Google Pressure Cookers and Backpacks, Get a Visit from the Cops

reply to post by Indigo5

I have to disagree with you on this.

Unfortunately we live in a world that thrives on high speed information exchange. This thread was posted around noon yesterday. By 4pm EST there where more details coming out with statements from the FBI & local sheriffs offices.

If what is viewed as the MSM had held off on covering the story until they had those statements people would have been accusing them of trying to suppress the story.

I also want to note that the woman that posted the story refused to talk to the media & from the beginning if anyone questioned what happened, she told them to "kiss my a*s". People have called her a journalist. I feel that if we want to hold the MSM to a facts standard, we should her too. She jumped to conclusions first, amazingly it was the media that sorted it out.

According to Chrome those are just SOME of the cookies that Abovetopsecret sets when I visit the site? Don't know what they all do, but only a efw seem to be directly associated with ATS? Bluekai's website says "data activation for intelligent marketing"? Just the first one I googled.

I think we can agree that yes...your every move is tracked.

Cool with your opinion...But STRONGLY disagree...If the media had gathered actual facts before they reported it "people"...at least rational ones...would have "accused" them of actually doing thier job.

I have employees...and I have fired many over my career. We always clean up the PC after they leave, most times the employee wipes thier PC before they leave and that's cool with me too. But on occassion we find crazy crap. There are wacko's out there. If I fire someone and find crazy crap on thier PC after they leave, it's my peroggative to report it to the cops. The PC, and IP addy are linked to MY business. I know a client who reported one of thier own employees when they discovered he had been visiting child porn sites. Now...Pressure cookers and back packs? Don't know the whole story...but if the firing was ugly...maybe the employee told the boss "you will be sorry" or something like that...and then the boss discovers Pressure Cooker and Backpack searches on the PC the same day they are fired? I don't know...I can see a scenario where the boss might be concerned for the safety of other workers and himself.

I understand that and Im fine with it. But I dont for a second believe monitoring is limited to the workplace. Thats what I was trying to say.

If you owned a business and discovered that one of your employees was Google searching for this sort of thing and you didn't feel any need to maybe say something to someone about it, that's your decision. And anyone killed by them later using such a device...their blood would be on your hands. If you don't want BB to look over your shoulder, start showing a little civic responsibility beyond venting on ATS. Just a thought.

I was told a story were this kid was doing a research project on the atomic bombs during WWII. He got too curious and started looking up how they worked, how they are made, etc etc.

He ended up with a SWAT team in his house. This was years ago

It's really worth the 4.99$ per month it costs for a VPN using the OpenVPN protocol these days, especially here on ATS and anywhere else where your information is visible to others and that information is archived. It's nobody's god damn business what your true IP address is, where you live and what your browsing habits are.

There's already smaller ISP's here in Canada offering secure VPN's as part of their internet monthly packages and a guarantee that no data is archived on those external VPN's located in Switzerland for no more than 8 hours.

VPN's are so easy to setup now, even on newer routers and not just personal computers. Everyone should really think about using one and begin to educate your friends and family about them, give them a hand setting them up.

ENCRYPT EVERYTHING.

You guys do realize that at this rate, we're about 5-10 years away from getting pulled out of our houses just for posting opinions on ATS.

Good ol' days are gone, and I ain't goin in no gov controlled reeducation camp©.

5-10 years? How about six months?

I'm fairly sure that the government is monitoring this site, and has a list of those who have negative opinions about their actions or the elite.

I don't see that particular scenario within the next six months - down the road perhaps yes. The human rights violation it would create would echo around the world. The US would loose all claim and credibility on the International stage.

in the past (in the UK)
I have look't up bombs and bomb making.

Pressure Cookers and Backpacks,
I got them from local shops.

I sold a nuclear bomb on Ebay once.
I only got 3 offers. and it sold for £7 !

they have never knock't on my door.
I bet they monitor my PC.
but I use all kinds of computer stuff to keep them out.

any of then with any sense can see from my PC that I am not a terrorist.
just loopy!

To all those thinking of searching for "pressure cookers" and "backpacks" together, and trying to trigger the government's oversight apparatus, you may find the following story interesting - it's in the same vein as this kind of thing. Back in 2004, I saw the following list of trigger words on ATS (link):

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Around a month ago, I copied those "trigger words" onto an email, and included the letter shown here (link):

www.happyplace.com...

and added the words "James Clapper is an A**hole", and "Remember, the plan will commence on" (and I added a bunch of random stuff, such as "123233324$@Q!$#$$#@!$$!#@!").

I then sent the email to a few friends.

A few days later, I received a letter from, of all places, the State Department, asking me to go online and answer a survey about my travel plans - the letter indicated that I would be contacted again should I fail to complete such survey. Sure enough, a week later I received a second letter, again urging me to complete the survey.

The survey asked whether I had a passport, had recently traveled, whether I have future travel plans, whether anyone else in my household has a passport, etc.

I answered the questions (you're given a code in the letter which you enter at the U.S. State Dept. website), honestly. However, I couldn't help imagining other, more "creative" answers, such as:

Q. Do you have a current passport?
A. Several !!

Q. Where have you recently traveled?
A. Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Ecuador, Venezuela, Somalia. Oh - and Cuba.

Q. What was the purpose of these visits?
A. "Recruitment and Training" (Allahu Akbar!).

and so on...

Now, I may have simply received this survey as a matter of course, and it could have nothing to do with the email - I could simply be paranoid. Of course, I may also have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

What do you think, ATS'ers ??

P.S. - looks like I'm most likely now on the "No Fly List" !!

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

I have suspected for a very long time I am on the "No fly list". Which is ok really... I hate to fly!
I have come to the conclusion that I am probably on a allot of "lists"....I am sure they must need a "master list" to keep track of all the other "lists" I am on.

...so be it

Hey, I'm in the same think mode here. I fully Comprehend where you are at on this. 'They' are very far ahead of most of us in that sense. 'They' are Completely Aware of US! Have been for a Very Long Time. Good Point, and Thanx, Syx.

The US Government is the rogue apparatus of the elite. They can and will do whatever they want to whoever they want.

The folly a lot of us have made is believing that the rule of law actual exists.

I will check back with you in six months - If I don't, either I forgot ....or.....

Call me crazy but I read this yesterday and I searched both at the same time using google.. Nothing happened yet but I will report back if anything happens..

We're discussing this thread on ATS Live Show #172 - 3rd August 2013

'Runs around screaming' oh, I've got to go get my hair done!

MOTF!

We should all pick a time (say 6pm edt) to google "pressure cookers, fireworks and backpacks" just for the fun of it...give the weekend NSA crew a start.
