NSA
Didn't know if i wanted to post this or not, but decided to go ahead and do a post. This was sent to me via The Huffington Post, it may be true it may not be. But the longer i think about it, the weirder it gets. The post is below!



On the subject of our telephone conversation yesterday, this is a blog-response to an article on the Huffington Post written by Stan Goff today. The Stan Goff piece was about the hearings for confirmation of the CIA Director nominee:



THE N.S.A. MORE THAN JUST LISTENING

On March 31st of this year at approximately 0645 hrs on route 295 south bound, just north of D.C. as I approached the completion of a march from Boston, I made two calls home to check on things back in New England and let my family know I was soon to arrive in our Nations Capital, the focus and goal of 500 miles of enlightening sojourn.


The voice-mail picked up for both my calls and I left no message, deciding instead to call after 7:00am when my children would be awake and preparing for school. Within 3 minutes of hanging up from the second call that reached only the voice-mail I was joined on the road by a very pleasant First Sergeant from the Maryland State Police who graciously introduced himself as 1st Sgt Ron Diggs. The officer stated quite matter of factly "The N.S.A. sent me out here to see who you are" I was searched and my I.D. was called in and asked to explain why I was walking on the public way. 1st Sgt Diggs said, "The N.S.A. has a secure facility near here and they like to know who is in their area". I asked the good Sgt how he knew I was there and he simply stated that the N.S.A. told him where I was and to come and find out what I was doing out here. He placed me in his cruiser and drove me about five miles down the road and put me out once again on 295 south bound. We wished each other well and off I went to D.C. arriving in time to attend the end of the censure hearing Sen Feingold had set up. I gave a written statement to one of Feingold's aids and spoke directly to Sen. Graham about the strange events of that morning, no follow-up by either Senator regarding this event has happened.

The N.S.A. can plot your exact location in real time when it has your cell phone number. Whats next?

Don't be naive America, the absolute power of this cartel has corrupted absolutely. All the assets of this government are now being used for the personal gain, advancement, and protection of these rulers and their financiers.

1. More and more cellular devices
can be used to track your movement. If you are carrying one you can be tracked. If you use one, it could flag you for attention.

Don't be surprised that technology is being used in more ways than you intend. All technology is multi-use, and some of those uses are not in your best interest.

2. Wow. They're getting real blatant and routine about it, aren't they?
When I was in college I was involved in the anti-nuclear movement and helped to organize a student protest at Reagan's first Inauguration.

Just before the Inauguration the Boston FBI Office called my step-father, who was a federal Super-grade employee, and suggested that he bring his influence to bear to get me to stop my organizing activities. That was probably counterproductive - my step-father had little influence on me at the time.

I thought that was blatant. But, just goes to show - the feds basically don't change. At least you know you're never really alone.

3. You called on a cell phone?
The NSA is the least of your worries. The local police, the mafia (both American and Russian), Columbian drug cartels, ninjas, and even bears can pinpoint your location if you use a cell phone, and they can listen in on your calls.

Don't use a cell phone if you wish your presence, identity, and content of your conversation to remain hidden. Just like you wouldn't use a bullhorn.
