are bent on controlling the world to the point of there being
no crime left on the planet. Of course, democracy destroyed
is the direct result.

This publication advocates five major items:

o Passage of ProCode/SAFE legislation, allowing U.S. companies to
export unlimited strength cryptography, free from "Key Recovery".
Key Recovery means messages are no longer a secret, because the
Government has screwed around with it.

o Killing the CALEA legislation, which orders all communications
equipment be DESIGNED so the Government can spy on it.

o Dismantling domestic ECHELON, the Government listening in on our
domestic phone calls.

o A Cabinet-level U.S. Privacy Commission, with teeth.

The "average" American has no idea why cryptography is important to them.

It is the only way to begin preventing massive illegal domestic spying.

Currently, there are no restrictions on domestic use of unlimited strength
cryptography. That is not because the Government hasn't complained about
child pornographers or terrorists or other criminals who might use it.

No, that's the reason they are giving for why U.S. companies can't EXPORT
products, such as web browsers, outside U.S. territory, without compromising
it with Government "Key Recovery"; i.e. made stupider and breakable.

Why such an indirect control on what they claim is a domestic problem?

Because that is how 'The Creeping Police State' works.

Slowly, bit-by-bit.

Slowly, State-by-State everyone in the U.S. is being fingerprinted.

The FBI is now advocating biometric capture of all newborns too.

This is an interesting manifesto, please take the time to read it.

This section of the manifesto is about constantly beating the Drum of War...

* 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.

*
* 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 on crime and
* criminals.
*
* It helped Republicans win the presidency, and it also gave them the
* tool by which to control the Democratic majorities in Congress that
* might allow their opponents to label them as soft on crime.
*
* No Democrat, except those in overwhelmingly Democratic districts, could
* afford to cast any votes in Congress that might allow their opponents
* to label them soft on crime.

A constant state of law enforcement hysteria.


The absolute pinnacle of War terminology was the phrase "Zero Tolerance".

We will monitor and prosecute mercilessly with mandatory minimums because
letting even one criminal not be caught means you are soft on crime.
Everyone is potentially guilty. We need a Police State to combat crime.

# track your travel, monitor your vehicle emissions, determine if you have
# been drinking, and even issue you speeding tickets by mail! "Smart" cards
