THE DARKNESS, Behind The Convenience

Fellow Believers, Let’s Look At Today’s World, Specifically, Our Privacy And Our Security, What Is Allowed, What Is NOT Allowed, And What We ALLOW.

First, Let’s Look At Our “Supposed” Protection:

The Fourth Amendment, To The United States Constitution (The United States Bill Of Rights).

“The Right Of The People To Be Secure, In Their Persons, Houses, Papers, And Effects, Against Unreasonable, Searches And Seizures, Shall NOT Be Violated, And NO Warrants Shall Issue, BUT Upon Probable Cause, Supported By Oath OR Affirmation, And Particularly, Describing The Place To Be Searched, And The Persons, OR Things, To Be Seized.

Next, Let’s Look, At An Exception, To This Protection: The Wiretap (i.e. Listening In, On Our Phone Conversations).

The Wiretap Order – The Police MUST First Obtain A Wiretap Order, BEFORE Eavesdropping, On Our Phone Conversations.  This Is Similar To A Warrant.  The Police MUST Prove, To A Judge, That They Have Probable Cause, To Believe That Tapping Our Phone Lines OR Cellphones, Will Help Them, To Solve A Serious Crime; Such As, Drug Trafficking, Money Laundering, OR Terrorism.  However, Because Wiretapping Is So Intrusive, The Police Are Held, To A Higher Standard, When Seeking Wiretap Orders, Than When They Are Seeking Warrants.

The Wiretap Act, PROHIBITS The Intentional Interception, Use, OR Disclosure Of Wire And Electronic Communications (Including, Cellphones); UNLESS, A Statutory EXCEPTION Applies!  In General, The Act’s Prohibitions, BAR Third Parties (Including, The United States Government), From Wiretapping Telephones (Including, Cellphones).  HOWEVER, A Wiretap Order, PERMITS Law Enforcement Officers, To INTERCEPT Wire Communications, For Up To 30 Days; And A Wiretap Order MUST Be Authorized, By The United States Department Of Justice, AND Signed By A United States District Court Judge, OR A United States Court Of Appeals Judge.

The Wiretap Act, Imposes Significant Requirements, That MUST Be Satisfied, BEFORE Investigators Can Obtain A Wiretap Order.  Most Importantly, The Application For A Title III Order, MUST Show Probable Cause, To Believe That The Interception, Will Reveal Evidence Of One Of The Felony Offenses Listed, In Title 18, United States Code § 2518(3); These Offenses Include: Murder, Kidnapping, Robbery, Extortion, Obstruction Of Criminal Investigations, Bank Fraud, Sex Trafficking, Money Laundering, And More.

Fellow Believers, IF Law Enforcement, MUST Jump Through Legal Hoops, To Listen In, On Our Phone Conversations; The Rest Of Us, MUST Be Safe, From Anyone Else, Listening In, Right?  WRONG!

Our Cellphones, Have More Than One Microphone, Did YOU Know THAT?  Did YOU Know, That The Companies, Which Provide Our Cellphones, OPENLY Listen In, On Our Phone Conversations (BOTH Verbal And Text Messages)?  More Than That, Our Cellphones (Equipped With GPS) Actually Track Our Every Movement (Whether We Want Them To, OR NOT); And They Have OPEN Access, To Our Cellphone’s Audio And Video Capabilities (i.e. To Use IT, To Record Conversations, Photographs, And Videos Of Us, Without Our Knowledge); NOT To Mention, That When We Use The Internet (i.e. For Searches, Social Media, Email, Blogs, etc.), They Have Access, To All Of IT!

WHY YOU ASK?  Well, Because We GAVE IT, To Them (Yes, We Consented To IT)!  When We Started Using Our Cellphones, We Had To Accept Agreements, That Most Of Us, Do NOT Even Bother To Read, Before Hitting ACCEPT; Why, Well Because We Want To Be Able To Use Our Cellphones, And We Can NOT Use Our Cellphones, UNLESS We Do So!  I Wonder Why That Is?  We Do The Same Thing, When We Add Apps OR Applications (i.e. Small Computer Programs), That We Want Access To, Such As, Facebook, The Weather, etc.; All Without Thinking About, What We Are Doing; To Whom, Are We Giving Access, What We Are Giving Them Access To, And To Whom, Will They Share IT With!

Folks, It’s NOT Just Our Cellphones, By The Way; We Do The Same Thing With Our Computers, Tablets, Google Assistant Products, Amazon’s Alexa Products, Our Televisions, And Even Our Cars!  We Are Literally, Giving Them Access To EVERYTHING!  All With Our Consent, IF NOT, With Our Knowledge!  All These Products, Also Have, Microphones And Cameras; Did YOU Really Think, IT Was, For ONLY Our Convenience?  That’s Right, These Companies, Place Microphones And Cameras, On Their Devices, With The Explicit Purpose Of Using Them, For Their Own Gain, NOT Ours!  Yes, These Microphones And Cameras, Can, Will, And Are Used, Via Remote Access, By These Companies, For Their Own Purposes; Including, One Day, To Speak Directly To Us, Without Our Solicitation, OR Provocation!  Think About THAT, For A Moment!

So, I Have An Obvious Question For YOU; Why Do We Naively, Give These Companies, The Right, To Infiltrate Our Daily Lives; When We Do NOT Even Want Our Own Government, OR Law Enforcement, To Have IT, FREELY?

After All, Law Enforcement MUST Obtain A Court Order; For Something, We Are GIVING AWAY, To The Private Sector (i.e. These Companies), FOR FREE!  Does Anyone Else See The Irony HERE?

The Aftermath Of THIS Intrusion, Is Felt Every Day, By Each Of Us; When Things, We Have Talked About, In Conversation, Suddenly Appear Online, In Advertisements, etc.; Even When, We Did NOT Do, An Actual Search, On IT, OR For IT!

Well, When Your Google Assistant OR Amazon’s Alexa, Starts Giving YOU Unsolicited Advice, OR Even Scarier, Your Children; Perhaps, YOU Will Begin To Comprehend, THE DARKNESS, Behind The Convenience!

Ephesians 2:1-2

And YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), HE (Jesus Christ) MADE ALIVE (THROUGH HIS BLOOD, i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension), Who Were Dead In Trespasses And Sins (i.e. The Bondage Of Sin), In Which, YOU (Fellow Believers) Once Walked, According To The Course Of THIS World (Satan’s World), According To The Prince Of The Power Of The Air (Satan), The Spirit, Who Now Works, In The Sons Of Disobedience (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers)!

Ephesians 6:12

For We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Do NOT Wrestle (Spiritually Battle) Against Flesh And Blood (i.e. Mankind), BUT (We Spiritually Battle) AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers Of The Darkness Of THIS Age, AGAINST Spiritual HOSTS Of Wickedness, In The Heavenly PLACES (i.e. We Spiritually Battle AGAINST Satan, The Fallen Angels, And Demons)!

Fellow Believers, Did YOU Catch THAT, Satan IS, The Prince Of The Power Of The Air; And Satan IS, One Of The Spiritual Hosts Of Wickedness, In The Dark, Evil, Spiritual Realm, And I Truly Believe, THIS Includes: Our Cellphones, The Internet, And More!

James 4:7-8a, 10

THEREFORE, SUBMIT TO GOD (GOD Almighty)!  Resist The Devil (Satan), And He (Satan) Will Flee From YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty)!  Draw Near To GOD (GOD Almighty), And HE (GOD Almighty) Will Draw Near To YOU!  HUMBLE YOURSELVES (Fellow Believers), IN THE SIGHT Of THE LORD (Jesus Christ), AND HE (Jesus) WILL LIFT YOU UP!

1 Peter 5:8-9

BE SOBER (Spiritually Alert), BE VIGILANT (Be Watchful); Because Your Adversary (THE Adversary), The Devil (Satan), Walks About, Like A Roaring Lion, Seeking Whom He May Devour!  Resist Him (Satan), STEADFAST (FIRM), IN THE FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), KNOWING, That The Same Sufferings (Spiritual Attacks) Are Experienced, By Your Brotherhood (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), In The World (Satan’s World)!

Ephesians 6:10-11, 13-18

Finally, My Brethren (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), BE STRONG, IN THE LORD (GOD Almighty), AND IN THE POWER Of HIS (GOD Almighty’s) MIGHT!  Put On The Whole ARMOR Of GOD (GOD Almighty), That YOU (Fellow Believers) May Be Able TO STAND (FIRM, IN THE FAITH Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), AGAINST The Wiles (The Deceptions) Of The Devil (Satan)!

Therefore, Take Up The Whole ARMOR Of GOD (GOD Almighty), That YOU (Fellow Believers) May Be Able To Withstand, In The Evil Day, And Having Done All, TO STAND (FIRM, IN THE FAITH Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

STAND Therefore, Having Girded Your Waist With TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Having Put On THE BREASTPLATE Of RIGHTEOUSNESS, And Having Shod Your Feet With The Preparation Of THE GOSPEL Of PEACE; ABOVE ALL, Taking THE SHIELD Of FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), With Which, YOU (Fellow Believers) Will Be Able To Quench, All The Fiery Darts (Spiritual Attacks) Of The Wicked One (Satan)!  And Take THE HELMET Of SALVATION (The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ), And THE SWORD Of THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), Which Is, THE WORD Of GOD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); PRAYING Always, With All Prayer And Supplication, IN THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), BEING WATCHFUL (Spiritually Alert), To This End, With All Perseverance, And Supplication, For All The Saints (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty)!

Fellow Believers, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!  Amen.
