Is The Government Tracking Your (Cell Phone's) Movements?

Our thanks are due to the ACLU and the EFF for their tireless efforts to safeguard our privacy in the age of electronic information. As technology changes, the government finds new ways to circumvent the Fourth Amendment. These organizations do their best to stay on top of the government's intrusion into our electronic lives.

The ACLU made a Freedom of Information Act request (pdf) to the Justice Department seeking information about the government's warrantless tracking of cell phone locations.

The ACLU filed the FOIA request in November following media reports that federal officials were using Americans' cellular phones to pinpoint their locations without a warrant or any court oversight, the groups said. Some government officials at the time said they did not need probable cause to obtain tracking information from mobile phones. In addition, the reports said some federal law enforcement agents had obtained tracking data from wireless carriers without any court oversight.

The Justice Department declined the request. The ACLU and the EFF responded by filing suit (pdf) to compel the disclosure.

Police State USA - Big Brother's Most Cool Tool Continued ...

As millions of Americans now know-the official 9/11 fable violates the laws of natural science.

· A jet liner can't disappear into a hole less than half its size without leaving wreckage (Pentagon).

· Hijackers can't be killed in plane crashes and later be found alive and living lawfully in various locations throughout the world.

· Smoldering fires too cool to bend, let alone melt steel girders can't collapse two skyscrapers simultaneously at the speed of gravity (Twin Towers).

Brigham Young University physics professor Steven Jones has demonstrated mathematically that pre-positioned explosives, detonated in precise sequence, were necessary to bring the Trade Center buildings down.(49) Former German Minister Andreas von Buelow has explained to the entire world why the complex 9/11 attack was impossible without U.S. government and corporate backing.(50) Russian General Leonid Ivashov said recently that the 9/11 attack was faked by government and corporate officials who have invented the war on terror as a tool for global political and economic manipulation.(51)

Hundreds of 9/11 families know this and in May 2002, they filed suit against the feds for the sacrificial death of their loved ones.(52) Their attorney, Stanley Hilton, has stated that he went to school years ago with Paul Wolfowitz and other Bush advisors who even then were planning a fake Pearl Harbor-like attack to grease the skids for a presidential dictatorship.(53) Because these sociopaths got away with 9/11, the door remains wide open for them to unleash future fake attacks to leap frog their fascist plans forward.

The most corrupt Congress in history has collaborated with 9/11 perpetrators in a shameful cover-up of this horrible genocide project. Perhaps they tolerate treason because they are afraid to end up like the late Senator Paul Wellstone, who died in a suspicious plane crash after leading opposition to the Bush gang's war in Iraq.(54) Or they are afraid of getting an anthrax message as did the staffs of Tom Daschle and Pat Leahy after those two senators sassed the president back in 2001.(55) According to research of Dr. Len Horowitz and others, the anthrax strain mailed to enemies of the state originated in a CIA research program. It is apparent that even the anthrax scare was an inside job.(56) If America gets the flu, will it be from "the birds"-or from "the boys?"
