everything you do is stored on a database

gotcha... I have heard that they store and study the way people type(not from a conspiracy theorist) and what people search for, purchase...etcetc... so I guess it could be true that they try to store date and see developing trends for marketing research... I know that would make some sense..they do have some huge rooms full of computers saving information....but when it comes down to it, what the hell is the point? people are somewhat spontaneous, as well are their needs and purchases... it seems like a little too much work, and like giving 'them' a little too much credit, ya know?

 

There is no point. Lol, too much credit:YES.

Yeah, you can sign up to have what you type into google - and other search engines- , stored. Obviously companies also do market research, too. But neither one could be connected to you personally. It is just your area, your age and sex ... those kind of details. Not your name etc.
That's also voluntary.

 

Off the grid for two years now,
nice not getting electricity bills

Very very quiet here, except for the birds and elk.
Seems like we are the noisy ones around here.

I don't belelive that EVERYTHING is on database. But to think that the powers that be don't eavesdrop is absurd. The technology exists. So why the hell woudnt they.

And to the nay sayers that think the techonolgy is Sci fi. I have recently had the opportunity to play with a friends IPHONE. On this phone there is an Application, that you can get which listens to a couple of seconds of ANY ... and I emphasize ANY song and within seconds it tells you the artist, album, label, and year recorded! And I tested it on REally Really old country recordings like the Carter Family. :O.

I pitty who ever is naive enough to think that this sort of techonology is one way only.

A couple of keystrokes and i'm sure we the people/users can be the database.

 

Of course if he did say he had insider information and presented, i can bet big bucks that you or another theorist would find some "more credible" document that proves his wrong as well as proves that it was placed in his hands by "the man" in order to further their imperial tendencies or some other shit.

One name comes to mind. George Orwell.

 

its not really one single database but a collection of resources.

if a certain person is causing trouble and make him/herself noticed "they" can and probably will look into them. it'll probably be like the FBI or some other agency that will do a background check, credit check, parking tickets etc.

if they are able to access your county's database that has everybody's information then finding out who you are [even if it is vaguely general] isn't that hard.

if "they" want to know more they can hack your computer and see what you have been up to, hack your cell to see who you been talking to, track your credit card to see what you have been buying.

this is nothing new.

if you dont attract attention they shouldn't look at you. maybe a glance because some one was bored but what are the odds of that?

 

I sometimes think everything I do is stored somewhere .. if thats really the case(apart from being store in my memory) im completely fucked when someone else reviews my past.

 

Yes and No.

It is not like their is enough personal to comb through every mundane telephone conversation or average email. But there are certain trigger words and phrases that will get you into the database. The list of the those trigger words/phrases likely numbering in the 1000s already.

 

I'm not sure about these "trigger words"...people use language in a variety of ways.
It seems odd that the mere fact I may say: bomb...will bring MI5 to my door.
Surely they target individuals for other reasons.
I dunno.

 

in terms of the internet and computers, monitoring is great...esp if you have the elite on speed dial.

The simplist fact is that microsoft's software could have backdoors, key loggers and self updating monitoring software.
Google is pretty much a data aggregator, have you seen google trends? which are really handy for sales...monitoring search trends etc, change your marketing to suit the season.

anywho. What is more important than what the individual is doing is what the population is doing, lets face it...one person will do very little, a society is very active...and powerful. If you have a model of a countries psyche then you have them under your thumb.

Maybe a lot of you watch the doco's on 9/11, NWO etc etc down the rabbit hole. Well, I think that stuff is there on purpose and it puts you in a box, smaller and smaller the box gets until you suffocate...until you cannot even see what you've let them rob you of...your sanity. An insane man may know someting magical...but never enough to tell people, and if he does...well they're so far ahead it doesn't matter...even if it were true.

i thought everything was stored in semen>;\(

 

Not really such an outlandish conspiracy theory this one.


As processor speeds increase and cost of memory decreases, wouldnt be that hard down the track for people to right software to pattern match all the info.

100 years from now your great great grandaughter could be doing a geneology high school assignment and pull up all the porn sites that were visited from computers at the address of your ISP account was billed to during your college days.

Privacy of information is irrelevant if illegally obtained info from key loggers, network sniffers is matched against router tables and the like

 

If you go to youtube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Aldous+Huxley+interview&search_type=&aq=f and watch these interviews; huxley even said himself his vision was more likely to happen over 1984 .. not for some egotistical reason but for the simple fact it would be more economic, reliable and efficent way of controlling the masses.

 

Huxley's vision was definitely much closer to the truth than Orwell's, though both made a lot of good points. Huxley's vision is coming true by the minute (or already has). Orwell's may follow, depending on the route that everything takes.

 

Once again, blame the conservatives when the Left is just as guilty. It's all the same damn thing, and I don't think anyone can really find the truth about what's going on in the world if they still pretend that isn't so. Left/Right is, to use the words of a certain unperson, a false paradigm.

 

I'm not a conservative. You're clearly very political, which I already knew, and it does seem to be a habit among political people to think in terms of 'us vs. them': e.g. if I'm not on your side (Left), I must be on their side (Right). I am certainly no more in favour of conservative political groups than I am of left-wing groups because, as I said, you get the same bullshit from both sides. You must be wearing a massive set of blinders if you think the left is looking out for your welfare. I wish you wouldn't try to stifle disagreement by labeling people as conservatives (a grave insult, on this site), or worse, propagandists. It's not good form.
