Furthermore, Freeh is arguing BOTH SIDES of the issue when he complains "DRUG LORDS ARE NOW SUPPORTED BY THE BEST TECHNOLOGY MONEY CAN BUY", AND THEN SAYS we need Key Recovery so we can read their traffic! Even the NSA is talking Doublethink at us: * NYT: Stuart A. Baker, General Counsel for the NSA, explained why crooks * and terrorists who are smart enough to use data encryption would be stupid * enough to choose the U.S. Government's compromised data encryption * standard: * * "You shouldn't overestimate the I.Q. of crooks." ...which is also apparently their view of the American public. WE ARE NOW AT AN HISTORICAL CROSSROAD ON THE ENCRYPTION ISSUE. IF PUBLIC POLICY MAKERS ACT WISELY, THE SAFETY OF ALL AMERICANS WILL BE ENHANCED FOR DECADES TO COME. [1984 Newspeak:] BUT IF NARROW INTERESTS PREVAIL, LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL BE UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF PROTECTION THAT PEOPLE IN A DEMOCRACY PROPERLY EXPECT AND DESERVE. ANY SOLUTION THAT IGNORES THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS RISK GRAVE HARM TO BOTH. And what was a critical public safety and national security item the FBI insisted on in the first version of CALEA? They wanted all cellular phones to continually monitor the location of the owner, EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE. Every cellular phone would become a location tracking monitor for the government. And why would this be a critical public safety and national security item? Because: The NSA/FBI are raving rabid frothing-at-the-mouth lying looneys. I hope you understand that by now. * "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 19
From: Christian Siebert on 18 Apr 2008 19:29 " By Mike Frost [NSA trained sigint person] and Michel Gratton, Toronto Doubleday 1994. Mr. Frost describes missions in the U.S. where he was trained by the NSA to handle domestic jobs that would be illegal for the NSA. These books are quite damning, in a heavily documented way. This is an AMAZINGLY COMPREHENSIVE BOOK: buy it! "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996 Buy this book: "The Secret War Against the Jews", Authors: John Loftus and Mark Aarons, ISBN 0-312-11057-X, 1994. Don't let the title throw you: the authors spoke with a great many intelligence people, and cleverly probed NSA/CIA/FBI by submitting items for publication approval, and when they censored something... Bingo. Because of the Catch-22 situation, the NSA gave up trying to censor many books, since it can be used to confirm questions they would otherwise have refused to answer. The other books referenced within are also suggested reading. I have sometimes edited for brevity the excerpts, especially my newspaper clippings of stories flying by.

ordered a nationwide # salary freeze to combat inflation, the Federal Reserve Board has # manipulated interest rates so that approximately 5 to 6 million people # are purposely kept unemployed at any given time. What??? You mean the government purposely keeps millions and millions and millions of people unemployed at any given time, yet put time limits on welfare? I don't recall hearing that in the public debate. Question: What will poor people who can't get jobs do when their welfare runs out? Keeping in mind that the government purposely keeps approximately 5 to 6 million people unemployed. Answer: Increasing crime, increasing tension and conflict with police departments, some rioting, and politicians banging the Drum of War to take stronger police and monitoring actions. "Law & Order" Stronger police action mainly against black people. ---- This monitoring discrimination of blacks is demonstratedly nationwide. Therefore, it is also a smoking gun for arguing for retention of affirmative action programs. You don't really think it's just law enforcement, do you? ---- : "Lock 'em Up", The Washington Post, 5/19/96 : : Harvard economist Richard Freeman thinks it's ironic that proportionally : more people are in jail in the Land of the Free than in any other nation : on Earth. The U.S.A. has FIVE TIMES the incarceration rate as the United : Kingdom, Germany or France. : : Freeman says that prison is emerging as America's answer to the "reduced : demand for less-skilled male workers." European countries deal with unem- : ployable guys by putting them on the dole, he says. : : In this country, we throw them in jail after they commit a crime to survive. ---- |
