DETEKT

Police State USA                        DETEKT “ DETEKT The open-source tool was developed by security researcher Claudio Guarnieri, a security researcher who has been investigating government abuse of spyware for years. He often collaborates with other researchers at University of Toronto's Citizen Lab. During their investigations, Guarnieri and his colleagues discovered, for example, that the Bahraini government used software created by German company FinFisher to spy on human rights activists. They also found out that the Ethiopian government spied on journalists in the U.S. and Europe, using software developed by Hacking Team, another company that sells off-the-shelf surveillance tools. [..] Detekt only works with Windows, and it's designed to discover malware developed both by commercial firms, as well as popular spyware used by cybercriminals, such as BlackShades RAT (Remote Access Tool) and Gh0st RAT. The tool has some limitations, though: It's only a scanner, and doesn't remove the malware infection, which is why Detekt's official site warns that if there are traces of malware on your computer, you should stop using it "immediately," and and look for help. It also might not detect newer versions of the spyware developed by FinFisher, Hacking Team and similar companies. [full] Since 9/11 I am less inclined to view our government as an instrument able to "provide for the common defense," and "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" at once.  Since 2009, even less so.  So, when it comes to accepting the the United States government's explanation for anything at face value, from Kennedy's assassination, through Oklahoma City—TWA Flight 800—9/11—election results—or even Obama's C.V., et.al.; my stance is citizen emptor.  If Hollywood can script it, it's possible.  So, even recognizing the genius that might induce we guilty-minded into ourselves installing a direct pipeline to the Obamasariot; I tried it. With this result. I guess Windows 8 can detect and fix anything on its own.  God bless you Microsoft. Now I can sleep. ”

Should we ever fear FLIR?

“

*VIDEO* Thermal Shield Test by Apache FLIR – Pass! A citizen of Nazi Germany or Communist Russia could never discuss such matters for fear of being investigated by the state police.  Good thing we live in the United States, right?  Where government drones are not used for spying on the citizenry.  Still, better to be educated about things, right?  Like Robert A. Heinlein said.       Free Tommy Lee Smith!

The drone hunting license

Police State Culture                    — it's drone season for hunters in Colorado town “ Supporters acknowledge the licenses would be only a symbolic stance against government surveillance, and a Deer Trail, Colo., election authorizing them is still a month away. Yet about 1,000 people have applied for one. Remember this? Judge Napolitano : First American to shoot down a Drone will be an An American Hero ”

Facials

Police State Culture Beat Facial Recognition “ Facial recognition technology isn’t part of science fiction anymore, it’s something that’s being employed by a handful of governments around the world, and even private enterprise is getting in on it with applications like Facedeals. If you don’t want to be pinged in public by a surveillance suite though, hacktivist group Anonymous have made a handy instructional video to keep you safe. Tips to dodge facial recognition software include wearing a clear plastic mask to make your facial features unrecognisable to video surveillance, because your face appears all reflecty and blurred. Another way the Anons suggest is to tilt your head more than 15 degrees to the side, as software limitations means you’ll be rendered undetectable. You can also apply “elaborate makeup” — Gotye-style — to make yourself invisible to facial recognition tech. All of these make you look pretty silly, though. The best way to do it that the Anons recommend is to get a few infrared lights powered by a nine-volt battery and attach it to to a hat. The lights will be relatively invisible to the naked eye, but cameras looking to identify you will pick up the light and the resulting bloom will cover your face completely when viewed by cameras. [Full] It's very important that we begin trying to beat  traffic cams, drones,  facial recognition, and any other snoopology being sold to as as "for for own security.   The reason—Americans are leery of these devices as it is, but that hasn't stopped their proliferation.  Any nascent police state has to sell the idea to enough people that they can make arrests and prosecute without a ground swell of protest.  Weak sisters need to see widespread resistence NOW. It's not just our government, it's the world order; an idea this government has bought into by the way.  Drudge had the Civilian Drone Warfare story up earlier today (OMFG! Now, a new online video poses a more troubling question: What if civilian drones are equipped to shoot more than just pictures?OMFG).  The media will ride this story like a bull on a cute a cow.  The Newtowne shooting is already being employed as justification to rip up the constitution.  And face it- you won't see people employing home built drones, unless and until there's open rebellion of the Warsaw ghetto variety. Hell, back in 2007 I advocated private civilian use of cammmed up drones to guard the US-Mexican border,  That meme continued for awhile, to a point where I mounted shotguns on them, and had high school kids patrolling sectors.  First a warning shit, then a mini nuke.   Not a new idea then.  Problem now is, we have a gummint that will use drones to control us while allowing the wholesale influx of illegals!   Tell me that's not something that needs fighting! ”

Social Media Roofies- for starters

"Does this taste like Rohypnol to you? “ The media appear to be working their way up to a full-on hand-wringing over the news that the kind of people who use "Does this taste like Rohypnol to you?" as a pickup line have discovered social media "location apps". Wow. Who could have seen that coming? The internet itself has already made dodging stalkers or creepy exes a colossal pain in the butt, at least for those of us who remember the good old days of 'move and get an unlisted phone number and you're done,' but the idea of voluntarily tagging yourself like a migrating harp seal? Unbelievable. When I first heard of these apps that would basically broadcast your age, sex, relationship status, favorite color, GPS location, and how long you'd been standing there in the bar parking lot fumbling in your purse for your car keys, I couldn't believe ... [Tam- findavictim.com continued] "How do I know thee? Let me count the ways..." There's Google Mail; speed cams; traffic light cams; street surveillance cams; automobile "black boxes;" Face Book; People Search and Public Information Search Engines; Google Street; Google Earth; surveillance drones;  blah blah blah. Maybe someone can find the quote for me, I've tried and failed, but the gist is "they'll take your freedom and you'll pay them to do it."  Because that's what's happened.  Remember, pick any technology you want, and the government is using it.  And with this lot, that's a very.very bad thing. By the by. when I was single I took roofies at the disco.  Way overrated.  Didn't get me anywhere but a bed on the sidewalk.  ”

Cop Chases Himself on Snoop Cam

Police State Culture                    Police officer 'chased himself' after being mistaken for burglar "chased himself round the streets" for 20 minutes after a CCTV operator mistook him for suspect.

“ ... the probationary officer from Sussex Police searched for suspects, the camera operator radioed that he had seen someone “acting suspiciously” in the area. But he failed to realise that it was actually the plain-clothed officer he was watching on the screen, according to details leaked to an industry magazine. The operator directed the officer, who was on foot patrol, as he followed the "suspect" on camera last month, telling his colleague on the ground that he was "hot on his heels". The officer spent around 20 minutes giving chase before a sergeant came into the CCTV control room, recognised the “suspect” and laughed hysterically at the mistake. This story (sent by the lady  mary) prompted me to post the video  How To Beat Speed Cams in the header video theatre,  which as far as I know no a soul watches, even though I sent in a cleaning crew to get rid of all sticky stuff on the seats.  Still, you can also see it here. ”

I found particularly creepy the Face Book challenge of identifying everyone in the picture.  And yes, I have grown to view all new technology in context of its usefulness to a police state.  But, that's just me.      cuzzin ricky
