After reading this article you might not ever view your electronic devices the same way again. Last year, Hollywood released a biographical political thriller based on the life of Edward Snowden that had one particularly creepy scene. In that scene, a government spook used a program to remotely activate the microphone and camera on a laptop, and by doing so he was able to watch a woman as she got undressed. Sadly, as you will see below, this kind of thing is happening constantly. Any digital device can potentially be accessed and used to spy on you even if it appears to be turned off. And this is why Donald Trump needs to be so careful right now, because the intelligence community wants to take him down and they can literally use any digital device in his possession to try to gather dirt on him. We have a “deep state” that is absolutely obsessed with watching, tracking and monitoring the American people, and something desperately needs to be done about this unconstitutional surveillance. Now that Trump has become greatly upset about how the government was tapping into his phone calls, maybe something will finally get accomplished.
In an article that I just published on The Most Important News, I talked about the NSA’s brand new two billion dollar data storage facility in Utah that can store up to five zettabytes of data. Secret “electronic monitoring rooms” embedded within the facilities of major communications companies across the United States send an endless flow of digital information to this facility, and most Americans have no idea that this is even happening. The following comes from Wired…

It can't be. Once the horse is out of the barn, there's not putting him back in. Sure, Trump can order them and all agencies not to do it but they'll continue anyway.
Eight years ago, during the BC researches, I know "they" were spying and crashed at least one of my computers.
No doubt "they" could overthrow a government.
Not just phones but smart TV's as well. That's why my TV is as dumb as toaster.
There was actually a denial-of-service attack last year using internet connected household appliances ("Internet Of Things" devices). The attack brought down DynDNS servers for several hours.
Yeah, didn’t think the mic could be covered sufficiently. Guess I have to go back to dissing Obama in code. ;)
Take off the rose colored glasses.
Ditto
It wasn't just Trump, or Sessions, or Attkisson, or Rosen. It was HUNDREDS of Americans that the Obama Admin /DNC used surveillance on for political purposes . Jeh Johnson authorized the use of wiretapping of those people under the guise that the 'election' was a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE.
Obama Just Federalized U.S. Elections By Authorizing Homeland Security Control
Idiots who buy a phone without a removable battery are inviting this.
It’s like smoking three packs of Marlborough every day and then wailing when you get lung cancer.

People in power are jealous of their power. They work very hard to insure that their own tools are not used against them.
If you think there are no political controls by the President to make sure that renegade NSA types have serious risks if they use their tools against the executive branch, you are being naive.
It is much, much easier for a president to punish people in the NSA than it is for people in the NSA to punish a president.

Kirsten Powers "The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech" Lifelong liberal Kirsten Powers blasts the Left's forced march towards conformity in an exposé of the illiberal war on free speech. No longer champions of tolerance and free speech, the "illiberal Left" now viciously attacks and silences anyone with alternative points of view.

Kim Strassel: "The Intimidation Game" From Kim Strassel, one of the preeminent political colum8ists writing today and ember of the WSJ editorial board, comes an insight, alarming look at how the Left, once the champion of civil liberties, is today orchestrating a coordinated campaign to bully Americans out of free speech.
The Left/Marxists have truly ramped up their efforts to remove President Trump from office....the American citizens cannot let this continue...CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND YOUR SENATORS - DEMAND THEY PUT A STOP TO THIS OBAMA COUP! THEY PROMISED/SWORE TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION....DO IT!
I highly suspect Obie had Romney and his people tapped during 2012 election process as well.
I can’t stand Romney, but I always thought it strange how he was ahead with a full head of steam, then suddenly, he rolled over like a kicked pup.
sounds like it’s time to go to the Paulie Cicero communication method.

Good advice!
Last time I saw Kirsten Powers running her mouth, she had flipped back to her old Democrat-ways.
“Idiots who buy a phone without a removable battery are inviting this.”
Whoa, hold on there pardner, I’m one of those millions of people you’re classifying as “idiot”. As a previous poster mentioned, a phone (or other device) can easily be placed in a faraday cage to block all signal. This can be accomplished as easily as placing the device in a microwave oven (no joke), wrapping it in foil, using an old potato chip bag, or buy purchasing and using one of many of the very affordable bags designed for just this purpose.
Some of the first faraday cages for phones and other small computer devices were originally designed to thwart hackers seeking financial and credit card data they would steal just by getting close enough to the targeted device in a public place, using a compact, wireless, hacking tool to retrieve the info in a matter of seconds. People concerned about becoming victims of such found it much quicker and easier and faster to just place their smartphones in a faraday bag rather than having to go through removal of the battery and the whole start up process.

She had it happen to her with the Obama Administraion.
One other name: Michael Hastings
Carry your faraday cage around while tethered to a groundstake do you?
