This is straight to the story the comments are about:

Wikileaks reveals “TrapWire,” a government spy network that uses ordinary surveillance cameras



A few years ago I was noticing cameras set up at almost every stop light. I ask someone about them. At first I don't think he believed me. Later he told me that it wasn't our Fire Department or our Police Department monitoring them.

Now I don't see them but I haven't really checked very well. I can't imagine going to any more trouble than to just disable them if they were functioning.

This is why I am trying to get some outrage up at the highway cameras that popped up all over NH in the last year.

Fed funded and run by some creepy "private" surveillance company down in Maryland that probably has a router direct to NSA.

Fuck all this.

And fuck the people that scoffed about this happening just a few years ago.

Less and less I care about what any "mainstreamer" has to say about anything in this regard.

Ya'll have been consistently and repeatedly wrong about things regarding the surveillance society how fast it came upon us and what it can do and is doing.

Ya'll need to sit down and STFU as far as I'm concerned.

Yah, this has been under the radar for a while now.

IIRC, the reason it's making news right now is because the program was confirmed by some government functionary.

I liked this comment:

"Change we can believe in"

Thankfully Paul Ryan voted for NDAA....OH, WAIT.

This is on twitter and almost ONLY on twitter. I posted it a couple of days ago and few people had heard of it, apparently

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


Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/trapw...#ixzz23H9SfMYn

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, according to emails hacked by Anonymous.

So I was talking with a friend at church today. She said her son went to visit the police station for a field trip and found out that our police have acqired four new police cars with sensors that can tell them everything about the cars around them. And that for a recent OWS protest, the cops didn't bother to patrol the event, but they just used surveillance cameras, unbeknownst to the protesters.

This is not the America I grew up in. And it's not just Obama's fault.

The parent company: http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/17/nation/na-abraxas17

The employee roster at Arbaxas reads like a who’s who of agents once with the Pentagon, CIA and other government entities according to their public LinkedIn profiles, and the corporation's ties are assumed to go deeper than even documented. The details on Abraxas and, to an even greater extent TrapWire, are scarce, however, and not without reason. For a program touted as a tool to thwart terrorism and monitor activity meant to be under wraps, its understandable that Abraxas would want the program’s public presence to be relatively limited. But thanks to last year’s hack of the Strategic Forecasting intelligence agency, or Stratfor, all of that is quickly changing."

that author is running for Congress in FL CD 20 and has been fighting trapwire and NDAA constantly on twitter. NDAA and TSA were what led him to endorse Ron last year.

I wonder if he knows his links aren't working.

That link you quoted works, perhaps it was just shifted for some reason.

Just another nexus of the "private" and the government.

One is just as bad as the other when it comes to this shit.

The future is fail.
