Police Use Homeland Security Cameras In Real Time Including Grabbing Cell Phone Calls—video and pictures
by Monica Davis
News sources say police now have the ability to track cell phone usage via new mesh networking technology. According to Wikipedia, this mesh networking AKA topology,
is a type of network topology where each node must not only capture and disseminate its own data, but also serve as a relay for other nodes, that is, it must collaborate to propagate the data in the network.
A mesh network can be designed using a flooding technique or a routing technique. When using a routing technique, the message is propagated along a path, by hopping from node to node until the destination is reached. To ensure all its paths’ availability, a routing network must allow for continuous connections and reconfiguration around broken or blocked paths, using self-healing algorithms. A mesh network whose nodes are all connected to each other is a fully connected network. Mesh networks can be seen as one type of ad hoc network. Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mesh networks are therefore closely related, but MANET also have to deal with the problems introduced by the mobility of the nodes.
The self-healing capability enables a routing based network to operate when one node breaks down or a connection goes bad. As a result, the network is typically quite reliable, as there is often more than one path between a source and a destination in the network. Although mostly used in wireless situations, this concept is also applicable to wired networks and software interaction.
Now, when you add it to spy cameras, we are talking about a cyber network of interconnected cameras which can be accessed across the entire connection. Reportedly this network has built in redundancies, so if one node breaks down, others can take over–in a self-healing, self-replicating network.
According to Mikael Thalen, Seattle used a $2.5 million Homeland Security grant to generate a mesh netweork which is capable of accessing Homeland Security spy cameras and grabbing data from cell phones in real time.
Following bombshell documents released by Storyleak and Infowars last Tuesday uncovering Seattle’s expansive $2.6 million Homeland Security funded mesh network surveillance grid, new documents hidden deep inside the 2012 proposal request (# DIT-2996) give even greater detail into the government’s ability to track and database virtually any person.
After local media began questioning the appearance of mysterious “off-white boxes” attached to utility poles in the downtown area, reports uncovered the mesh network devices’ ability to siphon off unsuspecting mobile user’s IP addresses as well as the last 1,000 locations visited. MOREHERE
