They are Watching Us -- All the Time
American Thinker.com ^ | June 19, 2019 | William L. Gensert

During the Obama presidency, Americans discovered that his administration’s intelligence agencies were spying on us. In fact, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied to Congress about it, for which he was never charged -- but then, he’s a Democrat, the laws don’t apply to them.

Eventually, he came clean, admitting that all Americans were being spied on, all the time, with spy agencies keeping a record of all phone conversations, texts, and emails made by every American. This was merely a precaution in case they ever needed to prosecute any of those who disagreed with Barry.

Yet, I believe that the tech industry not only does the same thing (spying) but does it better. Of course, I have no evidence of this, and many people will say that I am being paranoid (I probably am a little paranoid -- at least that’s what people are saying). And what I present here is merely anecdotal. But we really should think about this stuff, and perhaps it is time to, as the Democrats like to say, have a conversation.

My Story:

I bought Century Bob XL, a lifelike punching bag used by boxers and MMA fighters to train. I nicknamed him Uncle Bob because he’s basically a man’s torso on a stick, whose anatomically correct visage (get your mind out of the gutter) allows a person to target punches and kicks.

I use him exclusively for targeting because having been crushed against a wall by a tractor-trailer and having my hand cut off and sewn back on, hitting him would be too painful. But I still need to train if I want to keep my distance from the wheelchair that looms ever larger in my future as my injuries worsen with the passing years

There never should have been an Obama administration.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
The founders knew what they were doing when they excluded the children of foreign nationals from being President.

“Google, Amazon and FauxBook are EVIL.”

Not compared to the people that use the information to put you on a list and lock you up.

I filled out a form at the AAA website to check auto insurance rates. They were to high so I stopped.

I am not kidding, 2 minutes later I get a phone call from a AAA rep who said he sees that I did not finish the form then proceeded to ask what current rate I was getting from my current insurance company.

I decided then not to get AAA insurance.
I bet many sites follow you in real time.
I know google records our comments here right away.
Do a search on the title of an article posted here to see.

Was it not Edward Snowden who revealed the extent of our government amassing massive amounts of data via our emails, phone calls, texts, etc?

Our government punishes whistleblowers. I despise what they’ve done to Julian Assange.

Every nation utilizes its tech, e.g., telecoms, websites, vehicles, credit and ATMs, etc. To spy on citizens and foreigners.

I was talking with a guy that had returned from a mission trip in Haiti. Country in ruins, trying to help people get fresh water. But everyone has cell phones and service. The guy said that it was to keep tabs on everybody.

Although it would seem to me that allowing your poor people see how people live in the rest of the world would be risky. Maybe they are like the Chinese and limit what information comes in from outside.

The scariest part is you were filling out the form in pencil while lying in bed!
