ding ding ding ding - you are correct! the answers is: NONE OF THEM. Everyone is looking for a political saviour. I regret to inform the general public NONE OF THEM is going to save us. We the people must save ourselves. (isn't that what the long haired bearded gent in sandals told us we all must do - save ourselves)

It isn't the violation of the fourth amendment that its collection constituted.

Such would be a judicial imperative in each individual case.

I doubt if it would ever lead to the closure of the Utah Data Center, which commits serial violations of the amendment every second.

Given that they will never give up their data collection efforts, there is only 2 ways to deal with the constant threat of blackmail based on your "sensitive & private" data. Live a completely clean, upstanding life away from all digital systems (damn near impossible), or just get yourself to the point mentally where you honestly don't give a rat's ass about what anyone thinks about anything you may have ever done, said, or even casually perused on the internet out of plain ole morbid curiosity....

Unfortunately, most Brits have forgotten how to do this. Maybe it's been beaten out of us. FYI I wrote about it a while back https://devonshiredozer.substack.com/p/ive-never-kept-a-journal .

I'm afraid it's way worse than most people imagine. Sure, it's an invasion of privacy, but it is also very much like Orwell's 1984, where the data collection is extremely personal and can definitely be misused in harmful and very personal ways. There are many ways to think about this. Social credit scores is one way to think about it. Gangstalking is another. Who knows where this will lead, but it's wrong -- no matter how you slice it.

I used to think that the data collected by the grocery stores for the rewards cards was very innocuous. But honestly, none of that is anyone's business.

It's not exactly paranoid to realize that your various appliances' (including TV, smartphone, computer, Alexa) are turned on and listening and scooping up info that "could" be used later on. It's also not paranoid to be disturbed that your Smart TV is watching you.

I would say, the worst part is the lying and denial that any of this surveillance is happening, or trying to minimize it or call us crazy conspiracy theorists for mentioning it.

It's happening to a far greater degree than most people realize. This needs to be exposed and dealt with.

"I used to think that the data collected by the grocery stores for the rewards cards was very innocuous."

I knew from the start it was not. Never signed up for any of those things, because I didn't want anyone to know.

Used Amazon for a bit, then realized--DUH--they not only know what I'm buying but track what I'm searching. Ended that right quick.

It started when the Reagan administration CIA and DOJ stole the Inslaw Prosecutors Management Information system from William and Nancy Hamilton and used the covert “classified” R&D capabilities of the US UK Israeli Russian Iranian Saudi intelligence agencies as covert Weapons of Mass Destruction traffickers (Adnan Khashoggi, Ghorbanifar, Richard Armitage, Earl Brian, and these nation’s largest and most corrupt private national security agencies like Wackenhut to convert the PROMIS software into the ultimate spying and money-trafficking tool and deprived the citizens of a prosecutorial management information tool we need to prosecute them. This is how the criminals have taken over the world. Where will it end? How can it end? Let’s start by getting William Barr to give back the PROMIS software to William Hamilton and use it to track down William Barr’s vast Rightwing conspiracy in the CIA and DOJ and claw back their ill-gotten gains and demand the Octopus remove its tentacles from our global banking system starting with the BIS, the IMF, the World Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Black Rock, Vanguard, the City of London and other money laundering conspirators and restore Glass Steagalk, Honest Services Laws, the Fairness Doctrine of the FCC, and other regulatory powers corruptly deregulated by neocon NeoLiberal neoNazis embedded as Zionist Sayanim throughout world’s government management systems all of which are controlled through Internet software built off of software like Palantir, Systematics, PTech, Pegasus which are continuing to be used by enemies of the state within the state.

It's eerie how I can just mention a product to my husband and it ends up in my facebook feed 🙄

I'd like to know where the little "ear" spy-piece is located on my phone and stuff it full of (your favorite annoying obnoxious substance posted here), examples: chewing tobacco, spit wads, and the bullshit they deserve rubbed under their noses/flung in their faces, for starters ;-)

"Smart" devices are a huge problem. I have all old, junky appliances.

Earpieces can be simply unwired (snip the ground / either wire to the speaker), but the brainwave detection capability is a little more insidious. Any wireless device can enable that, I'm guessing. And all hardware and software features backdoor access capability for surveillance nowadays.

I guess it’s no longer feasible or safe to live at a merely skin deep level where the parasitic mentality is having a feast. Time to ‘translate back into Spirit our Original Home’.

ASIO created a file on me when I was in 3rd form High School. For a combined Geography and History assignment we had to write to an Embassy or Consulate of our choice for information. A friend and I chose the Russians and were amazed to find out the large parcels we were sent had both been opened for inspection, material removed and then resealed in exactly the same way.

You have to give up your smart phones for starters. Shop more in the stores and use cash. Limit your use of digital products. Think back 30 years ago, if you can and how none of this digital crap was surveilling us. Now, we are going to have to get out the pitchforks and fight for our lives or perish.

Meryl, they have planes bought and maintained by Google for “earth mapping” is what they call it, but the cameras can see through the roof and they can read the sticky note on your kitchen counter…google sells this information, they don’t keep it.

Just thought you should know…

“And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries [Greek pharmakeia] were all nations deceived.”(Rev 18:23)

The ‘creature’ is worshipping itself and forgotten it owes everything to, and can do nothing without, our Creator.

The irony here is that what “the government” has collected is about what would be known about us if we lived in a very small town out in the boondocks and would be known by all! The answer I believe is just to tell them to go fuck themselves…. Which seems to be what the new generation is doing…if “privacy” no longer exists then flaunt it! Be yourself and hypocrisy be damned! We all have things to “hide”! Look at poor Professor Matsoukis making love with his collie and foolish enough to brag about it! The World is a crazy place and never more crazy than now it seems! The more we learn about people the crazier it gets!
