Google and Apple Use Planes That Can Film You Sunbathing

Google and Apple use planes that can film you sunbathing in your back garden

  • Software giants will use military-grade cameras to take powerful satellite images

Spy planes able to photograph sunbathers in their back gardens are being deployed by Google and Apple.

The U.S. technology giants are racing to produce aerial maps so detailed they can show up objects just four inches wide.

But campaigners say the technology is a sinister development that brings the surveillance society a step closer.

Hyper-real: 3D mapping services used by C3 Technologies (as purchased by Apple) will form the main part of the software giant's new mapping service

Google admits it has already sent planes over cities while Apple has acquired a firm using spy-in-the-sky technology that has been tested on at least 20 locations, including London.

Apple’s military-grade cameras are understood to be so powerful they could potentially see into homes through skylights and windows. The technology is similar to that used by intelligence agencies in identifying terrorist targets in Afghanistan.

Google will use its spy planes to help create 3D maps with much more detail than its satellite-derived Google Earth images.

Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, warned that privacy risked being sacrificed in a commercial ‘race to the bottom’.

‘The next generation of maps is taking us over the garden fence,’ he warned. ‘You won’t be able to sunbathe in your garden without worrying about an Apple or Google plane buzzing overhead taking pictures.’

He said householders should be asked for their consent before images of their homes go online. Apple is expected to unveil its new mapping applications for its iPhone and other devices today – along with privacy safeguards. Its 3D maps will reportedly show for the first time the sides of tall buildings, such as the Big Ben clock tower.

Google expects by the end of the year to have 3D coverage of towns and cities with a combined population of 300million. It has not revealed any locations so far.

Current 3D mapping technology relies on aerial images taken at a much lower resolution than the technology Apple is thought to be using. This means that when users ‘zoom in’, details tend to be lost because of the poor image quality.

Google ran into trouble when it emerged that its Street View cars, which gathered ground-level panoramic photographs for Google Maps, had also harvested personal data from household wifi networks.

The issue of Street View-style maps is already controversial thanks to Google's alleged data harvesting tactics

Emails, text messages, photographs and documents were taken from unsecured wifi networks all around Britain.

MILITARY TECHNOLOGY

Apple’s spy planes are believed to be equipped with technology developed by defence agencies to guide missile strikes.

Each plane is equipped with multiple cameras taking high-resolution photographs of buildings and landmarks from every possible angle, which are then compiled to make three-dimensional images.

The military-grade images are taken at a height of around 1,600ft, meaning people below are very unlikely to realise they are being photographed.

The cameras can be installed on planes, helicopters or even unmanned drones, although there are safety restrictions about the use of the latter in Britain.

A small plane carrying the cameras can photograph up to 100 square kilometres (38.6 square miles) every hour.

pugh

Google claimed it was a mistake even though a senior manager was warned as early as 2007 that the extra information was being captured. Around one in four home networks is thought to be unsecured because they lack password protection.

Little has been revealed about the technology involved in the spy planes used to capture the aerial images.

But they are thought to be able to photograph around 40 square miles every hour, suggesting they would be flying too quickly and at too great a height to access domestic wifi networks.
Like Google Maps, the resulting images would not be streamed live to computers but would provide a snapshot image of the moment the camera passed by.

Google pixellates faces and car number plates but faced criticism after its service showed one recognisable man leaving a sex shop and another being sick in the street.

Amie Stepanovich, of the Electronic Privacy Information Centre in America, said she believed Apple and Google would be forced to blur out homes in the same way Street View pixellates faces.

She said: ‘With satellite images, privacy is built in because you can’t zoom down into a garden. Homeowners need to be asked to opt in to show their property in high definition – otherwise it should be blurred out.’

Apple has previously used Google for its mapping services but last year it emerged it had bought C3 Technologies, a 3D mapping company that uses technology developed by Saab AB, the aerospace and defence company.

At the time C3 had already mapped 20 cities and it is believed to have added more with Apple’s backing. Its photographs have been shot from 1,600ft and one C3 executive described it as ‘Google on steroids’.

There are already 3D maps available online for most big city centres, but the images are often low resolution, meaning they are of little use for navigation and users cannot zoom in on detail.
Critics have argued that Apple and Google will face a backlash if they offer detailed 3D mapping of residential areas in suburbs and rural locations.

Romney's Wealth

With all the noise the media is making about Romney's wealth, I don't recall such bluster and hand-wringing over the Kennedy fortune. Or, for that matter, John Kerry.

Or the fact that John  Kerry gave virtually nothing to charity while Romney gave something on the order of $4 million...in addition to his  entire inheritance from his father.

Oh. Wait. I just remembered. Romney is Republican. Kerry and the Kennedy's
are Democrats. Also, Romney worked for his money. Kennedy inherited his. And Kerry married it.
 
Never mind. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

Obama Charges $1,000 Per Handshake

President Obama’s fan base is willing to pay through the nose to get a glimpse of him. In fact, supporters in Dearborn, Michigan showed up today to shell out $1,000 just to shake the hand of The One.

“A thousand dollars is a lot of money,” Lonnie Peek, one of the fortunate few to touch Obama personally, told CBS. “But other folks are kickin’ in for their candidates, so what you do is you bite the bullet. You wanna have your conscience good, to feel that this is what I did. You know, you go without a couple of meals. We can miss a couple meals.”

Lonnie Peek, by the way, gave Obama $2,000 during the 2008 election cycle. He’s apparently a former member of the Citywide Citizens Action Committee, “possibly the most broadly based Black Power organization in any city,” according to articles at the time of its founding; he is a self-described racial “militant.

Law of Attraction... A little history

(This is also in Mystical but will get buried there by dream requests, so am also blogging it)

This is from a book called Occult America

The Secret History of How Mysticism Shaped Our Nation

by Mitch Horowitz

(Regarding New Thought)

Even the movement's central concept - the Law of Attraction - could appear jerry-rigged. This spiritual "law" had its origins in the work of andrew Jackson Davis, although he never quite intended for how it came to be used. In 1855, writing in Volume IV of another of his massive treatsies, The Great Harmonia, Davis coned the trm Law of Attraction to describe the human soul's affinity for different spheres of the afterlife. Remade by New Thoughters - and later resurfacing as the catch phrase of The Secret and numerous motivational best sellers - the Law of Attraction meant that whatever a person or group of people dwelled upon in their thoughts would manifest in events good or bad, joyous, or catastrophic, in their eartly lives, presumably whether one was a slave or wealthy slaveholder, a person of robust health or a sickly child. Coming from a movement based in hope and limitless potential, such thinking could seem like a naively cruel calculus. While outcroppings of New Thought would appear in other nations, including South Africa and Japan (The Secret was made in Australia), this way of reasoning confined the philosophy largely to an American middle class, where the security of life was a relative given.

_____________________________________________________________

So many think that the Law of Attraction came from The Secret I just thought it was interesting that it came from an 1855 book.

The Illuminati / Freemason Signature

 by Robert Howard

Updated 11/30/2001

 In my research regarding the Freemason's, United States Presidents and The Masonic Power Structure I was constantly running into the number 13 and 33. This research confirmed that most of the founding fathers were Masons. It also confirmed that most of the Presidents were Masons. My first run in with 13 of course was the 13 colonies. Second was the great Seal. 

For a detailed look at the number 11 see Destruction of the Trade Centers: Occult Symbolism Indicates Enemies Within Our Own Government

 "The numbers 3, 7, 9,11,13, 33, 39. Any multiple of these numbers have special meaning to the Illuminati. Notice that the Bilderberg Group has core of 39 members who are broken into 3 groups of 13 members in each group. Notice that the core of 39 answers to the 13 who make up the Policy Committee. Take special notice that the 13 members of the Policy Committee answer to the Round Table of Nine. You know that the original number of states in the United States of America was 13. The Constitution has 7 articles and was signed by 39 members of the Constitutional Convention." Secret Societies / New World Order: by Milton William Cooper

 

"President Kennedy was wounded in the exact three same spots as Hiram Abif, who was murdered in the Masonic initiation, representing the persecution of the Templars on Friday, the 13th, in the year 1307, where Hiram Abif is struck in the back, and in the throat, and in the head. Dealey Plaza is just a very few short miles from the 33rd parallel. The highest degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the Meritorious Degree, the Degree of the Illuminati, whose motto is "Ordo Ab Chao" or "Out of Chaos Comes Order"--which literally means if they break down the existing structure and cause the population to cry out for order, they will emerge as the rulers and will have the world that they seek." United States Presidents And The Masonic Power Structure

Obama Signs NDAA, Goodbye 4th Amendment

President Obama signed the National Defense Appropriation Act, a law that ends the 4th Amendment in the United States unless the Supreme Court overturns it.

He offered this explanation.

The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not mean I agree with everything in it. In particular, I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.

Here is a man with a law degree telling us that he signed a bill into law, despite serious reservations. Who cares what reservations he has? He signed it into law.

Then he added this PR fluff.

Over the last several years, my Administration has developed an effective, sustainable framework for the detention, interrogation and trial of suspected terrorists that allows us to maximize both our ability to collect intelligence and to incapacitate dangerous individuals in rapidly developing situations, and the results we have achieved are undeniable. Our success against al-Qa’ida and its affiliates and adherents has derived in significant measure from providing our counterterrorism professionals with the clarity and flexibility they need to adapt to changing circumstances and to utilize whichever authorities best protect the American people, and our accomplishments have respected the values that make our country an example for the world.

Secretly study people for healthy sanity

"SECRET STUDY Anyone can practice to increase healthy sanity,
just as music or science is practiced. One rewarding method
is to secretly study people to discover a man's slavery to
Attack Back. Attack Back is any unhealthy reaction, such as
rude remarks, whining demands, slanderous lies. The stronger
the Attack Back the weaker the man. Lacking intelligence for
a sane reply, his heaven is to hurt. Your study of this human
lunacy drives you sane."

A Letter From Goldman Sachs Re: Occupy Wall Street

A Letter from Goldman Sachs
Concerning Occupy Wall Street

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)– The following is a letter released today by Lloyd Blankfein, the chairman of banking giant Goldman Sachs:

Dear Investor:

Up until now, Goldman Sachs has been silent on the subject of the protest movement known as Occupy Wall Street. That does not mean, however, that it has not been very much on our minds. As thousands have gathered in Lower Manhattan, passionately expressing their deep discontent with the status quo, we have taken note of these protests. And we have asked ourselves this question:

How can we make money off them?

The answer is the newly launched Goldman Sachs Global Rage Fund, whose investment objective is to monetize the Occupy Wall Street protests as they spread around the world. At Goldman, we recognize that the capitalist system as we know it is circling the drain – but there’s plenty of money to be made on the way down.

The Rage Fund will seek out opportunities to invest in products that are poised to benefit from the spreading protests, from police batons and barricades to stun guns and forehead bandages. Furthermore, as clashes between police and protesters turn ever more violent, we are making significant bets on companies that manufacture replacements for broken windows and overturned cars, as well as the raw materials necessary for the construction and incineration of effigies.

It would be tempting, at a time like this, to say “Let them eat cake.” But at Goldman, we are actively seeking to corner the market in cake futures. We project that through our aggressive market manipulation, the price of a piece of cake will quadruple by the end of 2011.

Please contact your Goldman representative for a full prospectus. As the world descends into a Darwinian free-for-all, the Goldman Sachs Rage Fund is a great way to tell the protesters, “Occupy this.” We haven’t felt so good about something we’ve sold since our souls.

Sincerely,

Lloyd Blankfein

Chairman, Goldman Sachs

The Observor

"THE OBSERVER

One man in the lunatic asylum was known as the Observer.
Everyone called him this because of his habit of sitting
quietly and patiently observing the other inmates. While
the others engaged in friendly chats or helped each other
in small tasks, the Observer watched quietly and took notes.
His written conclusions filled dozens of pages.

One afternoon, wishing to test his discoveries, he walked
over to one of the men. 'Sir,' said the Observer, 'I notice
that you eagerly give loads of advice to everyone on any
subject. But isn't it a fact that all you really have to
give is childish nonsense which you pass off as wisdom?'

When hearing this, the man's body shook with rage, which
the Observer promptly noted on a page."

Project Blue Beam

NWO Project Blue Beam: False Holographic Second Coming

3.9.2010 Research Update By Chase K. Hunter

I am writing this essay to warn the world about what is about to occur in the next few years. The time period to watch is between 2012 and 2019.

The world apostasy known in Christian circles as the "advent of the Antichrist" is beginning. People who learn the truth must discreetly warn others that Maitreya will attempt to "pose as the return of Christ" on a world scale and the greatest spiritual deception in the history of the world will commence if unsuspecting souls accept him as a messiah. Maitreya is the final false Christ spoken of in the Book of Revelations.

Christians around the world are being warned inwardly by the Holy Spirit about who and what Maitreya really is. Maitreya has been secretly meeting with world leaders for over 20 years. He was first photographed in Kenya in 1988.

What has Maitreya been secretly planning with world leaders for 22 years?

Does it relate to RFID Chip Technology, brain RFID chip implants, controlling the entire world population and the global money supply through the use of human RFID chipping? Does it pertain to a one world government without voter consent, the North American Union, the Amero, a cashless RFID chipped society controlled by world bankers? Watch every video on this linked page before you leave this site.

Now is the time to network with other Christians and persons of faith to share what we know. If you fail to speak out against these evil plans for a one world government, you will fail not only your children and grandchildren, but everyone you know and love, and the human race itself. There are 6 biliion of us, and about 300 to 400 of "them" at the very top tier of the hidden Illuminati world ruling elite, making these plans. God is on our side, but you have to act. Raise awareness. Refuse to listen to any more American TV CNN garbage which tries to tell you and your children that "RFID is the wave of the future."

WE CREATE OUR FUTURE, NOT THE AMERICAN TV MEDIA. TV is the MOUTHPIECE of the BEAST. RFID Chip technology is the Mark of the Beast.

Maitreya's False Signs & Wonders Begin

YOU SHOULD REALLY PUT SPECIAL PERMISSIONS ON TO BE ALLOWED TO USE THIS EDITING THING. ANYONE CAN DO IT OBVIOUSLY. NOT SAFE FOR THE INFO YOU KNOW.

Urgent breaking news for all Christians and American Patriots - False Messiah and global Antichrist "Lord Maitreya" has claimed affiliation with the HAARP project blue beam - the artificially manifested "fake star of bethlehem" popularly called the Norway Spiral - this final global false Christ figure is now planning his worldwide appearance as the false Messiah. Spread this news report far and wide. Hurry for we have very little time.

2010 Will Separate the men from the boys and the women from the girls spiritually. Are you ready? Gird your loins and prepare your soul for what is to come. I genuinely hope I am wrong about what I am about to say, but it is on my heart to say it and I will just let the chips fall where they may.

As 2010 approaches, spiritually awakened truth seekers around the world should be watching for these emerging global apostasy end times related events:

The international introduction of the global new world order Illuminati Antichrist and new age false Messiah "Maitreya", who is based in London and promoted by PR man Benjamin Creme. Study the videos collected on this page. TV ads promoting Maitreya as the return of Christ have already been airing on Fox News network. CNN reportedly will air the ads as well.

Copper Wire

Subject: Copper Wire --

After having dug to a depth of 100 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, a Pennsylvania archaeologist dug to a depth of 200 feet and shortly after, a story in the Wall Street Journal read: "Pennsylvania archaeologists' discovery of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."

One week later, A local newspaper in Texas reported the following: "After digging as deep as 300 feet in his pasture near Lubbock , TX, Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Texas had already gone wireless." Just makes you proud to be a Texan doesn't it?

More wisdom from Vernon Howard

"What about the positive virtues, like love, patience, humility,
that make for a rich life? How can we acquire them?

They appear spontaneously when you find yourself. The True Self
possesses all these natural virtues. But there is something of
extreme importance for you to remember. Every genuine virtue
has its counterfeit.

The counterfeit of humility could be an assumed pose for the
purpose of making a good impression. Someone may want something
from you, and so he presents a pleasant and kindly manner. But
it will vanish quickly enough if he is thwarted. His real nature
then reveals itself, perhaps in rage or arrogance. You must be
very careful that you do not assume that other people are what
they appear to be. You must be a wise judge of human nature."

Biden Says You Are A Terrorist

Written on August 2, 2011 by V2ABiden Says You are a ‘Terrorist’

Joe Biden called Tea Party members “terrorists.” That’s right. People who believe in the Constitution, the right to vote, curtailing spending money that we don’t have, and stopping the creation of money out of thin air are terrorists. The terrorists I know blow up polling stations, kill government officials they don’t agree with, fly planes loaded with passengers into buildings, slit the throats of captives, blow up churches, kill ministers, bomb synagogues, use women and children has human bombs, hijack planes, kidnap foreign hostages, and so much more.

So Mr. Biden, can you name a single Tea Party advocate who has engaged in ANY of these practices? Just one will do. Of course, you can’t. But since the media offers similar comments about the Tea Party, I doubt that there will be much coverage of your comments from the once mainstream media. The media coverage I have seen is supplying cover for the Vice President’s latest ‘gaffe.’

If former Vice President Cheney had made such an idiotic statement, he would have been excoriated in the media. Every Democrat would be calling for his resignation. “How dare he sully the reputation of citizens who only want a rightful voice in their government,” they would charge. As far as I can see, there’s been so outrage, just some scant reporting by the rising alternative media.http://visiontoamerica.org/2837/biden-says-you-are-a-terrorist/
