From: Tim Smith on 18 Apr 2008 19:03 access to your cryptographic key. We know what Key Recovery means... By the way, the Government is restricting *communications* products, which use public key cryptography. BY DEFINITION the SENDER will NEVER expect to decrypt the traffic once they've encrypted it; that's the basis for public key cryptography. That's how it works mathematically. By design. So this "spare key" argument makes no sense whatsoever. I shudder to think that most Americans will not understand these admittedly technocratic basic details of computer systems and cryptography. If they knew, they would be STUNNED that our leaders would lie so boldly to us, including Mr. Kantor, to protect ECHELON. That the public would misunderstand Kantor and Clinton to think they are offering a "reasonable compromise"...even though what is actually happening is our government demanding you lose all right to privacy, that we must give the government a copy of our personal security key. ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** Part 6: Louis Freeh & The Creeping Police State ---- - ----- ----- --- -------- ------ ----- o Louis Freeh o National ID Card o Worldwide Banking and Phone Monitoring o Cybernetic Control of Society o Conclusions *******************************

The government's concern * was so overwhelming that in 1986 Congress was prevailed upon to add a * provision to the seizure law forbidding any "structuring" of financial * transactions in a way so as to evade and existing requirement that cash * transfers of more than $10,000 had to be reported to the government. [ The New York Times, April 13, 1997 U.S. Under Secretary Raymond W. Kelly signed an order on Aug 7th requiring New York businesses transmitting cash to report all transactions over $750. The order was not publicly announced. It is part of emergency powers. [President Clinton subsequently makes it permanent nationwide.] ---- NYC Mayor and former federal prosecutor Rudolph Giuliani has made some emphatic statements proposing $100 dollar bills be eliminated to combat drug dealers. Perhaps all cash will be next. ] * On November 11, 1993, apparently tipped off by a friendly bank clerk who * thought Alvarez's redeposits looked like "structuring", the Internal * Revenue Service seized $88,315.76, the life savings of a hard-working * immigrant. * * The government, of course, had no evidence that Alvarez was using the * money for improper purposes, or was in any way connected with drugs or * drug-dealing, for the simple reason that he wasn't doing any such thing. * * In this case, under the astonishing provisions of our nation's asset * forfeiture laws
From: Gerry Myerson on 18 Apr 2008 22:20 Alabama expects to issue about one million new drivers' licenses during * the first year of the program, with a projected growth of 10 percent a * year, Sandia said. The process will take a four-year cycle to supply all * Alabama drivers with the new license as they renew. The Sandia system * is replacing an 11 year-old system. Alabama is switching to the new * license production system to improve the quality and timeliness of * drivers' license issuance, and to reduce counterfeit procurement and * fraudulent alteration. * * The state's system, operated by the Alabama Department of Public Safety * (DPS), will consist of more than 100 issue sites and a central * production facility housing Sandia's in-line, one-pass production * printers.

Congress has lost it too. * The New York Times, undated * * The House is not expected to vote on the search-and-seizure bill until * at least Wednesday. But tonight the Republicans defeated a Democratic * amendment that SIMPLY REITERATED THE WORDS OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT OF * THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. * * The vote was 303 to 121. * * The Democrats were trying to portray the Republicans as wanting to * eliminate the constitutional protection against unlawful searches. * * Indeed, they cornered the Republicans into saying that the measure * containing the Fourth Amendment would gut the seizure bill. Just what is it going to take to restore the U.S. Constitution? Unlimited unregulated cryptography legislation is a beginning baby-step. Otherwise it might take another civil war. The NSA will not let go quietly. Sound over-the-top? Wait until you understand the massive surveillance system that our government has put in place, just how powerful it is, and how they've used it repeatedly to control lawful peaceful political protest. ****************************************************************************** ************************************
