RIOT Surveillance Software Tracks People’s Movements & Predicts Future Behavior
by Susanne Posel Occupy Corporatism February 12, 2013

Raytheon “is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world.” The corporation provides “state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services.”

The latest surveillance tool developed by Raytheon is called Rapid Information Overlay Technology (RIOT) which is “capable of tracking people’s movements and predicting future behavior by mining data from social networking websites.”

Jared Adams, spokesman for Raytheon’s intelligence and information systems department, stated: “RIOT is a big data analytics system design we are working on with industry, national labs and commercial partners to help turn massive amounts of data into useable information to help meet our nation’s rapidly changing security needs. Its innovative privacy features are the most robust that we’re aware of, enabling the sharing and analysis of data without personally identifiable information [such as social security numbers, bank or other financial account information] being disclosed.”

In 2010, as part of a research initiative, RIOT was being tested by the US government and industry partners to create a national security system that would analyze “trillions of entities” on the internet.

Steve Hawkins, vice president of information security solutions at Raytheon said: “Analytics is the key to outmaneuvering our adversaries in the face of the staggering volume, variety and velocity of information in cyberspace.”

RIOT will create a profile on any individual based on information inputted into social media sites and could be used to anticipate how that particular person will act in the future.
Using location analysis of photographs posted by users, Brian Urch, principle investigator for Raytheon, says that a precise longitude and latitude can be deciphered because those coordinates are embedded by smartphones within “exif header data.”

By displaying a spider diagram, an individual’s associations and “relationships” that are connected to through information provided by Facebook and Twitter, data is mined by RIOT and translated into graph form for easy tracking.

Because social media sites are not forth-coming about what data they share with federal government and law enforcement agencies, Ginger McCall, attorney for the Electronic Privacy Information Center explains: “Users may be posting information that they believe will be viewed only by their friends, but instead, it is being viewed by government officials or pulled in by data collection services like the RIOT search.”

zig zag and feed them counter intelligence. manipulate the manipulator!

Human behavior has been studied for hundreds of years. If you don't like it, just manipulate the data they gather on you.


They are living under the premise that human nature is predictable, throw them curveballs.

To think that they have not been tracking you for a while is a bit niave, we have had GPS units on phones for years. Most people willingly subject themselves to this in participating in social media or owning a smartphone. You have had data gathered on you since the day you were born. You go into a store they are gathering data in order to supply their consumer base better. They study traffic flow in order to make roads more efficient.


Just as an experiment go into your local store and start getting specific items in bulk at the same store over a period of time. See if you can mess with their supply chain. (make sure to keep a count on the items in the store every time you go, so you can watch the shift) The shift might also be in price so watch the prices also (especially if it is a local store and not a chain retailer) When they adapt to the shift in the demand stop buying the item.


If their sample is contaminated on a large scale they will have done all of this in vain.

Then again, maybe im just a huge troll.

Marketers and political campaigns have been collecting information based on demographics (age, income, martal status) for at least 80 years. This became a lot easier for the Federal government once they started collecting income taxes and later capital gains taxes. IMHO this information has been at least as valuable as the taxes they've collected.

Then about 40 years ago corporations and the government began measuring psychographics (personality, attitudes interests etc). Terms like "baby boomers" or "yuppies" actually arose from a mixture demographic and pyschographic descripters as do "soccor moms" and "NASCAR dads." Cell phones and the internet weren't merely a revolutionary way for individuals to access and transmit information, but a made-to-order platform for gleaning untold amounts of data about individuals that is willingly provided. And of course the new health care law will give them access to our health (and psychological) records. Add in the inevitable behavior and trend analysis (which they've also been doing for about 30 years) and you have RIOT.

Can this technology be used to predict threats without gathering data on an individual basis? I suppose. But I believe it is also a turn-key system for putting together an extremely specific file on anybody in the developed world, complete with psychological profile, future behavior predictions and potential threat analysis. You can try to spoof this system if you like but this technology is likely sophisticated enough recognize such attempts and then simply add them to your profile as "behavior." My advice on avoiding notice? Be as normal as much as possible and blend into the background. * And finally never, ever date the ex-wife or girlfriend of a sociopathic government employee who has access to this technology .

*. . .and for those who are interested, that last line is Theo's Law #31.
