Uncovering Secret Surveillance Methods Used by Government and Big Business
Discover the extent of constant government and corporate monitoring, spanning from utility meters and home devices to classified NSA programs like PRISM. What are the secret reasons for tracking millions of citizens daily, and how can you confront this surveillance state?
Short Summary
- The NSA aggressively monitors American correspondence, escalating activities significantly after 9/11, as exposed by Edward Snowden.
- Surveillance extends beyond digital communication to physical tracking via facial recognition (Trap Wire), drones, and even harvesting biometric data from consumer devices.
- Corporations like Facebook and Verizon actively cooperate with government data collection programs (PRISM), often concealing these partnerships.
- Emerging and planned technologies (e.g., DARPA cyborg insects, FAST lie detection) aim to predict intent, potentially eliminating private thought.
- The massive Bluffdale data center exists to store the entire digital trail of citizens indefinitely for future (and potentially unstated) analysis.
This episode reveals the pervasive "Big Brother" state, comparing modern surveillance capabilities to dystopian fiction. Whistleblowers expose massive, secretive data collection affecting every digital interaction and detail of daily life. Understand how technology, business partnerships, and government agencies converge to erode privacy in our time.

This show is at least 10 years old. Multiply everything by 10,000 and that's the extent of this now.
This is something I've always known. It's no surprise to me. And this info on this show barely scratched the surface.
This is only what the government allowed us to know about.
Remember kids, if the government can do whatever they want, so can you😂
Viewing from my govt monitored phone ....THAT I PAY FOR! 😢😢

And congress every 10 years keeps renewing their ability to do it without anyone even really hearing about it.
They were doing this with cable tv before any computers or iPads or I phones …. So you can imagine what they do now 😮
Edward Snowden is an American Patriot , a Hero
Our GPS is our Main SPY...😮
