Colored Squares on Plastic Tubes Not Substitute for Due Diligence.

First off I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts I've made in the recent weeks, and months. I will make an effort to increase the frequency of which I do so.

I hope everyone is have a good holiday season, and is gearing up for a very Merry Christmas.

The article below is an article I came across on my Facebook feed, and have seen this story floating around the interwebs. I decided to read it, and then make a response, and figured that both should be posted to the blog.

Google Reads Your E-Mail Before You Send It (But Everyone Already Knew)

One of the biggest big brother issues that has recently been revealed has been that of the PRISM program. A N.S.A. program that installs hubs into the servers of various companies, and collects EVERYTHING, on EVERYONE without a warrant.

Leaked  Official PRISM Slide - with PRISM targets.

Unfortunately this has been known for quite some time by the people "in the know" sort to speak, however, it has been obvious, but ignored by those who had this information put literally in front of their faces.

Proof that Google actively reads e-mail as you type, at the least reads them before sending them for the apologists.
Image from screenshot of GMail composition 6/12/13 - As if 6/28/13 image still appears.

The above image is taken from a screenshot of a GMail user attempting to send an e-mail. In the body of the e-mail it said "I have attached", however, there was no files attached to the e-mail. The writer had chosen to embed the said file, and used the phrase attached, instead of uploading it as an attachment. Due to this Google decided to nicely warn the user they may have forgotten to attach a file - it also alerts the user that the contents of all E-mail is read not only when sent, but before it is sent.

Michelle McPhee - Will You Publically Answer the Ethical Questions and Concerns in My Article

 *This article is a direct result of a Facebook post by Michele McPhee. Through this I would like to openly challenge Ms. McPhee to respond to my comments, and or debate me on her radio show.

Massachusetts has long been a Democratic state that loves leaning to the left of center. Being so it has become a state that spawned Romneycare, the original blueprint for the colloquial Obamacare.

Massachusetts is also the residence of not only myself, David Harkins, but as well as a Ms. Michelle McPhee. For those who haven't heard of Ms. McPhee here is her own biography from her Facebook page:

Best-selling author of five true crime books; Emmy-nominated investigative reporter; award-winning columnist and crime reporter.

Ms. McPhee has done work for the Boston Herald, WRKO, and WCVB-TV 5, all of which are major Boston media platforms.

By all accounts Ms. McPhee has earned herself a distinguished career, one that should teach someone a great deal about journalistic ethics. It appears to me that Ms. McPhee is either lacking in those ethical departments, or knowingly violating her journalistic ethics to further some irrelevant agenda.


Below I will illustrate how Ms. McPhee does not deserve the recognitions she has recieved because she has disgraced journalistic ethics, and morality. Post editing published work without telling people is obviously unethical.

The Facebook Mining Operation at Full Steam

The popular online social networking website Facebook.com is mining it's users data more, and more with each passing day. This should come as a surprise since Facebook was admittedly funded by D.A.R.P.A, or the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency, and the C.E.O. of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg refers to his customer base, Facebook users, as dumb fucks.

Unfortunately Zuckerberg may very well be correct. Far too many people share far too much information on social media sites, and only a few skillful clicks away from being part of the public domain.

Several posts have been made about Facebook, Twitter, and other Prison Internet platforms on Xieon Politics such as one regarding the websites prompt for the name of the computer you are currently using, after entering your log in credentials. Unfortunately that article didn't do this system justice, so it will be revisited below.

Where are you, how long were you there, and what did you do during that 

Not a nagging wife, or girlfriend, rather Facebook is the entity asking, which is more accurately described as stealing, or spying information. Not a distant leap from a website that has been tracking users even after they have logged out of the Facebook service.

When logging into Facebook, allegedly from a new device, users are shown the below prompt.

This prompt is not as bad as other "prison internet" functions, and features as it features a button equal in size for saving, or not.. If this information is saved, then not only the name of the computer you're using, but the I.P. address, I.S.P., how long you're on the site, and even what specific activities you were engaged in.

Near the left corner of the prompt there is a link for problems if you continuously see this page upon logging in. Clicking this link brings up the following assistance screen. 

This screen implies the user is browsing using "private browsing", and they should turn it off before attempting to give Facebook.com their personal information. Private browsing was not on when these screen shots were taken, not has it even been on, and the device naming screen has consistently shown up.

Facebook has recently rolled out several new features that are part of a ramp up for automatic location tagging. One of these features is the use of the Facebook facial recognition program. When users are locked out of their account, they are shown pictures, and forced to identify them correctly. This is simply getting unknowing users to participate in their training, and improvement of features such as their auto-tagging algorithms,(and are currently being sued) which act exactly as they sound.

Facebook can now analyze pictures uploaded to their website, and run them through an algorithm, then match it to a specific user registered on their website, and "conveniently" auto-tag that photograph for that person. With easily over half a billion users Facebook has amassed quite the database of facial profiles.

The last feature is the ability to tag locations in photographs, and videos, in conjunction with being able to check in your location for others to see, when you are at a certain position. These two combined are the final pieces in an entity, Facebook, attempting to take on the powers of god. Websites such as YouTube can already match copy written material, and ban it before it finishes uploading.

Facebook could just as easily auto-tag locations of pictures, if it had something to compare it to. The world is a large place, and mega-corporations want to hire as many free workers as possible, so with an average of 250 Million pictures being uploaded daily, Facebook simply has to sit back, and allow the dumb f**k users to tag away.

Soon they aim to know the name of your computer, what type of internet provider your have, where you live, what you do while online, and recognize you, tag you, and post your location.

The Fox News Facebook News Stories Decision Rant.

I'm subscribed to Fox News, or some, maybe several, different entities related to the Fox News Network on Facebook.

As a result I frequently see stories posted by Fox News to their Facebook page. I'm going to assume that it doesn't simply publish every story, and that there is someone deciding what material will appear on their Facebook page.

The story they decided to post was the result of the Michael Jackson death trial, which resulted in a guilty verdict for manslaughter for his Dr. That's a great story, a Dr. got convicted of a crime. It should be reported in a small section with results of cases, since we shouldn't live in a society where some deaths are deemed more important than others, thus causing others in the society to feel this way, due to the media attention, and large crowds that gather for "high profile" deaths.

However, there are so many more issues that should be posted to the front page of their Facebook page, which instantly causes very large conversations. The Facebook page currently has stats of

2,285,884 people like this & 46,758 people are talking about it.

This inspired an "off the dome" rant*, which I will copy below in it's entirety. The link to see the page, and the rant are below

Could The Govt. Use Facebook to Track Ron Paul Supporters?

The questions of if the government could, or more likely is, using Facebook to track Ron Paul supporters. On the surface this doesn't seem a difficult task, as a government operative simply needs to join a Facebook.com group, and be provided with a list of names.

The tracking here not only allows those who wish to do so lists of Ron Paul supporters, but be able to track the other trends of those people, in turn being able to track the flow, and identify key common topics among this group in order to provide more effective counter measures, or engage in disinformation.

Facebook was recently found to be tracking their users even after they logged out of their account. With a smaller list of people they can pinpoint their efforts to infiltrate the various movements, and attempt to co-op leading ideas before they become too mainstream and associated with Dr. Paul.

The below image is a screen shot taken of the Facebook.com group "Black This Out" which is a pro Ron Paul group.

The image also contains a question prompt box to enter your e-mail address, and password, so Facebook can go through all your e-mail and find all of your friends.

Facebook is being sued for selling personal information, selling Ron Paul information to the government wouldn't be a stretch.
