RE: Cyber Series - Mass Surveillance Primer
I was actively involved in Cold War Electronic Warfare / low level Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and was also involved in Kosovo... Your analysis is a bit of a way off the mark i am afraid... We were far more advanced than you thought, our capabilities and indeed our enemies of interest used some pretty advanced tech. However, in essence your developmental timeline is correct..
EW & SIGINT are touchy subjects, so i will leave it there.
These days we have however, as Edward Snowden stated, got the ability to 'capture' everything and when needed, delve into the depths for a complete analysis. This can and will be used against anyone who crosses the line of the law, then a patch of association can be back-tracked. Essentially linking and building a web of evidence, right the way up to your 'crime'.
Yes there have also been many 'experiments' on the public too, seeing how they will react etc.... Its a worrying trend and one which we are all embroiled in.
If people are un-aware of this in todays era, then they are sleepwalking.
Good Post dude!
Do you know about the Russians radar 'experiment' on that town by any chance? Also checkout my mind control post. I will be posting more on that later.
DEW's are another major area just look at there use in crowd control. The one thing that worries me the most is homemade DEW's which terrorists may use.
Which Town are you reffering to?
Direct Energy Weapons (DEW's) yes very real and have been used, they come in many forms, but not really up to speed on this capability becuause it is technologically fast moving and doesnt often get rolled out. Heard and read many things involving mind control, and the only one that i find interesting is the potential capability of 'piggy-backing' onto cellphone tower transmissions for area-wide mind inception.. Not too concertned about Terrorists, they have their own info control and distribution networks...
