"We must significantly increase production * to reach our budget target...

From: Risto Lankinen on 18 Apr 2008 19:30 NSA's surveillance technology will continue to expand, quietly pulling in more and more communications and gradually eliminating more and more privacy. If there are defenses to such technotyranny, it would appear, at least from past experience, that they will not come from Congress. Rather, they will most likely come from academe and industry in the form of secure cryptographic applications to private and commercial telecommunications equipment. The same technology that is used against free speech can be used to protect it, for without protection the future may be grim. Senator Frank Church, chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, referring to the NSA's SIGINT technology: At the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide. If the government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence commun- ity has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back, because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology... I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper

have been for the NSA. In fact, the world's very first super * computer, the awe-inspiring CRAY, was built to specification for the * NSA, and installed in their headquarters in 1976. * * The entire twentieth century of development of computer technology has * been the result of the NSA's unquenchable thirst for ever bigger, ever * faster machines on which to collect, collate, and cross-reference data * on hundreds of millions of honest, law-abiding, and totally unsuspecting * individuals. And not only in America, but in many other countries as * well. Including, as we shall see, Australia. [ "The Rise of the Computer State", David Burnham, 1984 p134: ...the technical advances that were occurring did so not entirely by chance. The computers' ability to acquire, organize, store and retrieve huge amounts of data was an essential factor leading to the broad definition of intelligence that was fostered by the National Security Agency and its godfather, the National Security Council. Computer research was supported by NSA in a major way by secret research dollars. Thomas C. Reed, Director of the Pentagon's Telecommunications, Command and Control System, referring to domestic intercity telephone microwave radio trunks, said in 1975, "Modern computer techniques make it possible to sort through that traffic and find target conversations easily." p126-127: Since the wiretap law barred the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs from installing a tap on New York City's Grand Central Station pay phones, bureau head John Ingersoll asked the NSA for help. |
