YOU ARE MARKED and ALL of your LINKEDIN Business Contacts. There will be cars with Scanners and Surveillance Marking YOU the REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Good luck with that NEW JOB when you are marked as AGITATOR OR TERRORIST when yu do your Job Application!
We ARE NOT SAFE ...ANYWHERE!
Particularly if we are marked as being in a Protest in DC or Hometown (Iris Scan, Photo's from the BLACK SUV's, Surveillance of our Car on the way Back from the Protest, and Mail)
USPS is surveilling if we get MAIL or Magazines from what could be seen as "Left Publications"..or Friends we knew from College who are doing what Govt considers SUBVERSIVE...and our Tax Filings and Banking Online ...all Surveiled and our Department Store Accts...Need Underwear...Wife/Hubby/Partner goes Shopping...WELL what about that STORE DISCOUNT CARD they HAWK for you to SIGN UP.
Need to VISIT A DOCTOR...SIGN THE FORMS...Put in ALL YOUR INFO and COMPLY WITH HIPPA...and INTO THE DATA BASE IT GOES. What if your OPERATION IS SCHEDULED...and you are on a "NO FLY LIST" because a Relative the NSA FOUND in DATA BASE did some Organizing in a TERRORIST COUNTRY...but You haven't seen that Guy/Gal since you were FIVE YEARSL OLD...but they Connected him with YOU because he saw your Name on FACEBOOK and Pinged you to FRIEND YOU! Now YOU are connected to Him/Her.
It goes on and on and on how we are WATCHED and DATA BASED.
THIS should NOT CONTINUE in a FREE DEMOCRACY SOCIETY!
