From: tchow on 18 Apr 2008 20:50 you'll clamor for THEM to backup your key by giving them a copy of the key, and if you lose all of yours... contact the Federal Secretary of Lost Keys. And for this great benefit, they want you to give them Key Recovery 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 S
From: S.C.Sprong on 18 Apr 2008 19:59 foreign governments MIGHT * try to influence civil rights leaders in the United States. The list * of Americans monitored ballooned as political groups, celebrities and * ordinary citizens were added to the 'watch lists'. The NSA surveillance * was illegal and was instantly stopped [years later] when it appeared * that Congress might learn about the eavesdropping. Fear, loathing, suspicion and monitoring of civil rights movements. All it took was the thought that foreigners were influencing Americans. That's all it took to make the massive surveillance "legal". Of course, massive surveillance means more than just surveillance: * Main Justice, by Jim McGee and Brian Duffy, 1996, ISBN 0-684-81135-9 * * The FBI had been spying on members of the civil rights movement * to discredit Martin Luther King and destroy the civil rights * movement, government files showed. There had been burglaries * and illegal wiretapping on a grand scale. Even after FISA legislation, with its strict "minimization" requirement, CISPES & Co. happened. Sometimes their suspicion of terrorist/foreign agent activity is laughable. * "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996, short version * * It was just before April Fool's day, and Virginia Bernard thought the * caller was one of her friends pulling a practical joke.

From: Gerry Myerson on 18 Apr 2008 21:11 "We are troubled by the apparent * lack of a system to preserve such critical records." * * The Justice Department, in a March 18, 1993 memo stated, "the FBI's * intransigence appears to EMANATE from Larry Potts level OR ABOVE." Larry Potts was a buddy of Louis Freeh. Within the FBI, these special people are called "FOL" - Friends of Louie. [NYT 5/11/97] Janet Reno (who had veto power over the promotion) testified what happened at Ruby Ridge wasn't enough to cause her to veto the promotion, foreshadowing her actions at Waco. After two months, controversy (as opposed to events) over Potts' role in Ruby Ridge prompted Freeh to remove him from the position, to politically cover his own tush. Potts and four other top FBI officials have been suspended while a federal criminal probe investigates the destruction of documents related to the incident. A total of twelve agents were disciplined. None have yet been prosecuted. The Federal government subsequently named after a U.S. Marshal who was killed, but who also shot Randy Weaver's son dead in the back: a new Marshals training center.

New York Times, June 8 1997 (front page) * * In telephone conversations taped by Federal prosecutors, Ms. Shabazz * acknowledged she had psychological problems and had spent time at Bellevue. Her mother long asserted Mr. Farrakhan played a role in the death of her husband. Three members of Mr. Farrakhan's Nation of Islam were convicted. And just what was so extraordinarily vile about this case? Its purpose was to tear the black community apart. Mr. Farrakhan, no fool when it comes to manipulation, joined in her defense. And: Mr. Fitzpatrick had been a high school classmate of Qubilah Shabazz. In courting her lifetime of anger at Mr. Farrakhan, he also courted her. Love. "A vile and evil seducer," said William Kunstler to the court. He had proposed to her. * "Always the Violence", The New York Times, by Bob Herbert, June 9 1997 * * Percy Sutton, a close friend of the Shabazz family for more then three * decades, said "It was so sad.
