From: Pubkeybreaker on 18 Apr 2008 18:23 U.S. citizens' overseas telephone calls without a warrant: they approved the loss of our Fourth Amendment rights.

Just what is it going to take to restore the U.S. Constitution? Unlimited unregulated cryptography legislation is a beginning baby-step. Otherwise it might take another civil war.

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. Cryptography can be used to keep private: Internet traffic, such as email, and telephone conversations (PGP phone). A version of PGP phone that looks and works like a normal telephone --- but can't be spied upon --- would eventually become wide-spread. It begins to change the mind-set that the Police State is inevitable. ---- Major references... In the last several years intelligence operatives, specifically including SIGINT (signal intelligence) people, have started telling the story about the massive domestic use of computer monitoring software in the U.S. Including our domestic phone calls, Internet, fax, everything. I'm going to quote a number of articles and books; they involved talking to over 100 of these intelligence operatives. Buy this book: "Secret Power" by Nicky Hager, ISBN 0-908802-35-8. It describes in detail the ECHELON platform. It's one of the most important. New Zealand people are quite unhappy at their place within ECHELON. Buy this book: "Spyworld: Inside the Canadian and American Intelligence Establishments" 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. Thes |
