Russia Insider We're from the government, and we're here to help Originally appeared at New Eastern Outlook Few Americans know what they have lost. Few understand to what extent they have been victimized by something far beyond a police state, far beyond simple surveillance, far beyond the obvious loss or rights and privacy that some accepted so readily less than two decades ago in order to “be safe.” At the center of it all is the Department of Homeland Security, a shadowy bureaucracy tasked with examining every aspect of the lives of every American and producing a “threat profile” using a “predictive algorithm. “ While Americans worry about their gun purchases being tracked and cataloged, they have no idea what has already been done and there’s over 700,000 government “agents,” from border control to “TSA” to local police including 41 “other” agencies of which only 16 have recognizable acronym titles anyone has ever heard of. Americans know their email and phone calls are listened to but what they don’t know is how social scientists at a dozen universities, working for agencies like the DHS, Department of Defense, NSA and DARPA have learned to handle “big data.” “Big Data” is the bulk of information that is “out there,” pulled from the internet, stolen from the airwaves, including Wi-Fi intercepts, VOIP or internet based mobile phone networks, satellite and cable television viewing patterns and social network patterns. To this frightening “big data” base is added commercial credit reports, credit card and banking transactions now simply for the taking under counter-terrorism “money laundering” laws and every purchase, every foot, every mile of travel while in possession or accompanied by a “navigation device” or “location service” enable phone. Americans once felt safe because they thought the government would never be able to handle tens of billions of phone calls, a trillion Facebook posts and billions of doctor’s bills and prescription medication purchases. They were wrong, thanks to the world of super computing and the endless billions spent on hiring the best and brightest of those Edward Snowden has tried so hard to warn us about. What do they know? “They,” and we will get to who “they” are, know everything. They can’t legally get your medical history but their access to the drugs you buy and the doctors you see, including the background and specialty of those providers, tells them everything about you, whether you are sick, whether you are receiving psychiatric care, whether you are pregnant and quite probably who the father is, even when you may well not know it yourself. If only I were kidding. This is how “big data” works. They see where you drive, how often your car is maintained, when you get up, when you go to sleep and nearly everything you do in-between. What does this really mean, why would they want this? We ask this ourselves, we only know they are not only getting this information but they are putting it out there, available to agencies of all kinds, not just the folks who search your bags at the airport or that customs agent who looks at you funny when you claim you have “nothing to declare.” The problem is, they don’t just stop at collection, which you always knew they were doing. Where the greatest strides in “big data” are is in social networks. Their goal, based on specialized predictive software, is to not only know what you think but to figure out what you will do. They want to know, we believe, because they may well be planning, perhaps not too far in the distant future, to stop you from doing what you do or even more likely take action, perhaps violent action, because of how you think or feel. This is exactly the kind of information that the FBI and CIA are getting now, information being churned out, distributed around, and hung around your neck under the title of “predictive threat profile.” It isn’t just chemtrail and GMO types or “anti-vacc” folks, though those are at the top of the list. Some of the predictive profiles are targeting potential community leaders or “activist types” for potential mass detention. All of it is real, it exists now, and a generation of Americans who equate “patriotism” with the moral flexibility typically attributed to Nazi concentration camp guards stand ready in the wings, hundreds of thousands of them, to drop the hammer as it were. Americans did it to themselves. When American drive cars, they are subjected to “check lane” searches where they are questioned, “grilled,” insulted and even threatened. Americans who own boats are regularly subjected to “safety inspections” that entail drug sniffing dogs and hours of waiting while explosive detection swabs are driven to distant labs for analysis. Yes, this really happens. Americans who travel by air see their bags opened, their children’s “private areas” poked and patted down, and more recently, their electronic devices not only powered up but are demanded to surrender their passwords so their email can be read. The same Americans who occupied Iraq and Afghanistan, the torturers, the idiots who threw hand grenades at groups of school children as they sped by in their Strykers and Humvees, the contractors who cavorted with “dancing boys” by the light of the moon, these are the chosen who now rule America. What do we mean by rule? Let us be very clear about this, there has been a gross deterioration of human rights, of rule by law and even of civility and common sense in America since 9/11. When a hapless congress and a supreme court long bought off by organized crime rubber stamped draconian legislation legalizing torture, suspending habeas corpus and providing blanket funding for a decade of drug and oil wars, the few that spoke out were sorry they did. Long forgotten are the dozens of generals fired or retired or the journalists who were blackballed as “terrorist sympathizers” or “anti-Semites.” A generation of Americans, perhaps thanks to alternative media and even the candidacy of Donald Trump, are beginning to awaken to at least part of the problem. Still, too few and standing up to police shootings and fewer still are concerned that two million Americans are incarcerated in dungeon-like conditions, many for drug or economic crimes, imprisoned for profit and placed in the hands of “corrections corporations” by a “bought and paid for” justice system. Martin Niemoeller said it best: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. I tend to think of Niemoeller when I am told to fear Russia and China or to live in fear of Iran’s imaginary nuclear weapons program. When you look at what is being done, what has already been done by “big data,” the “bread and circuses” phony elections, the imaginary terror threats and the endless hysteria drummed up by the media becomes clear. What has to be recognized and identified is the “they,” those empowered to know all, and eventually, we fear, “drop the hammer.” Who is “they?” To answer that we only need to look in our own hearts, find those dark recesses of ignorance and fear that a lifetime of learning and enlightenment is intended to elevate us from. From there, we look to those who reject those values, human decency, understanding and compassion. These are the blank eyes you look into, far too often, the eyes of what America has done to itself. Poster Comment: We're from the government, and we're here to help Well, at least they have a sense of humor.

John Tosh • Russia may yet save the USA from the CIA. McCain represents the old dry ideas of the Central Intelligence Agency. Full of cloak and dagger nonsense similar to the James Bond movies they grew up watching. Not realizing the new world has no place for such nonsense. The new world has internet access up to the jungles of Africa or the Amazon. The new world has access to thousands of books or materials just by accessing the internet. Nothing is so special any more. The Chinese can copy or produce anything they want without getting "permission" from the old dry men of the West! Can somebody please save the USA from the Central Intelligence Agency before they sink it? There are bigger problems ahead yet we have the same group of demented morons running the affairs of the US. They have failed in almost every single endeavor regardless of the fact many other people within the US have better plans than the CIA. The CIA uses brute force (murders) to push forward its useless policies and in the end the country has steadily declined while other countries have been rising. Russia is rising, China is rising, even African countries are doing better. The USA on the other hand has been degenerating year in year out. Even a child can tell that the USA is not doing any better. Is it not time to change those at the top? The real government of the USA has been the CIA for over 50 years now. Those fifty years have seen a steady decline in US infrastructure, power, wealth, morals, family values....etc one can go on and on. It is obvious the only thing the USA can do now is get rid of the Central Intelligence Agency for good in order to cure itself of this destructive cancer. A cancer of lunatics.+6 TellTheTruth-2 /John Tosh • Don't forget to include the Zionist neoCONs that LOVE the CIA and BIG BROTHER.+5 Garth Brooks /John Tosh • CIA is like the rest of the Federal government: Totally kosher. The CIA is an organ of the Global Jewish Nation, just like the State Department. TellTheTruth-2 • Americans are languishing in a surveillance hell of their own making <--- not of our own making; but, the making of political Zionism which is the tool being used to create a One World Government run from Tel Aviv. There is nothing they would like more than for the USA and Russia to destroy themselves in a world war. Red Tick Alert • I would like to tell a TRUE, FACTUAL story that happened about 10 years ago; just to show how bizarre / Orwellian the World has become. Firstly a few facts .... I run a small Company that supplies equipment World wide (well certain parts) including at the time Iran (there were no sanctions on Iran at that time). As stated, there were no sanctions per se but we had to obtain government approval in the form of licenses to supply the equipment on a job by job basis (what a ball acher !!). ..... I flew to the UK (London) to meet the Iranian Clients with my colleague for a few days to sign a new deal and whilst sitting in a hotel on a quiet late morning drinking coffee and blah blah; we suddenly saw movement all around us; alleged hotel staff surrounding us with large plants and some sort of aesthetically pleasing screens.... we thought nothing of it at the time although it was very strange. Anyway 15 minutes later; our Bank Manager called me on my mobile. .... now let me put this into context..... I had never spoken to him before in my life as I have a nominated person to speak to in the Company; I honestly did not know him from Adam.... he called me after 10 years of us dealing with HSBC (the first call EVER to me personally) and when I excused myself from the discussion with the Iranian's; I went outside and had a conversation (and a cigarette) - guess what the first words he said to me were (NO - not that I am a t0sser) it was " I am sorry but if you deal anymore with Iran; we shall not only cut your credit line, we shall delete your account and pass this is on to the authorities"............... I repeat WE HAD GOVERNMENT and CoC approval and official license to export O&G equipment to Iran. True story and on that day I turned into a tin-foil wearing Kn0b.+3 Harold Knevens/ Red Tick Alert • That was a very, very Jewish threat you received. Lot's more here in this MUST READ CLASSIC by U.S. Congressman: "They Dare to Speak Out" Caldera • I sit here in disbelief, bewildered, not about total spectrum dominance, PRISM and Boundless Informant, I am unable to understand how people can be affected with such cognitive dissonance. They know it's bad, they know they are being spied on but they continue to complete the digital profile willingly. Are this many people on the planet absolute idiots? We are with Snowden and others screaming this from the roof tops. Wake up!! As the article states, they brought it on themselves, at this juncture I doubt anyone in the US right now would ever stand a chance of organizing big enough protests and pulling off a regime change in Washington. They are too far gone, and the police and national guard are training to take on their own populace. This is very clear and always fails if history is to be repeated. The US will collapse, it will happen, and before they do they will scorch the Earth. If they cannot have it no-one else will because it will be a humiliating defeat. THOMAS W ADAMS • Let's cut to the chase.The United States and Israel have and are creating all the wars and destructions, the mutilations of whole nations of peoples, whilst their own territories are living in peace. This situation will not change until their own peoples and territories are forced to experience all of the same trauma's and tribulations. It seems to me that the World is slowly coming to this conclusion, and it appears the U.S. and Israel are driving the World into World War three. They should be careful what they wish for, because I believe, their respective territories will become the main targets; the logic of this is simple, to kill a snake one must cut off it's head. Israel will become a pile of rubble, together with all the concomitant sacrifice around them, and the U.S. will be rendered to a dysfunctional ungovernable basket case. This will happen because the "World"of weapons now includes many unknowns, in terms of technology, detections and deployments. For instance, the U.S. is arming all the dupe Nations of Europe and Israel, but all of that will be too far away to be able to defend the U.S.. It looks to me as if the U.S. is digging it's own grave wearing a blindfold. Red Mann • The ameriiiiSCUM SHAM-0C-RACY "government really has been totally "bought' by AIPAC. PERIOD. To the point where the country's NEW name is......... The jew-nited Fraudulent FASCIST states of TORTURE, MEDICAL, and MILITARY TERROR! isra-HELL RULES the ameriiiiSCUM government at this time. Russia knows this as FACT. Doctor Who? Here is a photo that illustrates America's descent into madness. May 1961 President John F. Kennedy: We will put Men on the Moon. May 2016 President Barack Obama: We will put Men in Womens Restrooms.
We live in a police state. They are no better off in Russia though. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
