Before It’s News
The tech industry giants continue to dutifully “lead the way” into a suffocating surveillance state in collusion with the nasty likes of the NSA, FBI, CIA, TSA and the DHS..to name a “phew”. (Almost ran out of letters. Notice they’re almost always 3?…hmmm. The Masons wouldn’t have anything to do with all this, would they?)
This time a “non-profit group Parking Mobility, created by George Soros-funded organizations, created the Android, Blackberry and iPhone parking ticket app which encourages cities to adopt the program because they can ‘generate revenue.'”
As if our well-being was the purpose for this indoctrination into self-policing. I mean, c’mon.
Deputizing Citizens As Parking Meter Snitches? There’s An App For That
“Residents of Austin, Texas may soon have the power to issue parking tickets by taking a few photographs of someone else’s car with their smartphones. A unanimous council voted on October 20 to explore the concept of deputizing vigilante meter maids using an iPhone app. Disabled advocates pushed the program at the council meeting in the hopes of guaranteeing easier parking. They were joined by others who were just interested in writing the $511 tickets.
The system requires a person take three photographs of the alleged violator — one of the license plate, one of the windshield and one showing the car and the handicapped parking sign. The software sends the photos and the GPS location to the city so it can issue the expensive ticket.

A New Run At An Old Plan and its Nasty Effects
Since a big run at installing a ramped-up snitch program last year, they seem to have since concentrated on spyware technology due to the blowback they got. But this clever re-introduction via the “handicapped” in an attempt to get it into every city under the guise of an income generator is pretty damn devious.
However it is taking its toll on the innocent. If you follow the news you’ll examples continually of people using the
The Snitch Rollout
If you remember, last December we had a major snitch program roll-out. Walmart started running the DHS “If you see something say something” campaign which continues to leak into the social fabric, YouTube installed a Terror Alert Tag, and then Apple of course joined in as the first to publish this Nazi throwback Patriot App–just as patriotic as its predecessor, the freedom-extinguishing Patriot Act.
This was all on the heels of the first WikiLeaks uproar. Hmm. Funny how they had these programs ready to roll out. Wonder what they’ll use for the next crank up? Watch for it.
