The pocket spy: Will your smartphone rat you out?

I’ve just walked into a windowless room on an industrial estate in Tamworth, UK, where three cellphone analysts in blue shirts sit at their terminals, scrutinising the contents of my phone and smirking. “If it’s any consolation, we would have found them even if you had deleted them,” says one.
Worse, it seems embarrassing text messages aren’t the only thing I have to worry about: “Is this a photo of your office?” another asks (the answer is yes). “And did you enjoy your pizza on Monday night? And why did you divert from your normal route to work to visit this address in Camberwell, London, on Saturday?”

A note to the people who do that sort of work. Free men and women might find it unacceptable, and they might keep tabs on you as well. Perhaps the street works both ways. Karma is a bitch like that.

Research why cellphones are so cheap, go back and investigate the massive countless billions $$ the government gave to the corprate buddies to ensure cellphones to be as cheap as a good lunch.
“Remember, your cell phone conversation is not protected under the law and they do not need a warrant to listen in on most cell phone to cell phone conversations (much like it is legal to listen in on police scanners and other type “two-way” radio frequencies. Law enforcement has been using people’s cellphones like advanced “bug” and everyone has their cellphones on their persons these days.”

don’t worry, kayhla…it’s not the free men and women they need to worry about. see, those that perform work of that nature are already under much more surveillance than you and i. keep in mind the legal terminology on all communications contracts (telephone, cell phone, internet, etc) “implied consent.” implied consent means that just for the privilege of paying to use the service, you consent to monitoring. don’t forget that anything you send over lines of communication is property of the communications company, not your own…you signed up for that little tidbit as well.

Has anyone seen Eagle Eye? There’s a part on there that states cellphones can be listened in on even if the phone is turned off. A friend of mine who works for an AT&T call center confirmed this myth to me, even going so far as to let me read the legal disclaimer he has to read to customers should any of this spying by AT&T result in any jail time for the customer. All of us on here are so freaked out by the RFID chip, but carry tracking and spying devices wherever we go. I suppose it’s just the way the bad guys sell it to us, huh?

I would think one would need to be able and have practice reading the tea leaves, sharpening that skill, staying away from cell phones as much as possible, as they scramble the cells in the human body and interfere with the human cells which have anteni, similar to the cell phone technology, and I am thinking perhaps that is part of intuition, or higher brain function that one would wish to maintain, to assist prayerfull conversation with God. Because , they are certainly not going to annouce the shit has hit the fan, your roads of access points to the wilderness are now blocked in advance. my roomie has a cell phone , and when he forgets it I place it in front of AJ’s rants on shoutcast.

Every so often, go over to your phone and just yell insults at the fuck-head snoops, who have no life, and are listening. (It’s actually fun, insulting some pathetic gov’t freak.

And you have to realize it’s not a person listening in on cellphone conversations but sophisticated batteries of computer’s that screen for keywords, elevated heartrate, tempo of conversation, ect. So, one might think it wouldn’t be reasonable to suspect that they have any reason to listen to your particular mundane station in life, as would most likely be the case if it was only a person listening in on cellphone communications, certainly then it would be considered paraniod to be worrying about such matters. But they probably have acres of underground superadvanced quantum computers with nothing better to do, might as well put all that processing power to use.

I just read the Book By Stephen king Called “Cell” which he wrote in 2006. It is a great book and I think what happens in this book could happen. At the end of the book it says he still does not own a cell phone. We now have proof that cell phones cause cancer. And they get rid of the wire head sets and brain wash us all to use a bluetooth which gives out more radiation. I am so stupid I have the new Palm Treo Pro and have the blue ant headset. I am not saying I have left my cell phone. I still pay sprint to give me cancer and take my phone with me everywhere I go. I do not ever leave with out my cell phone its with me now. They have brainwashed us to all have cell phones, how many pl. out there today do not own a cell phone? A small number I’m sure.

I use a pre paid cellphone for long trips, basically the only time I need a cell phone. And when not in use I wrap it in several layers of tin foil, rendering it unable to receive nuisance calls, and advertisement calls, which eat into my bill. My friends understand they may not be able to reach me , it is a pain in the ass for them and they think I am a bit paranoid, but who cares?

yeah, even if no one is tracking you, there still is the consideration that it causes brain tumors. I also heard that in your body, your cells actually communicate with a similar method that cell phone technology uses, that the body’s cells have antenna, and that cell phones interfere with the body’s own cellular antenna or antenii, and that this may be why a lot of people aren’t paranoid when they should be.

This is pretty old news, and true, I seem to remember posting a thread on the IPhone at abovetopsecret.com months ago.
Cell phones can be remotely activated and used as a wireless tap to hear conversation, and some of the newer ones have very good microphones.
Cell phones can give the user’s location away, either approximately through tower triangulation or exact if they have a GPS chip.
Cell phones give off microwave radiation, the effects of which has still to be studied but I would wager it’s not irrelevant.
Smartphones do not secure the users data.
This is the world we have to live in and everyone needs to be aware of how this all works. However there is still one major plus side: cell phones connect people, and people connected are what the NWO will fall to. So in the end all the efforts to keep people apart, and indeed soft kill a lot of them, will result in the end of the controllers themselves, as they will get submitted to their own dynamic. It’s happening now.
I use a cell phone. But very sparingly, less than 5 minutes a day. I never keep it on me. As for surveillance I decided long ago to always speak my mind, so I don’t care if people are indeed tracking and listening in on me. That is their prerogative and I am not going to concern myself with the free will of others when the effect on my life is minimal. But I will keep my cell, it’s an enemy and a tool of the NWO as it is mine, so I guess it’s how you use it that matters.
October 14th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
This is pretty scary tech. With the combo of the financial transaction capability, and the tracking via GPS, accelerometers, gyros, and pressure sensors, it seems these a-holes could know where you are with quite good accuracy. Seems to me the RFID chip we’ve all been worried about is already here- and it’s our freaking phones.

Have stash spots all around your area to cover (Ammo,small arms,MRE’s) . Safe houses to chill or not so safe house to hunker down in (Hide in the obvious, have you seen those leaf ponchos!!)
It will be an awesome deadly game of cat n mouse and we have to defend as long as we can.

Time for all good men to come together. Though few in number in the whole population we still vastly out number those who would chain us to a life of internal indebtness and servitude. Only fools would try to enslave a people who have access to 450 million guns. Only fools would dare to provoke a population with 80 million veterans of which 40 million are combat veterans. I don’t condone violence but what I see is that our government instead of addressing the grievances of the populace they sick their black clad goons on us. This can only end one way, as history is being played out once again and repeating itself. The same play but different cast and we all know how this story ends.

I see too many people who pretend to be scared of a device that you can simply put down. I bet half you people are calling someone you know or love today via a cell phone. I am no better, I use a cell phone too. The point is, who cares? Seriously it’s just a phone anyways. I don’t have internet access on the phone because unless your a stock broker or someone who needs to the minute statistics, it’s a useless feature. In essence, relax people. Take a breath and realize that some of these things will happen, but honestly, you have zero control over it and you should keep a steady mind.

As the time goes on , people of america have everyday less and less freedom due to politics conducted by federal power. Also , as a consequence of the economic crisis , more and more of them have lost their job and home. But the crisis is not finished , and in near future the consequences could be catastrophic. Keep in mind that any change can not come from the federal government , but only the people , the only source of any future chagement. If a majority of them think a change is possible , so it can be. A way to preserve freedom , ideals , welfare of people is federalism must come to an end. People will have to make a choise , federalism versus freedom , ideals , welfare… . The first could lead to the establishment of a martial law. A state as texas is ready to cross the line , it could be an example for the others. People could put under pressure every state government in the aim to declare secession , the american constitution allow such a decision. Such an aim can’t be aimed without any precaution , as it is evident the federal power is not ready to yield or abdicate. Probably , this one will use force to submit people , but constitution give garantees on firearms. people can put up a fight against the oppressive federal power if a political issue according to the will of people can not be lead. People have to make his will respect , otherwise it will be an opressed people. Saying that federalism must come to an end mean it must be break down , it appears to be the only way to preserve people. America can be easily imagined without federalism and preserved.

I like Alex Jones, and aplaud his work in getting the truth out there as that is not very easy and some of the stuff on here is informative but, what’s with all the Anti-Christic Obama imagery and what not ? Obama is hardly the archetect of America’s current situation which has long been in the process of fruitation. Hell, Obama has hardly been in office long enough. But I guess people need a face for their scapegoat since their real criminals are hidding in the shadows.
Clearly, a successful campaign of division has been in full force for a while and it has worked. While people are busy being divided and focused away from what really counts, their rights have slowly been infringed upon and the profiteers have made a killing.
As we speak, this country is on a full force race to collapse within and without and in the midsts of a constitutional crisis in my opinion.
