as anything other than a hoax.

And how did the President, who said he was ‘intimately familiar’ with the
incident, come to believe that it was an [informer] tip about a possible
threat, and not an anonymous hoax threat?

The American people are not the only ones the NSA/FBI lie to…

Notice how secrecy keeps playing a major part in all this…June 28, 1996,
NYT, "Lawmaker Tells of High Cost of Keeping Secret Data Secret", the House
intelligence committee said, not even including the CIA, the U.S. spends
FIVE POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR (twice the annual combined budgets of
the FBI and DEA) on "a document classification system stuck on autopilot,
indiscriminately stamping ‘Top Secret’ on thousands of documents every year."

ECHELON generates 90% of those documents. Machines.

5/24/1992 The Washington Post Parade Magazine:
The Pentagon even labelled as not only SECRET but NOFORN—which means
they cannot even be shared with our allies—anti-American cartoons that

It is technology driving the capabilities, it is our government using
them ruthlessly: without letting us vote on it.

Never before could someone walk up to you and number you by scanning
your fingerprints. A number that is yours and yours alone.

You have been numbered for all time.

No ID card needed once portable fingerprint scanners are deployed all over!

If the government suddenly ordered all citizens to be numbered with an
indelible invisible ink on their arms so they were permanently numbered;
so law enforcement could scan them at will: there would be a revolt.

Yet that is what is happening.

Fingerprints, scanned into a computer, are a number.

The number is inescapably yours.

Modern technology means they don’t have to put the number on you, they can
read it off of you by minutely examining your body.

And: it is the NSA drivi

For the past two years on Wall Street, I have monitored
employee Internet email, using homegrown snarf code.

Monitored by keyword spotting software with keyword spotting exclusion logic.

I call this software: the Internet Risk Management Analytics.

The NSA calls theirs DICTIONARY.

The results of monitoring were stunning.

Absolutely stunning.

If you would like a full copy of the tail, email me with Subject line "Request
Monitoring Tale". It is in the form of a complaint against Salomon Brothers.

I went public with it after the five attempts to handle the problem internal
to Salomon failed, and then the SEC failed to even contact me about the
complaint.

Anyway, I take advantage of the screwed up situation to explain to you what
it means to be monitored by powerful keyword monitoring software.

All company names are real.

All people’s names in security incident reports are changed, as are any
proprietary data/numbers.

Any personal-personal traffic (the person’s own words with outside friends)
is changed so it is not the actual traffic that went across, but it will have
the same visceral-word impact as the original.

Well, isn’t that strange: the Secret Service taking a strong interest in
the probation violation hearing of Ed Cummings for taking batteries out
of a tone dialer.

Not only were they interested, they testified against him!

Answer:   Blinking.

Point:    They are almost not bothering to pretend.

Law enforcement hysteria.

The Miranda ruling by the 1966 Supreme Court requires the police inform
criminal suspects of their legal rights before questioning them.

It is classical poetry, even when recited by Dragnet’s Joe Friday.

This is a U.S.-centric message, but keep reading even if you are not in the
U.S.; British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand citizens are also directly
affected.

This message is about ECHELON, which is an unbelievably huge world-wide
spying apparatus, including the domestic phone calls of many countries.

United States citizens’ phone calls are being monitored in a dragnet
fashion not even George Orwell could have imagined.

This was all paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Built in secret. Not debated.

The CALEA legislation is a shameful takes-us-into-the-abyss domestic spy bill.
It is for the FBI to simultaneously monitor HUGE amounts of our phone calls.

And when the judiciary found out about NSA monitoring U.S. citizens’
overseas telephone calls without a warrant: they approved the loss
of our Fourth Amendment rights.

Giving Presidential Directives the same force of law as the Constitution.

Congress has lost it too.
