The Pentagon's Plan for Tracking Everything That Moves

The Pentagon's Plan for Tracking Everything That Moves


The cameras are already in place. The computer code is being developed at a dozen or more major companies and universities. And the trial runs have already been planned.

Everything is set for a new Pentagon program to become perhaps the federal government's widest reaching, most invasive mechanism yet for keeping us all under watch. Not in the far-off, dystopian future. But here, and soon.

The military is scheduled to issue contracts for Combat Zones That See, or CTS, as early as September. The first demonstration should take place before next summer, according to a spokesperson. Approach a checkpoint at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, during the test and CTS will spot you. Turn the wheel on this sprawling, 8,656-acre army encampment, and CTS will record your action. Your face and license plate will likely be matched to those on terrorist watch lists. Make a move considered suspicious, and CTS will instantly report you to the authorities.

Fort Belvoir is only the beginning for CTS. Its architects at the Pentagon say it will help protect our troops in cities like Baghdad, where for the past few weeks fleeting attackers have been picking off American fighters in ones and twos. But defense experts believe the surveillance effort has a second, more sinister, purpose: to keep entire cities under an omnipresent, unblinking eye.

This isn't some science fiction nightmare. Far from it. CTS depends on parts you could get, in a pinch, at Kmart.

"There's almost a 100 percent chance that it will work," said Jim Lewis, who heads the Technology and Public Policy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, "because it's just connecting things that already exist."

So there is still hope...

Or "they" bought both actors for this film, the system is gonna be approved, and we can�t do anything about it, they do put some "tension" putting a part of the senate against the surveillance, but in the end cabal will implant it ASAP.
And after US, i think UK, Aus, Europe Asia, Africa, we will all get this system, to control us, and keep an eye on us...

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!

The IAO arm of DARPA allready has the funding and is actively hiring personal to implement it. And they don't really give a hoot what the Congress, White House, Supreme Court, or you and I think about it. What are you or I gonna do protest in the streets, this ain't the 60's anymore, that tool ain't gonna work no more.
I am open to suggestions and idea's but knowing what I know this would be to open a forum to articulate any truly radical ideas.
In this day and age of technology it would require massive amounts of money, knowledge, and power to have any type of influence on the Evolution of the Big Brother that is here and now
Cold Anger is just what it is!

Well i agree with the radicalism idea, we have no choice, they go on with the agenda, and with the big brother, and we just watch how they do it.
There must be a way to do something against it, otherwise we will be to controlled to move a finger...

I dont think Congress or anyone else has the power to really change things. This like many others projects will happen, there is no way around it. I think they are there as puppets and they dont even know it. This way the people think they have a say in what goes on and that they live in a free land. Be nice if everyone opened their eyes once in a while.
