More on this later. ---- And what does a National ID Card with a Universal Biometric identifier mean? A number (that is: scanned fingerprint or iris) that cannot be faked.

A final element of the ECHELON system are facilities that tap directly into land-based telecommunications systems, completing a near total coverage of the world's communications. The microwave networks are made up of chains of microwave towers relaying messages from hilltop to hilltop (always within line of sight) across the countryside. These networks shunt large quantities of communications across a country. Intercepting them gives access to international underseas communications (once they surface) and to international communication trunk lines across continents. They are also an obvious target for large-scale interception of domestic communications. Of course, when the microwave route is across one of the UKUSA countries' territory it is much easier to arrange interception. P41 The ECHELON system has created an awesome spying capacit

For example, even though you can't dial most 900 numbers, you can still call numbers like USA Today's 1-900-555-5555, which are specifically chosen to get around the 900 programming restrictions.

Law Enforcement Hysteria, Propaganda and Lies: And that Drug War hysteria commercial about the train wreck by the engineer on pot? They can't quite bring themselves to tell you he had been drinking. And they still show this ad... * "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", by Jack Herer, 1992, ISBN 1-878125-00-1 * * In one ad, the wreckage of a train is shown. Now, everyone will agree * that no one should attempt to drive a train while high on marijuana. * But a man's voice says that anyone who tells you 'marijuana is harmless' * is lying, because his wife was killed in the train accident. * * This contradicts the direct sworn testimony of the engineer responsible * for that disaster; that "the accident was not caused by marijuana." It * deliberately ignores his admissions of drinking alcohol, snacking, * watching TV, generally failing to pay adequate attention to his job, * AND DELIBERATELY JAMMING THE TRAIN'S SAFETY EQUIPMENT prior to the * accident.
