From: Rotwang on 18 Apr 2008 18:52 ADMINISTRATION COULD ACCOMPLISH TO PROTECT UNITED * STATES CITIZENS FROM CRIME. A constant state of war, for 'national security and national safety' reasons. The novel '1984', about oppressive government, contains three key features: o Massive surveillance mechanism o Constant state of War o Physical and psychological terror to control targeted individuals and groups The constant state of War is used by politicians to control us little people. As it was in the book 1984. Did you know the U.S. has been in a state of Drug War since the 1960s? This section of the manifesto is about constantly beating the Drum of War... * "1984", author George Orwell, 1949, ISBN 0-679-41739-7 * * Winston could not definitely remember a time when his country had not * been at war...war had literally been continuous, though strictly speaking * it had not always been the same war. * * The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil. * "Taking Control - Politics in the Information Age" * Authors Morely Winograd & Dudley Buffa, 1996, ISBN 0-8050-4489-2 * * From Richard Nixon's law and order campaign in 1968 to George Bush's * infamous Willie Horton ad in 1988, Republicans have attempted to define * their differences with Democrats by a no-nonsense position
From: Marshall on 18 Apr 2008 22:34 has poor judgement. Then your name is permanently filed under "possible terrorist". Weeks or even years later, you have a similar conversation and use the same words; the computer filters it out again. Since this is your second time, your name moves from the "possible" to the "probable" file. Sound absurd? Not at all; it actually happened while I was at CSE. [snip] SIGINT specialists are honing their skills at monitoring digital information. SIGINT agencies everywhere are increasingly throwing their surveillance web over the Internet and other data networks of interest. [snip] Mini-recap: o The countries sharing intelligence: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand o Massive domestic spying by the NSA, using an Orwellian "1984" technology to search all communications using computers, including domestic phone calls, via keyword searches. o Circumvention of domestic spy laws via friendly "foreign" agents ****************************************************************************** Wow. How chilling to think the military has set up a real-life domestic Orwellian spy apparatus. Used repeatedly for political purposes. ECHELON has almost no Military purpose left: Russia is practically part of NATO now. We must start dismantling ECHELON before it is too late. 6/3/97: Barnes & Noble informs me his book is no longer available, and that my order is cancelled.
From: Phil Carmody on 18 Apr 2008 19:54 no way to fight back, because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology... I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return. *** end of 'Puzzle Palace' excerpts. Wow. No recap necessary. I'm feeling a bit sick at this point, how about you? ****************************************************************************** Those of you who supported any version of the FBI/NSA Digital Telephony Act sold us down the river, making use of this Orwellian Military technology fully legal domestically for the first time.

Zero Tolerance victims, falling into the abyss.

The 1991 surveillance caught employees using : drugs, Sheraton said. Source: Senate Labor Committee on Employment, 6/93 If you strip us naked you will detect more crime, but also, you strip individuals naked without specific individuals being suspected of a crime. Dragnet monitoring should not be the American way. Unrestricted cryptography must be made legal now, so we are no longer naked to ECHELON monitoring.
