“Citizen” crime tracking app is actually just Israeli Spytech
Of Course It Is…
It’s all Israeli/Russian Spy Tech.
Did you know Rumble is owned by “Russians” in Canada?
Did you know Telegram’s servers are in Dubai and are operated by “Russian” Intelligence?
Allegedly a Kremlin Op from day one.
Not exactly A “Grassroots”, “Free Speech” Alt Tech is it?
Kinda like Gab…
It’s really just the foreign version of your Data Collection.
Which is why the Q-Anon crowd migrated there…
Because they never listen to real intelligence and are jumping on the Space Aliens bandwagon now
Imagine if the North Koreans were allowed to do this…

Move over, Nextdoor- there’s a new neighborhood safety on the block! It’s hardcore! It’s all about crime! And it’s definitely not feeding your location, post, and emotional response data into a technological leviathan with octopus-like tendrils into all facets of surveillance technology.
Actually, that’s exactly what is happening.
Citizen made headlines in early June for reportedly scrapping their on-demand “private law enforcement” pilot program it had been testing in the greater Los Angeles area.
Formerly known as Vigilante before a 2017 rebrand, Citizen bills itself as “a personal safety network that empowers you to protect yourself and the people and places you care about,” in order to “connect and live more safely.”
Like other neighborhood watch apps- such as Nextdoor and Ring Neighbors- Citizen allows users to submit photos, videos, and text descriptions of safety incidents in their communities.
The app differentiates itself by promising updates in real-time. This information is obtained two ways: users can live stream incidents in progress, while the app also scrubs local police scanners to build incident reports and provide live updates.
Built, run, and owned by a team without ulterior motives, an app like Citizen could be a powerful tool to help Americans stay apprised of dangerous situations in their communities. Unfortunately, the real danger with Citizen isn’t the content it displays- it’s the app itself.
Sequoia Capital
Since 2017, Citizen has been partnered with very Californian-sounding Sequoia Capital.
Sequoia Capital is a private equity firm with offices in Herzliya, Israel. Many of the firm’s partners are Israeli natives, including Gili Raanan, a veteran of Israel’s Unit 8200 cyber warfare division.
Citizen’s partnership with Sequoia is managed by Mike Vernal, a former Facebook VP who was responsible for Facebook Login, Open Graph, and Facebook’s transition from desktop to mobile.
Vernal’s portfolio at Sequoia includes:
- Whisper, a “smart hearing aid” company that listens in on users’ conversations, transmits data through its server, and uses a “sound separation engine” to “optimize sound in real-time.”
- Aqaurium, an AI-based modeling and forecasting system designed to “learn over time.” Targeted at small businesses.
- Blues Wireless, an RFID company that can “add wireless connectivity to any product.” Users can transmit data, which passes through the cloud, to the end device. Use cases include geographic tracking, remote monitoring, and remote control.
- Canvas, an HR tool that helps companies “hire diverse teams” and “source underrepresented talent.”
- Verkada, cloud-based video monitoring for offices.
Sequoia is also partnered with cybersecurity firm FireEye.
FireEye stated that they first identified the compromise of SolarWinds after the version of the Orion software they were using contained a back door that was used to gain access to its “red team” suite of hacking tools.
FireEye’s account can be taken with a grain of salt, however, as the CIA is one of FireEye’s clients, and FireEye was launched with funding from the CIA’s venture capital arm In-Q-tel. It is also worth being skeptical of the “free tool” FireEye has made available in the hack’s aftermath for “spotting and keeping suspected Russians out of systems.”
Oracle, which operates an Israeli cloud computing facility, is also a Sequoia partner.
Presumption of Anonymity
Citizen’s connections with a wide web of surveillance technology providers are not openly presented to its users. Citizen bills itself as a more hardcore, crime-focused alternative to Nextdoor or Ring Neighbors. Users are able to comment, share, and interact with user and AI-generated stories.
Neighborhood watch apps offer a presumption of anonymity that is not found on platforms like Facebook. Behind “neighbor” pseudonyms, users feel freer to express their concerns about crime and the racial characteristics of perpetrators- a phenomenon that has caused both Ring Neighbors and Nextdoor to adopt active anti-racism policies.
Citizen, too: as its popularity has grown, so have accusations that it facilitates racial bias. Unlike the other two platforms, Citizen has not adopted an active anti-racism strategy.
This presumption of anonymity is concerning given Citizen’s integration into the AI, machine-learning, surveillance-oriented Israeli spytech panopticon.

[…] “Citizen” crime tracking app is actually just Israeli Spytech […]
Meanwhile these apps amazingly don’t warn citizens of flash mobs or blantifa concentrations. An oversight I am sure.
I am sure they will have the bugs worked out shortly. Sometime between being forced to face the wall and the bulldozer I’m sure.
Of course, when all else fails…..it’s the JEEEEEEEEWS!
Fucking idiot.
Did you even read the article? It literally is…
When I write an article about Tik Tok being a Chinese Data mining operation will you post a spastic comment about “WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS… ITS THE CHINESE!” and then proceed to call me a Fucking Idiot?
You know that Tik Tok is run by the Chinese right?
I can write the article right now if you would like.
Detractors are easily found the world over under moist rocks. Please ignore them and continue your good work. Some of us truly appreciate your insights.
Appreciated. Though you should check the link out and send them the same regards. The author did all that work and research. I merely linked the site and cited the material.
You are 100% right, and I apologize. Just way too hair trigger sensitive these days. Again, my sincere apologies.
Out of curiosity, are you Jewish? If you are, your response is understandable.
If you are not, then you should re-evaluate your position in the context of history, especially if you are a Christian.
It’s not me saying they control the world, or want to control the world.
Jews say it themselves over and over again.

The Jews are anti Christian, anti Catholic, and working to subvert Jesus and Christianity around the world. They do this by promoting degeneracy, modernism, usury, and racial division.
Since the day the Jews rejected the cornerstone and crucified Jesus Christ, they have been at odds in attempting to destroy the church. They created a separate religion with the introduction of the Talmud. They may claim that they are the progeny of Abraham, but the day they rejected the new covenant, they separated themselves from the right to claim being God’s chosen people.
This will largely fall on deaf ears because everybody is terrified of being called an anti-Semite. Remember, you should only hate the ACTIONS of degeneracy, not the people. Don’t hate the Jews, but rather we should condemn their actions that oppose Gods divine law.
They also run the drugs in our schools using “Art Students” and the motorcycle gangs. Specifically, they run the Hell’s Angels. Who make most of their money running Ecstasy; Not Meth. Chabad Lubavith is the group responsible. And the FBI(as well as other intelligence agencies) knows this and has known this since at least the mid-1990’s.
Which is probably why they introduced that recently exposed fake Encrypted Communication network they introduced in Australia. Which I must say, is some damn fine work if my suspicions are correct.
Also, one other note, be very careful where you find any information regarding Jewish/Zionist/Russian influence. It is FULL of disinformation. It’s very hard to filter through the non-sense. These groups make hundreds of millions a month running the party drugs scene and they have no shortage of money and willing workers to manage their disinformation websites. Most of their information is admitted in pretty much any book that has won New York Times awards.
Read this book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Tale_of_Love_and_Darkness It’s EXCELLENT. Very Well Written and is absolutely full of factual information regarding the founding of Israel, who manages it, for what purpose, their opinion of the west(and the USA) and various other articles. It’s also quite humorous and entertaining. Amos Oz is possible one of the best linguists on earth. His command of language is really quite incredible.
It always goes back to the same group, the Kabbalists who call themselves Jews who worship a snake in a tree called ein soph who have taken control of the banks, internet, news media, government, etc., and set up Israel as their fiefdom as a non extradition country where those who are part of the club can flee to after they commit their crimes against humanity. They have infiltrated Christian seminaries using Zionism through the schofield bible teaching their pastors to preach to their parishioners that Israel can do no wrong and they are Gods chosen people even though they reject and have an atavistic hatred toward our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Those who you cannot criticize without fear of being shunned are truly those who are in control.
No worries, no harm, no foul. I don’t pop off because I understand that 5th generation warfare involves attacking one’s own group to motivate itself. As much as it pains me to write this, but the Israelis and many other nation states are funding the attacks on their own people to motivate them and keep their wits about them. Creating an insular and isolated culture that can be easily controlled.
Be ready for some major attacks against the Jewish community in the coming years. They are actively trying to recruit the best engineers, designers, cyber and aerospace minds and manufacturers to Israel so they can compete with Iran. Who has 12 times the population size. Or around 7 million to 85 million. And Israel NEEDS those technicians to manage the cyber and tech for the Belt and Road Initiative. Most likely these attacks will never even have occurred, or will have been allowed to happen despite intelligence that could have stopped it.
I must admit, it’s not a terrible idea… Similar to the same principles taught in self defense studies and martial arts courses. Written about by Machiavelli himself as the secret standard used by elites to control us. Possibly always has been since forever.
I would bet that a lot of these ‘Russians’ are Jews that emigrated from the Ukraine or perhaps from somewhere else in the former USSR. I have had the privilege of knowing a few of them over the years.
They are. 100%. And they still fly the Soviet flag in their houses and hang pictures of Che, Stalin, Trotsky, Lenin, and Mao in their houses. Right next to their photos of Netanyahu and Leon Blum.
Ask me how I know…
One of the ones that I know pretty well was on a first name basis with John McCain. He also knows some of the high ups in Ukraine and his wife’s grandfather was a Soviet general in WWII. I remember talking to him on the phone during the Crimea crisis in 2014 and he babbled on and on about how evil Russia is. I finally got a word in edgewise saying wait a minute, I don’t agree. And then Trump got elected, and he went ballistic. He posted on Facebook demanding that anyone who voted for Trump defriend themselves. I PMed him, and told him that I voted for Trump, whereupon he replied begging me to remain as a friend. That led to a four year long debate back and forth on Facebook. And yes, I am aware of NC Scout’s warnings regarding Facebook. But despite concerns, in the back of my mind, that speaking my mind to someone who might be in the know with some very powerful people might be unwise, I did so anyway. Perhaps I shall be someday carted off. I already have a Brother in prison, and now a close cousin who is likely on his way. But one of the more notable things that I told Pasha was that I do not believe that Jews are God’s chosen people. Pasha’s reply was that as he doesn’t believe in God, he was in complete agreement with my choosen people viewpoint. A bit of humor in the whole affair. I haven’t talked to the guy since the election. One reason being that facebook changed its format. Another reason would perhaps be NC Scout’s warnings, but I think it might already be too late.
I first met Pasha when he was about 14 at a gym in late ’99 or early ’00. I knew he was a Russian Jew from the first moment I saw him, but I started talking to him and I wound up meeting his entire family. I taught him how to shoot, and he helped me with putting the engine for my Firebird back together after I grenaded it.
What did you mean, Kinda like Gab….in red?
Word on the street is that Gab is run by the Derp State. Old Stanley McCrystal (Or McMaster, my memory fails me sometimes). Regardless, it ain’t good. It’s a tool used to track and analyze patterns of life and network analysis (Networks of people, not cyberspace)
The “hack” they experienced was a back door left unlocked and wide open. And the description that Torba used to describe those responsible, The “Team of Devil Worshipping Computer Science Trannies” is literally a well known group of FBI sub-contractors in the D.C. area.
If you want to be a part of a social media type experience, you can join us on the forum and get the same oxytocin and dopamine hits. Plus we are much cooler and more interesting than Gab. Your data is protected and we constantly ban the bad-bots and fed posters.
We ban like 3-4 a day some days. We are actively working to protect you as much as we protect ourselves and our own family.

Is there anything out there anymore that can be used to comm-up with on a social basis? To get the word out and group up anymore. It seems to me the church social is the only way now…..
There are plenty of grass roots upstarts. The enemy makes them an offer they can’t refuse; Or one of the workers who is a programmer. It’s called a war for a reason…
Yeah, I’ve been teaching classes on it for a few years now.
