Instead, there is a super hush-hush surveillance court that is virtually impotent; the FISA, which has enough loopholes and exceptions to render it nearly useless; and an executive order that was designed more to protect the intelligence community from citizens than citizens from the agencies. In addition, because it is an executive order, it can be changed at any time at the whim of a President, without so much as a nod toward Congress. P471: On January 24, 1978, President Jimmy Carter issued an executive order imposing detailed restrictions on the nation's intelligence community. The order was designed to prevent the long list of abuses of the 1960s and 1970s. But four years later President Ronald Reagan scrapped the Carter order and broadened considerably the power of the spy agencies to operate domestically. P473: Under the Reagan executive order, the NSA can now, apparently,

Shortly after starting out, they were pulled over by police for a search. Not one, but two squad cars came to do the search. Because they crossed lanes while going through an intersection. If you are white, when was the last time two squad cars searched your vehicle inch-by-inch because you crossed lanes while passing through an intersection? Never happened to me. The police were recorded saying a container they found "probably had drugs" in it. It was a make-up container. [All you little people are probably guilty] When ABC asked the police chief later why they were pulled over, he said for crossing lanes while going through an intersection. ABC's cameras then showed cars doing that constantly at the same intersection. They said they counted hundreds the same night. The police chief then tacitly admitted they were pulling over black people on purpose. ---- [ Yes, I am aware of the cocaine/crack sentencing discrimination. ] Yo

There was no public discussion about it. And used sham laws: Executive Orders and Congressional legislation. To create a secret agency and a secret sham court. Used repeatedly to control lawful domestic political protest. The Soviet Union and China we were told to fear. ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** Part 2: On Monitoring and Being Monitored ---- - -- ---------- --- ----- --------- o On Monitoring - Driver's Seat - Five Months Statistics - The FBI Investigations - I Can See What You Are Thinking - Why I Monitor o On Being Monitored If you are an ordinary citizen, you may not notice the INVISIBLE massive spy apparatus until it is too late. As has already happened repeatedly: the government will use this National Spying Apparatus to crush political protests, and monitor the politically incorrect. In the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s... and the 1990s. Question: Why argue against something that would catch crime? Answer: ECHELON is so invasive we lose all privacy. It is infinitely abusable. It has been abused repeatedly. CALEA takes us into the abyss. Would monitoring really turn up that many violations? Meaning: is it really that effective a mechanism? **************************************************

And probably cheat to use ECHELON to direct this programmatic control, yielding no effective monitoring limit for domestic law-enforcement, and domestic political control. Law enforcement has absolutely no need for the Digital Telephony Act except to give them their own access terminals and PRETEND there is a firewall between what the Military is doing versus what the FBI is doing. Of course, to monitor phone calls at full capacity, the FBI will need to use Military surveillance software. We've come a long way from requiring a person to listen to the first minute of conversation to even decide whether the person could continue to monitor. It's a brave new world now. We're there.
