives who never suspect the machinery would be turned on them. Then, when Dems get in office, they use the machinery.

Eyewatcher, Magic Lantern and V-Chip should be on your list as well.

Yeah, yeah, but who won on Dance with the Stars?? And did you see how big Kim Kardashian’s baby bump is? How sbout them Yankees?

Something I posted a earlier today on another thread along the lines of 1984 and where I believe this is leading us,

evil times have arrived:

---

As was shown to Daniel, God uses the imagery of beasts to describe governments (kings/kingdoms) in reference to the succeeding world powers that would come after Nebuchadnezzar.

“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand on the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.” (Babylon) Daniel 7:4

We the people, elect and bring into power those we feel are aligned with our own beliefs, a mans heart was given to it = Democracy

“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Daniel 7:8

Antichrist is a spirit (and was already at work in Johns day) and its this spirit which empowers the “little horn” at the time of end where its also given that it can “see” like a man,

Its only been within the last two decades, with the dramatic increase and widespread availability of new technologies, communication satellites, cell towers, personal computers and now global (Tower of Babel) internet connectivity, smart phones, webcams etc., that the individual activities of law abiding free citizens everywhere on the Earth are increasingly being watched, we’ve become a surveillance society, where our every move, purchase, credit transaction, web pages visited, blog postings, opinions, habits and political affiliations along with anything else they want to know about us can be monitored, tracked, indexed and stored away until those in power need it to “protect” (oppress) us,

Its this information for which they now have the “eyes” to see, that will forever (going forward) empower those in positions of influence and will be used to hinder or give pause to anyone on the outside of this power structure having never broken any law, to even consider public service or to seek political office or promote any voice that fails to espouse politically acceptable ‘safe’ views, whereby it necessarily follows that freedom dies with it and their advantage is ever increasing,

This is not how its always been, this is not how its been even for that long of a time,

But they want us to assume its “normal” knowing that any society for which its every collective thought is consumed with finding ways to bring themselves more entertainment, joy and self-gratification, they know will eventually shrug and give up their freedom and privacy when their comfortable existence is threatened. They just need appropriate events to be adequately exploited along the way to strengthen their hold,

This is the spirit of antichrist at work,

Its “the eyes of a man,”

And its this type of spirit that is increasingly rising in power when the end of the age comes and just before Jesus bodily returns to this Earth,

“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22

There will come Ten kings which have no power until the time of the end,

“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:8-14

If I didn’t know that God is on His throne and is in control, and that everything is going according to His plan and purpose as He has revealed to mankind in the Bible, I would be fearful and hopeless. But my hope, the anchor of my soul, is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life, and no man comes to God but through Him.

P R E A C H!

Yep, the hilarious part was looking at satellite dishes and hearing Morse in the background. Pretty good Morse though, obviously machine sent.

It was not Morse code. It was radioteletype tones. It was still pretty funny because that is old technology also, but not near as old as ditty boppin morse code. The Automated Teletype paper tape is read and sent from a Transmitter Distributor attached to the TTY and then received and printed by a Reperforator. It is actually Frequency Shift Keying of Baudot Code riding a Clear Wave signal. Our military used the TTY's in torn tape relay centers. Back in my day we had advanced to using 12 or 24 channel tone packs around the world. We still monitored UPI and AP feeds this old way on our Collins R390 radio with CV89 FSK Converter and just for kicks (and training) we would dial up the Indian Government propaganda signal that ran a teletype feed on HF radio 7x24x365.

[justa-hairyape]

Precisely what I thought. They store everything because the filtration process is too much work. So every communication from every politically elected legislature has been stored. And the traitor who fled to china is worried about his family. He obviously needed some insurance from a drone attack also. So he obviously sat at a terminal and downloaded everything on key US elected officials. If you assume he is a traitor, you have to assume he did that.

[higgmeister]

Come to think of it, it could have been the Radio telemetry channel monitor on the satellite uplink. Are there any Satty Bird guys out there to confirm that? I only hand cranked a satellite track a couple of times by watching the signal strength meter just to help the satellite tech while he was troubleshooting the tracking problem and don't remember listening to the telemetry signal.

[rdb3]

I do too.

I saw on HackADay where a guy modified his R390 to also transmit...a pretty cool hack :-)

http://hackaday.com/2013/06/06/hacking-the-r-390a-military-shortwave-radio-receiver-to-transmit-as-well/

I still use morse a lot in embedded systems I build. It's fast enough for data in many instances and dang it I just like using the nostalgic old workhorse. Plus, I can debug by just listening...it's cool :-) something like I2C is VERY hard to decode by ear .. lol

[Bobalu]

There used to be a morse ID constantly transmitted on an audio sub carrier on C band transponders...not sure if they still are. I used that once to detect if a rotor I made had properly moved to point at the proper satellite.

where is Tron when you need him...

Enemy of the State trivia

Mistake During the brief occasional shots of the satellite you can hear Morse code. The code translates as CQ, which is amateur radio speak for ‘is anybody there?’ - hardly spy stuff.

I know the difference in Morse, Badot TTY and ASCII sent through an AFSK modulator. In the movie the background Morse was "CQ". My first TTY was a Model 19, later a model 32 Teletype. I even had a Kleinschmidt, but it never worked very well.

I ran a Navy MARS station out of my home for 19 years. Handled health & welfare traffic for the Navy and Marine Corps. Hold an Amateur Extra and GROL License

My first TTY demodulator was a homebrew tube type Twin Cities beast. Went from that to a Flesher TU-170 RTTY Terminal Unit, a very fine piece of equipment. Then I bought a Robot 800 keyboard, it operated Badot, ASCII and Morse. I still think the Flesher TU was superior in performance. I built a couple of totally homebrew Terminal Units, one was a PLL unit (performed poorly) and the other was a slicer type TU and was close to the Flesher in weak signal performance. I still have one of the AFSK boards that I brewed up. It is a beauty, I did the layout and etched the board, scrounged the parts and wired it. Very nice little unit.

[Texas Fossil]

The Morse was “CQ”. Whoever wrote the script was probably a Ham poking fun at the non-Hams.

Having scrounged for money for Navy project change orders, I can’t help but wonder where the appropriated funds came from.
