Your Smartphone Apps Are Tracking Your Every Move With Location Aware Data, And Selling It To Everyone
The millions of dots on the map trace highways, side streets and bike trails — each one following the path of an anonymous cellphone user.
Take a good look at the top photo in this article, it’s deceiving. What looks like a stylized photo of New York City at night is a whole lot more than that. If you were to zoom in on it, you would see millions and millions of light pixels, with each on representing a smartphone or mobile device user. And every place they go, everything they purchase, every activity they perform, are all cataloged and recorded. Why do you think most apps are free? App makers are not giving you anything, they are taking it.
Christians back in the 1970’s through the 1990’s used to obsess about what their ‘FBI file’ looked like. Everyone hailed that as the coming Mark of the Beast, but guess what? Location aware data tracking creates a file on you that is 1,000 times more detailed and more intimate than any FBI file that could have be started on you. In this generation, you are the one creating the file on you. And not just one file, it’s dozens of files with all your info, all your messages, all your photos, all of it being viewed, sold and stored in data farms around the world.
The apps tracking their users’ locations aren’t keeping those data secret
FROM THE INDIAN EXPRESS: One path tracks someone from a home outside Newark, New Jersey, to a nearby Planned Parenthood. Another represents a person who travels with New York’s mayor during the day and returns to Long Island at night.
Yet another leaves a house in upstate New York at 7am and travels to a middle school 14 miles away, staying until late afternoon each school day. Only one person makes that trip: Lisa Magrin, 46, a math teacher. Her smartphone goes with her.
An app on the device gathered her location information, which was then sold without her knowledge. It recorded her whereabouts as often as every two seconds, according to a database of more than 1 million phones in the New York area that was reviewed by The New York Times. While Magrin’s identity was not disclosed in those records, The Times was able to easily connect her to that dot.
The app tracked her as she went to a Weight Watchers meeting and to her dermatologist’s office. It followed her hiking and staying at her ex-boyfriend’s home, information she found disturbing. “It’s the thought of people finding out those intimate details that you don’t want people to know,” said Magrin, who allowed The Times to review her location data.
Like many consumers, Magrin knew apps could track people’s movements. But as smartphones have become ubiquitous and technology more accurate, an industry of snooping on people’s daily habits has spread and grown more intrusive.
At least 75 companies receive anonymous, precise location data from apps whose users enable location services to get local news and weather or other information, The Times found. The database reviewed by The Times — a sample of information gathered in 2017 and held by one company — reveals people’s travels in startling detail, accurate to within a few yards and in some cases updated more than 14,000 times a day.
These companies sell, use or analyze the data to cater to advertisers, retail outlets and even hedge funds. It is a hot market, with sales of location-targeted advertising reaching an estimated $21 billion this year. IBM has gotten into the industry, with its purchase of the Weather Channel’s apps.
Businesses say their interest is in the patterns, not the identities, that the data reveals about consumers. They note that the information apps collect is tied not to someone’s name or phone number but to a unique ID. But those with access to the raw data — including employees or clients — could still identify a person without consent. They could follow someone they knew, by pinpointing a phone that regularly spent time at that person’s home address. Or, working in reverse, they could attach a name to an anonymous dot, by seeing where the device spent nights and using public records to figure out who lived there.
Many location companies say that when phone users enable location services, their data is fair game. But, The Times found, the explanations people see when prompted to give permission are often incomplete or misleading. An app may tell users that granting access to their location will help them get traffic information, but not mention that the data will be shared and sold. That disclosure is often buried in a vague privacy policy. READ MORE

The Cultural Affairs Committee In New York City Have Called For The Immediate Removal Of Statues Of George Washington For Reparations Task Force
Money should be found to remove statues of America’s founding fathers like George Washington in New York City as a ‘Reparations Task Force’ committee is created
America is being hollowed out, eaten away on the inside by forces conspiring against her just as we first told you when Now The End Begins first started back in 2009. We wrote that “for generations the Bible has warned of the coming End of Days, and you are now living in that time. America, a nation raised up by the Hand of God to spread the gospel and to be a beacon of Freedom for people around the world is about to be forever silenced by those sworn to protect her – her leaders.” What we told you was coming then is now almost complete here in 2023.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
Our Founding Fathers were far from perfect men, they all had their faults and flaws. But God used them to create a nation around the King James Bible that is nearly as unique on Earth as the nation of Israel is. No other nation in modern times has been as lauded and as celebrated as America, and rightly so. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and all the others we remember to this day for the amazing work that they started which is still in effect 247 years later. But this is what the enemies of America hate, they hate our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and the men who put pen to ink to birth it all.
For 14 years now, we’ve been warning you that America is being removed brick by brick, and right now we are about out of bricks.
New York City threatens statues of Washington, Columbus and Jefferson over slavery links and mulls reparations task force
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The city’s Cultural Affairs Committee has demanded the eviction of George Washington and Christopher Columbus and others from public spaces because of links to slavery, along with the establishment of a reparations task force. The plans before the city council on Tuesday come after Mayor Eric Adams warned that New Yorkers face a ‘financial tsunami’ from the cost of providing for more than 10,000 new migrants a month.
But they have prompted fury as the city scratches around for resources with libraries, meals for senior citizens and childcare all now at risk. ‘This is little more than an attempt by the radical left to rewrite our nation’s history,’ said City Councilor Joann Ariola.
‘The Founding Fathers and the others who worked so hard to establish this great country should be celebrated, not eliminated from memory.’
The Committee plans to remove any public statue or work of art that ‘depicts a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity’. Dozens of prominent statues across the city are at risk including those depicting Thomas Jefferson and former governor Peter Stuyvesant.
Anti-racism training would be introduced for contractors and city employees, and a task force would ‘consider the impact of slavery and past injustices for African Americans in New York City and reparations for such injustices’.
‘Explanatory plaques’ would be installed next to any statue not removed and on schools named after them.
Meanwhile an injunction was filed overnight against the Mayor’s plans to set up a shelter for migrants at the historic Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. More than 110,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city since the Spring of 2022 with New Yorkers paying an average of $385 a night per migrant family.
Mayor Adams has pleaded for federal help in footing the bill and lashed out at Greg Abbott as a ‘madman’ after the Texas governor bussed thousands from his state. READ MORE

Social Media Reveals The Demonic Spirit Of Violence Openly At Work As The World Continues To Prepare Itself To Meet The Coming Antichrist
The New Hampshire father of two who died after an incident at Gillette Stadium during the New England Patriots game Sunday had been punched in the face and knocked unconscious by a Miami Dolphins fan, as the spirit of Antichrist rises
A few weeks ago, we wrapped up our 5-part series on the Mark of the Beast, and in the 5th installment we showed you how the spirit of Antichrist is already alive and working in these closing moments of the Church Age. What does it look like? It looks exactly like a violent fight at a football game that results in the beating death of a man while his wife helplessly looks on. This happened during the Sunday night football game at Patriots stadium.
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 (KJB)
Spend 5 minutes on social media, and you will see video after video taken in cities all across America showing violent attacks and beatdowns at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, shopping centers and school hallways. Life was not like this when I was younger, it was not like this 10 years ago. But ever since the events which began in 2020 started, there is an obvious and undeniable spirit of evil that is ever rising and persistent.
Patriots fan dies after getting punched ‘in the face’ by Dolphins supporter at Gillette Stadium: witness
FROM THE NY POST: Dale Mooney, 53, was treated at the scene by EMTs and rushed to a hospital after what had been described as an “apparent medical event,” but was pronounced dead shortly before midnight. A spectator has now claimed that he witnessed a physical altercation between Mooney and a Dolphins fan.

“The Dolphins fan walks over and clearly punches him in the face,” Joey Kilmartin, of Nashua, New Hampshire, told MassLive. “(He) gets knocked out and you can tell right away he’s not OK.”
Kilmartin told the news outlet that Mooney also had gotten into a physical confrontation with other fans toward the end of the fourth quarter. He said Mooney never regained consciousness after being punched and that the EMTs performed CPR on him before rushing him to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro.
Mooney’s wife, Lisa, said she feels “numb” and is seeking answers about the tragedy.
“I want to know what happened. What caused this?” she told WCVB. “I just don’t understand why people have to go to that extreme. Why can’t it just be fun? That’s all it’s supposed to be — a fun family event.” READ MORE

The Sustainable Development Goals Summit At The United Nations Today Discussing Mandatory Vaccinations, Digital ID And Sustainable Cities
In 2015, more than 190 world leaders committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to help us all end extreme poverty, fight inequality & injustice, and fix climate change. Bible believers call this the New World Order.
If have haven’t listened to our Podcast today where we told you about a 2003 book called ‘The 2030 Spike’ and why it’s in the library at the CIA, you really should go and listen to it. To say it’s a ‘eye-opener’ would be a severe understatement. One of the things we told you about is the meeting taking place today and tomorrow at the UN called the SDG Summit, which we warned you about back in July. The ‘sustainable development goals’ of the United Nations sound like a good thing, but upon closer inspection, they herald the New World Order.
“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)
Among the many SDG’s the UN is fomenting upon us, we have gender equality, global vaccinations, and of course, digital ID not just for you but for the entire family. Top of the list is the ‘sustainable cities’ mandate which is already underway in a pilot program in 14 American cities right now. It’s all about restricting our movement, confining us in 15-minute cities which is all part of the coming kingdom of Antichrist. The Sustainable Development Goals were developed in 2015, with a target date of 2030 for completion. Things are nearly in place.
The SDG Summit is happening now at the United Nations in New York City
FROM THE UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations will convene the SDG Summit on 18-19 September 2023 at its Headquarters in New York, during the General Assembly high-level week. With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at midpoint, world leaders will carry out a comprehensive review of the state of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), respond to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises facing the world, and provide high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions towards the target year of 2030.

— Spiro (@Spiro_Ghost) September 18, 2023
But the Agenda is a promise, not a guarantee. At the halftime mark, the promise is in deep peril. For the first time in decades, development progress is reversing under the combined impacts of climate disasters, conflict, economic downturn and lingering COVID-19 effects. The SDG Summit serves as a rallying cry to recharge momentum, for world leaders to come together, to reflect on where we stand and resolve to do more. It is a moment to recommit to a vision of the future that ensures no one is left behind. Fundamental shifts in commitment, solidarity, financing and action must put us back on track to end poverty, realize just societies and reset a balanced relationship with the natural world. READ MORE
