I am not pleased that companies can access this information.

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

Once this info gets into global sphere it’s out there for anyone to get. We are being
tracked/watched more and more and as technology advances privacy is about gone if
someone wants to capture it.

Sad but the days of the pony express are gone.

Ah yes....I did quite a bit of research on Chad Sweet...none of it good

“Sweet co-founded the Chertoff Group with former Bush and Obama administration Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.”

ANYONE mixed up with Chertoff is going to be open borders and bad trade like TPP.... Liz Cheney’s old man Phil Perry is also wound up with Chertoff. That’s how he got a job in the DOJ and mismanaged billions of $$$.


Geez—Cheney’s husband...those elites like to marry other elites don’t they?

Wasn’t Chertoff the guy whose company got the contract for TSA scanners?

Yep!

Liz Cheney just announced she’s running for the House of Reps. She’s owned by the same open border bunch as Rubio...CESAR CONDA,MR. AMNESTY, domestic advisor to VP Cheney.... All the same players, over and over and no one wants to admit it!

Sad, but our Congress allows this without any push back whatsoever.

And I remember last time around, Levin endorsed Cheney in the GOP primary...He needs to do some research and wise up, or he is not the person I thought he was...

Good catch, RC. I’ve posted extensively about the Mr. and Mrs. Cruz Goldman Sachs, “free trade”, World Bank, and Washington Cartel connections I have found by researching. Thanks for this one. This “twofer” represent serious globalism. They’ve been at the very heart of this for years.

Maybe this is the source of the fantastic "ground game" they talk about that Cruz has.

More dirty tricks.

I tried to tell Levin, many of us did. We tried to tell him about Rubio and Cruz and all he did was cut us off and call us STUPID BLOGGERS. Levin sold out. So did Beck, and looks like Limbaugh has too.

And this is how they do it....Special interest groups, pacs like pay off the talking heads of radio. This is nothing new. GW BUSH paid off several to push his policies and it came out of YOUR tax $$...like Armstrong Williams, who now works for Ben Carson.

Headline: Who’s funding this pro-Ted Cruz super PAC?
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/06/politics/ted-cruz-super-pac/index.html

[snip] Stand for Truth, Inc., an emerging player in the orbit of often clashing constellation of pro-Cruz super PACs, recently pledged to air more than $4 million in television ads to back Cruz in Iowa and South Carolina. Super PACs can accept unlimited contributions but are required to disclose their financial backers.

Ok, the guy running this outfit is Eric Lycan, LAWYER is all wound up with the US Chamber of Commerce. I do find it MOST interesting that many of Cruz’s supporters/funders are open border, free traitors (TPP). Their filing also shows they spent $42,000 to create digital advertising for Ted Cruz, and...
.....wait for it...
..... spent $192,594.00 for “RADIO ADVERTISING”.
It makes a person wonder which radio broadcasters might have picked up some of that Pro-Ted Cruz advertising money?

Tip O the Hat to Liz, Doughty One and Aunt B.

DO is like the watch bird who keeps alert of about is happening.

Liz and Aunt B are superb long time fact finders re the evils of government and those pretending to be our friends.

When something like this comes up, I ping them to get them to share their detective work. They are great resources for the truth versus the pr bs we see and read.

The Cruzers here refuse look at what we know about him and his wife. They are low-info or no-info people. The other day, one poster responded to a post about Heidi and her connection to Goldman Sachs by saying, "What does Cruz's wife have to do with Goldman Sachs? That's off the wall."

I'm having a deja vu---someone born in ANOTHER COUNTRY now as presidential candidate is UNVETTED.

So answer me this:

Can this company or similar technology track which cell phones are present at various candidates’ events? So they know who was at a Cruz pancake event, a Trump rally, a Rubio Q & A?

IF so, no one should be supporting this—regardless of who their candidate is in this race!!

If so, instead of wearing a tin foil hat, perhaps I need to enclose my cell phone in tin foil at campaign events if I don’t want to be included in some political data collection...;(

From Wikipedia:

Cruz campaign chairman Chad Sweet compared Heidi's working "the phones" to her tenure at Goldman, adding, "There are very few spouses who can get on the phone on a cold call to a prospective donor and make a more compelling case in a personal and effective way than Heidi Cruz." It was later reported that she was making calls based on donor lists provided to her by a super PAC.

Try that in California and you might need Ted as a lawyer!
Iowa and other states probably have similar laws.

cordless telephones, a cordless telephone and a landline telephone,
or a cordless telephone and a cellular radio telephone, shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars
($2,500), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year,
or in the state prison, or by both that fine and imprisonment. If
the person has been convicted previously of a violation of this
section or of Section 631, 632, 632.5, 632.6, or 636, the person
