Shoot-to-kill. Sniper team. Military fatigues. A terrorizing organization: how else to explain the cruel cruel taunting. A terrorist organization by virtue of shoot-to-kill orders. ---- Waco. Gun charges. The deaths of all those people were 80% the fault of the government. I say that even though I believe the Koreshians set the fire. You'd go mad too after screaming dying rabbits are blasted into your dreams every night, and in the end were attacked by five hours of toxic tear gas. You would literally be trapped in hell with the devil pointing guns at you. Some of the reasons for 30% of the blame: o The mandatory documentation of the raid plan was never distributed. o The warrant they were to serve was also left behind. "We don't need no stinkin' warrants" o It is well-documented that David Koresh had left the complex many times while under the surveillance of as many as eight A.T.F. agents. o The F.B.I. cut off all utilities and sanitation. Government loudspeakers blared nonstop with such sounds as jet planes, and the cries of rabbits being slaughtered.

I have a vague impression of a lot of squiggly lines, suitable for a really bad coloring book. I also purchased a variety of odd privacy-related publications from Eden Press. What is the Official Federal Dangerous Book List? What books did they check on for their 'Library Awareness Program'? How was it determined these books made people dangerous? Who approved this Fahrenheit 451 persecuted-for-books program? The Thought Police had testified in court against Ed Cummings. The judge rules on whether Ed is guilty of probation violation: > The judge determined that a probation violation had indeed taken place > and that Cummings should be held and a sentencing date scheduled within > 60 days.

NSA's spying operations are so massive and all encompassing, and the maintenance burden for interfacing to all the latest equipment now so high, that they have had to come out in the open and lie lie lie to get CALEA.

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?
