Glenn Greenwald, Guardian journalist who broke the NSA surveillance
story showing the extent of the expansion of domestic spying under
Barack Obama, tells Fox and Friends that more is coming and the world "will be shocked" by the upcoming next bombshell.
Greenwald states "I will say that there are vast programs, both domestic and international
spying, that the world will be shocked to learn about, that the NSA is
engaged in with no democratic accountability and that’s what driving our
reporting."
He continues "I think what the Obama administration wants, and has been trying to
establish for the last almost five years now with the unprecedented war
on whistleblowers that it is waging, and to make it so that everybody is
petrified of coming forward with information about what our political
officials are doing in the dark that is deceitful, illegal or corrupt."
The recent leaks from Edward Snowden have caused Barack Obama headaches
domestically over the domestic spying, as well as outraged other
countries that have now received confirmation regarding the level of
international spying.
France has threatened trade talks and demands the Obama administration spying end immediately with France’s president Francois Hollande saying "We cannot accept this kind of behaviour between partners and allies."
EU President Herman Van Rompuy said he was "very concerned" by the
reports and stressed the EU wanted a "full and urgent clarification".
Germany is preparing to charge the UK and US intelligence over fresh bugging allegations reported on by German news magazine Der Spiegel, which says it was privy to parts of documents in Snowden's possession showing that Europeans were specifically mentioned as a "target" in the source document from September 2010.

This is what real leadership looks like!! If the GOP wants America’s
support again they need to begin speaking up like this freshman
congressman from Oklahoma. Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) spoke on the
House Floor and gave his review of President Obama.
Bridenstine
ended by saying, “The president’s dishonesty, incompetence,
vengefulness and lack of moral compass lead many to suggest that he is
not fit to lead.”
He added, “The only problem is that his vice president is equally unfit and even more embarrassing.”

The elite want to tightly control almost everything that we do, say
and think. When most people think of “tyranny”, they think of thugs
with guns and little dictators running around barking orders at
everyone. But that is not how the elite are accomplishing their goals
these days. They want us to actually believe that we have freedom and
that we are choosing our own leaders, but in the background they are
exerting “soft power” in a way that is absolutely ruthless. They fund
the political campaigns of our politicians, they own nearly all of the
large corporations and financial institutions, they exert very tight
control over the media and their agenda is being promoted through the
education systems of virtually every nation on the planet. What the
elite are doing is not illegal. In fact, they use the government and
they use the law to accomplish their purposes.
That is one reason why the elite love big government. For them, it
is an instrument of control. The larger the government is, the easier
it is to watch, track, monitor and control the rest of us. As you read
this, a “total domination control grid” is being constructed all around
us that is far beyond anything that George Orwell ever dreamed of. This
system is advancing on hundreds of different fronts, and it is getting
tighter and more restrictive with each passing day.
We may think that we still have a certain degree of liberty, but if
you start doing things that the system does not like, the system has a
way of getting you back in line very quickly. In the end, it is all
about control. There are many among the elite that actually believe
that a tightly controlled society that is dominated by government
institutions that they control is what is best for humanity. Many of
them honestly believe that society would descend into chaos without a
strong hand guiding it. Many of them truly are convinced that those
that are “enlightened” are doing a noble thing by guiding humanity into
the “bright future” that the elite are designing for them. But of
course the freedoms and the liberties of the common people must be
greatly limited in order to get us to that “bright future”. We are like
cattle that need to be penned in for our own good.
This is how the elite actually think. I spent many years being
educated by them and rubbing shoulders with them. They should not be
trusted. Once our liberties and freedoms are gone, they will be nearly
impossible to get back. And once the elite have total control, we will
be faced with a tyranny unlike anything humanity has ever seen before.
The following are 29 signs that the elite are transforming society into a total domination control grid…
1. A new bill in the U.S. Senate would allow more than 20 different government agencies to read your email without a search warrant.
2. Next generation facial recognition cameras that can identify a person in less than a second and “send authorities all known intelligence about anyone who enters a camera’s field of vision” are being put up in southern California.
3. A highly sophisticated surveillance grid known as “Trapwire”
is being installed in major cities and at “high value targets” all over
the United States. Unfortunately, most Americans do not even realize
that it exists.
4. Police departments all over America are beginning to deploy unmanned surveillance drones
in the skies over their cities. But don’t think that a drone is not
watching you just because you don’t live in a major city. The truth is
that the federal government has been using unmanned surveillance drones
to spy on farmers in Iowa and Nebraska. There could be a drone over your house right now and you might not ever know it.
5. Individual politicians know more about you than
they ever have before. The amount of information that the Obama campaign
has compiled on potential voters is absolutely frightening…
If you voted this election season, President Obama almost
certainly has a file on you. His vast campaign database includes
information on voters’ magazine subscriptions, car registrations,
housing values and hunting licenses, along with scores estimating how
likely they were to cast ballots for his reelection.
6. The UK is often five or ten years ahead of much
of the rest of the world in implementing “Big Brother” police state
measures. Over there it is now against the law to insult someone with your speech.
If you say something that is “likely” to insult a Muslim or a
homosexual you could end up being dragged in front of a judge. It is
only a matter of time before we see these kinds of laws all over the
planet.
7. Could you imagine the government telling you what the temperature inside your own home can be? A new law in France would do exactly that…
Heating a French home could soon require an income tax
consultation or even a visit to the doctor under legislation to force
conservation in the nation’s $46 billion household energy market.
A bill adopted by the lower house this month would set prices
that homes pay based on wages, age and climate. Utilities Electricite de
France and GDF Suez will use the data to reward consumers who cut power
and natural gas usage and penalize those whom regulators decide are
wasteful.
8. Control freak bureaucrats love to tell others how
to run their lives. For example, one man down in Orlando, Florida was
recently ordered to rip out the vegetable garden
that he was growing in his front yard. Will we eventually get to the
point where even the smallest details of our lives are micromanaged by
the government?
9. Most Americans don’t realize this, but the DNA of almost every newborn baby in America is collected and stored by the government. What plans do they have for all of this DNA?
10. All over America, schools are beginning to require students to carry IDs with RFID microchips in them wherever they go. Fortunately, some students are fighting back…
The San Antonio sophomore who opposed microchipping student IDs
that would track their every movement has inspired a groundswell of 300
students in her huge district who now refuse to wear the identification
chips over religious, personal privacy, safety and civil liberties
concerns. In addition, some 700 other people have signed petitions
opposing the microchipping program.
11. There is more crossover between our education
system and our law enforcement system than ever before. An increasing
number of schools in the United States have police officers roaming
their hallways, and today there are more than 70,000 children behind bars in America.
12. When you rely on FEMA to take care of you, it
can literally feel like you are in prison. The following is a
description of what life is like in one FEMA camp that was set up in New Jersey in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy…
“Sitting there last night you could see your breath,” displaced
resident Brian Sotelo told the Asbury Park Press. “At (Pine Belt) the
Red Cross made an announcement that they were sending us to permanent
structures up here that had just been redone, that had washing machines
and hot showers and steady electric, and they sent us to tent city. We
got (expletived).”
Sotelo said Blackhawk helicopters patrol the skies “all day and
night” and a black car with tinted windows surveys the camp while the
government moves heavy equipment past the tents at night. According to
the story, reporters aren’t even allowed in the fenced complex, where
lines of displaced residents form outside portable toilets. Security
guards are posted at every door, and residents can’t even use the toilet
or shower without first presenting I.D.
“They treat us like we’re prisoners,” Ashley Sabol told Reuters.
“It’s bad to say, but we honestly feel like we’re in a concentration
camp.”
13. Your cell phone collects information about you
wherever you go, and law enforcement authorities in the United States
requested that cell phone data be turned over to them more than a million times in 2011 alone.
14. The federal government has created an iPhone app that is designed to encourage all of us to take photos of “suspicious activity” and report our neighbors to the authorities.
15. The U.S. government is increasingly using spyware to monitor the behavior of their employees while they are at work.
16. According to three NSA whistleblowers,
the agency “has the capability to do individualized searches, similar
to Google, for particular electronic communications in real time through
such criteria as target addresses, locations, countries and phone
numbers, as well as watch-listed names, keywords, and phrases in email.”
17. Private corporations are gathering every shred
of information about you that they possible can. One of the largest
companies involved in “mining our data” is known as Acxiom. It turns out that Acxiom has compiled information on more than 190 million people in the United States alone…
The company fits into a category called database marketing. It
started in 1969 as an outfit called Demographics Inc., using phone books
and other notably low-tech tools, as well as one computer, to amass
information on voters and consumers for direct marketing. Almost 40
years later, Acxiom has detailed entries for more than 190 million
people and 126 million households in the U.S., and about 500 million
active consumers worldwide. More than 23,000 servers in Conway, just
north of Little Rock, collect and analyze more than 50 trillion data
‘transactions’ a year.
18. We are being trained to give up our privacy and
our dignity in the name of “security”. For example, what the TSA did
recently to one woman who was dying of leukemia was absoutely shameful…
A dying woman says a a security pat-down at Sea-Tac Airport left her embarrassed in front of crowds of people.
Michelle Dunaj says screeners checked under bandages from recent
surgeries and refused to give her a private search when she requested
one.
19. According to one recent survey, nearly one-third of all Americans would be willing to submit to a “TSA body cavity search” in order to fly.
20. Law enforcement authorities all over the United
States will soon be driving around in unmarked vehicles looking inside
your cars and even under your clothes using the same backscatter technology currently being used by the TSA at U.S. airports…
American cops are set to join the US military in deploying
American Science & Engineering’s Z Backscatter Vans, or mobile
backscatter radiation x-rays. These are what TSA officials call “the
amazing radioactive genital viewer,” now seen in airports around
America, ionizing the private parts of children, the elderly, and you
(yes you).
These pornoscannerwagons will look like regular anonymous vans,
and will cruise America’s streets, indiscriminately peering through the
cars (and clothes) of anyone in range of its mighty isotope-cannon. But
don’t worry, it’s not a violation of privacy. As AS&E’s vice
president of marketing Joe Reiss sez, “From a privacy standpoint, I’m
hard-pressed to see what the concern or objection could be.”
21. A company known as BRS Labs has developed
“pre-crime surveillance cameras” that supposedly can identify criminal
activity before it happens. These cameras are being installed at major
transportation hubs all over San Francisco.
22. According to Gizmodo,
the Department of Homeland Security will soon be using laser-based
scanners that can scan your body, your clothes and your luggage from 164
feet away…
Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and
luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50
meters) away. From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to
what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents
will be able to get any information they want without even touching you.
And without you knowing it.
The technology is so incredibly effective that, in November 2011, its inventors were subcontracted by In-Q-Tel to work with the US Department of Homeland Security. In-Q-Tel is a company founded “in February 1999 by a group of private citizens
at the request of the Director of the CIA and with the support of the
U.S. Congress.” According to In-Q-Tel, they are the bridge between the
Agency and new technology companies.
Their plan is to install this molecular-level scanning in airports and border crossings all across the United States.
23. A complex network of automated license plate readers
carefully track the movements of millions of vehicles as they move in
and out of Washington D.C. and the surrounding suburbs. Most people do
not even know that they are there.
24. The FBI is spending a billion dollars
to develop a biometric identification system that will reportedly be
far more sophisticated than anything that law enforcement in the United
States has ever had before….
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has begun rolling out its
new $1 billion biometric Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. In
essence, NGI is a nationwide database of mugshots, iris scans, DNA
records, voice samples, and other biometrics, that will help the FBI
identify and catch criminals — but it is how this biometric data is
captured, through a nationwide network of cameras and photo databases,
that is raising the eyebrows of privacy advocates.
Until now, the FBI relied on IAFIS, a national fingerprint
database that has long been due an overhaul. Over the last few months,
the FBI has been pilot testing a facial recognition system — and soon, detectives will also be able to search the system for other biometrics such as DNA records and iris scans.
25. If the government decides that you are a “bad
guy”, they can put you on a “no fly list” that will ban you from flying
indefinitely. This can be done to you at any time, without any notice,
and you won’t be told that it has happened. In fact, as one prepper discovered recently, you might only find out that you are on the list when you try to board a flight.
26. Those that revere individual liberty are now being labeled as “potential terrorists” in official U.S. government documents.
27. A National Guard whistleblower recently revealed that members of his unit were told that “doomsday preppers” will be treated as “terrorists” when civil unrest breaks out.
28. One family in Idaho recently had their home raided by a SWAT team because a computer identified them as “constitutionalists” after someone had phoned in and complained about a domestic disturbance at their address.
29. Today, the mainstream media in the United States is totally dominated by just six giant corporations.
Those corporations own television networks, cable channels, movie
studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and
large numbers of popular websites. The way that almost every American
looks at the world is being constantly influenced by these media
corporations every single day.
Please share this list with as many people as you can. We desperately need to wake people up while there is still time.
