You’d Better Watch Out: The Surveillance State Has a Naughty List, and You’re on It
Red Wave ^ | December 9,2021 | John W. and Nisha Whitehead

He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows when you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness’ sake!”

—“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”

Santa’s got a new helper.

No longer does the all-knowing, all-seeing, jolly Old St. Nick need to rely on antiquated elves on shelves and other seasonal snitches in order to know when you’re sleeping or awake, and if you’ve been naughty or nice.

Thanks to the government’s almost limitless powers made possible by a domestic army of techno-tyrants, fusion centers and Peeping Toms, Santa can get real-time reports on who’s been good or bad this year. This creepy new era of government/corporate spying—in which we’re being listened to, watched, tracked, followed, mapped, bought, sold and targeted—makes the NSA’s rudimentary phone and metadata surveillance appear almost antiquated in comparison.

Behavioral threat assessments. Terror watch lists. Facial recognition. Snitch tip lines. Biometric scanners. Pre-crime. DNA databases. Data mining. Precognitive technology. Contact tracing apps.

What these add up to is a world in which, on any given day, the average person is now monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways by both government and corporate eyes and ears.

Big Tech wedded to Big Government has become Big Brother.

Every second of every day, the American people are being spied on by a vast network of digital Peeping Toms, electronic eavesdroppers and robotic snoops.

“..We just think we are free...”

Just like we think there are two opposing political parties.
There is only ONE party; the UniParty. And it has its “all-seeing eye” on everybody.

Yeah, I am getting tired of every phone update turning my tracking crap back on. They insist it is all on for a REASON.

There was this guy I used to see hanging around in the grocery store I go to. I always presumed he was with undercover security or something because he was never really doing anything, obviously not a customer, and was either sitting in a chair by the entrance or milling about sort of aimlessly.

Then one day at home, I had realized I had forgot to pick up one of those bags of spinach leaves that I occassionaly get. I didn’t have anything to do at the moment and was actually a bit bored, so I figured I’d just go to the store to get it since it was only a few miles away.

As I’m walking out to leave, I see this same guy pull up, my driveway roll down the window and say, “There was a recall on that spinach and we won’t have any more in stock until Thursday. Just thought I’d save you some time. Later!” and he quickly backed out and left.

Yes, I completely made this up.

I turn off every tracking thing I can. The problem is, I don’t believe the buttons / switches do anything. Not for one second do I believe they stopping tracking when you turn off a feature. I think the tracking just becomes more sneaky / stealthy.

I absolutely agree. I think they just make you think they are off. They have actually already been caught at this too. I think that is why most phones now come where you cannot remove the battery.

Don’t look to the GOP to reign in the surveillance state. Not going to happen.

**************

Both parties are there for themselves, not the people they claim to represent.

Thinking the GOP is “our” party is absurd.

Exactly, there’s no button or switch that’s going to prevent these people from monitoring us.

Assume you’re always being monitored. Because you are.

Just remember that God is watching the watchers. And His list is the important one.

Thank you, yeah I’m hip. But I do so much business all day long that I need to be reached all the time. So I use a burn phone with no connections to my real self.

I don’t buy it all in the first place.

Vehicles are too old for computers & On Star

Land line only with phone like Grandma had

NO Siri or Alexa

NO electronic devices that can ‘communicate

NOT a ‘smart house’

Electric fences surrounding property 5 + acres.

No cameras outside or inside.

Motion sensor lights

LOL - when you think “they’re watching” just wave.

A thug State wants you afraid. You have to go along with them taking your power for it to work for them... so don’t give it up. Every day and every way - let them know you’re not afraid.

Some of this article is too alarmist.

For example, the license plate readers. Many of the LPR systems do not have an success rate even more than 30%. The data is not that easy to acquire or transmit either. There is not one LPR system in place that can immediately and automatically acquire the car’s registered owner - and that isn’t always who is driving. That info has to be obtained from one of two other possible systems - the state DMV or Inlets - which has an audit like you wouldn’t believe. So the camera can take a pic of the car, collecting all the owner data will take days or more.

I will speak to email because that is indeed extremely easy to mine.

Don’t forget to power your phone down before you put in the bag or it will run the battery down searching for a network. Or at least put in airplane mode.
