Diabolical website idea

Miscellaneous General
1

I was reading an article about Britain’s ubiquitous surveillance and government monopoly on identity theft when a diabolical idea struck me. Someone should set up a video server so that people who live near government properties of interest can set up a webcam to broadcast surveillance video of what exactly the government is up to over the internet. That is, after all, the right-side up state of affairs… the citizenry keeping its government under surveillance. But we live in upside-down world where the government should be trusted, not the citizen. The citizenry, of course, must be surveilled and their every move scrutinized by the all-caring, all-loving Wonder Government®. But the government should be allowed to have as many secrets as it likes.

There is an ethical dilemma, however. I’m sure that if the website became popular it would give Dick Cheney his final heart attack. I’m not sure if that can be morally justified. [;)]

Looks like there’s a site that already hosts webcams for similar purposes… http://www.earthcam.com/ You all know what to do. [6]

Sounds like a good idea. Unforetunatly, I live on the wrong coast, so I can’t be of much help.

3

haha…I’ll do it.

What hardware and software do I need? How much will a few cameras cost?

4

Hmm, I thought only terrorists wanted to monitor government buildings. Good honest citizens have nothing to worry about and no need to waste their precious time on monitoring the government.

Cheney is a cyborg, you cannot kill him!

5

$70 bucks for a interweb enabled security camera.

Probably need a script to upload the pictures to a real server since I seriously doubt one of those would survive being directly connected to the net for very long before being reduced to a smoking pile of plastic and metal.

6

People have tried setting up activist “keep track of police” websites. They are usually shut down.

7

The government does plenty of crime out in the open and already under surveillance. On the front pages of papers, on camera, etc.

I can’t imagine anything worse could go on behind doors or public buildings they’d just lock you out of.

8

It’d still be a perfect political “prank.” I willingy to invest in putting one these up in a major city, near a government building.

Sometimes you would not even have to invest in anything. Simple research could provide free access to government security and survielance cameras.

Most internet security cameras come with a web server installed. Most government officials want “easy” access to things and tend not to secure their cameras (maybe). So if one were to try to find out what their local government target has bought and then try to determine the string that the webserver has.

Like Axis Web Cams have

inurl:/view/index.shtml

Enter this into google and you get to view cameras. But be warned that:

  1. Pornographers know this trick and you might click on a link that contains pornography.

  2. Though it is assumed that anyone with an open webserver is allowing people to view their camera, please resist tampering with the settings even though those may be open as well.

Other cameras have other strings too, search for them on google.

Also governments often have whole IP blocks located to them. For example lets say I am searching for possible interesting webcams and I do not know where to start so I go to google and type in:

site:*.mil

and all kinds of taxpayer funded stuff comes up. Time to put the “fun” back into funded.

So I choose something I never heard of before ..the Surreal Sounding National Geospatial Intelligence Agency is something I never knew existed before today but now I know. (nga.mil They have a really weird childrens website called NGA Kids).

Oddly my next step of using the host command is thwarted by some oddball attempt at security so I bypass it by the host -a command (this is a command to view the ip address of a website…not “hacking”) and I get the hostname of the nameservers and then the host command works on them. A whois command on the IP shows that nga.mil has an IP range of 164.214.0./16. Any cameras monitoring our geospatial intelligence that are open to the public would be here somewhere and viewable in your web browser.

You can also have fun with looking for file extensions on sites like

file:.pdf site:*.mil

This gives a list of all publically available pdf files. I suggest you do not look at them unless you hate yourself so much that you feel that reading government written documents for the public is suitable pennance for sins you have committed…or you have chronic insomnia and have tried everything.

------Edit-------

Actually I did not bypass anything at all. It turns out their primary nameserver and whois server are down. It just was broken and not security at all.

Sounds cool.

Twirlcan,

Nice post..those are some cool google tricks. I’m bookmarking this–possibly pin-worthy post.

12

Not a good idea I think. You rely on a third party.

The idea to watch the watcher is cool though. I think about it seriously. And if only to unmask the double morale when they will sue me to stop :slight_smile:

Not kill him, publish his moves :slight_smile:

Cheney is not a cyborg, he is a lizard. See also, this chilling whistle-blower’s story:

While still a child, Cathy says that she was raped, abused and tortured by some very famous people. She says that she was raped by Pierre Trudeau, the long time Prime Minister of Canada, who as a Jesuit, was working closely with the Vatican; she was raped again by Gerald Ford when he was actually President; raped by Ronald Reagan while he was President; and raped many times in the most brutal fashion by Dick Cheney, the White House Chief of Staff under Ford and the Defense Secretary of the United States under George Bush. Cathy is able to describe Cheney’s office in the Pentagon in great detail. If you accept her often highly detailed evidence you can only conclude that Cheney, like Bush, has an immensely imbalanced mind capable of staggering violence and murder.

Cathy says that Cheney told her on one occasion: “I could kill you - kill you - with my bare hands. You’re not the first and you won’t be the last”.20 These were the characters who launched the Gulf War to show that ‘violence does not pay’! Cheney, Bush, and others have ‘fun’ playing something they call The Most Dangerous Game. It involves threatening government slaves like Cathy and other mind controlled children and adults with appalling consequences if they are caught.

They are then allowed to ‘escape’ into a forest, usually in some top secret military area like Lampe, Missouri or Mount Shasta, California, which are surrounded by a high fence to prevent any escape. George Bush, the man who called for a “kinder, gentler America”, Dick Cheney, and Bill Clinton often go after them with guns, Cathy says in her book and newspaper interviews. When they are caught, they are brutally raped, sometimes killed, she says.

The Mount Shasta compound, where Bush and Cheney shared an office, is, according to Cathy: “The largest covert mind control slave camp of which I am aware”.21 There she saw an enormous fleet of unmarked black helicopters, which, as researchers have revealed, are part of the Brotherhood’s private army which is being installed to instigate the coup d’etat against dissidents when the moment is deemed right.

These helicopters have often been reported near the scenes of ‘alien’ abductions and cattle mutilations. Part of the cover for these military and mind control operations at the Shasta compound, Cathy says, is the country music scene at Lake Shasta.

You people are too naive for your own good if you think Cheney’s a mere cyborg! Sheep, all of you!

Baaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
