|

Google in <Yvonne Ridley>, go to her site, and then to 'Spooksville', which has YouTube clip. I've brought this up before, and one of our members contributed the useful idea that covering the phone with silver paper saves taking the battery out (but only while you are discussing 'highly incriminating dastardly plans', of course!). As Craig Murray plainly states in his excellent book, 'Murder in Samarkand', it's not only the FBI that has the facility. |

I am genuinely shocked at that clip. It is outrageous.
It reminded me of this piece about the internal microphones in computers that can be used for eavesdropping on computer users.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2006/060906spyon.htm
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09/03/google_eavesdropping_software/
While both these articles pertain to the USA, we know that what happens there is likley to be happening here or will be soon. It seems likely that the same backdoor facilities will be present within mobile phones and computers in the UK and elsewhere and, if that is the case, you can bet that intel agencies, corporations, etc will be wanting to use them.
These are gross invasions of privacy that I'd bet 99% of the population are completely unaware of. _________________ "Nothing can trouble you but your own imagination." ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Thanks Craig.
I love synchronicity.
Its been a Charles Bukowski week.
I am not suprised if there is a propensity for this to be used in the Uk.
I had a friend who used to make music with scanners and they pick up conversations very easily.
The microphones in newer computers are very likely to be on too. _________________ www.freecycle.org

Re whether it happens in UK, I'll quote following from Craig Murray's 'Murder in Samarkand' (he was our Ambassador in Uzbekistan until he blew the whistle that Uzbecks were boiling prisoners alive. Jack Straw's Foreign Office told him to shut up about it, he refused, and was removed. Quote (page 292): ' You can be bugged very easily. A sound bug can be no bigger than a pin, but it is not necessary to plant one. Directional microphones are very effective, and can be used from several hundred metres away if necessary, but it is much easier to use the telephone. Either a home landline or a mobile can be remotely activated to serve as a microphone, bugging the room even though the handset is down, or the mobile switched off. The resulting sound can be cleaned up to surprising quality'.
I believe this is the reason 'authorities' don't want to use phone evidence in court cases; they have said they 'don't want to expose their capabilities'. What capabilities but this could they be talking about? Everyone knows calls can be monitored, but they are blissfully unaware that phones can be utilised as mikes even when switched off. Let's correct that, troopers! |

That's a lie about microwave ovens. They have a huge and extensive field when switched on. Whether they shield mobile phone signals when off, I'll test in the near future _________________ http://www.exopolitics-leeds.co.uk/introduction |

Even if that worked, I don't carry a microwave oven in my pocket; but I can & do carry some silver foil. |

If you guys want to be healthy
throw away the microwave oven
it really is the worst thing you can cook with, burning your food with petrol is more healthy.
I cannot see why they would want to be listening to us while we are at home?
If they want to intercept calls, or if they want to place a bugging device they have the legal go ahead to do it nowadays.
In any case surely they wont want to target 911 truthers who are after all peace campaigners _________________

Lead would work, thickness unknown, but again not very portable.
Taking the battery out is not enough to stop them using it a locator/tracker (probably does stop bugging - at least for any duration), you have to remove the SIM card also... which can mean losing phone settings. Hence the microwave "phone bank". _________________ Make love, not money. |

Thank you, Thermate. I was just about to write back saying 'try it, oh ye of little faith' when I thought I'd check it again. Sure enough, some foil does not work. But ordinary baking foil does work - try it yourself, by phoning your mobile from your home phone. I got 'sorry, phone not available', which means signals, of any sort, aren't getting through. But yes, it matters what foil you use. My tinfoil 'conspiracy theorist' hat did not work!! |

Mock all you like - my intention is to inform people who may not be aware that mobile phones (as well as home phones on the hook) can transmit conversations even when switched off. Some people do not want others to have that information - the 'Powers that Be' and of course their agents. !A Luta Continua! |

test the foil for mobiles, unplug the landline and dont talk in the room that the computer is in.
any other advice that someone has?
all useful stuff.
Nb read Andy McNabs books even his fiction ones for some hints how they may watch or follow.
However i think you can end up too paranoid - the important thing is to keep doing what youre doing dont let them make you afraid as thats what they want!

I just put my mobile in the microwave and it still works.
Wrapped it in foil and I can't get through !
Can still text to it in the foil though !
Bizarre !
It just goes to prove the old adage for us CTers at least:

Minding my own business, listening to the record-player and doing the washing up this morning, when all of a sudden the answerphone burst into life. I was nowhere near it, and the phone hadn't rung. Immediately suspicious, I rung 1471, and sure enough, the last call recorded was the previous day. On listening to the 'message', there was muffled music, probably the music I had been playing but I couldn't be sure.
As most of us know, you only get 'clicks' on the phone if 'they' want you to know you're being bugged. I get silent or malicious calls most every day, combined with post problems. As Alfred E. Newman (or is it Neuman?) would say, 'Wot? Me worry?' _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'. Luke IV 5-7. |

Following my Sunday post, I was in bed when, at 00.20 Monday morning, one of my two burglar alarms went off (even though it wasn't 'armed', or switched on). Also, the whole of the system is indoors, so there was no physical interference possible.
Wouldn't it be an idea to have part of the forum for supporters to document 'dirty tricks', or otherwise inexplicable occurences, so that we can compare notes and be aware? _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'.

This legal disclosure also seems to suggest that supposedly switched off phones are used by the police, security services and private investigators as roving bugs.
FBI taps cell phone mic as eavesdropping tool
By Declan McCullagh and Anne Broache

update The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.
The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.
Nextel cell phones owned by two alleged mobsters, John Ardito and his attorney Peter Peluso, were used by the FBI to listen in on nearby conversations. The FBI views Ardito as one of the most powerful men in the Genovese family, a major part of the national Mafia.
The surveillance technique came to light in an opinion published this week by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan. He ruled that the "roving bug" was legal because federal wiretapping law is broad enough to permit eavesdropping even of conversations that take place near a suspect's cell phone.
Kaplan's opinion said that the eavesdropping technique "functioned whether the phone was powered on or off." Some handsets can't be fully powered down without removing the battery; for instance, some Nokia models will wake up when turned off if an alarm is set. ..........

Loomis do a reduced rate armoured car mobile transport for Truthers.
There is something odd about posters trying to laugh off this important information, that the 'Authorities' can use our mobiles as bugs, even when switched off, and ditto for our home landlines even when on the hook. _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'.

Not quite - it's not a matter of signal reaching the phone or not, it's a matter of signal strength, which determines the Carrier/Noise ratio (CNR) and Bit Error Rate (BER), which determines whether calls or texts are attempted (by the system). Did you try texting to it?
Mark Gobell wrote:
Quote: | Wrapped it in foil and I can't get through ! Can still text to it in the foil though ! Bizarre ! |
Not really - the system estimates the CNR and BER before attempting to connect a call or send an SMS. If these are too low, it may decide that a call isn't workable, but is high enough for an SMS. It's like being in a poor service area, or on a mountain, when it's quite common to be able to send/receive SMS but not make / receive calls.

I think this is a false and diversionary argument, with the supposed civil libertarians on one side, and the state on the other. Serves to re-enforce the basic lie (they want to kill us for our freedom, we are in great danger we need protection etc) and lets something quite terrifying slip through unknown to most:
If phone tap evidence is admissible, "they" can fit anyone up for anything, with voice morphing. |

Most of you may not consider them to be savory characters, but if you want to know how to beat this sort of thing ask a drug dealer - they do it for a living.
Back when I used to peddle cannabis in HS and college, it was common knowledge in those circles that you have to pull the battery from your celly or leave it in another room if you're going to discuss something sensitive. And this was 10 years ago! _________________ The answer to 1984 is 1776!

Thanks, Dallas. When I was in the States in 1959, there was a device you could buy by mail-order that made home phones into microphones; you would phone the number with the device attached to your phone, the target would get a 'silent' call, then when he put the handset back it was still 'live'. It was, I believe, about $500 (I didn't buy one!). _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'.
