With the recent arrest of the accused murderer of four Idaho University students, it is a warning to all, yet again, that big brother is watching. Big brother is working hand n' hand with private business not unlike we have seen with Fascists governments - Past & present.
It appears that one of the tools that law enforcement used was DNA samples obtained from a public data bases.
"On Friday, police finally arrested a suspect in the savage stabbing and murder of four University of Idaho students in November. According to law enforcement, 28-year-old criminology graduate student Bryan Christopher Kohberger was identified through DNA sourced from a public genealogy database. Kohberger?s arrest is a relief to Americans across the country, particularly the victims? families and the traumatized Moscow, Idaho community. However, it is also a reminder that DNA technology is a dangerously unaddressed issue that poses a threat to personal freedoms, privacy, and safety." - theFEDERALIST
Over the years, I have marveled at the narcistic desire of folks to know where they came from. I know that I am Scottish and German. I know that because my grand parents told me. In reality though, I am American, which is what really matters.
23andme, along with other DNA testing sites, have never satisfied my belief that they are just a "honey pot" for business and government collusion. Business to sell your information and helping government to watch you. I shared with the UP readership a post on Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu vision of the future titled,

To a lesser degree, it is apparent that the suspected murderer was followed across the country through cell phone tracking. Now, we have know about this surveillance technique yet people still will not divorce themselves from their tracking devise.
Pretty much, I do not take my cell phone with me anymore. When traveling long distances from home, I do take my phone; However, turned off and in an EMP bag only to be used for emergencies.
"But, but my wife is pregnant" he said. Well buy a burner phone with cash to only be used in an emergency or better yet, get a pager. Pagers are not trackable.
So there you go. You do have control over your life when it comes to giving precious bodily fluids to businesses and turning off your tracking devise.
