Government, Industry To Use Computer Microphones To Spy On 150 Million Americans
Invasive surveillance and advertising obliterates even Minority Report style technology

Private industry and eventually government is planning to use microphones in the computers of an estimated 150 million-plus Internet active Americans to spy on their lifestyle choices and build psychological profiles which will be used for surveillance and minority report style invasive advertising and data mining.

Digital cable TV boxes, such as Scientific Atlantic, have had secret in-built microphones inside them since their inception in the late 1990's and these originally dormant devices were planned to be activated when the invasive advertising revolution arrived - 2006 marks that date.

The advent of digital video recording devices such as TiVo (Sky Plus in the UK) introduced the creation of psychological algorithm profiles - databases on what programs you watched, how long you watched them for, which adverts you liked or didn't like. This information was retained by TiVo and sold to the highest bidders - an example being Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during the 2003 Super Bowl half-time show - TiVo were able to compile lists of how many people had rewound the clip and how many times they had replayed it.

Two way communications systems like OnStar also have the ability to tap into private conversations as Americans become increasingly conditioned, by means of the private sector, to having their every movement, web session and conversation tracked and catalogued by big brother.

Each time a new flash application requests permission to run on newer computers, you will notice that a privacy setting box pops up asking if the particular website you are surfing can access your microphone and webcam. Though the webcam is external, the microphone is internal and is a standard feature of all new models.

Looks like an assumption to me. There's a reason I don't like Alex Jones, and that's because he makes assumptions and then runs with them.

Microphones in webcams and digital cable TV boxes?
How many of us watch TV at work?


(I know you don’t.. I do, its good to consider these things, I would much rather be prepared: some surprises are not nice or good.)

Well then hell, prepare for everything.

There's no logical basis to prepare for this. It's like preparing for a car to come crashing through a particular window in your house.

Anything is possible. Besides Big Brother desires their face up our behinds. That is not logical butt then again they are not logical.

Unless you think like a conspirator. They want to know more about us individually for some reason. If it’s a two way microphone: It could be used to transmit a low frequency signal into our homes. Do you know about ElfTowers?- Low frequency signals that have an effect on humans and wild life.

It could be a signal sent or simply taking notes on us: For or opposed...this is so N.W.O.

ROFLMAO! This is back! LOLOL

It is a lie - straight and simple. The cable box wire (BNC) does not have the abillity to do two-way communication. Therefore, it can only send the signal to the TV, not record and send a signal FROM the house.

In fact, you have heard of Neilsen Ratings? They rate what programs are being watched by how many households. They do so by getting permssion of a certain number of homeowners fitting the population demographic and installing thier own box that records the incoming cable channel being watched, so they can accurately know what people want to see and don't. This box communicates with them through a seperate outgoing BNC wire (cable wire) that they install with the homowner's permission. If the cable box had the abillity to record and send an outgoing signal, this extra box would not be needed.

If you don't believe me that this very old conspiracy theory (it dates back to the 1970's) is hogwash, call Scientific Atlantic, Motorolla, TiVo, or any other companies that make these products, and ask them yourself.

I can not tell you how many of these articles have made the internet in recent years. None of them make it any more true.

But David, Alex Jones said it!

OMG Alex Jones knows everything!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh that guy is really starting to piss me off, he is so Moore-ing it.

Don’t get upset with Alex. We never thought citizen phones would be invaded by gov.
If this is dormant and soon to be active we’ll find out. If not true... its a good thing.

This guy is all about scaring America...

OOOH wiretaps in your TV!! Secret cameras in your microwaves!!! Tracking devices in your sneakers!!!!
