The Never-Ending Federal Surveillance Crime Spree
This fact-filled discussion is prompted from recent articles by authors Kelleigh Nelson, John Whitehead, and James Bovard on the total erosion of privacy by governmental and corporate surveillance in the United States. It should shock everyone out of their complacency.
But I doubt it.
"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." — Winston Churchill
My life and the lives of many around me were destroyed by the misuse of government surveillance, illegal wiretaps, and pure conjecture. Once the government suspects you, they will spare no expense to convict you even when they know you are innocent.
Their expense account has to be justified and, with the judge’s help, the criminal conduct of federal agents will be swept under the rug . Yes, as I explained in a previous post and several books, every judge is a criminal because they uphold laws that clearly violate your rights.
And speaking of rights, the Bill of Rights isn’t going to protect you. Federal criminals grossly violated the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Amendment—plus committed more than 50 felonies to frame me. See “They Left No Crime Uncommitted.”
Voice Cloning and Deepfake Doom
Got a phone? Great. Now imagine scammers use it to clone your voice—easy as pie these days—and suddenly “you” are confessing to a triple homicide, threatening a senator, or donating to the “wrong” political cause. Think you’ll get the benefit of the doubt?
You won’t.
The system loves technology when it can be used to manufacture guilt. And while your friends are tweeting #JusticeFor [Your Name], federal agents will be sifting through your digital footprint for anything vaguely “concerning,” like that time you Googled “pressure cooker” and “airport” in the same week.
Since everyone is a suspect in a police state (and the average person commits three felonies a day without even knowing it), they can take you down whenever they feel like it. As my first worthless lawyer warned me, “It’s 1984; They are the government and they can do anything they want to.”
That was the only time he didn’t lie.
Final Thoughts Before the Drones Arrive
This isn’t about “if” they come for you—it’s about when. In a society where everyone is guilty, privacy is dead, and truth is irrelevant, survival depends on staying boring. But even that won’t save you. The algorithms don’t sleep. The data never forgets. And Palantir, like Sauron, sees all.
So yeah—this should shock you out of your complacency. But it probably won’t.
Just remember: when it’s your door they’re knocking on, it won’t matter how innocent you are. It’ll only matter that you were visible.
And thanks to them—you always are.
Welcome to the future, where your rights are optional, your privacy is a luxury you can’t afford, and your freedom is a joke the government tells while sipping your tax dollars.
This should knock you off your couch:
“The Army directly commissioned four big tech executives from Palantir, Meta and OpenAI. They were sworn in to be lieutenant colonels, with no military background as the Pentagon, particularly the Army, cozies up to Silicon Valley. The four include Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer for Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, chief technology officer of Meta; Kevin Weil, chief product officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, adviser at Thinking Machines Lab and former chief research officer for OpenAI.” quoting Kelleigh Nelson’s recent article in News With Views.
Podcast Briefing: The Expanding Surveillance State and its Implications
The ominous and accelerating expansion of government and corporate surveillance in the United States, is in direct contravention of pretended “protections” like the defunct Fourth Amendment. This is driven by technological advancements, the repurposing of intelligence tools for domestic use, and a perceived erosion of public and governmental commitment to privacy.
A key player in this landscape is Palantir Technologies, a data-mining firm deeply integrated into various federal agencies, raising alarms about centralized data control and the potential for profiling and "pre-crime" activities. Critics argue that the "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" mentality is a dangerous fallacy, leading to a future where individual liberty and even humanity itself are at existential risk.
Key Themes
1. Erosion of Privacy and Fourth Amendment Rights
The central theme across all three sources is the severe and ongoing degradation of personal privacy, largely due to expanding surveillance capabilities.
Fourth Amendment Violations: Author Kelleigh Nelson explicitly states, "The Fourth Amendment of our unalienable Bill of Rights states, ‘The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause...’" However, all sources demonstrate how this protection is being circumvented.
"Nothing to Hide" Fallacy: Edward Snowden is quoted in Nelson's article: "Arguing that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say." Senator Rand Paul similarly warns, "Now, people are talking about a standard that is ‘if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.’ Think about it. Is that the standard we’re willing to live under?"
"Privacy is dying": Nelson bluntly declares, "Privacy is dying." This is echoed by Whitehead's assertion that "mass surveillance is the Deep State’s version of a 'gift' that keeps on giving…back to the Deep State."
2. Pervasive and Diverse Surveillance Methods
The scale and variety of surveillance methods employed by both government and corporate entities are extensive, creating a near-constant state of monitoring for citizens.
Ubiquitous Cameras: Nelson notes, "Cameras are everywhere watching the people," citing red light cameras, license readers, and cameras in stores and self-checkout lanes.
NSA Data Collection: Bovard highlights the NSA's collection of "phone metadata on millions of Americans" and its authorization "to vacuum up trillions of emails and other data" under FISA Section 702.
Digital Footprint Tracking: Whitehead details numerous methods:
Phone and Movement Tracking: "Cell phones have become de facto snitches, offering up a steady stream of digital location data." Geofencing was used to identify 5,000+ devices at the Capitol on January 6th.
DNA Databases: "If you have the misfortune to leave your DNA traces anywhere a crime has been committed, you’ve already got a file somewhere."
Facial Recognition: Aims "to create a society in which every individual who steps out into public is tracked and recorded as they go about their daily business."
Behavioral Surveillance: Predicting behavior through data analysis, even "mass riots and unauthorized public events by using artificial intelligence."
Consumer Data: "Every smartphone we buy... every frequent buyer card we use... and every credit and debit card we use... we’re helping Corporate America build a dossier."
Social Media Monitoring: "Every move you make, especially on social media, is monitored, mined for data, crunched, and tabulated in order to form a picture of who you are."
Social Network Mapping: Tracking "the people you might connect with by phone, text message, email or through social message, in order to ferret out possible criminals." This creates a "guilt by association" society.
License Plate Readers: Photograph "over 1,800 license tag numbers per minute," storing and sharing data for tracking vehicle movements.
Mail Surveillance: The U.S. Postal Service photographs "the exterior of every piece of paper mail" and uses "Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP)" to spy on "Americans’ texts, emails and social media posts."
3. FISA Section 702 and FBI Abuses
FISA Section 702 is highlighted as a primary mechanism for widespread warrantless surveillance of Americans, despite its original intent.
"Incidental" Collection of American Data: Bovard explains that Section 702 authorizes surveillance of foreign targets "regardless of how many Americans’ privacy is 'incidentally' destroyed."
FBI Abuse of NSA Data: The FBI is permitted "to sift through its troves" of NSA-collected data. The Electronic Frontier Foundation warned it "created a broad national-security exception to the Constitution that allows all Americans to be spied upon by their government while denying them any viable means of challenging that spying."
Widespread Warrantless Searches: The FBI conducted warrantless searches for "domestic terrorism," "public corruption and bribery," "health care fraud," and even people who reported crimes or volunteered for FBI programs.
Targeting Political Activities: The FBI "exploited FISA to target 19,000 donors to the campaign of a candidate who challenged an incumbent member of Congress." Furthermore, 23,132 Americans were unjustifiably searched for "possible foreign influence" related to January 6th.
Lack of Accountability: FISA judges have "whined about FBI agents lying to the court" for 20 years, yet "the FISA court entitles them to continue decimating the Fourth Amendment." Bovard sarcastically suggests, "Only task left is to cease pretending Americans have any constitutional right to privacy."
4. Palantir Technologies: The Digital Monster
Palantir is presented as a central and alarming force in the burgeoning surveillance state, enabling unprecedented levels of data integration and predictive analysis.
"Notorious data-mining firm": Nelson describes Palantir as a "notorious data-mining firm" tapped by the Trump administration to compile a "master database" cross-referencing sensitive data.
Tolkien-inspired Name, Ominous Function: Named after "the all-seeing stones of Tolkien’s legendarium," Palantir "claims to help governments and corporations make sense of data. They offer an extra… total control."
CIA Seed Funding: Founded in 2004 with a $2 million investment from the CIA's venture arm, In-Q-Tel (IQT).
Deep Government Integration: Palantir's "Gotham" platform consumes "huge amounts of private data on millions of American citizens" for entities like the US Army, Space Force, and FDA. Its Foundry platform is "an operating system for organizations, integrating data, analytics, and operations."
Predictive Policing and Profiling (Minority Report Analogy): Foundry "predicts what you might do. It actually assigns risks and flags 'troublemakers.' Psychological dossiers are being assembled. Deportations are being prepped by algorithm." Nelson explicitly draws a parallel to the movie Minority Report: "It is no longer science fiction like the 2002 movie. It is real and it’s here."
Comparison to China's Social Credit System: "Palantir’s Foundry makes China’s Social Credit System look like child’s play."
A "Weaponized" Master Database: Executive Order #14243, signed by President Trump, mandates all federal agencies to share personal data into "one vast, unified pool, one that Palantir can tap, sort, and weaponize." This includes Social Security, IRS, CDC health data, and defense intelligence.
Threat to Liberty: This system can "track or persecute Americans who do not fit the government’s mold" by tracking "political views, protest activity, and personal behaviors using AI to flag potential threats."
Palantir's Intent: Co-founder Alex Karp stated, "Palantir is here to disrupt and make our – the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and, when it’s necessary, to scare our enemies and, on occasion, kill them."
Internal Whistleblower Concerns: Former Palantir employee Juan Sebastian Pinto expressed fear for his safety and concern that his "grandchildren have to be processed through a database where their everyday activities... are tracked, collected and used for an authoritarian government’s policing database."
5. Shift Towards "Digital Concentration Camp" and Total Control
The ultimate fear expressed by the authors is a future of complete government control facilitated by technology, surpassing even dystopian fiction.
"Digital Concentration Camp": Nelson warns, "We are entering the realm of what some have called, 'a digital concentration camp,' far deadlier than... United Nations Agenda 21/30... more lethal than the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum. It is complete control."
Loss of Humanity: Franklin Foer (quoted by Nelson) expresses concern that "when we’re stripped of our privacy, when we’re stripped of free will, when we start to merge with machines in a more robust way, at some point, we’ll cease to be identifiably human."
Irrelevance and Disposable Humanity: Nelson concludes, "humanity may not have a future, we would be irrelevant and disposable."
"Black Box" Governance: The lack of "mandatory civilian audits or transparency requirements for agencies relying on Palantir" creates "governance by black box."
6. Congressional Impotence and Deep State Influence
Congress is criticized for its failure to rein in surveillance abuses, suggesting a capture by "Deep State" interests.
Failed Reform Efforts: Bovard details how attempts to curtail FISA Section 702 have "failed dismally," with Congress opting for extensions rather than substantive reforms.
"Wholly-owned subsidiary of the Deep State": Bovard argues that the House Intelligence Committee "acts like a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Deep State" and "have largely chosen to ignore the crimes committed by the spies they champion and bankroll."
Expanding Scope of FISA: A proposed FISA "reform" bill would expand its reach to "business landlords, shared workspaces, or even hotels where guests connect to the Internet," potentially forcing them to "serve as surrogate spies."
"Trust Me, Chumps!": Bovard suggests FISA should be renamed the "'Trust Me, Chumps!' Surveillance Act."
