WIKILEAKS: Surveillance Cameras Around The Country Are Being Used In A Huge Spy Network

The U.S. cable networks won't be covering this one tonight (not accurately, anyway), but Trapwire is making the rounds on social media today—it reportedly became a Trending hashtag on Twitter earlier in the day.

Trapwire is the name of a program revealed in the latest Wikileaks bonanza—it is the mother of all leaks, by the way. Trapwire would make something like disclosure of UFO contact or imminent failure of a major U.S. bank fairly boring news by comparison.

And someone out there seems to be quite disappointed that word is getting out so swiftly; the Wikileaks web site is reportedly sustaining 10GB worth of DDoS attacks each second, which is massive.

Anyway, here's what Trapwire is, according to Russian-state owned media network RT (apologies for citing "foreign media"... if we had a free press, I'd be citing something published here by an American media conglomerate): "Former senior intelligence officials have created a detailed surveillance system more accurate than modern facial recognition technology—and have installed it across the U.S. under the radar of most Americans..."

F15Eagle has been banned or suspended??!!?? WTF is going on with that?

[azishot]

...reporting suspicious activity back to a centralized analysis center...

And we'll never know what THEY consider "suspicious activity". Could be helping little, old ladies across the street and *slipping* something into their purse. I hate this regime.

Do not—I repeat—Do not...mention anything about PigMan or folks will think you’re getting too close to the truth.

Okay I give up. What is it?

"F15Eagle has been banned or suspended??!!?? WTF is going on with that?"

That's just his home page. FReepers fall for that all the time.

[caver]

Well OK, I fell for it. Is that really his Home page? What a sucker I am!

[Eaker]

How did they know that?

Because their families were doing it.

Anybody with half a brain or more were doing it.

So they can put up thousands of cameras all over the US.

Integrate the images in a real time data base storage system.

Positively identify any ones face shown on the camera images.

Yet we were told during the illegal immigration debate during GWB's term, that finding illegal aliens was impossible.

And we were also told that the border with Mexico was too long to properly secure.

Looks like the only enemies DC now has, are all US citizens.

Facebook is a virtual sedative but I tend to post links such as this one on it to give indigestion to my leftcoast relatives.

“Abraxas goes back a long way. It is not a joke, nor is it propaganda”

Wonder what Carlos Santana would do? He always thought those guys watching were angels.

[MestaMachine]

Have that in my collection. Love it still.

[NoGrayZone]

Ahhh, lovely. Just got busted on my way home tonight by one of those red light cameras. Thankfully, there’s no points on your license for it, just a fine.

Now I’ll go read the article....

Look at the birdie

:D

[null and void]

Bingo.

[philman_36]

This pretty much tells me that we're all considered to be criminals now.
Only criminals are put under surveillance such as this.
