For those
of you who think Facebook is a medium for freedom of speech and
self-expression, you’re wrong. My page, and others like it, are constantly
being monitored the NSA and fake spy accounts. They continuously remove
pictures from our pages that question the effects our current
political-economic system has on other people, while suspending our posting
privileges for days at a time.
For example, one picture
showed 5 African children drinking muddy water, with the caption “Tell me again
how hard your life is”. It got removed and my posting permissions were
suspended for several days for making a post that violated their community standards.
You read that right. My account was suspended from posting privileges
because I posted a photo of poor children drinking dirty water.
Now how in the world could
this picture “violate community standards”? Another one said “There is more
fruit in a rich man’s shampoo than on a poor man’s plate” and was also taken
down, with posting permissions suspended once again. These photos, as you
can see below, are not explicit in nature. I guess this kind of post
doesn’t coincide with an elitist, capitalist, and materialist philosophy. My
apologies.
I once posted a photo on my
page that questioned the unholy affiliation of religion and the corporate
dollar. It had pictures of massive churches on it, some pictures of the gold
structures in the Vatican,
and then had a crying African child in the bottom right who was clearly
starving to death. The caption read: “If you think God is ok with this (meaning
the luxurious churches) while THIS happens all over the world (pointing to the
starving child), then you have lost your f***ing mind.”
This was removed of course,
for “profanity”. How dare I question the relationship between religion and
economic power? This is not a matter of violating the rules of Facebook, or for
offending people with a bad word. If they wanted to remove pictures for reasons
of profanity or nudity, there are lots of better pages to target than ours.
I’ve done some thinking,
and I’ve come up with this. Conspiracy pages that post controversial content
which fuels debate are allowed. Anti-Illuminatti pages are allowed.
Vulgar pages are allowed. Sex pages posting nude pictures are allowed. So why
are they targeting our pages?
I believe it is because our pages actually fuel
real positive change. They create peace for people. Make people want to help
one another. They make us want to spend less money on crap we don’t need and
more money on soul food and on helping our fellow man. This of course is
detrimental to a capitalistic “you get yours, I’ll get mine” system, which
thrives off of the spending habits of people who are buried head deep in their
own egos.
In fact, just type the word
“f**k” into the search bar, and see how many pages come up with this word in
their title. With all of the pages out there that are filled with sexual
content and profanity, why are they targeting pages like Spirit Science and
Metaphysics, The Mind Unleashed, or Collective Evolution? Why is Facebook
(or the agencies working with Facebook) so concerned about censoring this kind
of material?
Facebook doesn’t care about
porn, conspiracy theories, or profanity. What really threatens the current
paradigm is unity, peace, and love. Peace doesn’t make money. Peace doesn’t
allow you to go to war with other countries for profit. People can argue over
conspiracies and masturbate to nudes all day, but the real problem starts when
people start finding peace within themselves and within one another. What
would happen to the corporations that run this planet if people started helping
one another, stopped spending money on useless materials they don’t need, and
were more excited about living a sustainable lifestyle?
Our world is run by
economic elites that have their own agenda in mind, and Facebook is just
another extension for their schemes. Facebook has billions invested into
it by corporate sponsors and by stock holders and you better believe that these
sponsors have a say in regards to their censorship policies.
“So here’s an idea” said
some corporate snake, “Let’s monitor all the pages that generate large numbers
that are actually inspiring the hearts and minds of people, and we will try to
take them down through the back door by suspending their posting permissions
for posting content that is already on 10,000 other Facebook pages. We’ll leave
porn pages and conspiracy pages alone for the most part, and we’ll try to
target the individuals behind pages that share positive and alternative messages.
Maybe if we watch them closely enough, we can catch them posting something
somewhat controversial and will have a justified excuse to take their page
down.” said the snake. And no, this is not fear-mongering. Here is proof that
is happening.
When pages and people
generate large numbers of traffic, their activity becomes monitored much more
strictly. So if you’re an admin, make sure you do a quick check on the people
trying to add you as a friend. I have had dozens of fake accounts try to add me
as a friend (who just recently made their account, had no display picture, and
no Facebook friends) for the sole purpose of trying to spy on what it is I’m
doing. I still see them on a regular basis. One of them had a
picture of a guy in an army uniform sitting at a school desk. Had zero friends.
Zero facebook activity. Profile made 5 minutes ago. A freshly made, clearly
fake profile made just for me? How nice of you sir. Sure let’s be
friends!
My friend who admins The
Mind Unleashed told me that he has to block friend requests from at least 3 of
these accounts a day. Any admin who admins a spiritual/conscious page
knows exactly what I’m talking about. The Facebook user just happily
scrolls their favourite pages each day, and very few realize that admins who
work really hard day and night on their pages are continuously being banned for
posting pictures of hungry children.
I was talking with someone
at the time who used to work for the US government who told me to be
careful of who I accepted on Facebook, and helped verify which accounts were
spy accounts. He gave me links to types of software that is used by government
officials to do this kind of work, and said that this is the actual full-time
job of some people who work for government. He told me I wasn’t exempt from
surveillance of the NSA just because I am Canadian, and told me not to let them
put fear into the hearts or minds of my followers because fear is what they
want. Fear is what they thrive off it. It’s what gives them power
over us.
Just thought I’d fill the
Facebook world in on this, because I’m sick of having permissions suspended and
posts removed for absolutely no reason. I’m not the only one who can testify to
this. We are being spied on daily, and even now I feel like I am walking on
eggshells writing this. Facebook is a centerpiece of the New World
Order’s agenda that wishes to suppress any worldview that contradicts their
efforts to create a consumerist world of mass surveillance, and you can be
certain they will be reading and reviewing this article as well.
When you start getting
posts of starving children drinking muddy water removed from your Facebook page
for “violating community standards”, you know you’re doing something right. This
is a frequency war, and we’re winning.
FACEBOOK: Painted Ass Pics Are O.K.
But Don't You Dare Talk About GMO's Or We'll Block You
Stories
about Fascist-Book censoring politically vocal users are not uncommon. We see
it all too often. Many people know full well from their personal experiences of
being blocked from using like and share features. I recently experienced such a
usurpation by Facebook of my first amendment rights. I was blocked from posting
status and pictures, as well as even liking and sharing anything at all. This
block lasted for 24 hours and did not only apply to my personal profile, but to
all my pages as well
Fascist-Book
blocked my account for 24 hours because I mentioned GMO’s.

At this point, you may be
wondering exactly what I did to have my account temporarily blocked.
Ishared a picture, NOT
uploaded, but simply SHARED a picture uploaded by a female Facebook user with
whom I have a mutual friend. The picturewas of a female’s nude buttocks that had been painted to look like awatermelon. However,
the picture apparently is not what caught Facebook’s “all seeing eye”. The
mutual friend that I have with the person who uploaded the picture shared it as
well.
It seems
quite obvious that it was not the picture I shared, but the comment I made
about GMO’s that Fascist-Book was eager to delete. (Click the image above to
see the picture I shared)
Screenshot Credit: Marshall D. Culpepper
There was only one
difference, When I shared the image, I added the comment; “I wonder if it’s
GMO???” After the 24 hour block was lifted, I quickly took to my page to
inform my friends what had been done to me.
My online
friend, Josette S, who also shared the same picture (without the GMO
reference) was surprised to hear of my experience. When Josette heard what had
happened to me, she replied:
“Wowwww!! No kidding!
I posted that watermelon butt pic but with no comments.
Nothing happened for me.”
I have been extremely vocal about Genetically Modified Organisms on
Facebook. Consistently criticizing GMO production giant, Monsanto and
many other corporations, it seems Facebook was waiting for any excuse to
silence my anti-GMO cries.
I will not stop exposing evil, however, no matter where it rears it’s ugly head.
Sharing
this picture on Facebook with a reference to GMO’s resulted in my account being blocked for 24 hours by the tyrannical Fascist-Book.

The Intelligence Community and Social Media
I would normally focus on ‘what to do’ in response to such threats,
as is the construct of almost all of my books on privacy and security
issues. However, in the case of someone who is choosing to participate
in social media, the options are few… outside of the obvious choice of
rejecting participation altogether. What few choices may exist beyond that drastic alternative will be mentioned as we go. Generally speaking, my books in
The Professional Paranoid
series do offer useful advice in many of these categories, but were not
written to specifically address social media, which did not yet exist
when they were penned.
fascistbook
1: Marketing
Everyone knows that information on consumers is Gold when it comes to
marketing. Almost all Web sites participate in marketing to one degree
or another, especially if they themselves have something to hawk. But
even ‘non commercial’ sites may participate in one form or another of
advertising, or in information gathering and sharing arrangements with
one or more Web partners. In the old days, information was pretty much
limited to contact information and perhaps the kind of things purchased
from those keeping the information. It’s now way out of hand thanks to
the digital age. Anything about you is fair game if it allows
predictive marketing, which is a fancy term for insuring that the ads you see on the Web are more likely to interest you.
The larger and more powerful the dynamics of the (.com, etc.) and the
greater their resulting Web traffic, the more likely it is they will be
engaged in some form of partnering with other firms to share
information about you. Thus it behoves us to read the privacy statements
of the various sites we visit BEFORE we engage with the content at the
site. Few of us do, of course. Those of us who do, often wish we hadn’t,
because it unmercifully kills countless brain cells trying to translate
lawyer-speak to plain English. You can lose a first-born if you don’t
do it right.
The following is a collection of some scarier parts of Facebook’s
privacy policy and user agreements (each of which consists of many
pages). An ellipse (…) or double tilde (~~) means I have snipped non
relevant passages. Bold text highlights a potentially problematic issue.
Parens contain material added by me:
- For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like
photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following
permission, subject to your privacyand application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License).
- We receive data about you whenever you interact with Facebook,
such as when you look at another person’s profile, send someone a
message, search for a friend or a Page, click on an ad, or purchase
Facebook Credits.
- When you post things like photos or videos on Facebook, we may receive additional related data (or metadata), such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video.
- We receive data from the computer, mobile phone or other device you
use to access Facebook. This may include your IP address, location, the
type of browser you use, or the pages you visit. For example, we may get your GPS location so we can tell you if any of your friends are nearby.
- We receive data whenever you visit a game, application, or website that uses Facebook Platform or visit a site with a Facebook feature (such as a social plugin).
This may include the date and time you visit the site; the web address,
or URL, you’re on; technical information about the IP address, browser
and the operating system you use; and, if you are logged in to Facebook, your User ID.
- Sometimes we get data from our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that helps us (or them) deliver ads, understand online activity, and generally make Facebook better. For example, an advertiser may tell us how you responded to an ad on Facebook or on another site in order to measure the effectiveness of – and improve the quality of – those ads.
- Games, applications and websites can serve ads directly to you if they have your User ID.
(Ergo, do not stay logged into Facebook when you surf if you do not
wish your User ID logged, which is exactly what points directly to YOU).
- Advertisers (and Facebook) sometimes place cookies on your computer
in order to make their ads more effective. Cookies are small pieces of
data that we store on your computer, mobile phone or other device… we
may use them to know ~~ when you are interacting with our advertising or
Platform partners.
- We may also ask advertisers to serve ads to
computers, mobile phones or other devices with a cookie placed by
Facebook… You can always remove or block cookies (such as by using the
settings in your browser), but it may affect your ability to use
Facebook.
- Sometimes we allow advertisers to target a category of user,
like a “moviegoer” or a “sci-fi fan.” We do this by bundling
characteristics that we believe are related to the category. For
example, if a person “likes” the “Star Trek” Page and mentions “Star
Wars” when they check into a movie theater, we may conclude that this
person is likely to be a sci-fi fan.
- We sometimes allow businesses or anyone else to sponsor stories like the ones that show up in your News Feed, subject to the audience set for that story… Your friends will see these stories even if you have opted out of the “Show my social actions in Facebook Ads” setting.
- We use the information we receive about you in connection
with the services and features we provide to you and other users like
your friends, the advertisers that purchase ads on the site, and the
developers that build the games, applications, and websites you use.
fascistbook
2. Beliefs
Consider that every time you post something… every time you ‘like’ or ‘share’ something… you are making a statement about
what you believe,
or at least what you believe to be valuable or important. It is not
about ‘likes,’ it is about beliefs. Yet Facebook does not have a good
way of looking at that aspect of information beyond any marketing
related elements which may be present, because it is not quite part of
their data construct.
However, the intelligence community DOES have a way of looking at it.
Be it real (like a political stance) or esoteric (like spiritual
matters), you reveal much about your belief structure in every such
action. It can become very useful in spying operations because it helps
paint the psychological profile of the individual, which is actually its
own threat better described below. But it also can be used to flag
their attention.
Everyone has heard about NSA’s ECHELON
monitoring system
which essentially seeks to monitor 100% of global communications on the
lookout for useful intelligence. It is essentially an automated
key-word sensitive system that electronically listens into information
on the fly looking for a set key word or phrase, or perhaps a target
audio sequence or voice pattern. Thus it can scan effortlessly for
utterances of words like ‘bomb’ or ‘assassinate’ as well as for sounds
associated with specific activities or individuals of interest. On any
match, the entire communication is recorded for human examination.
We can debate the legality all we want, but Congress has elected to
ignore any violation of Constitutional rights represented by the
warrantless intrusions which happen by the hundreds or even hundreds of
thousands every hour. Worse, it seems, the system can be politically and
corporately aimed, it being discovered that ECHELON was being used for
industrial spying on behalf of U.S. corporations who were heavy financial contributors to the
Democratic National Committee. As defining clues go, that is huge one, the
quintessential essence of a fascist government (see my blog
33 Axioms of Fascism) being to function as a
corporate state.
But the point is, a social media being watched by the intelligence
community can easily be made to work the same way. In point of fact, it
can be done without the permission of the social media, though it is
greatly facilitated by such cooperation. Every post, every like, every
share… the content is all monitored against keywords and then shuffled
off for human review if deemed appropriate. Once flagged, you become a
person of interest for possible political spying, or even political
targeting. You can find yourself on a list… but will more likely be
unaware of it for some time.
fascistbook
3. Contacts
You are indeed who you know to the intelligence community. I assure
you that guilt by association is the number one guideline in the
overzealous world of counterintelligence, counterinsurgency, and
counterterrorism (what FBI, CIA, etc., do to protect against espionage,
etc.). Thus if you have among your social media ‘friends’ just one
person who is suspected of having involvement with what can be loosely
(very loosely) defined as a ‘suspect,’ then you, too, are
automatically suspect.
In fact, FBI and CIA, and others, use ‘rings of influence’ as an
excuse to spy on hundreds of people where only one actual suspect may
exist. A suspect, and anyone the suspect is in contact with (one ring),
and anyone the contacts are in turn in contact with (second ring), and
anyone they are in contact with (third ring), and so one, for some
arbitrarily set limit as to the number of rings… anyone within those
rings is also suspect, and fervently spied upon on the presumption of
likely guilt.
So abusive has this policy been, that just dialing a wrong phone
number can get you involved in a ring, and has in more than one case
caused innocent persons to be hauled in for relentless questioning and
put under a five-year full surveillance net (the standard minimum
‘investigation’ period for FBI types). Spy agencies LOVE this system
because they get to report to Congress that they are investigating on a
given quantity (untold tens of thousands) of ‘suspects’ to justify their
massive budgets, and to paint the problem as being bigger than it
really is in order to justify requests for more abusive power and more
exotic spy technology.
Thus the problem spirals out of control based merely on conjecture
that person A who knows person B who knows person C who knows someone
who MIGHT be a criminal, might therefore also be a criminal. So, if you
only have a few very close personal friends on Facebook, you probably
won’t be targeted for this reason, but if you have 1,000 more casual
followers, I can guarantee you a significant chance exists that at least
one of those people is in a ring, somewhere – and therefore,
so are you, and all of them, too.
So if this makes you afraid to read anyone’s politically incorrect viewpoints,
your fear is justified… and is also proof positive that
you are a victim of a fascist police state where such fear is an element of political control. Welcome to the New World Order. But not to worry…
they fear you more than you fear them. Keep in mind that lists are meaningless if everyone is on the list.
We outnumber them millions to one.
fascistbook
4. Profiling
We hear a lot about profiling as being a ‘no no’ when Police use it
to hassle someone because they have the ‘profile’ deemed to increase the
likelihood that a person may have a given criminal involvement. For
example, if you are stopped on a North South freeway near the Mexican
border and the cop sees a ton of McDonald’s trash in your car, you ‘fit’
the profile to be a drug runner. Thus some family man who regularly
stops with the kids for Happy Meals and just happens not to keep his car
clean, can be hassled to manipulate him into a search of the car.
The unfortunate thing about profiling, is that it tends to get you
identified as (something you are not) based merely on the initial
suspicion, and thus you get added to a list just as if guilty, and that
tends to lead to all manner of problems down the road.
Some lists,
therefore, are completely bogus, such as the infamous ‘non existent’ No
Fly List, where anyone with the same or similar name will rue the day
they bought an airline ticket. Profiling is wrong, as are target lists,
but we can see why they might want to use them. The problem is, they
don’t ‘use them,’ they
abuse them, and thereby abuse everyone so identified.
The intelligence community profiles all the time, and because the
victims never know about it, they get away with it. But they also engage
in another form of profiling – the psychological profile. On the
assumption you do get targeted for human review of your on-line
activities, I can assure you that a psychological profile will be part
of their information gathering goal. Called
Q-Methodology when
first developed, computer analysis has advanced to the point that a
good psychological profile will enable the predicting of how you would
react to any given specific situation. In reverse manner, should they
desire a given reaction, then can computer what specific situation would
most likely generate it, and then work to create that situation by
means of dirty tricks (its own section, below).
In my Professional Paranoid
series
of ‘how to’ books on protecting privacy and security, I spend a great
deal of time on this topic, and how to thwart the psychological profile.
Thwarting it is very important if you are truly targeted, because any
use of it against you can have devastating results, if that is their
intention. And in final summary of the threat, it should perhaps also be
mentioned that profiling (the sum total thereof), can also predict your
future actions and activities (also a threat detailed below), often
useful for setting up or arranging advanced surveillance or other
operations against you as you wend your way through life. Very dangerous
to the politically incorrect among us (e.g., anyone who thinks for
themselves and expresses opinions contrary to main stream sheeple).
fascistbook
5. Tracking
There
are two kinds of tracking which might come to mind. Certainly, social
media can track your Web activity, as seen in the first section on
Marketing. But the greater threat to the politically incorrect is
real-World tracking in real time. Think about it: the latest additions
to Facebook have been all about tracking:
You
now have the ability to ‘tell your friends’ where you are at any given
moment, and what you are doing. OK, but you are also telling Big
Brother. The same provision now lets you say who you are with. So now,
Big Brother can, if having profiles and data files on you and your
friends, along with information about the location, deduce WHY you are
there and what you are potentially doing which may be completely other
than you have described. Thus if you were putting out false information
to conceal some other activity, they will likely figure it out. On the
other hand, if you really are doing the benign thing, they will still be
suspicious you may be doing some less ‘nice’ thing.
But the problem is far more serious than just what you volunteer,
because the investigative agencies partnering with social media can do
so much more. If you have linked your cell phone or portable laptop to
your social media, they can know EXACTLY where you are at ALL TIMES
those items are with you and powered up and connected to a network.
Remember, in the first threat, above, we learned that Facebook knows
your GPS position in such cases. Further, even if your cell phone is not
GPS equipped (the newer it is, the more likely it is to use it, even if
not advertised as a ‘feature’), or you are using a wifi connection on a
laptop, your location can be ascertained through information inherent
in the network’s connection with you. Everyone has heard of cell phone
tower triangulation, for instance — which was used to capture O.J.
Simpson while he was driving on the highway and using his cell phone.
Again, in my Professional Paranoid
series, I offer solutions and advice on how to protect against or reduce this kind of threat.
fascistbook
6. Predictives
We’ve touched on this in the prior dialogs. But the various aspects
discussed can be combined in ways which amplify the abilities beyond
those already mentioned. Remember the
Total Information Awareness Office, renamed
Terrorist Information Awareness Office once it was
revealed
that it represented wholesale spying by the military on every citizen’s
every ‘transaction’? They tried to conceal a lot of sins by renaming
things and altering artworks, but the truth got out, anyway, thanks to
yours truly, and
others.
A transaction meant not just purchases, but any event where trackable
information could be acquired by use of RFID chips (Radio Frequency
Identification Device) which are to be found on virtually every product
sold… thereby meaning that ANYTHING on your person, including your
clothes, can be used to identify you by
means
of an electrical scan. So just passing through a doorway or turnstile
could be rendered a transaction by simply placing a covert sensor to
read the RFIDs as they pass by. I’ve lectured on this (
video).
I bring this up only because TIAO’s chief tool was an escalated
version of profiling software employed by CIA. Based on the sum grand
total history of your transactions, it can predict future transactions.
When and where you will go, and what you will do, and why. By
additionally interfacing the sum total of one’s social media activity,
and general Web activities, this ability is amplified many times over.
And don’t you believe it for a minute that TIAO is after terrorists. WE
are the ONLY terrorists the system is designed to monitor. While they
might actually be able to net a terrorist eventually by use of this
system, that represents less than 1/100th of one percent of the people
it will be spying on. It is a tool intended to maintain political
control,
only.
But more than all this, TIAO’s thrust is also to predict what you are
thinking about and planning to do which they might object to seeing
come to pass. Terrorist events, sure. But why stop there? If they see
you might be likely to organize a local protest when the next
international financial summit is scheduled to be held in your home
town, don’t be surprised to find unmarked black vans trolling your
street and sings that things have been moved in your home. I assure you
they are more likely to take action to stop that than to stop some guy
from blowing up his underwear in a public venue.
fascistbook
7. Reward/Punishment
When you join in a social media you can expect that certain actions
will be tracked and have certain consequences. You will be rewarded for
‘good actions’ as judged by the firm running it, things which represent
using the system in ways which generate useful information about you. So
if you post, share, or like something, it is useful and appreciated,
and can result in subtle rewards, such as promoting you to others who
then may invite you to friend them. Usually, the rewards are so subtle
you don’t see them. Punishment, on the other hand, can be quite visible.
There are indeed actions they would prefer you not engage in.
Inviting too many strangers to join your social network, for instance.
Why is that a no no? Because to track information about you and your
activities, as far as the intelligence community is concerned, is far
more manageable and meaningful if they know that those people on your
friends list are truly your friends. Remember the rings when you
consider that. Punishment usually comes in the form of warning messages
or even temporary inability to exercise certain options, typically with
threats that your continued use of the network is in jeopardy. But as we
will see in yet another section (threat 10), it can be far more serious
than just that.
fascistbook
8. Spying/Dataveillance
Well, of course, that’s what this whole article is
about,
isn’t it? But it is listed as its own threat because when the
intelligence community is involved, there are whole new levels of spying
which can result when their snooping of your activities is determined
to make you a person of interest (your politically incorrectness).
Depending on why they take an interest, all manner of escalation is
possible.
Dataveillance is the soft core spying
on a soft target, the relatively easy access through back doors to all
your personal computer files everywhere of importance. Banks and
commercial accounts, insurance companies, medical records, law
enforcement, IRS, etc. All of it can be compromised by cyber warriors
to one degree of penetration or another. Then we have the
hard core variety:
Your phones, car, home, and workplace could be bugged, with or
without a warrant. There are whole new kinds of warrants which have been
added to the arsenal in post 9-11 hysteria which essentially makes the
word meaningless. There is a
FISA (the
so-called Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act,
which really means DOMESTIC intelligence) Warrant which is issued by a
secret judge in a secret court and allows the government cart blanch
surreptitious entry into your home, wholesale spying to include cameras
in your bedroom, and accessing and taking whatever they wish from your
home without your knowledge… and putting things back, if they wish,
perhaps even planting evidence since no one is looking. And there is the
new ‘roving warrant’ which allows them to target one person and then
another, principally through the rings phenomenon earlier discussed. And
there are now whole new classes of warrantless actions which are deemed
‘probable cause’ justifications by Presidential order, completely
bypassing Congressional law and constitutional considerations
altogether.
If they are going to do
any of that, you can also bet they
will consider a more traditional full surveillance net, which means
surveillance posts nearby to watch your entrances, windows, monitor your
conversations, who comes and goes, and record everything. You will be
followed, perhaps by car, by foot, and even in the air. That can mean
aircraft or even micr0-sized robotic camera ‘toy’ planes that can be
small enough to fit in your palm. You probably won’t see them, if used.
Then there is smart dust, which are literally small enough to free float in the air (again, my
lecture
topic), and which work in ‘swarms’ or ‘hives’ to collect and relay
information by laser beam to a central monitoring point. Each little
‘mote’ is designed to do a single specific task, but as a collective,
they can provide information as useful as if having someone standing
there. This is the kind of technology I lecture on, and I assure you it
is far more capable than the sci-fi like description implies. Once more,
I do write about all these surveillance concerns in my books, and how to deal with them.
fascistbook
9. Trading
I’ve already written in part one of this post about interagency
trading of spy files, using as example the well-known case involving the
Anti Deflamation League,
B’nai B’rith (both arms of
Mossad with respect to spying operations),
CIA, and the
Police Criminal Intelligence Divisions of
San Francisco,
Portland,
and four other cities. Tens of thousands of citizens of the United
States who were targeted for political spying to include surveillance,
financial snooping, and personal matters such as friends, beliefs, etc…
much like we’ve been talking about, all along.
Agencies all-too often illegally collect and trade files like this at
all levels.
Local/State agencies share with other locals, federal agencies with
other feds, and with locals, and internationally. What one agency is
forbidden by law or charter to do, another might be willing to do in
exchange for like favors.
Reasons for spying are moot. In point of fact, such spying may uncover wrongdoing and
do absolutely nothing about it, even if as serious as murder. Agencies
simply want information that may be useful later (perhaps as a
blackmail tool), either because a given person might come under scrutiny
(remember the rings), or because they may be seen as a useful resource
for oblique reasons, such as where they work, or a special skill.
Too, I’ve mentioned in other articles that CIA maintains two fronts
pretending to be marketing research firms (and more), one in the U.S.,
and one in Europe. These firms,
Locate Plus, and
Metro Risk Management, are part of the 1,001 CIA fronts and infiltrated entities I list in
The Professional Paranoid Defensive Field Guide. They

they have and will sell information (a marketing information arm, and
an investigative information arm) to anyone on 98% of U.S. citizens (and

Excuse me, but I would raze Langley to the ground for this one sin
alone, were I President. But these firms are only symptomatic. Social
media has revolutionized this aspect of the problem, allowing any agency
integrated into the machinery of a Facebook or the like a superlative
access to information it can barter to other agencies or sell to fund
their illegal black operations being run ‘off the books.’

10. Targeting/Dirty Tricks
O.K., so you made for yourself a place on someone’s watch list AND
you are ‘hip’ to it. You probably don’t like it, and figure you will let
people know about it and complain. So you actually dare to post
something ‘offensive’ to the system… and I mean by ‘system,’ either the
social media folks (verbally assail their policies) or the government or
one of its agencies (verbally assail their activities). In other words,
you wax even more politically incorrect. Been there, done that.
And what I can tell you is that it certainly feels like targeting and
dirty tricks result. For example, I and many of my activist friends on
Facebook have had many situations where a negative post seems to have
resulted in some form of punitive response such as described above (7),
and below, next. But it can easily go beyond that, especially if at the
hands of a spy agency or the military, who have whole armies of cyber
warriors at their beck and call, all ready, willing, and able to serve
up any mischief deemed useful.
My experience in the hours and days following the posting of part one of FascistBook:
Within hours of the blog post and subsequent Facebook/Twitter posts
that it had been posted, every Facebook post, share, or like action
suddenly required me to answer the silly little pop ups with the
scrambled text ‘security phrases.’ Six times in a row, until I became so
frustrated that I logged out and gave up for the evening. Normally,
these pop up very randomly and infrequently. A normal user might have it
happen once a month.If you are an activist, it seems like several times
a week. If you are like me, every single transaction, apparently. And
not just any scrambled text. Virtually every one of them was completely
unreadable, and required as many as six attempts to figure out what they
wanted me to type in.
Within one day, which was the next day I logged in, the matter had
escalated. Now I had to re enter my email address and password with each
post, like, or share. Again, I logged off.
When I came back the second
day, things seemed back to normal by comparison. I was still had to log
in multiple times and was getting a lot of pup up scrambles to solve,
but they were easier and far less frequent events to deal with. Perhaps
they backed off because my Facebook posts were mainly about this
experience. I don’t know. But additionally, now my posts would not take.
There would be a kind of ‘hang fire’ where after I hit return, the
window stared at me as if I had done nothing. No error message, and no
way to redo. Had to log off and back on, and re enter my post. Three or
four times per post.
On day four, my browser suddenly started telling me when it fired up
that in order to see this page (my home page) I needed to enter my .api
user name and password. Mind you, there is no such thing on my computer
or associated with my Web activities. Additionally, a second pop up
informs me that my browser is not compatible with a particular function I
again have nothing to do with in my computing experience. As I work on
this post, my browser will simply crash without warning even in the
middle of a period of no activity (no action to trigger it). About every
ten minutes, on the mark — at least until I typed in this part, after
which, it seems to have ceased. Clearly reason to wonder if some cyber
warriors might have been having some fun at my expense.
Add to this the fact that in attempting to add new friends at
Facebook, I am warned that ‘I am going to fast’ and my ability to add
friends is being curtailed for a week as punishment. Gee, that’s funny,
because I’m talking three people, here, and I normally add up to twenty
at a time or more without such warnings. And one final thing to note…
select of my posts seem to have vanished. But of course, none of this
proves anyone at Facebook or in government is doing anything in
retaliation. That’s the beauty of their system; you can’t prove anything
if you are being targeted. All you can do is bitch about it. Guess I’m
being rather bitchy, eh?
Just another fun day on
FBIbook, I guess. Please feel free to share your own experiences here using the comments.
But this is nothing. If you really do something to upset
these folks, you can count on real-world targeting and dirty tricks.
They could start messing with your financial situation, your job, or
start altering digital information on you such that you are suddenly a
dead beat in arrears on your mortgage and car payments, find your
insurance policies cancelled, and that you suddenly have a Police record
a mile long and outstanding wants and warrants. You’ve seen it all
before in the
movie,
Enemy of the State.
And I must tell you that in the past I have been victim of even more
unusual antics, which I fortunately overcame and which was the basis of
my first book. It is what made me the politically incorrect person I am today.

Cause and Effect, Personal Strategies
Where does all this leave YOU. It is a matter of cause and effect, I
suppose. If you are just another dumbed down citizen happy with
mainstream media and government explanations about major events other
people tend to call ‘conspiracies’ and ‘cover ups,’ then you are not
generating a ’cause’ for which to worry about any ‘effect’ of government
spying. You are, instead, simply another idiot who things that ‘if you
have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear from government
spying.’ Excuse me, but if that’s the way you feel then get rid of your
shades and blinds and let the government watch your wife changing
clothes, because they are engaging in that kind of activity against
people they THINK have something to hide. And given how loosely they
define things now days, the likelihood of YOU getting on one of their
suspect lists grows daily.
But if, on the other hand, you are already politically incorrect,
then it is your precise situation which should be analyzed regularly for
any signs of spying or targeting. It will be subtle if such evidence
exists, because they do not want you to know they are there in the
woodwork like so many termites. If you do not know how to spot the signs
of being followed, surveilled, or of having your home entered and
snooped, being bugged, etc.,
then you need my books.
If you do already know these things, or are simply thinking there is
even the slightest clue they are true in your case, then you need to be
emailing me for some free consultation:
proparanoid at comcast (net).
Regardless of where you fall in the above spectrum of possibilities,
even if one of the idiots, you need to have a personal strategy in place
about how you use your social media. There are simply some things you
should not be posting, liking, or sharing, or saying, unless you also
are willing to deal with the consequences, or have a strategy in place
to thwart them. That, however, is a far more complex dialog than will
fit this space. It is the kind of dialog that involves a lot of
variables and which is best addressed on a personal basis… so go ahead
and email me
if that sounds like you.
