If You Don't Know What “TrapWire” Is - > YOU SHOULD

Wikileaks reveals “TrapWire,” a government spy network that uses ordinary surveillance cameras

It's just like an episode of Person of Interest. According to documents leaked on Wikileaks, the government has created a piece of technology, called TrapWire, that siphons data from surveillance cameras in stores, casinos, and other businesses around the country. Apparently agents can use facial recognition software to analyze this footage for, well, people of interest. Are we living in a total surveillance state without even realizing it?

Over at Business Insider, David Seaman reports on the contents of the documents at Wikileaks:

Every few seconds, data picked up at surveillance points in major cities and landmarks across the United States are recorded digitally on the spot, then encrypted and instantaneously delivered to a fortified central database center at an undisclosed location to be aggregated with other intelligence. It's part of a program called TrapWire and it's the brainchild of the Abraxas, a Northern Virginia company staffed with elite from America's intelligence community.

The employee roster at Arbaxas reads like a who's who of agents once with the Pentagon, CIA and other government entities according to their public LinkedIn profiles, and the corporation's ties are assumed to go deeper than even documented. The details on Abraxas and, to an even greater extent TrapWire, are scarce, however, and not without reason. For a program touted as a tool to thwart terrorism and monitor activity meant to be under wraps, its understandable that Abraxas would want the program's public presence to be relatively limited. But thanks to last year's hack of the Strategic Forecasting intelligence agency, or Stratfor, all of that is quickly changing."

Wikileaks reveals "TrapWire," a government spy network that uses ordinary surveillance cameras So: those spooky new "circular" dark globe cameras installed in your neighborhood park, town, or city-they aren't just passively monitoring. They're plugged into Trapwire and they are potentially monitoring every single person via facial recognition.

Currently it's pretty hard to reach Wikileaks to read the papers yourself, because the site has been crushed under an onslaught of DDOS attacks — which, how convenient is that, conspiracy theorists? But you can still see a description of Abraxas' Tripwire technology here, at the USPTO.

TrapWire's Alleged Corporate and Government Connections Grow

As we reported earlier this week, TrapWire is a massive and technologically advanced surveillance system that has the capacity to keep nearly the entire population of this country under the watchful eye of government 24 hours a day. Using this network of cameras and other surveillance tools, the federal government is rapidly constructing an impenetrable, inescapable theater of surveillance, most of which is going unnoticed by Americans and unreported by the mainstream media.

Unlike other elements of the central government’s cybersurveillance program, word about TrapWire was not leaked by Obama administration insiders. The details of this nearly unbelievable surveillance scheme were made public by WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group founded by Julian Assange.

The TrapWire story percolated from the millions of e-mails from the Austin, Texas-base..., published this year by WikiLeaks. Covering correspondence from mid-2004 to 2011, these documents expose Stratfor’s “web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques and psychological methods.”

This coterie of Stratfor co-conspirators are apparently angry about the leaks, considering that the WikiLeaks servers have been under near-constant Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks since the TrapWire revelations began attracting notice of alternative journalists. Some outlets report that the cyberattacks are being carried out by agents of the American intelligence community determined to prevent the full depth of this scandal from being explored by reporters.

My answer is simple and informative. Since you do this on my posts, James, then you should have no objections.

Very well stated, Freedom.

@Hollywood and all of you... Mr. Beale was schooled in 1976, so now should you be as well.

I think I'm ready for the big event (NWO, Police State, etc...), So how will we all know when and where to meet to try to abolish all this SH*T and get our country back?

The men, women, bureaucrats, servicemen, et all that are involved in this are all traitors as far as I'm concerned.
