Horrifying Graphic: What The NSA Knows About You From Your Phone Usage Alone
The National Security Agency’s collection of data regarding telephone conversations is a far greater threat to privacy than many of us believe. A lawsuit filed by a German politician proves just how much you can learn about a person’s life by monitoring and tracking their phone usage.
Malte Spitz, a member of Germany’s Green Party, sued his cellphone company, T-Mobile, in 2010 in an attempt to determine how much the carrier knew about him. Malte won the suit and received a CD that showed how easy it is to track a person via their phone.
35,890 Records About His Movement
When he won his lawsuit, Spitz received a CD containing 35,830 records, each documenting his movements. Spitz learned that T-Mobile could pinpoint exactly where he was at a given time. By combining GPS with the data, Spitz could track his own movements around Germany.
T-Mobile knew exactly how many telephone calls Spitz received in a day, how many calls he made, how many Twitter messages he sent out, and how many he received. By examining the data, T-Mobile could figure out that Spitz was attending a political demonstration on Sept. 5, 2009. Spitz shared the data with the German magazine ZEIT, which had an easy time creating a simple interative graphic that tracked Spitz’s movements based on the metadata. The graphic, of which you can see a still of below, highlights what the NSA and mobile phone companies can find out about you from phone records alone (click here for the interactive version):
Those with access to such data could determine what church you go to, what people you visit, and where you shop. It could be used to make criminal cases or to orchestrate surveillance of a person.
Anthony Gucciardi: ‘How to Avoid Being Spied On By The NSA‘
Spitz’s lawsuit proves that telecom providers gather a vast amount of metadata about their customers. This is the kind of data that Edward Snowden revealed the NSA collects about Americans and shares with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.
Telecom Gestapo
In a New York Times op-ed piece, Spitz compared such data collection efforts to the work of the Nazi secret police or Gestapo and the Communist East German police or Stasi. He noted that Wolfgang Schauble, a former German Interior Minister (the nation’s chief law enforcement official), who lobbied for a data retention law to enable government to collect such data, was nicknamed Stasi 2.0 by German civil rights activists.
It appears that everybody who uses a mobile device is being constantly tracked by large companies like T-Mobile and Google. Spitz has shown us that these companies now possess tracking capabilities that the Gestapo and Stasi only dreamed of. Those capabilities are now being shared with agencies like the NSA and FBI.
We need to rein in such companies and such agencies now before privacy becomes a thing of the past. Malte Spitz is to be congratulated for exposing this metadata tracking; our media is to be condemned for ignoring Spitz’s revelations until Snowden’s revelations.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
It seems that only I and a few other people are horrified by this. What’s wrong with the rest of you americans? Are you not angered by this spying? Because all I hear are crickets.
Angering appears to be the correct term, whereas to use the term ‘horrifying’ is fearmongering.
More people are fed up about this then one would think, however we have too many on the dole who don’t care, and, what is really going to turn the screws is if people sit on their butts is amnesty. Just think, when it does all those tens of millions are going to ‘come out of the shadows’ and punch you in the face with their amnesty cards, while we are also forced to have forced Biometrics as part of the bill also. This spying can be handled by cutting back use, using just to dissent for instance, cutting off their money by not buying more tech and appliance etc (rfid is in appliances now). But the amnesty and flood of immigrants who don’t give a crap, that is the immediate kill-the-US plan, along with the TPP. This in a way is a diversion, though a more legitimate on than the zimmerman, irs benghazi crap, but it should be obvious that amnesty is the big assault that’s coming while people are looking the other way.
Not to diminish this, it in fact has been my area for about fifteen years, but immediately speaking, the ignorance of amnesty is going to be the single biggest regret Americans are going to have, and yet people stupidly ignore it. Then people will only have themselves to be angry at. Though we could apply the same to this, people have ignored this for years also. Now where are we.
I guess the mafia was right when they refused to talk on phones. They knew way back then that wiretapping and recording conversations was pervasive throughout the gov’t.
This has been happening since cell phones were invented. Bush ramped it up, Obama is just fine tuning it a little bit.
I guess I’d have to be surprised before I could be horrified. Hasn’t anyone heard of operation shamrock? We’ve been spied on since telephones were invented. I knew this was going on long before I got a cell phone. I just don’t worry about it because I’m no threat to them. Following me around has to be the most boring job an NSA agent could have.
I was a bit outraged when the story broke, like two weeks ago. How long am I supposed to be outraged? I mean, can I get over it already and focus on solutions, or spreading the info? Being outraged is just so unfocused and not in action. Moving forward, I think the NSA disclosure stuff was/is a great thing, it wakes more people up, and cinches that much tighter, the noose that’s around the NWOBankster Cabal neck…
The government doesn’t care about your secret affairs that you are so afraid of someone finding out. They are not “spying” on you. Thy collect certain data that informs them of potentially dangerous people (terrorists). They don’t care about you pitiful little conversations. Get a life. Be thankful the Government is keeping tabs on dangerous people. Are you one of them and that’s why you are “horrified”… Stop listening to Alex Jones and the like who tell you lies and make up “news” to scare you. Wake UP!!!
Obvious Troll. Go get your 30-pieces of silver from your owner and be gone.
Ah if it were only that simple… The government has no interest in catching terrorists. The whole war on terrorism is a scam. No this data collection is much more sinister.
Now I’ve never been a bible thumper but the way all these current events line up with prophesy- not just bible prophesy but all end times prophesies- has forced me to reconsider.
Very soon the veil will drop and the demonic forces that have ruled this planet covertly for centuries will rule over us overtly. And this database housing information about every misdeed, every sin we’ve ever committed or thought about committing will be used to blackmail us in to submission.
The ‘bibles’ and for that matter quoran were re-written by the zio/jews, same ilk as the ‘money changers’, same ilk as owns all the banks, fed reserve, world banks, media, food supply/monsanto etc.
The very Last thing you should be doing now is diving into their religious ops. How do you think they managed to dupe sheep ‘christians’ into dying in all their fake ‘wars’ and going after muslims after the zio/jews and neo cons did 911 and blamed it on muslims, all to invade and take over six more countries for themselves. Don’t go all sheep at this point, know the reality, who is in control and how far this goes back. Stay analytical, stop paying thier corporations.
http://www.apfn.org/apfn/wtc_stf.htm and http://www.pgorg.com
The fake ‘churches’ are part of the scam. Notice their silence on chemtrails, and that they’re pushing amnesty to kill the US. Think for yourself, and stop buying from their corporations. Inform others on the facts. copy save the links to share.
Excellent point there. The ‘bibles’ were in fact highly edited and the churches were established by those who edited them. But it’s not just the ‘zio-Jews’ as you call them. They’re just one faction involved in this. It’s so much bigger than that. There is enough truth in those ‘bibles’ and other sources (especially the books that were edited out) to figure this thing out.
The more you look at the big picture the bigger it gets. This has all happened before. Last time was 13,000 years ago when Atlantis was destroyed. So much human history has been erased an what remains has been reduced to myths and legends. Keep searching thenagain. Be careful not to put this all on one group. That’s what they want. The money lenders have signed a pact with the fourth reich. The Muslims are on board. The Russians and Chinese are tools for them. This is not just an American thing. This is a global takeover.
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST PARTS ABOUT THE WHOLE SPYING THING.
Your phone is a tracking tool. you update your facebook page and tell everything to strangers already – they don’t need to spy
Light and Life. You are very naive. Be thankful that the government is keeping tabs on dangerous people. Open your eyes. Did you know that just about every citizen in America is regarded as dangerous by this administration. And that probably includes you.!!!!!! Feel a bit violated?
L and L is not just naive he/she it’s a loser govt troll. Good post otherwise, now just know who’s in control so you stop buying from all big corporations because they own nearly all of them. Stop paying for liar tv, plant some food, and of course share info so others know. see links above.
Get yourself a trac-fone and activate it anonimously. Problem solved. They call them I-phones because what they really are is”eye” phones! Government eyes all over you. It isn’t worth it to have those things. I don’t have a facebook account or twitter, or any of those stupid things. I value my privacy.
Then what are you doing on this monitored site? Lol. The NSA can spy on you any time they feel like it. Did you post this from an electronic device, or something different. Doubt if it was your Trac phone.
If you value your privacy dwoodin, you should not use this site; They do not protect user info. Everyone’s email (Expect for the Main guy, Chris Kitze) is available for all to see.
Yeah you keep talking about this. Haven’t figured it out. The only info I gave this site is one of my email addresses. I know how to find out quite a bit with an email address. But haven’t figured out how to get that off here.
I’m sure you’ve already checked me out. How boring that must have been.
Actually Judas, i haven’t.
I respect people’s privacy too much.
I prefer letting them know of this issue through my comments.
Some people, who obviously go too far, then i may divulge part of their email, so they can realize that what they say can always come back to bite them in the a*s.
The editor and moderators have either ignored or deleted my comments pertaining to this.
Well that’s downright decent of ya. Aside from privacy I also greatly respect the right to free speech. Hop on here and say whatever the hell you want. If someone doesn’t like it they can say whatever they want. Love to watch the back and forth of it all. Very entertaining. Plus the perception of anonymity harbors a level of honesty you won’t see in real life. Great thing to have an outlet for people to hash out their crazy before taking action on it.
Speaking of entertaining and crazy I was freakin floored by your latest geir smith stories. I mean people say lol all the time when they barely crack a smile but I was literally roflmao.
@ judas..
i see youre a plumber
Damn good one too
And my real name is Joshua.
Look all you want. I’ve found the secret to living guilt free is to be shameless.
the fact you want me to look is … creepy… i dont think i can..
you sound a reasonable sort josh..
“I’ve found the secret to living guilt free is to be shameless.”
i like that! but they arrested me and called me an exhibitionist for that!
Living guilt free and being found not guilty are 2 very different things
It’s not that I want you to look. I just have nothing to hide. This is all an illusion. This whole universe. Reality itself isn’t real. Matter is nothing more than vibrating strings of energy moving within forcefields composed of conscious thought. Quantum physics is proving what eastern philosophy has been telling us for millinias.
These bodies are like costumes for the spirits that dwell within. Our souls are a record of everything we’ve ever experienced across multiple lifetimes. This universe is a holographic interactive theater we all entered into with great enthusiasm because life in the eternal realm is, well, kinda boring. All the world is a stage and we are the actors.
Everyone alive today came to this point in time on this planet to be a part of one of the greatest shows ever dreamed up. We all got to see the script beforehand and we all chose our parts. No need to get caught up in it. When the show’s over we’ll all high five each other for the great performances.
Ascension is simply the process of leaving the theater. It’s done by releasing attachment to the character- the ego. We stay here as long as we think that we can change what bothers us. The way to break free is to understand that the point of being bothered is not to change our surroundings to suit our preferences, but to identify judgements we have made that limit our perceptions. We break free when we stop trying to change the situation to fit our desires and start changing our desires to fit the situation.
Many great challenges are coming our way. Few physical entities will survive. How do I know? This soul has been here a long time. Long enough to know that rapid population growth invites new souls to this region of reality and upsets the balance. A correction is underway. Old souls will be ascending and the new ones will begin the next cycle.
Or maybe I’m just crazy. Idk. We’ll see
too esoteric for me josh..
Well I’m glad you’re wise enough to call it esoteric. And even gladder that you’re listening to your inner voice rather than mine. Keep that up and you’ll be just fine. Peace and best of luck to ya friend.
