Face recognition..... behaviour modification..... total surveillance of the sheeple.
Broader
U.S. spy initiative debated
Baltimore Sun 01/06/03 Original Link: http://www.sunspot.net/news/nationworld/bal-spy1503,0,4325331.story?coll=bal-home-headlines WASHINGTON -- Even its name, some say, is ominous and Orwellian, conjuring up visions of Big Brother tracking your video rentals, prescriptions or e-mail: "Total Information Awareness." To privacy advocates and civil libertarians, this government supercomputer project is nothing less than domestic spying, the chilling first step toward a surveillance society. The man leading it, former Iran-contra figure John M. Poindexter, only adds to what critics call the "spook factor." But to security specialists, the drive to develop a network of public and private databases could be crucial to identifying terrorists before they strike and to preventing another Sept. 11. Total Information Awareness, which officials say is in the experimental phase and years from being used, is a project of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon's research arm. Since the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957, DARPA has developed technologies for the military. It led the way in the creation of the Internet. The goal of the Total Information Awareness program is a global computer surveillance system that could sift through mountains of personal information in databases -- credit card purchases, telephone calls and e-mails, medical prescriptions, passports, driver's licenses, school records, magazine subscriptions, gun purchases -- to look for suspicious patterns and ultimately identify potential terrorists. Poindexter, a national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan whose felony convictions in the Iran-contra scandal were overturned on appeal, says such a system could help track terrorists who can now move freely without detection. "Total Information Awareness -- a prototype system -- is our answer," said Poindexter, a retired Navy rear admiral, during a speech last summer. "One of the significant new data sources that needs to be mined to discover and track terrorists is the 'transaction space,'" he said. "If terrorist organizations are going to plan and execute attacks against the United States, their people must engage in transactions, and they will leave signatures in this information space." Privacy advocates say that giving the government access to such data could subject innocent citizens to scrutiny and that, in the wrong hands, the information could be used to intimidate political foes -- much as J. Edgar Hoover's FBI exploited the gathering of intelligence to harass critics of the Nixon administration. The program "is the mother of all privacy invasions," complains Jay Stanley of the American Civil Liberties Union. "It would amount to a picture of your life so complete it's equivalent to somebody following you around all day with a video camera." But many security specialists say such technology is worth considering and point out that it would have to stand up to legal challenges. "In this environment, we have to engage in very aggressive, exhaustive research and development efforts," says Phil Anderson, an international security senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "If they're inappropriate, then they never make it through the legal system. Reason -- and our great Constitution -- prevails." Poindexter's role Poindexter, who has worked as a DARPA contractor for several years, approached the Pentagon with the idea after the Sept. 11 attacks and discussed it over lunch with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. Early last year, Poindexter was made head of DARPA's Information Awareness Office, which is also working on technologies to identify people at great distances through facial features and gait. The TIA program's budget was set at $137 million for this fiscal year. After recent criticism, Poindexter and the office have kept a low profile. A DARPA spokeswoman said that neither Poindexter nor any other agency official was available to discuss the project. Even the Web site for the Information Awareness Office has been toned down. Until recently, the site featured as its emblem an all-knowing eye atop a pyramid -- with its sights set on the entire globe -- and a Latin motto meaning "knowledge is power." A redesigned Web site now has no such logo or slogan. Differing policies Specialists in technology policy tend to support Poindexter's basic theory that linking and comparing databases could yield valuable information. For example, a report by the Markle Foundation, a private philanthropic group that focuses on information technology, showed how the Sept. 11 hijackers could have been identified before the attacks if the names of all airline passengers had been run through the government's "watch list" of suspected terrorists and then checked against phone numbers, addresses, frequent-flier numbers, lists of expired visas, and attendance rolls from flight schools. But the report cautioned: "Though there are areas where more data may need to be collected, the immediate challenge is to make more effective use of the information already in government hands or publicly available." Privacy advocates have generally been fighting uphill battles since Sept. 11. Many of them objected, for example, to portions of the USA Patriot Act, a bill that enhanced law enforcement's surveillance powers and passed both houses of Congress overwhelmingly. But in the TIA program, such activists appear to have found a cause that has not just emboldened their troops but also rallied former adversaries to their side. Conservatives such as departing House Republican leader Dick Armey and former Rep. Bob Barr, a Georgia Republican, have signed on as consultants with the liberal-leaning ACLU. Congressional concerns On Capitol Hill, too, criticism -- or at least skepticism -- is coming from both sides of the aisle, as are calls for studying the project soon after Congress convenes this week. Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, senior Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, asked Rumsfeld to review the program, suggesting that it would "not only raise serious privacy concerns [but] might also be illegal and possibly unconstitutional." Sen. Charles E. Grassley, an Iowa Republican who will lead the Senate Finance Committee, said he was "at a loss to understand why Defense Department resources are being spent on research for domestic law enforcement." He expressed concern that the Justice Department was not consulted about the program and questioned Poindexter's involvement. Members of the Appropriations Committee have said they will seek to cut off new money for the project until Congress gets a chance to consider it. Such critics -- including Fortune magazine, which dubbed the program the "Worst Technology of 2002," and The New York Times editorial board, which said the program should be closed pending an investigation -- oppose the dragnet approach to hunting terrorists. "This type of profiling has been the goal of direct marketing for years," according to Chris Hoofnagle, legislative counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "If you get a 2 to 3 percent response from direct mail, that's considered a victory. That's how inaccurate the system is. With junk mail, you can just throw it away; we're talking about people's civil liberties being invaded here." Defending the program At a Pentagon news conference late last year, Edward C. "Pete" Aldridge Jr., undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, defended the program. He said it would safeguard the anonymity of innocent citizens and focus solely on transactions considered possible indicators of terrorism. With the program still in an experimental stage, Aldridge said, only test data fabricated to look like real events and transactions were being used. If the technology proves successful, he said, it would then be turned over to law enforcement officials, intelligence agencies and the Homeland Security Department. At that point, the technology would be subject to the same legal safeguards -- such as search warrants -- that protect citizens' privacy today. He said it would be up to the Homeland Security Department to determine whether the new technology would require legislation, such as amendments to the Privacy Act of 1974. That law bars federal agencies from sharing personal information or creating dossiers on Americans without their permission. Poindexter as catalyst And Aldridge pointed out that Poindexter, whose role in the Iran-contra affair leaves some civil libertarians and lawmakers uneasy, would be involved only in developing the program, not in "exercising" it. "Once the tool is developed, John will not be involved," Aldridge said. "But it's his enthusiasm and his volunteering of this idea which is why we developed and started to fund it." Some of the program's advocates concede that Poindexter has been the catalyst for the barrage of condemnation that has landed at DARPA's door. "I don't think it would ever be an issue were John Poindexter not involved with it," says Anderson of CSIS. Indeed, Poindexter has made an easy target for critics, such as Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a New York Democrat, who has asked Rumsfeld to fire him. Poindexter was the highest- ranking official found guilty in the Iran-contra scandal, a covert scheme in the mid-1980s in which money from arms sales to Iran was illegally diverted to the Nicaraguan rebels. He was convicted in 1990 of five felony counts of lying to Congress, destroying official documents and obstructing congressional inquiries. Poindexter's convictions were later overturned by a federal appeals court. That court ruled that testimony he had given to Congress under a grant of immunity had been improperly used against him at trial. Asked about Poindexter's return to government, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said only, "The president thinks that Admiral Poindexter has served our nation very well." The Pentagon stresses Poindexter's distance from any future application of the program. But Poindexter, who has a doctorate in physics, has spoken with the Transportation Security Administration about helping to develop its new passenger profiling system. A new generation of the industry's Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System, CAPPS II, would check the name of every passenger against computer databases for clues to suspicious intentions. "TIA is this big, scary, Orwellian thing," says Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which defends civil liberties in the digital age. "CAPPS II is almost like a pilot program."
The Matrix Reloaded: Revelation of the Method
Alex
Jones May 23 2003
The first "Matrix" was obviously new age in its overall presentation: that you've got to believe in yourself and then you can change the parameters of reality from within. And it had the overall message that there is another
reality, that we are in a false reality. It
covered and explained denial, how some people want to remain
inside the lie and don't want to know the truth, don't want to
remember the truth, want to be reinserted into the fraud at the
cost of their sovereignty, their liberty, their freedom, their
creativity.
And it had, of course, a lot of violence in it but it was a fight against machines so it wasn't real human beings that were dying. And there were a lot of young people who were affected by the powerful and dark overtones of the film - and were obviously already unstable. Whether it was because of government programming or the general culture and (they) went out and shot people inside of the film. And so I was ambiguous. I am certainly a Christian and didn't follow the New Age, Hindu or Buddhist line but I was still overall not sure if the film was a production of the globalists. Well, now I am sure that The Matrix I and The Matrix II: "Matrix Reloaded," are in the most pure sense Illuminati productions. The film begins obviously with a group of trailers and there is a wide screen shot that has been squeezed down and distorted as an authority figure-type man in black sits behind a table with flickering subliminals being splashed on the screen, talking about power-aid. This is before the film begins. And he talks down to you and says you are not even going to understand what I'm saying to you - you pathetic mindless, hive-minded units. You are units that power the Matrix. Drink your power-aid. Do as you are ordered to do. So that's how the film begins. And then it launches into the world of the Matrix - that is the real physical world of the underground base of Zion. Yes, Zion. And you have the marauding forces that surface through the wrecked cities above and transmit the minds or the souls in a type of digital, astral projection into the machine world or the Matrix. And you are told that both of these are reality because perception is reality. And the whole film is basically Illuminati characters - dark masonic overtones with a dark occult leader. And he says that we are the occult, we're the vampires, we're the werewolves, we're the demons, telling them that ... And, of course, he called them Merovingian or the Merovingian bloodline. This is what the Satanists, based in France, believe that they are descendants of Jesus and his brothers, with Satan. This is deep occult, Illuminati stuff. And he tells them how pathetic and little they are and how they are controlled by their instincts, how he manipulates those. It's kind of like the speech you see Al Pacino give in "Devil's Advocate" and how they can't control these impulses. And how they really need the Illuminati. And he, of course, stays in a French castle. By the way, our royal leaders just met in a French castle in the very countryside they represent in the movie. Of course, the Merovingian is French. And, again, I'm just telling you about small tidbits of this. I've got to go back and take notes, which I will do. I've never seen a more powerful, overtly soul-twisting, mind-control film. There is lesbian and homosexual scenes in the film - mass orgies, similar to what the Greeks engaged in. There also is - everyone has chip implants and chip plug-ins - and this is a good thing. They have a little speech in there where if the machines aren't bad, we can fight them with all of this. So it is making the new fashion statement. Probably one of the strongest cultural movements we've seen in modern history is "The Matrix." The video games and the cartoons now and the bunch of spin-off cartoons for the big screen and DVD. They are conditioning the children that it's normal to have plug-ins into your mind - wireheads, as they were called decades ago. It's fashionable to have in-plant points all over your body. Also, it gets into the Satanic view of 'Do as thou wilt.' You have people within the Matrix, different programs, fighting with each other for control and domination but at the end of it, you are face-to-face with the architect. And again, this is the masonic, 33 degree and above view that they are shaping our world and even if the Matrix is defeated, it still wins because it replicates itself. It is in time and space. It can go back in time and restart itself. And the architect is old man Sigmund Freud, Obe Won Kenobe- archtype who sits there and tells Neo that they have allowed people to leave the Matrix. That they discovered that suppressing an exodus from the Matrix actually causes a shutdown and a degradation of the 99% that remain inside their exoluthal (sp) tanks as human batteries for the power grid. And, again, you find out that basically the computers are disembodied spirits or angels or devils and have all the same carnal desires as humans but with an added viciousness, like Greek Gods. It is an Illuminati film through and through. They tell you we are the Illuminati, we are throwing this in your face. They look right at you on the screen and say we are taking over. There is no way to defeat us. We are going to dominate you. We are going to bring you into the evermind - the hive mind. And it's not just Wired Magazine and Silicon Weekly and many other publications, including Salon Today, that are warning you of the takeover. Last year a new Army War College report, in 2000, came out and said within 25 years we will all be in a hive mind, that the Pentagon will oversee the insertion of the public into a control grid. That we will all be mounted in our homes, wired into a global government mind-control computer. It actually said this. The Sunday Morning Herald got the federal document. We called the head(garbled). The head scientist, a woman, said how did you learn of this, and freaked out and hung the phone up. These idiots, of course, release this stuff and don't even know what they are up to - or perhaps that was an act, we're not sure. Three years ago in 2000, the Army War College said the army's main job will be, through peer pressure, convincing the public to take brain chips by 2024, the same year number in the new report last year. They are preparing you for your journey into the real matrix. Now if you are shocked by this, I've been warning you long before "The Matrix" came out that this was their plan. The elite, of course, will not be implanted. And most of you are going to be killed after they release mass plagues. This is if they get you herded into the larger cities. And yesterday, I read from Wired News, out of the newest DARPA document where they say everything you do will be tracked and traced and you will be plugged into that system. I'm sure you saw all the newscasts in same exact words, in the same order, showing implantation of members of the public. I have promotionals where the family that took the chips is called "wonderous, genius, cool", "everybody wants it." "Everybody is going to get it." As the Pentagon says, they are going to use hype to drive and push this. This is real. Truth is stranger than fiction. And to have the Illuminati shout at me for two hours was very, very painful. I was nauseated during the first 30 minutes of the film. I will have to, of course, when it's on DVD get a copy and try to free frame it. There was a continual flickering through the screen which they admit is for hypnosis. There are subliminals in the film both overtly in the tapestry in the buildings, in the background in what the people say. And, also just like with the "The Exorcist," which they now admit was written by the former deputy director of the CIA, they put flash frames, a primitive form of subliminal, in that film, which is now admitted - blood and guts and then Satan. There were other subliminals here. I'm not sure exactly what the covert sublimanals were but they were definitely there in the front of the film at higher levels and then saturated in emotional scenes when your conscious mind is diverted. In the primitive combat function, mammalian activity structure. So this is what we are facing. I recommend that you do not see the film. I know with the reverse psychology, you will probably see it. Curiosity killed the cat. I felt like walking out of the film. It was the most gripping experience of overt mind control I have ever experienced. You can see what the new science of film is going to be. So this is a warning to everyone. Definitely do not let your children see it. It is a preparation to go into the literal matrix being built by the Pentagon. In fact, just in case you are doubting me, let me re-read from Wired News yesterday, "A Spy Machine of DARPA's Dreams." This is not a spy machine. This is a cashless society control grid. Once you are buying and selling on the system, they will then launch attacks that are one-thousand times larger than 9/11, at least. You will then be herded into cities, tracked and traced with cameras in your homes. Your children, who have already been conditioned, the Washington Post admitted, to body modification and piercing, to condition them to accept implantation. The films that are flooding out are conditioning them as well. The children's shows in Canada, like Spy TV, and the movies here, like Spy Kids, are all part of this preparation. It will be made a status symbol to be implanted and this is what the Pentagon says. So this is a tracking matrix grid that's being built by Sun Microsystems and Oracle and others. Oracle, got to go see the oracle. Yes, the Delphi technique. "A Spy Machine of DARPA's Dreams - http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,58909,00.html: "It's a memory aid! A robotic assistant! An epidemic detector! An all-seeing, ultra-intrusive spying program!" "The Pentagon is about to embark on a stunningly ambitious research project" Okay, DARPA had microphones in Austin by the hundreds, five years ago. They announced it after it was already in place. "The Pentagon is about to embark on a stunningly ambitious research project designed to gather every conceivable bit of information about a person's life, index" it and "and make it searchable" "What national security experts and civil libertarians want to know is, why would the Defense Department want to do such a thing?" "The embryonic LifeLog program would dump everything an individual does into a giant database: every e-mail sent or received, every picture taken, every Web page surfed, every phone call made, every TV show watched, every magazine read." "All of this -- and more -- would combine with information gleaned from a variety of sources: a GPS transmitter to keep tabs on where that person went, audio-visual sensors to capture what he or she sees or says, and biomedical monitors to keep track of the individual's health." "This gigantic amalgamation of personal information could then be used to "trace the 'threads' of an individual's life," to see exactly how a relationship or events developed, according to a briefing from the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, LifeLog's sponsor." That's total information awareness now changed to LifeLog. And they meant to call it LifeLog all along, my friends. They already have these systems set up. Bill Clinton gave speeches about homeland security in 1993. I've seen policy papers from twenty years ago calling it homeland security. Lifelog is a life log of everything you've done in your life, a recording of it and a digital psychological algorithm to be set up to tailor advertising the brainwashing systems. It's very serious. This is the end of the species if Satan wins. We must resist. But just be informed that "The Matrix" is a military industrial complex production in every way and as you go deeper down the rabbit hole, each trip until you are in a brain-scrambled position, not even able to resist the New World Order. Of course, the Tavistock Institute and other mind-control facilities have published studies and we have talked about them on air, where if you terrorize a mammal for a certain period, it will become docile and accepting. And they tell you in the film and explain the matrix to you and the New World Order and the Illuminati, so you can be more accepting of it. That you need that choice. That it is something they've got to do due to the rules of God's programming that they are converting and manipulating with their counterfeits. The oldest form of mind control is superstition. The witch doctor knew when the solar or lunar eclipse was coming and he was generally part of a hereditary guild, or kind of your first masonic lodge. And he didn't know why there was an eclipse but he knew when it was coming. And it happened so infrequently that people would forget about it. And he would use that knowledge to shock and amaze members of the tribe - and then get special favors: the best hut, the best women, the best food. And then later, you've got strong men over larger tribes that settled in agrarian societies, that is farming societies. The kings would learn how to have top witch doctors to manipulate and control the public. And that's what you have happening. The globalists know that you are waking up to the fact that there is a New World Order. So they are playing up the psychics and the new age and all these other religions - the establishment Christians, as well. All putting out their propaganda. All putting out their false doctrines. And when you see a society in decline, the empires always use superstition and gladiatorial diversions to divert and distract them. And that is exactly what I saw in "The Matrix." And overall, the globalists in your face submitting its revelation of the method, Illuminati terms, homosexual orgies, and much, much more. This is a corrupting film. And if you tell your kids they can't go because they are too young or the movie is too cool for them, you ought to explain to them that it is something that can degradate them and to suck them into fad system and to control them. It is, my friends, overtly a mind control film. I can authoritatively say that to you here today. And that's all I'm going to say about it. You see we can defeat the New World Order on the basis of the information, on the basis of hard facts with God's help and direction. If they get us off into la-la land and get us off into delusional stuff, we are never going anywhere, my friends Outside links.....
