DHS is in the midst of a project where video footage taken of people moving throughout the Toyota Center in Kennewick, Wash., will be combined with mock profiles of volunteers (This is 100% B/S  no one refused). Then various commercial off-the-shelf facial recognition products will be tested to see how accurate they are.

The data being collected consists of video taken during home games of the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is handling video collection. Results from the facial recognition assessment will be made available to the government.   Continue reading “DHS spied on almost 300,000 families & fans of ‘Tri-City Americans’ hockey team is using facial recognition to identify everyone”

WASHINGTON — The C.I.A. is paying AT&T more than $10 million a year to assist with overseas counterterrorism investigations by exploiting the company’s vast database of phone records, which includes Americans’ international calls, according to government officials.

The cooperation is conducted under a voluntary contract, not under subpoenas or court orders compelling the company to participate, according to the officials. The C.I.A. supplies phone numbers of overseas terrorism suspects, and AT&T searches its database and provides records of calls that may help identify foreign associates, the officials said. The company has a huge archive of data on phone calls, both foreign and domestic, that were handled by its network equipment, not just those of its own customers.   Continue reading “C.I.A. Is Said to Pay AT&T for Call Data”

“I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.”

Halbrook uses newly discovered secret documents from German archives, diaries, and newspapers from the time of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich to demonstrate how civilian disarmament can be accomplished by “legal” methods.   Continue reading “The Past as Prelude: Nazi Disarmament and the U.S. Gun Grab”

WEB Notes: 20% enrichment is not bomb grade. Iran would need to reach 90% enrichment before they would have the required fuel to make a nuclear bomb. Of course they would need to design that bomb in such a fashion that it could be placed on a rocket. Of course they do not have such a rocket that can reliably deliver the payload required. A lot of smoke coming from the world community concerning Iran. This is prophecy folks, stay awake (Daniel 8). Further, if Israel truly wants Iran to halt their nuclear program than Israel should turn over there existing nuclear weapons. Why is one nation superior over another? To the Christian reader, you should understand the tiny nation of Israel did not fulfill God’s everlasting Covenant with Abraham.

Out-of-control spying reflects America’s true face. At stake are fundamental rights too important to lose.

They’re gravely eroded already. They’re headed toward disappearing altogether. They may not survive much longer.

Everybody spies on everyone else. America likely does it best of all. It spies on friends and foes alike.    Continue reading “Institutionalized Spying Targets Freedom”

The Silk Road is dead. But the dark web dream lives on.

On Wednesday morning, Silk Road 2.0 came online, promising a new and slightly improved version of the anonymous black market for drugs and other contraband that the Department of Justice shut down just over a month before. Like the old Silk Road, which until its closure served as the Web’s most popular bazaar for anonymous narcotics sales, the new site uses the anonymity tool Tor and the cryptocurrency Bitcoin to protect the identity of its users. As of Wednesday morning, it already sported close to 500 drug listings, ranging from marijuana to ecstasy to cocaine. It’s even being administered by a new manager using the handle the Dread Pirate Roberts, the same pseudonym adopted by the previous owner and manager of the Silk Road, allegedly the 29-year-old Ross Ulbricht arrested by the FBI in San Francisco on October 2nd.   Continue reading “‘Silk Road 2.0’ Launches, Promising A Resurrected Black Market For The Dark Web”

In 2009, Jim Rickards, a lawyer, investment banker and adviser on capital markets to the Director of National Intelligence and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, participated in a secret war game sponsored by the Pentagon at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). The game’s objective was to simulate and explore the potential outcomes and effects of a global financial war. At the end of the war game, the Pentagon concluded that the U.S. dollar was at extreme risk of devaluation and collapse in the near term, triggered either by a default of the U.S. Treasury and the dumping of bonds by foreign investors or by hyperinflation by the private Federal Reserve.   Continue reading “Is America Being Deliberately Pushed Toward Civil War?”

WASHINGTON – Who, or what, is behind the “purge” of top-level U.S. military officers during the Obama administration, with estimates of the number of senior officers fired during the last five years edging toward 200?

According to Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely, formerly the deputy commanding general of the Pacific Command, who has served as a Fox News senior military analyst , a good part of the blame belongs to Obama’s close adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Rampant “political correctness” due to her influence, Vallely tells WND, is now permeating the military and negatively affecting everyone from top generals to the ranks of the enlisted.   Continue reading “General blames ‘Night Stalker’ for military purge”

The Pentagon may expand its system of propaganda websites aimed at various audiences around the world despite attempts by Congress to kill the program, Special Operations Command documents released Tuesday show.

Tampa-based SOCOM has opened up a search for potential contractors to run the command’s Trans Regional Web Initiative, a collection of news websites run by various combatant commands throughout the world. The command’s request called for any interested companies to send information about how they would continue to maintain the sites or develop new ones.   Continue reading “Special operations may add propaganda websites”

At an estimated cost of $150 billion, the Fukushima nuclear power plant ‘cleanup’ efforts have suspicious ties to organized crime and many on-site workers lack the required expertise to handle such nuclear disasters safely or effectively. With over 7 layers of poorly-supervised sub-contractors, like Tepco, Kajima and Obayashi Corp. – workers are routinely being exposed, in less than 1 hour, to deadly levels of radiation. But, there’s more to this story and the truth needs to be told.   Continue reading “Fukushima cleanup efforts put northern hemisphere on alert”

The trail of lies from the Obama-occupied White House never seems to cease, and a recent speech by the Usurper-in-Chief himself concerning the ongoing Obamacare insurance debacle is no exception. Responding to widespread public outrage over his breaking of earlier promises that people could keep their existing health insurance coverage under the new system, Usurper Obama now claims that he never actually made such promises, despite the fact that there are at least 29 recorded instances of him making them.   Continue reading “Obama now blatantly delusional: Denies ever promising you can keep your health insurance”
