They Can Already Hack the iPhone — FBI’s Public Display is Propaganda to Sell You the Police State

The Surveillance State is working towards ever more access to what was once considered private information. Using the excuse of “Terrorism” and ensuring the public’s safety to intrude upon the public’s privilege of privacy. In post 9-11 America you no longer have any reasonable expectation of privacy, according to the self proclaimed “emergency powers” of the U.S.Govt. And as long as (You) the public allows these abuses to occur it will only get worse,until the notion of Privacy is nothing more than a long forgotten memory.

The apparent battle between Apple and the FBI at least tells us that the post-Snowden privacy debate is still alive. The subject of the controversy is an iPhone belonging to one of the alleged San Bernardino shooters, and the FBI did not choose this case randomly. The F.B.I. are insistent that Apple should allow them access to the Iphone’s Data and private messages. The DOJ wants Apple to build a backdoor into the device so that it can bypass the company’s state of the art encryption apparatus and access information and evidence related to the case.At least, that’s the premise presented to the public. As we are learning, the FBI and the federal government have a far more comprehensive end-game in mind than merely bolstering the prosecution of this one case.

F.B.I. Director James Comey appears quite earnest about protecting Americans from the Evils of “Homegrown Terrorism’

“Fourteen people were slaughtered and many more had their lives and bodies ruined,” “We owe them a thorough and professional investigation under law.+
We simply want the chance, with a search warrant, to try to guess the terrorist’s passcode without the phone essentially self-destructing and without it taking a decade to guess correctly,”“That’s it. We don’t want to break anyone’s encryption or set a master key loose on the land.”

Comey said the phone’s data might have information leading them to other terrorists, even though indications are that the two shooters were self-radicalized.

As the surveillance state was met with fierce resistance for trying to force companies to install “backdoors” to their encryption, it was looking for other ways to gain the access it desires.

A secret “decision memo” was recently leaked to the press which details a meeting of the National Security Council that took place last November. The meeting of senior officials provided a framework for attempts to work around the “backdoor” issue, and shows that agencies already possess a deep understanding of tech companies’ encryption.

However, what if this debate is actually a sideshow? What if the government already has the ability to hack into the iPhone? There is the matter,not widely reported in the media of the F.B.I. has already had partial access to the phone in question and had actually changed the password of the phones Icloud Data account.
According to N.S.A. whistleblower Edward Snowden, The F.B.I. already has other methods to access the info from the iphone, without forcing Apple to install a backdoor into the phone and thereby setting a dangerous precedent.

The problem is, the FBI has other means… They told the courts they didn’t, but they do,” Snowden said during a virtual talk hosted by Johns Hopkins University. “The FBI does not want to do this.”

Snowden tweeted last week that “crucial details [of the case] are being obscured by officials.” Specifically, he made the following trenchant points:

If the surveillance state is to have any hope of gaining their vaunted “backdoor” into the electronic devices of everyone, then preying on the fear of terrorism has the biggest chance of success.

If the FBI prevails in this case, the ramifications won’t be limited to smartphones. It will set a precedent for the government legally conscripting any and every entity they desire for the purposes of citizen surveillance and metadata collection.

WikiLeaks: NSA Spied on World Leaders on Behalf of Big Oil

According to documents published by WikiLeaks this week, the NSA spied on multiple world leaders on behalf of oil companies. The documents revealed that the NSA spied on the private meetings of world leaders such as UN chief Ban Ki-moon, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and other European politicians.

The discussion between Ban Ki-moon and Merkel was involving environmental pollution and the impact that fossil fuels had on the environment, and according to the WikiLeaks release, the NSA was listening in for the purpose of collecting information for oil companies.

“Today we showed that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s private meetings over how to save the planet from climate change were bugged by a country intent on protecting its largest oil companies,” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a statement.
The US government has signed agreements with the UN that it will not engage in such conduct against the UN — let alone its Secretary General. It will be interesting to see the UN’s reaction, because if the Secretary General can be targeted without consequence, then everyone from world leader to street sweeper is at risk,” he added.

These new revelations raise questions about the influence that elements within the oil industry have on secretive government agencies like the NSA. This would not be the first time that the US government’s military industrial complex has taken action on behalf of US corporations. In fact, it has been happening on a daily basis, across the planet, for many decades as documented in the book Confessions of an Economic Hitman, where a former US consultant chronicled his experience toppling democratically elected leaders that were uncooperative with US corporate interests.

The Occult(Hidden) Definition of Government

The Occult Definition of the Word: Government

The word government is a word that we hear all the time, so we are well aware of what this word implies.However, at deeper levels, most of us have no clue as to what the word government truly means.
To find the deeper meanings of the word government, we need to research its origins and use the art of anagram to split it into two words.

The common and overt definition of the word government is “the form or system of rule by which a state, community, etc., is governed”
The word government originated from the Old French word governement, meaning “control, direction, administration”.

To find the occult definition of the word government, you need to split it into two words, transforming the word government into “govern-ment” or “govern ment“. One of the origins of the word govern is the Latin word gubernare, which translates to English as “to direct, rule, guide, govern”. The suffix ment has a few different origins. One of them comes from the Latin word ment, meaning “mind”.Based on these occult definitions, the word government means “to rule the mind” or “govern the mind“.

Throughout history, governments across the world have always used “mind control” techniques, such as subliminal messages and propaganda to condition us how to think.The purpose of this is to control how we think, so that they can rule our minds.

One very important thing you need to know about the government is that it is a corporation.According to Black’s Law Dictionary, a corporation is “an artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state.”
Because the government is a corporation (artificial person), it is a fictitious entity that has no natural rights and power. Its main source of power comes from feeding on the energy of the people.

The Government Has No Power Without the People’s Support

Since the government needs the energy of the people to have power, it has no power without the support of the people. Unfortunately, most people have been brainwashed to think that the government has power over them.
Whenever the government becomes tyrannical, all we need to do is remove our support and it will collapse on its own. This is how we can stop tyrannical governments without violent revolutions.

10 Times the CIA Used Secret Armies to Overthrow Foreign Governments

As more and more evidence mounts that the US government was secretly assisting the Islamic State, it might be time to point out a few instances when the Central Intelligence Agency created secret armies. The current theory suggests the US secretly supported the Islamic State so the Islamists would destabilize the government of Syrian President Assad. If that seems out of the question, remember the CIA once started a war over bananas.

1952 Ukraine– During the second World War, the Nazis set up a partisan group in Ukraine to harass and slow the advancing Soviet forces. At the end of World War II, US intelligence began funding and assisting the partisan group. The Soviets wiped the partisans out in 1952.

1954 Guatemala– This little CIA caper is the origin of the term “Banana Republic.” The democratically elected President of Guatemala,Jacobo Árbenz decided to punish the United Fruit Company for decades of consorting with the country’s dictators. He began to propose legislation to end the US multinational’s monopoly on almost everything in the country. So what else could the CIA do? The agency overthrew the legal government and triggered a war… over bananas.

1960 Congo: In the 1960s, Belgium was ending its colonial rule over Congo. Rather than allow self-determination, the CIA staged assassinations, armed rebel forces, brought in European mercenaries, and even backed them up with a secret air force.

1961 Cuba Probably the best known secret army. Castro nationalized the assets of western companies after his government took power, so the US decided to overthrow the government of Cuba and install a puppet regime. As with most of the armies backed by the US intelligence establishment, it failed. Miserably. The Bay of Pigs invasion saw 1400 US-trained Cubans surrender to Castro’s forces within 24 hours.

1975 Angola– The CIA hired French and South African mercenaries to assist right-wing groups in their fight against the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola. The group was competing with several other paramilitary organizations in a fight to take over the country after the Portuguese decolonized. The CIA’s mercenary army predictably lost.

1979 Afghanistan– The US armed and trained the Mujaheddin fighters through Operation Cyclone. Later, many of these fighters would form the core of the fundamentalist Islamic terrorist groups we are fighting (or possibly supporting) today. Yes, Osama bin Laden was one of the fighters trained by the CIA in Afghanistan. The whole operation was carried out to stop the Soviet invasion.

1980’s El Salvador– he US-supported Salvadoran government faced opposition from communist rebels. US intelligence saw an obvious and simple answer: establish death squads. US intelligence trained and advised pro-government forces as they massacred villages and led the way to the displacement of over a million people.

1981 Nicaragua– In the 1980s, the leftist Sandinistas took power. The CIA backed the Contra militia that opposed them. The agency funneled them arms, ran cocaine for them, and trained the organization that become well known for child soldiers, massacres at literacy centers, and war crimes of just about every imaginable kind.

2002 Venezuela-On 11 April 2002, a group within Venezuela attempted to oust the government. The US flatly denied involvement. Of course, there is more than enough evidence to tie the Bush Administration to the plot. There is even circumstantial evidence in a more recent second attempt.

2014 Ukraine– The most recent revolution in Ukraine may have started organically, however, it was seized upon by US intelligence. The revolution became just another method of installing a US puppet regime. The US chose to install literal Nazis. These facts are largely ignored by US media.

CIA’s ‘Eyewash’ Program . Using National Security to Deceive their own

The CIA practice known as the ‘eyewash’ has just been uncovered. ‘Eyewashing’ involves sending accurate information only to a very small number of people, and disinformation to all other employees. Senior CIA officials have for years intentionally deceived parts of the agency workforce by transmitting internal memos that contain false information about operations and sources overseas, according to current and former U.S. officials who said the practice is known by the term “eyewash.”

An anonymous ex-CIA officer explains:

“The classic use of an eyewash is if you have a garden-variety source and all of a sudden he gains access to truly sensitive information,“
“What you might do is have a false communication saying the guy got hit by a bus and died. The large number of people aware of this source suddenly think he is dead. But the continuing reporting on that source and from that source gets put into a very closed compartment that few would know about.”

Agency veterans described the tactic as an infrequent but important security measure, a means of protecting vital secrets by inserting fake communications into routine cable traffic while using separate channels to convey accurate information to cleared recipients.Senate investigators uncovered apparent cases of eyewashing as part of a multi-year probe of the CIA’s interrogation program, according to officials who said that the Senate Intelligence Committee found glaring inconsistencies in CIA communications about classified operations, including drone strikes.

The CIA’s mission regularly involves carrying out operations that are designed to deceive foreign governments and other adversaries. But officials said that eyewashing is fundamentally different in that it is aimed at an internal audience — sowing misinformation among the agency’s rank and file.

“The people in the outer levels who didn’t have insider access were being lied to,” said a U.S. official familiar with the report. “They were being intentionally deceived.”

Interestingly, it is often said by skeptics that any part of the government could never be involved in a monumental conspiracy because too many people would have to know about it, and someone would talk.What now needs to be examined is the extent to which this practice still takes places today and who exactly receives the accurate information. Is the true information ever sent to elected officials, or always withheld by this shadow government operating essentially on its own?

NSA’s SKYNET program(Remote Assaination) may be killing thousands of innocent people

The “war on Terror” is just a warm up on the playground for Future Robotic Warfare. We all thought the Terminator was pure Sci-Fi, well the sick folks at the N.S.A/C.I.A. are taking AI, Big Data, and Robotics to the next level. Using these tools for training, of how to kill current and future enemies. It’s not enough that they can use Data, and Supercomputers to spy on the whole world. The world is now there Battlefield playground. Today A.I. and unmanned drones are killing “terrorists” halfway around the world, Tomorrow They’ll be taking on “insurgents” and Dissidents in order to preserve the public “peace” and “Democracy”.

A recent examination of National Security Agency documents previously released by whistleblower Edward Snowden shows that the CIA and other U.S. agencies may be killing innocent people as a result of their reliance on metadata. The NSA’s SKYNET is a program that surveils phone metadata in order to track suspected terrorists. Through SKYNET, the security agency engages in mass surveillance of Pakistan’s mobile phone network, affecting 55 million people — but that’s not all. Once the data is gathered, it’s run through a machine learning algorithm that attempts to rate whether a particular individual is more or less likely to be a terrorist.

According to Human Rights Data Analysis’ executive director Patrick Ball, the NSA’s methods are “ridiculously optimistic” and “completely bullshit.” If Ball is correct, SKYNET’s methodology may be putting thousands of innocent lives in danger because they are being falsely identified as terrorists. The documents made available by The Intercept show the NSA works with the data of only seven known terrorists. NSA officials reportedly feed six of the terrorists’ information into the machine, tasking SKYNET with the duty of finding the seventh in a random group of 100,000 citizens.

Somewhere between 2,500 and 4,000 people have been killed by drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004, and most of them were classified by the US government as “extremists,” the Bureau of Investigative Journalism reported. In the years that have followed, thousands of innocent people in Pakistan may have been mislabelled as terrorists by that “scientifically unsound” algorithm, possibly resulting in their untimely demise.

SKYNET works like a typical modern Big Data business application. The program collects metadata and stores it on NSA cloud servers, extracts relevant information, and then applies machine learning to identify leads for a targeted campaign. Except instead of trying to sell the targets something, this campaign, given the overall business focus of the US government in Pakistan, likely involves another branch of the US government—the CIA or military—that executes their “Find-Fix-Finish” strategy using Predator drones and on-the-ground death squads.

Similar apps, like the one used by Facebook, are prone to making major mistakes, but the consequences of Facebook’s errors are relatively innocuous. When SKYNET makes similar mistakes by wrongly identifying a terrorist, the consequences are deadly.
President Barack Obama has been under heavy scrutiny for authorizing drone campaigns that result in gross mistakes, killing a great number of innocent people while targeting “confirmed terrorists.” Since 2004, there have been 401 US drone strikes in Afghanistan, alone, killing 3,058 people total. In Pakistan, hundreds, including children, have died in pursuit of a mere two dozen declared terrorists.

Patriot Act going Global? UK Seeks Authority to Serve Warrants in America

Britain has been negotiating a plan with the United States which would allow the UK to directly serve wiretap warrants on American communications companies for national security and criminal proceedings.The claim is that everything has gone global and terror is no exception, so this is the only next logical step in combating it.

As reported in USA today:

British and U.S. officials have been negotiating a plan that could allow British authorities to directly serve wiretap orders on U.S. communications companies in criminal and national security inquiries, U.S. officials have confirmed

“Such an agreement would ensure U.S. access to data stored in the United Kingdom in support of law enforcement, terrorism, and other transnational threat investigations and support our partners’ ability to investigate serious crime, as well as terrorism and other transnational threats on a reciprocal basis,”

Considering how many threats they’ve known about and been able to actually thwart, this surely isn’t about further chipping away at everyone’s privacy along with American Constitutional protections as well as national sovereignty at all.

Never mind the fact that “Homeland Security” has not stopped one terrorist plot at all..ever( wouldn’t they have to, in order to justify their existence?) Or that a Majority of the supposedly thwarted plots were actually F.B.I. led contrived situations. You kind of have to ask yourself the question of, “is any of this increased security/spying actually working for or against the American People??”

It’s also no secret that U.S. and U.K. government’s have been sharing intelligence on each others citizens (Er, uh I mean Suspects) for decades. But now they are moving forward with the next phase in the global surveillance/Big brother Superstate.

Biometric Banking Technology On Its Way To ATM’s (Cashless Society on the Way)

The new ATM concept would allow people to unlock their bank accounts with an eye scan.However, the technology that will do away with the need for cards in favor of iris scanners is being developed by a company accused of election fraud.

Diebold Inc and it’s latest solution involves registering transactions with your smartphone, then having your iris scanned at the ATM. Major banks such as Citigroup have begun testing.

It is worth noting that in this case the company which is developing the solution is Diebold. This is the company that has been charged with hacking democracy during an investigation into bribery, fraud, and a “worldwide pattern of criminal conduct.”

So the question is ,Do you feel a lot safer handing over your biometric and financial information to a group of white collar criminals, in order to keep it out of the hands of other criminals?

Gov’t Using the Psychology of “Lockdown” to Make Martial Law the Norm

The establishment has been working hard over that past few years to make martial law the norm in the United States. A few events which are most responsible for the normalization of martial law stand out in most of our minds. First there was the frightening gun confiscation and private home intrusion seen in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Many people witnessed for the first time the real horrors of martial law as militarized police, the National Guard and FEMA all operating under Federal orders bullied ordinary civilians around forcing them out of their homes and into a FEMA camp set up at public arenas.

Then 8 years later on April 15, 2013 we had the Boston bombing pressure cooker detonations at the Boston Marathon.We all know the story, how within the following days the establishment cooked up the “chase” for the real perpetrators which they used to officially introduce the “lockdown” concept.

As with Katrina, in the Watertown, MA lockdown we saw illegal and forceful home invasions as militarized police forced their way into people’s homes and forced people out of their own homes in the name of looking for terrorists who supposedly were responsible for the attacks. All the focus soon went to the chase, the lockdown and the eventual murder of one of the accused men.

Fast forward to November 13, 2015 where we saw a series of bizarre shootings in Paris,France that were all attributed to CIA’s ISIS. Much like 9/11, the shootings were comitted by “Militant Jihadists”, Who suprisingly before the operation lived the life of the cursed infidel that they so supposedly hate. The one important thing that everyone must pay attention to is that the event was used to again “lockdown” all of Paris and even other parts of Europe.

The Terror event was used to trigger police activity in other parts of the world. The “lockdown” concept had just grown to the next level.As “lockdown” is rolled out to the general public as the new norm, is anyone asking, what is lockdown? Or, why it is necessary?

–“Lockdown” is based on the delusion that we are all living in one big stadium or locker room that needs to be purged one locker at a time for there to be true justice or for the government to keep you “safe”. Of course thinking that it’s the government’s job to keep you safe is another delusion in itself.

– – The “lockdown” psyop delusion makes everyone think that if police can barge into anyone’s home at will, then they will have the tools they need to catch the bad guys.

– The “lockdown” mindset is based on the assumption that police are chasing the correct suspect. The idea that vigilante killings (Chris Dorner), patsies (Boston bombing), or that staged shooting (San Bernardino, Umpqua, Virginia TV Reporter etc) are now the norm, is not even part of the equation. Thus the lockdowns are based strictly on government and mass media controlled unchecked “evidence” … in other words, propaganda.

After 9/11 the word “terrorist” was the buzzword to get everyone worried and fearful enough to bow down to federal government tyranny. For years, all you had to say was “terrorist” or “terrorism” and most Americans would give way to the Federal government tyrannical forces.But now that the “terrorist” buzzword has lost a lot of its power due to overuse, the control system has had a lot of time to improve their Neuro-linguistic mind control on the general public, and they’ve added quite a few terms to their mass mind programming.

The newest vocabulary words being used to inculcate Martial law are, active shooter”, “gunman”, “extremist” and even “manhunt” are now all linked to “lockdown”. Look for these buzzwords with the next shooting event.

The latest “active shooter” event recently reported out of San Diego Naval Medical Center. Turned out to be nothing more than hysteria and fear propaganda. Someone “heard” gunshots and from that point on everything was on lockdown….For nothing.

Gunshots were “heard”. No one knows anything else (as of the time of this story). Also note that no one died. But despite this minimal amount of activity reported, notice how the situation automatically demands that the entire medical center is on lockdown. Also notice how the Department of Homeland Security is already involved. Isn’t it strange how the DHS ALWAYS seems to be in the neighborhood snooping around almost always having “drills” prior to or during these “shooting” eve.

No one should be fooled by these psychological tactics and clever word games. It’s all part of the delusion being imposed on the masses. The bottom line is that “lockdown” is just another buzzword for martial law, and lockdowns don’t work except for those trying to impose tyranny
