Yes, the government can use your phone, your computer and even potentially your television to spy on what you are doing inside your own home. On Tuesday, Wikileaks released thousands of documents that prove what virtually every “conspiracy theorist” in America has been saying for years about government spying. And I don’t even like to use the term “conspiracy theorist” much, because the truth is that most “conspiracy theorists” are simply citizen journalists that are attempting to expose things that the mainstream media doesn’t want to talk about. And one of the things that the mainstream media has always been hesitant to address is the unconstitutional surveillance that U.S. intelligence agencies systematically conduct on their own citizens. But now the mainstream media is being forced to talk about government surveillance because Wikileaks has just exposed it for all the world to see. According to Wikileaks, the CIA has been secretly running “its ‘own NSA’ with even less accountability and without publicly answering the question as to whether such a massive budgetary spend on duplicating the capacities of a rival agency could be justified”. It is known as the Central Intelligence Agency’s Center for Cyber Intelligence, and it has produced “more than a thousand hacking systems, trojans, viruses, and other ‘weaponized’ malware”. In fact, the computer or phone that you are reading this article on may be infected with one of their programs right now. The documents that were released by Wikileaks show that government spooks can remotely take control of Apple iPhones, Google Android phones, Microsoft Windows operating systems and Samsung smart televisions, and once in control of those devices they can use them to spy on their owners. The ironic thing is that while Barack Obama and members of Congress have been accusing Russia of conducting cyberattacks, the truth is that U.S. intelligence agencies have been perhaps the biggest offenders of all. This is an absolutely massive scandal, and I truly hope that it gets the attention that it deserves in the days ahead. The following is a portion of the press release that Wikileaks issued on Tuesday… Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized “zero day” exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive. “Year Zero” introduces the scope and direction of the CIA’s global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of “zero day” weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android and Microsoft’s Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones. Since 2001 the CIA has gained political and budgetary preeminence over the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The CIA found itself building not just its now infamous drone fleet, but a very different type of covert, globe-spanning force — its own substantial fleet of hackers. The agency’s hacking division freed it from having to disclose its often controversial operations to the NSA (its primary bureaucratic rival) in order to draw on the NSA’s hacking capacities. By the end of 2016, the CIA’s hacking division, which formally falls under the agency’s Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI), had over 5000 registered users and had produced more than a thousand hacking systems, trojans, viruses, and other “weaponized” malware. Such is the scale of the CIA’s undertaking that by 2016, its hackers had utilized more code than that used to run Facebook. After learning about this, you may never look at your smart TV the same way again. In fact, according to the documents that Wikileaks has given us the CIA can even use your smart TV to spy on you when it appears to be turned off… A program dubbed “Weeping Angel” after an episode of the popular British TV science fiction series “Dr. Who,” can set a Samsung smart TV into a fake “off” mode to fool the consumer into thinking the TV isn’t recording room sounds when it still is. The conversations are then sent out via the user’s server. The program was developed in conjunction with MI5, the British FBI equivalent of a domestic counterintelligence and security agency, according to the WikiLeaks documents. And if your phone has been infected by the CIA, they can remotely turn on the camera and microphone whenever they want and use the phone as a GPS locator to track you wherever you go. The following comes from USA Today… CIA-created malware can penetrate and then control the operating systems for both Android and iPhone phones, allege the documents. This software would allow the agency to see the user’s location, copy and transmit audio and text from the phone and covertly turn on the phone’s camera and microphone and then send the resulting images or sound files to the agency. Just two days ago I wrote a major article warning that the government has the capability to do these sorts of things. This stuff is really going on, and it needs to stop now. I warned about some of this advanced “Big Brother technology” in my apocalyptic novel “The Beginning Of The End“, and many of us have been screaming about what U.S. intelligence agencies have been doing for years and years. Now that President Trump is extremely upset that the government was spying on him, let us hope that he steps up to the plate and puts an end to this unconstitutional surveillance for good. In the documents that Wikileaks has just released there is even discussion about the CIA potentially being able to infect a vehicle control system. Presumably the goal would be to remotely take control of a vehicle and either spy on the occupants or kill them by driving into an obstacle at very high speed. And if you can believe it, the CIA has also been developing ways to make it look like a cyberattack that they conducted actually came from the Russians. The following comes from an article by Jerome Corsi… The Wikileaks “Vault 7” drop of CIA cyber-warfare documents contains the startling revelation that the CIA, under a project identified as “Umbrage,” maintained a substantial library of Russian cyber-attack techniques “stolen” from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation. Of course when it comes to violations of privacy, the NSA is even worse than the CIA. The NSA systematically collects all forms of digital communication and stores them in a giant data center out in Utah. So nothing that you do on a digital device is ever truly private. If you don’t believe the article that I posted the other day, perhaps you will believe a 36 year veteran of the NSA named William Binney… President Donald Trump is “absolutely right” to claim he was wiretapped and monitored, a former NSA official claimed Monday, adding that the administration risks falling victim to further leaks if it continues to run afoul of the intelligence community. “I think the president is absolutely right. His phone calls, everything he did electronically, was being monitored,” Bill Binney, a 36-year veteran of the National Security Agency who resigned in protest from the organization in 2001, told Fox Business on Monday. Everyone’s conversations are being monitored and stored, Binney said. Did you catch that last sentence? Binney knows very well that all of our conversations are systematically being monitored and stored because he helped build the systems that do it. Now that all of this is out in the open, America has two choices. We can end this unconstitutional surveillance and go back to being a nation that respects privacy, or we can allow it to continue and keep heading down the road toward becoming a “Big Brother” surveillance society far worse than anything that George Orwell ever warned about. The NSA Is Spying On All Your Conversations

Ok, so the CIA has been spying on us, my worst nightmare is they should know the contents of my fridge,or see how untidy I can be, but seriously, these are the same people who brought you WMD in IRAQ, and didn't see 9/11 coming. How is it they can be smart about electronic stuff and totally blind to the terrorists? With this revelation I am going to avoid telephones, computers, television, smart appliances, modern cars because BIG BROTHER is with us and we know who he is
Uh, what is the Hell is new here and why is so much to do being made about all of this now? I have known for years, it has long been common knowledge, that the government agencies have the ability to spy on your smartphone….even if it's turned off. They can listen to your conversations and use your camera although you have powered off your phone. Even Snowden told everyone this….no one remembers? I remember reading all this from Snowden back sometime in 2014 or earlier. This monitoring is most likely done with a type of invisible spying app….and spying apps aren’t anything NEW. They have long been used by corporations, hackers and everyone else wanting personal information on someone for whatever reasons. I know there are at least 20 spy apps available for purchase….and there are more. The spying app does not only steal your surfing history, text messages and photos….it also gives full access to your phone’s microphone and camera. But now, we are all supposed to panic, just because someone says for us to panic now....why not years ago when this information was first made public? Bullshit. Ever conspiracy theorist in American has had their head up their ass and lock there if they didn’t already know this information….years ago.
It was perfectly legal for Obama to listen to Trump's phone calls. It's the FISA exception for the president that the D&R congress passed! The GOP so loved Jimmy Carter that they gave him, and every president since immunity to spy on everyone. Your first choice should be to sober up. Your second should be to learn the difference between the NSA and the CIA. The CIA charter prevents them from operating in America,and the FBI keeps close tabs on them to make sure they don't. It's a "turf thing" with the Feebs. On the other hand,the NSA has the ability as well as the right to pretty much read anyone's mail that interests them. That's why they are called the NATIONAL SECURITY Agency. Don't worry. Your paranoid fantasies aren't serious enough to interest them,but it IS a good idea to just assume they are occasionally reading your "mail". Your "mail" may be very interesting to you,but to people who aren't you and who don't know you,it's probably about as exciting as watching snot dry. Especially compared to some of the prize-winning whackjobs whose mail they read every day. BTW,"mail" is shorthand for all correspondences in this situation. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
I'm a little surprised there is anyone who hasn't know this for years,and shocked that any of the conspiracy nuts haven't know it. Then again,some of these people keep confusing the CIA with the NSA.

Some of these folks live in an eternal state of confusion and their mission in life is to spread more confusion….not eliminate it. It appears that some have as their main action in life, to deliberately arouse public fear….always sounding the alarm about one thing or another. Fear mongering….that's what it is.
So the vast majority have nothing to fear, how about those who aspire to be leaders? If the NSA knows everybodies foibles and sins, they can control only those who rise to prominence thus controlling every other person. Spying is bad, it leads to nothing. No safety, no Liberty and no privacy. I would rather dozens die per day than be living in this police state.
Exercising rights is only radical to two people, Tyrants and Slaves. Which are YOU? Our ignorance has driven us into slavery and we do not recognize it.
I realize how you feel, but you must realize there is no longer any such thing as privacy. In this day and age, those who aspire to be leaders must live their lives like it is a open book for all to see….because in reality, it is and they can. That might be just a little bit overly dramatic, but I can understand your feeling and concern. However, your concern may be misplaced about the “police state” spying on you because anyone can now get apps to track you, steal data, control your microphone and camera even when your phone is turned off. Amateurs can easily do this….just imagine what well trained hackers can do above and beyond this. In the electronic age we live in, personal privacy is something we all can kiss goodbye. It is something we cannot control - we can only carefully watch what information we electronically produce….realizing that someone, somewhere and at sometime probably will be able to view that, if they wish to do so. Our personal data is never going to be private again. even if we were able to stop the NSA and the CIA, the system is so pervasive that other countries can still reach electronically inside America and do the same thing as the NSA and CIA….they already are. This is something we can no longer control….unfortunately we must learn to control what we say and do if we wish that it never be made public. I digressed, back to the point. That is true. While again remembering: If you can’t control “it” and you can’t….then you must continually consider what information you put into “it” by realizing that all information can be made public at anytime.
What about them? Most likely 99 percent of them are government informants,or actual government agents that are role-playing. If the NSA knows everybodies foibles and sins, they can control only those who rise to prominence thus controlling every other person. They don't know,or even care about everybody's sins. They focus on the ones that seem to be the most dangerous. IF you post something on the net that seems radical they MIGHT focus on you for a short time while they search for your posting history so they can categorize you as "ignore","maybe check occasionally",or "watch like a hawk",but they are busy people and have better things to do than spend all day reading random brain farts. Spying is bad, it leads to nothing. What color is the sky on your home planet? Unless you are 9 years old,you are a freaking retard if you really believe that nonsense. The good news is that if you ARE 9 years old,soon you will be 10 and know better. No safety, no Liberty and no privacy. I would rather dozens die per day than be living in this police state. Providing of course that no one in your family or you are doing the dying. If yo make any other claim,you are a liar on top of being a fool. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW!

In the most basic sense,nothing has changed since the day writing and speaking were invented. If you want to maintain personal privacy,control what you say and what you write to other people. "Minding your own business" has more than one meaning,but only one of the definitions is personal. It really ain't all that complicated. BTW,I just found out on another board today that I am a federal agent. Now I'm pissed and wanting to know where my paychecks went. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW!

On Tuesday, Wikileaks released thousands of documents that prove what virtually every “conspiracy theorist” in America has been saying for years about government spying. I'm not sure who is supposed to have been denying that government agencies can spy on us all these years. NSA has wiretapped us all before and got caught. FBI can, with a warrant, for a wide variety of crimes. CIA can do so if a foreign national is involved and it is a matter of national security. I'm not sure who has supposedly been denying this.
Good point. For me,the hilarious part is it is the tin foil headgear crowd shrieking in rage and fear over this,just like they suddenly discovered it today. Ya kinda got to wonder if these people can remember last week,don't you? BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

And on the other hand, many of us are more than mildly concerned to see the Fourth Amendment steadily rent to shreds. After all what did so many come to these shores for generation after generation but for the promise of liberties protected under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? We should be wary indeed of erring down the path tread by Germans and Russians whistling in the dark and telling ourselves, "The government knows best." There, I am done shrieking in rage and fear. Cheeers.
Just exactly what is it you think the government is elected to do,if it's not defend the nation against subversion and terrorist attacks based in and from other countries?

I have a personal story to relate to you that happened long before the internet was present. It shows that individual and personal data collection has already been around for ages. I traveled with my family to spend 30 days each summer sightseeing Europe and visiting family, especially in Austria. During the 1960s I had an in-law in Austria who was a construction engineer for a large Austrian company with building contracts in East Germany. I was told by this in-law that on his first job in East Germany he was interview for a security clearance by the East German Ministry for State Security [better known as the Stasi]. They already had a file on him and during the questioning, the Stasi pulled out a dossier on me revealing to him they knew I was an Air Force officer who frequently visited Europe and spent a large amount of that time in Austria where he lived. They question him about his association with me. They never revealed to him all the information they had on me….he figured they only wanted to make sure he was not there to spy on them and report info through me. His answers satisfied the Stasi and he was able to work many different construction contracts in East Germany for some years. I was not surprised when he told this story to me. I just mention this to show that data farming is nothing new….even before the “age of electronics.”
So the vast majority have nothing to fear …

And I haven’t been receiving my paychecks either.
Maybe “the checks are the mail”….still.
