The news that cell phones are being used as tracking devices and are being exploited by data extraction devices (DED) that can quickly extract mobile data (such as contacts, photos, and deleted text messages) for Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and other major carriers, has stunned many in the world this past week leading to calls for investigation by politicians in the United States and Germany.

The strangest aspect of this current outrage being heaped upon Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android smart phone devices [all cell/smart phones have this technology in them] is that this “news” has long been known to anyone who cared to know. This past year, in fact, we offered to our readers our “Cloak of Athena” protection device specifically designed to keep cell/smart phones from being tracked or made vulnerable to DED’s. 

What’s even more astounding in this current flap over cell phone privacy is that the user agreements signed by customers (that’s you) specifically allow these giant corporations to track your every move, listen in to any live conversation you may be having, store any amount of your private information they want for as long as they choose, and (this is where it gets really scary) give and/or sell that information to anyone they so choose, including the government.

And in America, at least, the government is the largest user of your private cell phone information due to a number of laws (most importantly the Telecommunications Act of 1996) that require all major phone carriers to give it to them.

What they’re doing with your private information is even more shocking, as since the days immediately following 9/11, the US has created the largest domestic intelligence and surveillance apparatus the world has ever seen comprised of what are called Fusion Centers (there are currently 70 of them found in every US State) manned by over 200,000 police-state operatives (public and private) and operating with a budget over $75 Billion (2009).

Now going from the mere scary to the downright frightening was the news this past week that these same Fusion Centers put in a rush order for 350,934 copies of what they call the “National Detainee Handbook” they want printed up by April 29, 2011, and is used by the US government for what are called “detention and removal operations.” 

If you’re wondering at this point who the US government is planning on “detaining and removing” you need look no further than your own cell phone, after all, since 1996 they’ve been able to track and monitor tens of millions of Americans and pretty much know right now who they want to keep silent when the preverbal “shit” hits the fan. [Note: All cell phone conversations in the US are funneled through the National Security Agency’s (NSA) Echelon System that captures “keywords” and passes them onto the Fusion Centers for further analyses of those deemed a “threat” to security.] 

For you to believe that you, or those close to you, are not on some government “detain and remove” list means you are in such denial as to be a genuine threat to yourself and your family, and maybe it’s time you woke up this simple fact: You live in a country that is ruled by ruthless monsters that care absolutely nothing about you and have robbed you and your nation blind because you have let them. So catastrophic has the American economy become that Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin rightly called it “hooliganism” after it was downgraded this past week by Standard and Poor’s credit rating agency.  

For nearly a decade we have warned you, repeatedly, and in too many different ways to count, of what these times are all about and what is going to happen next; the vast majority of you haven’t listened.  Even worse are the many who mocked us and others like us for daring to tell you the truth.

And, while the majority of you have mocked, laughed and ridiculed us, the same cannot be said of those, like us, who know the truth, and who, according to a recent CNN report, have increased the sales of survival shelters in the US by over 3,000%!  

For those of you who have followed us for years you are, no doubt, well prepared for the vicious storm that is soon to come.  To those of you who have not prepared, however, there is still time to do so, and if not now…when?

The most important survival resource you have available to you is your own mind, but only if you know how to use it.

In order to help you use it we created years ago two books to help you, Picking up the Pieces: Practical Guide for Surviving Economic Crashes, Internal Unrest and Military Suppression and The Partisans Handbook: Essential Survival Guide For Resisting Foreign Military Occupation, Escape And Evasion Techniques, Surviving Interrogation, Facing Execution, Wilderness Survival, both of which you’ll need knowledge of in the hard times to come.

To also help you, especially in light of many more of you knowing how dangerous your cell phones really are, we are offering, for this weekend only, a special combined offer of our Cloak of Athena protection device [read more here] and Survival Planning Tobacco Seeds [read more here] for the price of $35.00 [US], both of which, if you don’t already have, you do need.

This savings of over $10.00 was made available to you by one of our more generous benefactors who wishes to remain anonymous, but whom we gratefully thanked on your behalf.

More than anything else though, always remember the old maxim: “It is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.”  Words to the wise that this new generation is having to learn, so that like those that have gone before them, learn the value of preparing before it’s too late.   

Note: Cost does not include $4.50 [US] World-Wide Shipping and Handling.
