Orwell 2011: Towards a Pervasive "Surveillance State" in America Biometrics, Facial Mapping, 'Computer-Aided ID'. Global Research March 28, 2011 Not since AT&T whistleblower Marc Klein's 2006 revelations that U.S. telecommunications giants were secretly collaborating with the government to spy on Americans, has a story driven home the point that we are confronted by a daunting set of invisible enemies: the security and intelligence firms constellating the dark skies of the National Security State. As echoes from last month's disclosures by the cyber-guerrilla collective Anonymous continue to reverberate, leaked HBGary emails and documents are providing tantalizing insight into just how little daylight there is between private companies and the government. The latest front in the ongoing war against civil liberties and privacy rights is the Pentagon's interest in "persona management software." A euphemism for a suite of high-tech tools that equip an operative - military or corporate, take your pick - with multiple avatars or sock puppets, our latter day shadow warriors hope to achieve a leg up on their opponents in the "war of ideas" through stealthy propaganda campaigns rebranded as "information operations." globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=23992

Texas Sold Baby Blood to Pentagon, Says Class December 10, 2010 SAN ANTONIO (CN) - Texas illegally "sold, trade, bartered and distributed" babies' blood to private companies and the Pentagon without asking or telling their parents, after taking the blood as part of Texas' "mandatory newborn screening program," parents claim in a federal class action. Blood from 8,800 babies was sold or traded for lab equipment from private companies and from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology - and Texas "knowingly and deceptively withheld this information during settlement negotiations" of a previous lawsuit, the parents say. www.courthousenews.com/2010/12/10/32486.htm

Court Case Asks if ‘Big Brother’ Is Spelled GPS September 10, 2011 WASHINGTON — The precedent is novel. More precisely, the precedent is a novel. In a series of rulings on the use of satellites and cellphones to track criminal suspects, judges around the country have been citing George Orwell’s “1984” to sound an alarm. They say the Fourth Amendment’s promise of protection from government invasion of privacy is in danger of being replaced by the futuristic surveillance state Orwell described. www.nytimes.com/2011/09/11/us/11gps.html* Their answer will bring Fourth Amendment law into the digital age, addressing how its 18th-century prohibition of “unreasonable searches and seizures” applies to a world in which people’s movements are continuously recorded by devices in their cars, pockets and purses, by toll plazas and by transit systems. * The Jones case will address not only whether the placement of a space-age tracking device on the outside of a vehicle without a warrant qualifies as a search * Federal appeals courts in Chicago and San Francisco, on the other hand, have allowed the police to use GPS tracking devices without a warrant. * institutionalized mass surveillance * “it would be foolish to contend that the degree of privacy secured to citizens by the Fourth Amendment has been entirely unaffected by the advance of technology.”

Big Pharma Nanotechnology Encodes Pills with Tracking Data that You Swallow July 15, 2010 Sounds great, right? Except for the fact that, like genetic modification of food crops, nanotechnology tampers with Mother Nature in a way that's largely untested for safety. And here's something really bizarre: The pharmaceutical industry may soon begin using nanotechnology to encode drug tablets and capsules with brand and tracking data that you swallow as part of the pill. www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_21248.cfm

Are you being watched? An independent researcher just discovered a hidden application www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/11/secret-software-logging-video/ that records what millions of people write, view and search for on their mobile phones. It sends all of that data to a company no one’s ever heard of. And we have no idea what that company is doing with our information. Sounds like 1984. But it’s happening in 2011. Earlier today, Sen. Al Franken demanded answers from the company, Carrier IQ, calling its technology “deeply troubling.” franken.senate.gov/?ak_proof=1&id=1868&p=press_release We now need a full investigation. Carrier IQ is working with mobile phone manufacturers and cellphone carriers to install its spying software www.theverge.com/2011/11/30/2601695/carrier-iq-controversy on Androids and iPhones. The software may also exist on models made by BlackBerry, Nokia and other manufacturers. Researcher Trevor Eckhart exposed the privacy breach in a shocking video that shows how Carrier IQ secretly records actions you take on your phone — numbers that you dial, letters that you press when texting or searching the Web, menu buttons that you push — and sends it all back to Carrier IQ headquarters. www.savetheinternet.com/blog/11/12/01/dont-spy-me

The Spyfiles Translations [fr] Wikileaks : Un monde sous surveillance More articles ... - The Spyfiles - The Map WikiLeaks: The Spy Files Mass interception of entire populations is not only a reality, it is a secret new industry spanning 25 countries It sounds like something out of Hollywood, but as of today, mass interception systems, built by Western intelligence contractors, including for ’political opponents’ are a reality. Today WikiLeaks began releasing a database of hundreds of documents from as many as 160 intelligence contractors in the mass surveillance industry. Working with Bugged Planet and Privacy International, as well as media organizations form six countries – ARD in Germany, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK, The Hindu in India, L’Espresso in Italy, OWNI in France and the Washington Post in the U.S. Wikileaks is shining a light on this secret industry that has boomed since September 11, 2001 and is worth billions of dollars per year. WikiLeaks has released 287 documents today, but the Spy Files project is ongoing and further information will be released this week and into next year. International surveillance companies are based in the more technologically sophisticated countries, and they sell their technology on to every country of the world. This industry is, in practice, unregulated. Intelligence agencies, military forces and police authorities are able to silently, and on mass, and secretly intercept calls and take over computers without the help or knowledge of the telecommunication providers. Users’ physical location can be tracked if they are carrying a mobile phone, even if it is only on stand by. But the WikiLeaks Spy Files are more than just about ’good Western countries’ exporting to ’bad developing world countries’. Western companies are also selling a vast range of mass surveillance equipment to Western intelligence agencies. In traditional spy stories, intelligence agencies like MI5 bug the phone of one or two people of interest. In the last ten years systems for indiscriminate, mass surveillance have become the norm. Intelligence companies such as VASTech secretly sell equipment to permanently record the phone calls of entire nations. Others record the location of every mobile phone in a city, down to 50 meters. Systems to infect every Facebook user, or smart-phone owner of an entire population group are on the intelligence market. wikileaks.org/the-spyfiles.htmlOn Thursday, December 1st, 2011 WikiLeaks began publishing The Spy Files, thousands of pages and other materials exposing the global mass surveillance industry wikileaks.org/spyfiles/list/releasedate/2011-12-01.html

Would you wear a bionic contact lens to read emails? Tuesday 22 November 2011 13.02 GMT Developers at Washington University are close to creating a contact lens that projects text and images before our eyes A researcher holds one of the 'bionic' contact lenses, which have now been successfully tested on animals.Fans of the Terminator franchise may be thrilled but others may be confused over just what a bionic contact lens adds to humanity. According to the developers at Washington University, users could view floating emails and text messages as well as augment their sight with computer-generated images. They say it has been successfully tested on animals (presumably those with email accounts) and when problems such as finding a decent power source are ironed out it could be ready for market. www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/nov/22/bionic-contact-lens-emails

FOI request turns up Carrier IQ surprise12th December 2011 23:01 GMT G-men slurping snooped smartphone data? The Carrier IQ scandal is a gift that just keeps giving: a US FOI report suggests that the FBI is using data captured by the creepy smartphone snooping app. The discovery was made by FOI blog MuckRock, which asked for “manuals, documents or other written guidance used to access or analyze data gathered by programs developed or deployed by Carrier IQ”. The FBI said “no”, but not because they didn’t have the information. Rather, the feds didn’t want to release the data because it could impact a current investigation: “I have determined that the records responsive to your request are law enforcement records,” the response states, “that there is a pending or prospective enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records;... www.theregister.co.uk/2011/12/12/carrier_iq_and_the_fbi/Carrier IQ faces federal probe into allegations software tracks cellphone data - Wednesday, December 14, 11:22 AM Federal investigators are probing allegations that Carrier IQ software found on about 150 million cellphones tracked user activity and sent the information to cellphone companies without informing consumers, according to government officials. www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/feds-probing-carrier-iq/2011/12/14/gIQA9nCEuO_story.html?tid=pm_business_pop
