Today a well respected member of my community compiled the following efforts by the intelligence community to spy on Americans in their homes. This is not a conspiracy rant. This is one of the greatest threats we have faced since becoming a Republic. It is an issue that not only needs to be taken up by FCTP, but by every Tea Party nationwide. Please spread the word as far and wide as possible. We must stop this Smart Grid madness.

Global information surveillance grid being constructed; willing Americans
embrace gadgets used to spy on them

CIA director David Petraeus has said that the rise of new "smart" gadgets
means that Americans are effectively bugging their own homes, saving US spy
agencies a job when it identifies any "persons of interest".

Speaking at a summit for In-Q-Tel, the CIA's technology investment
operation, Petraeus made the comments when discussing new technologies which
aim to add processors and web connections to previously 'dumb' home
appliances such as fridges, ovens and lighting systems.

Wired reports the details via its

"'Transformational' is an overused word, but I do believe it properly
applies to these technologies," Petraeus enthused, "particularly to their
effect on clandestine tradecraft."

"Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely
controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification,
sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters - all
connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and
high-power computing," Petraeus said.

"the latter now going to cloud computing, in many areas greater and greater
supercomputing, and, ultimately, heading to quantum computing." the CIA head
added.

Petraeus also stated that such devices within the home "change our notions
of secrecy".

Petraeus' comments come in the same week that one of the biggest microchip
companies in the world, ARM, unveiled new processors that are designed to
a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17345934">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17345934> give practically every
household appliance an internet connection, in order that they can be remote
controlled and operate in tandem with applications.

ARM describes the concept as an "internet of things".

Where will all the information from such devices be sent and analyzed? It
can be no coincidence that the NSA is currently

d> building a monolithic heavily fortified $2 billion facility deep in the
Utah desert and surrounded by mountains. The facility is set to go fully
live in September 2013.

"The Utah data center is the centerpiece of the Global Information Grid, a
military project that will handle yottabytes of data, an amount so huge that
there is no other data unit after it." reports Gizmodo.

"This center-with every listening post, spy satellite and NSA datacenter
connected to it, will make the NSA the most powerful spy agency in the
world."

Wired reports
a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/all/1">http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/all/1> that the
incoming data is being mined by plugging into telecommunications companies'
switches, essentially the same method the NSA infamously uses for
a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA_warrantless_surveillance_controversy">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA_warrantless_surveillance_controversy>
warrantless wiretapping of domestic communications, as exposed six years
ago.

Former intelligence analyst turned best selling author James Bamford, has
penned a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/">http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/> a
lengthy piece on the NSA facility and warns "It is, in some measure, the
realization of the 'total information awareness' program created during the
first term of the Bush administration-an effort that was killed by Congress
in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans'
privacy."
