10 Ways We Are Being Tracked, Traced, and Databased
Posted: July 11, 2010 Filed under: Civil Liberties, New World Order | Tags: Big Brother, CCTV, Internet, Microchips in Humans, RFID, Surveillance Society 8 CommentsAre technological advances infringing on our right to privacy?
The war on terror is a worldwide endeavor that has spurred massive investment into the global surveillance industry – which now seems to be becoming a war on “liberty and privacy.” Given all of the new monitoring technology being implemented, the uproar over warrantless wiretaps now seems moot. High-tech, first-world countries are being tracked, traced, and databased, literally around every corner. Governments, aided by private companies, are gathering a mountain of information on average citizens who so far seem willing to trade liberty for supposed security. Here are just some of the ways the matrix of data is being collected:

In the name of “National Security“, one of the biggest lies is “making you safer .” This absurd promise applies to surveillance as well as to the reason for prisons, torture, rendition (kidnapping), etc. But “Making you safer” is really about making money for corporations.
Artificially Intelligent CCTV could prevent crimes before they happen
Posted: September 26, 2009 Filed under: Civil Liberties, New World Order | Tags: Big Brother, CCTV, Surveillance Society, UK 2 CommentsA new generation of Minority Report-style security cameras that can detect criminals before they strike could be in operation across Britain within five years, scientists claim.

The CCTV technology identifies suspicious individuals and behaviour and then acts to stamp out crimes before they happen.
When a crime looks like it is going to occur, the system will verbally warn the perpetrator and then if necessary alert the nearest police officer.
ISIS, short for Integrated Sensor Information System, is being developed by a team at Queen’s University Belfast at its Centre for Secure Information Technologies.
It is designed to work with the extensive network of CCTV cameras already installed on buses and trains as well as in stations, airports and on the street.
Britain To Put CCTV Cameras Inside Private Homes…

As an ex-Brit, I’m well aware of the authorities’ love of surveillance and snooping, but even I, a pessimistic cynic, am amazed by the governments latest plan: to install Orwell’s telescreens in 20,000 homes.
£400 million ($668 million) will be spend on installing and monitoring CCTV cameras in the homes of private citizens. Why? To make sure the kids are doing their homework, going to bed early and eating their vegetables. The scheme has, astonishingly, already been running in 2,000 family homes. The government’s “children’s secretary” Ed Balls is behind the plan, which is aimed at problem, antisocial families. The idea is that, if a child has a more stable home life, he or she will be less likely to stray into crime and drugs.
It gets worse. The government is also maintaining a private army, incredibly not called “Thought Police”, which will “be sent round to carry out home checks,” according to the Sunday Express. And in a scheme which firmly cements the nation’s reputation as a “nanny state”, the kids and their families will be forced to sign “behavior contracts” which will “set out parents’ duties to ensure children behave and do their homework.”
And remember, this is the left-wing government. The Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling, batting for the conservatives, thinks these plans are “too little, and too late,” implying that even more obtrusive work needs to be done. Rumors that a new detention center, named Room 101, is being constructed inside the Ministry of Love are unconfirmed.
Big Brother really is watching you…
Posted: August 4, 2009 Filed under: Civil Liberties, New World Order | Tags: Big Brother, CCTV, Surveillance Society, UK 1 CommentRecent statistics reveal that, on average, anyone in the UK will be captured on a CCTV camera up to 350 times… a day. Whether they be police surveillance cameras, underground or over-ground train systems’ coverage, CCTV cameras on buses (yes) or private cameras on the walls of banks or inside and outside shops and supermarkets and shopping malls, smile. You are on TV.

UK: CCTV is popular with public claims minister…
Posted: June 21, 2009 Filed under: New World Order, Propaganda | Tags: Big Brother, CCTV, Surveillance Society, UK 1 CommentJustice minister Lord Bach was replying in a Lords debate on surveillance in which most speakers criticised the system and questioned its effectiveness.
He said: “CCTV is a powerful crime-fighting tool. It has been claimed in this debate that it has only resulted in 3% more convictions but the amount of crime that it deters has not been mentioned.”
Lord Bach told peers: “People would concur with the general suggestion that CCTV is indeed a powerful tool and are grateful that it is there.
“Police operational experience and various research shows that it deters and detects crime and helps secure convictions. It also reduces fear of crime.
He added: “We remain committed to the use of CCTV in helping to make communities feel safer.”

NYPD seeks to expand surveillance cameras, license plate readers…
Posted: April 2, 2009 Filed under: Civil Liberties | Tags: Big Brother, CCTV, Surveillance Society, USA Leave a commentIf New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has his way, surveillance cameras will blanket the entire midtown area of New York City.
Kelly says he intends to pattern the surveillance system after the “ring of steel” system now used in London. “That would mean the cameras and the license plate readers and coordinate it from the new coordination center located in lower Manhattan,” said Kelly. The system is intended as an “anti-terrorism” measure.
“The idea, Kelly testified before a City Council committee, is to allow police to do everything they do downtown – scan license plates, monitor surveillance video cameras and use radiation and bioterrorism detectors – between 34th and 59th streets, from river to river,” Newsday reports. The NYPD has already obtained most of the necessary $92 million but federal grant funds are needed to complete the project.

Documentary – Suspect Nation (47 min.)
Posted: March 21, 2009 Filed under: Civil Liberties | Tags: Big Brother, Biometrics, CCTV, ID Cards, Microchips in Humans, UK, USA 17 CommentsSYNOPSIS: Since Tony Blair’s New Labour government came to power in 1997, the UK civil liberties landscape has changed dramatically. ASBOs were introduced by Section 1 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and first used in 1999. The right to remain silent is no longer universal. Our right to privacy, free from interception of communications has been severely curtailed. The ability to travel without surveillance (or those details of our journeys being retained) has disappeared. Indeed, as Henry Porter (the Observer journalist famous for his recent email clash with Tony Blair over the paring down of civil liberties) reveals in this unsettling film, our movements are being watched, and recorded, more than ever before.
