OAKLAND (CBS SF) — Hidden microphones that are part of a clandestine government surveillance program that has been operating around the Bay Area has been exposed.
Imagine standing at a bus stop, talking to your friend and having your conversation recorded without you knowing. It happens all the time, and the FBI doesn’t even need a warrant to do it.
Federal agents are planting microphones to secretly record conversations.
Jeff Harp, a KPIX 5 security analyst and former FBI special agent said, “They put microphones under rocks, they put microphones in trees, they plant microphones in equipment. I mean, there’s microphones that are planted in places that people don’t think about, because that’s the intent!”
FBI agents hid microphones inside light fixtures and at a bus stop outside the Oakland Courthouse without a warrant to record conversations, between March 2010 and January 2011.

Not very familiar with the capabilities of parabolic microphones, are you?
If you cat identifies as a human your litterbox is under federal jurisdiction and YOU may be guilty of a hate crime.
Not when you carry around a device that can be used to spy on your movements and communications! And even without one, there’s nothing to stop the government from snooping on you on your own property as a matter of course, sans warrant.
Actually, they don’t even need hidden microphones if you’re speaking in a room with windows.
The FBI has a laser listening device that they focus on the glass. It coverts the sound vibrations of the glass to a wave, which reflects back to the “transceiver”.
Found out about it over a decade ago, when they busted a guy here for bank/wire/internet fraud.
Probably many agencies have them now.
Sam Francis warned of anarcho-tyranny from the managerial state many years ago. Many people thought him a kook. But then we have examples like the one you provide.
Eeeeeeeeeeeew . . . . . . remind me not to come visit.
It 1984 24/7 to these Leftist clowns.
A good part of the Fascist Bureau of Investigation leadership needs to be indicted and charged with sedition. The FBI is another clown car carrying out the goals of the leftist, Marxist plot to destroy Americans’ liberties. Time to hold these Gestapo pigs accountable.
Your TV is watching and listening to you. They were working on “dual communication” in TVs back in the 80s.
I truly believe that every crime could be solved immediately. But the government is not quite ready to reveal just how powerful they are. Whoever the hell “they” are.
I heard on some show today that by 2038 there will be 9 billion people on earth. The earth can’t feed that many. Lots will have to die.
The Earth can easily feed 9 billion people; look at how much can be cultivated and we don’t even bother. If the contraception/abortion mindset of the West continues to spread, we’ll take a long time to reach 9 billion...
Remember when Sec. of State George Shultz had to use a magic slate writing pad to thwart espionage?

The world can feed 9 billion. What happens when it passes 9 billion. And it will.
I suspect that capacity to produce food will increase as well; look at how much more efficiently we produce food compared to a century ago.
I believe all the land that will grow food in the southern US is being farmed. With the exception of the forests and there aren’t many of them left.
I know we can grow food more efficiently. But that simply means there are less and less agriculture jobs. A sixteen row plow and a sixteen roll cotton picker can harvest the cotton quicker and more efficiently. But it’s still the same amount of cotton. It can only be grown during the summer months.
Large wheat fields can be harvested in a few days with ten combines going all at once. But it’s the same amount of wheat.
Thank you for a good laugh : )
There is a solution.
I saw those thrashers rolling by looking more than two lanes wide

ducking....
It is beyond simple efficiency in terms of machines; Japan has really gone a long way in finding new methods to increase the amount of farmable land. Even FDR pushed programs that helped farmers use the land more efficiently (terracing and such) that many Third Worlders don’t yet use.
Israel showed how irrigation can turn desert into farmland.
