The Information Awareness Office (IAO) was established in January 2002 after the attacks of September 11, 2001 to bring together several DARPA projects focused on applying information technology. Their mission was to "imagine, develop, apply, integrate, demonstrate, and transition information technologies, components and prototype, closed-loop, information systems that will achieving total information awareness."
Their goal was to detect, ID, classify and track potential anti-government targets through multi-agencies and to acquire data through advanced technological applications for surveillance. Take a look at the All-Seeing-Eye in the logo above watching, listening, and tracking the whole globe and spying with Echelon technology. How's that for your tax dollars at work?
The Total Information Awareness program itself was the "systems-level" program... Among the other programs was the Genisys Privacy Protection, Evidence Extraction, Link Discovery, and Scalable Social Network Analysis program. Utilizing the full capabilities of Echelon technology along with a sister organization called the Information Exploitation Office, the US foreign and domestic spying capabilities are all akin to an "All-Seeing-Eye".
The Information Awareness Office began funding research and development of the Total Information Awareness Program in February 2003 but renamed the program the Terrorism Information Awareness Program in May that year after an adverse reaction to the program's implications for public surveillance.
Following public criticism that the development and deployment of these technologies could potentially lead to a mass surveillance system the Information Awareness Office was defunded by Congress in 2003, although several of the projects run under IAO have continued under different funding (explained below).
The Guardian ran a story which said, "Think, Big Brother is Watching You. The Information Awareness Office will supply federal officials with 'instant' analysis on what is being written on email and said on phones and all over U.S. Domestic espionage. You want to test it? Just Text-Message any American friend, 'Bmb OK. Allah gr8'."
GAIT (Global Automated Identification Technology)
Take a look at the Diagram above of the (official) Total Information Awareness system. Study the diagram carefully and notice the Biometric Data section... In it's continuing efforts to tighten surveillance and control in our country - our government has been reorganizing its resources in many ways and although the Information Awareness Office was defunded - it is not dead but rather it is running in the background - alive and doing very well... (explained below)
The Information Awareness system has their "All-Seeing-Eye" of intelligence focused on: Biometric signatures of humans - Face - Fingerprints - Gait "Global Automated Identification Technology" aka RFID - Iris - Speech recognition - Transactional Spying - Financial - Education -Travel - Medical -Veterinary - Country Entry -Place/Event Entry - Transportation - Housing - Critical Resources - Government and Communications...
Poly GAIT university in California is providing education and training to students and industrial partners, and fostering collaboration among industry, government, and the academia for the advancement of automatic identification technologies. aka RFID... Exploiting the new opportunities and challenges of RFID technologies.
On the DARPA website the statement was made:
The most serious asymmetric threat facing the United States is terrorism, a threat characterized by collections of people loosely organized in shadowy networks that are difficult to identify and define - while at the same time they displayed the logo (at the top of this page) with the "All Seeing Eye" so often associated with the Illuminati.
An organization which has, presumably, ties with other "shadowy" groups such as the Freemasons, the Order of Jesuits and others... Besides Illuminati symbolism, another project with occult overtones in the Total Information Awareness program includes the Babylon program.
Another is the Human Identification at a Distance project (HumanID)... This project combines Fuse face and Gait recognition using visible imagery into a 24/7 human identification system, and the MATRIX project (Multistate Antiterrorism Information Exchange), although defunded in 2005 all the dynamics are well established.
The Human Identification at a Distance (HumanID) project developed automated biometric identification technologies to detect, recognize and identify humans at great distances for "force protection", crime prevention, and "homeland security/defense" purposes - algorithms for locating and acquiring subjects out to 150 meters (500 ft) in range.
Evidence Extraction and Link Discovery (EELD) technologies use tools for automated discovery, extraction and linking of sparse evidence contained in large amounts of classified and unclassified data sources such as phone call records internet histories - bank financial records - text messages, social networking sites, and web pages.
Genisys aimed at developing technologies which would enable ultra-large, all-source information repositories with vast amounts of information collected using database technology... At the time it was insufficient for storing and organizing such enormous quantities of data. So they developed techniques for virtual data aggregation in order to support effective analysis across heterogeneous databases, as well as unstructured public data sources, such as the World Wide Web.
"Effective analysis across heterogenous databases" means the ability to take things from databases which are designed to store different types of data—such as a database containing criminal records, a phone call database, or a foreign intelligence database etc...
Another goal was to develop a large, distributed system architecture for managing the huge volume of raw data input, analysis results, and feedback, that will result in a simpler, more flexible data store that performs well and allows the ultra-large all-source database to retain important data indefinitely."
Scalable Social Network Analysis (SSNA) aimed at developing techniques based on analysis for modeling the key characteristics of various groups - discriminating these groups from other groups of society... In order to be successful SSNA will require information on the social interactions of the majority of people around the globe. Since the Defense Department cannot easily distinguish between peaceful citizens and terrorists, it will be necessary for them to gather data on innocent civilians as well as on potential terrorists.
Components of the Total Information Awareness program continues to be developed and despite the withdrawal of funding and the closing of the Information Awareness Office the core of the project has survived.
Legislators included a classified annex to the Defense Appropriations Act that preserved funding for TIA's component technologies, if they were transferred to other government agencies. TIA projects continued to be funded under classified annexes to Defense and Intelligence appropriation bills.
Massive information aggregation and analysis technologies are a grave threat to our privacy and civil liberties. Allowing our government to monitor all our communications, and to map all our social networks will give them the ability to target dissenters or political threats and such a system of surveillance is a necessary component of a strong totalitarian state.
DARPA is independent from other conventional military organizations and reports directly to senior Department of Defense management. These technologies will converge soon along with many others into a single Global RFID database system...
Entry into this database will not be accomplished by a vote of the people but rather by either conquest or consent. Either way the results will be the same... Global government and the control and numbering of everything on earth. The 2010 census (here in PDF format) was designed and promoted by the United Nations to position you and your family by using today's satellite technology and you are being placed in preparation for location in this RFID database if you join this system...
