San Diego: Spy City

CHAMELEO readers will have no trouble recognizing the significance of the following 3-14-19 MASSPRIVATEL article entitled "San Diego Has Been Turned Into a Massive Chinese-Style Public Surveillance Network (Updated)":

"Can you imagine a city in the United States secretly creating a Chinese-style public surveillance network that can identify everyone? Can you imagine that same city secretly creating a Chinese-style public watchlisting network?

"Well imagine no more because it has already happened.

"When I wrote about 'covert facial recognition street lights coming to a city near you' last year, I never would have dreamt that my article would become a reality so quickly.

"A recent article in the San Diego Reader reveals how a hacker discovered emails between the Port of San Diego and BriefCam. The emails revealed that law enforcement is secretly using a network of 400 facial recognition surveillance cameras to identify everyone. (Click here to view a map of where all 3,200 spying street lights are located.)

"Last year, BriefCam announced a 'breakthrough' in real-time facial recognition surveillance.

"'Robust multi-camera search capabilities identify men, women, children and vehicles with speed and precision, using 25 classes and attributes, face recognition, appearance similarity, color, size, speed, path, direction, and dwell time.'

"According to another article, the City of San Diego is using GE's CityIQ street lights to listen to everyone.

"In 2017, civil rights advocates sent a letter to the mayor and city council asking the city not to install GE's streetlights.
 
"'Devices capable of monitoring and recording residents invade privacy, chill free speech, and disparately impact communities of color.'

"But as the article revealed, San Diego ignored the public's concerns and secretly installed 3200 spying GE streetlights.

"GE's spying streetlights have effectively 'turned the city into a stealthy laboratory for infrastructure-embedded intelligence collecting with devices regularly used by the DEA, ICE and other security agencies.' (To learn more about San Diego's spying streetlights click here.)"

Super Soldier for the Wars of the Future

From Bill Bostock's 4-4-19 Business Insider article entitled "A Russian Defense Ministry Report Claims Its Elite Soldiers Can Crash Computers With Their Minds and Read Documents Inside a Safe After Mastering Telepathy from Dolphins":

"Elite Russian soldiers can crash computers, treat wounded troops, and read foreign-language documents locked inside a safe using the power of their minds, a report in the Defense Ministry's official magazine claims. 

"Using 'parapsychology,' a catch-all term for any psychic ability, soldiers can detect ambushes, burn crystals, eavesdrop, and disrupt radio waves, according to a report by reserve colonel Nikolai Poroskov. 

"The techniques were developed over a long period staring in the 1980s Soviet Union, by studying telepathy in dolphins, the report said. It also claimed soldiers can now communicate with the dolphins. 

"The article, entitled 'Super Soldier for the Wars of the Future,' was swiftly scorned by experts. But its appearance in the February edition of the Russian defense ministry's Armeisky Sbornik (Army Collection) magazine is nonetheless remarkable.  

"The report says: 'With an effort of thought, you can, for example, shoot down computer programs, burn crystals in generators, eavesdrop on a conversation, or break television and radio programs and communications.'

"'Those capable of metacontact can, for example, conduct nonverbal interrogations. They can see through the captured soldier: who this person is, their strong and weak sides, and whether they're open to recruitment.'

"Soldiers could even 'read a document in a safe even if it was in a foreign language we don't know,' the report said. 

"Soldiers have also been trained in 'psychic countermeasures,' the report said — techniques which help soldiers stay strong during interrogations from telepaths in rival armies."

New York Times: "Why It's Easy for a Bounty Hunter to Find You"

From Geoffrey Starks' 4-2-19 New York Times article entitled "Why It's So Easy for a Bounty Hunter to Find You":

"When you signed up for cellphone service, I bet you didn’t expect that your exact location could be sold to anyone for a few hundred dollars. The truth is, your wireless carrier tracks you everywhere you go, whether you like it or not. When used appropriately, this tracking shouldn’t be a problem: location information allows emergency services to find you when you need them most. 

"But wireless carriers have been selling our data in ways that allows it to be resold for potentially dangerous purposes. For instance, stalkers and abusive domestic partners have used location data to track, threaten and attack victims. This industrywide practice facilitates 'pay to track' schemes that appear to violate the law and Federal Communications Commission rules.

"Companies are collecting and profiting from our private data in hidden ways that leave us vulnerable. As you carry your phone, your wireless carrier records its location so calls and texts can reach you. And you can't opt out of sharing location data with your carrier, as you can with a mobile application. Your carrier needs this data to deliver service. But, according to recent news reports, this real-time phone location data has long been available to entities beyond your wireless carrier, for a price. In one alarming example, reported by Vice, a bounty hunter was able to pay to track a user’s location on a map accurate to within a few feet. In another case, a sheriff in Missouri used location data provided by carriers to inappropriately track a judge.

"In other words, an ability that seems to come right out of a spy movie is now apparently available to just about anybody with your phone number and some cash. The pay-to-track industry has grown in the shadows, outside of the public eye and away from the watch of regulators."

Misguided Spying and "New Zealand's Watergate Moment"

From Suzie Dawson's 3-15-19 Consortium News report entitled "Misguided Spying and the New Zealand Massacre":

"Now that the bodies of 49 innocent human beings are lying in a Christchurch, New Zealand, morgue — gunned down by a heavily armed terrorist — New Zealand media are asking the obvious questions: why didn’t our intelligence agencies know there were xenophobic, murderous, white supremacists on the loose in Christchurch?
 

"Questions are being asked of the nation’s security services in the wake of a mass shooting described as ‘one of New Zealand’s darkest days,' Stuff.co.nz reports and quotes a University of Waikato professor of international law, Alexander Gillespie, as saying: 'If it’s a cell we need to ask why weren’t they detected, because that’s why we have security services and it may be that those services have been looking under the wrong rocks.'

"According to the same article, in response to the terrorist attack, 'A crisis meeting of national security agencies was held at Police National Headquarters in Wellington after the shooting.'

"In the NZ Herald, veteran intelligence reporter David Fisher asked many pertinent questions in an opinion piece titled 'Christchurch massacre – what did we miss and who missed it?'

"'We need answers,' says Fisher. 'The NZSIS [New Zealand’s equivalent of the FBI] – and its electronic counterpart, the Government Communications Security Bureau – have more funding than ever, and almost double the staff numbers they had six years ago. They also now have the most powerful legislation they have ever had.'

"We know thanks to the findings of an inquiry by the State Services Commission last December that as many as a dozen government agencies, including the NZ Police, were too busy squandering their resources spying on NGOs such as Greenpeace NZ; political parties such as the New Zealand Green Party and then-Internet Party aligned Mana Movement, as well as on anti-TPP protesters and activists such as myself.

"As if that weren’t egregious enough, they were even spying on Christchurch earthquake insurance claimants and historical victims of institutional state child abuse.

"An ex-cabinet minister and now chief executive of Greenpeace New Zealand, Russel Norman called it 'New Zealand’s Watergate moment.'"

Pig Zombies

From Nell Greenfieldboyce's 4-17-19 National Public Radio report entitled "Scientists Restore Some Function In The Brains Of Dead Pigs":

"The brains of dead pigs have been somewhat revived by scientists hours after the animals were killed in a slaughterhouse.

"The Yale University research team is careful to say that none of the brains regained the kind of organized electrical activity associated with consciousness or awareness. Still, the experiment described Wednesday in the journal Nature showed that a surprising amount of cellular function was either preserved or restored.

"The implications of this study have staggered ethicists, as they contemplate how this research should move forward and how it fits into the current understanding of what separates the living from the dead.

"'It was mind-blowing,' says Nita Farahany, who studies the ethics of emerging technologies at Duke Law School. 'My initial reaction was pretty shocked. It's a groundbreaking discovery, but it also really fundamentally changes a lot of what the existing beliefs are in neuroscience about the irreversible loss of brain function once there is deprivation of oxygen to the brain.'

"The brain is extremely sensitive to a lack of oxygen and shuts down quickly. But researchers have long known that viable cells can be removed from post-mortem brains hours after death, says Nenad Sestan, a neuroscientist at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn."

U.S. Navy UFO

From Jasper Hamill's 4-18-19 Metro article entitled "The U.S. Navy Secretly Designed a Super-fast Futuristic Aircraft Resembling a UFO, Documents Reveal":

"The U.S. Navy has been granted a patent for an advanced aircraft which resembles a flying saucer UFO. 

"Military inventors filed plans for a highly unusual flying machine which uses an ‘inertial mass reduction device’ to travel at ‘extreme speeds’. 

"What that means is that the aircraft uses complex technology to reduce its mass and thereby lessen inertia (an object’s resistance to motion) so it can zoom along at high velocities. 

"The patent is highly complex and describes methods of reducing the mass of an aircraft using various techniques including the generation of gravity waves, which were first detected in 2016 after being produced when two black holes collided.

"‘It is possible to reduce the inertial mass and hence the gravitational mass, of a system/object in motion, by an abrupt perturbation of the non-linear background of local spacetime,’ the patent says. 

"The craft described in the patent features a cavity wall filled with gas, which is then made to vibrate using powerful electromagnetic waves."

This then creates a vacuum around the craft, allowing it to propel itself at high speeds. 

The UFO-style ship can be used in water, air or even space.
