Its not just your phone calls its YOU they are listening toJames Smith But, this is the 21st Century. A grand era of technology. Buck Rogers and H.G. Wells would be so proud of our technological advancements. But so would Stalin, Mao and Hitler. The NSAs recently leaked shopping catalog is chilling and would harsh the mellow of any regular Joe. Lets start with you. You have a phone that you call home with. The NSA can listen in to your phone using PICASSO. It knows your phone book, your recent calls, where youve been, your PIN numbers that youve used, and can block your calls. Like if youre being chased by black SUVs and you want to call 911 tough luck, theyve shut down your phone. But the REAL interesting part of the PICASSO it can collect LIVE AUDIO from the phone. Are you carrying on a great conversation about how much you think Obamacare is a scam? Your political dissent can now be recorded in real time and documented. The Apple iPhone isnt even safe. DROPOUTJEEPis a software implant that can pull files, photos, address book, listen in on your conversations, capture images with the camera, and tell them your exact location all being sent covertly through the SMS system. CANDYGRAMshould be called FAKEOUT because it mimics a cell tower. At 40,000 bucks a unit, it has been designed to be remotely erased in case it cannot be recovered. How about your computer? We all know of PRISM and the other anagrams. Even your old computer isnt safe. SWAP and DEITYBOUNCEcan be uploaded to Windows, LINUX, FreeBSD, or Solaris systems by the ARKSTREAM system to re-flash your computers BIOS to upload software via TWISTEDKILT to drop a payload. In other words, they can put files on your computer that you didnt put on there, like child porn. IRATEMONKalters your hard drive firmware and gains control of the Master Boot Record. And the big guys arent immune from the NSA keyhole-peeking approach. Products such HEADWATER andHALLUXWATER are actually designed to defeat Huawei Eudeomon firewall servers and give the NSA a backdoor to many European and Asian companies. Dont worry Cisco firewall owners, the JETPLOWcan probably be found on your units. TOTEGHOSTLYis designed for Windows Mobile PDAs to do the same function as PICASSO and DROPOUTJEEP, including listening to conversations and taking photos. Even old computers arent safe. The Windows XP system has been compromised by SOMBERKNAVE, that helps VALIDATOR calls home and deliver the data to the NSA agent. And this is nothing more than Tyranny, aided by the very manufacturers that expect you to trust them. Dell, Microsoft, and so many others have been in cahoots with the NSA since day one. There is no room for individualism in this world. The government is everywhere, they see and hear everything and they control everything that isnt human. They observe and report your actions, your thoughts, your feelings and emotions . You might think you and your family are succeeding in a small rebellion for a short while, but eventually it catches up with you. You realize they knew all along, they are already working against you and at the end of the day, they will kill every subversive thought you may or will have. There is not a chance to be an individual in this dictatorship. They will get you. They always get you. And eventually, they get to you. This article first appeared at Prepper Podcast Radio Network.
