From: Pubkeybreaker on 18 Apr 2008 20:27 Such an outdoor array * of surveillance devices planted near the Mulberry Street headquarters * of John Gotti, for example, was an important weapon on the FBI's long * and eventually successful investigation of one of New York City's most * arrogant Mafia bosses. Jeez, that sounds like plenty of electronic surveillance spy-power to me! How about you? The FBI has since come up with a briefcase with a 'targetable array of microphones' to pick up conversations outside at a long distance. * "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996 * * The leading lobbyist for CALEA was Louis Freeh, the aggressive new * director of the FBI. The government's most important investigative * tool, Freeh said, was "wiretapping, court-authorized wiretapping." * * Unless remedial steps were taken, he continued, "the country will * be unable to protect itself from terrorism, violent crime, drug * trafficking, espionage, kidnapping and other grave crimes." * * But is Freeh's frightening vision true? * * In fact, at the same time the FBI was telling Congress and the public * that the new technologies were already preventing them from conducting * essential wiretaps, senior FBI officials from cities across the United * States were telling FBI headquarters in Washington THE EXACT OPPOSITE. * We know this because...[buy the book! Burnham is an American hero.] Additionally, the FBI/NSA has briefcase-sized devices that can be attached to any digital telephone company transmission line, and can monitor many conversations simultaneously. # "The FBI's Latest Idea: Make Wiretapping Easier" # By Anthony Ramirez, The New York Times, April 19, 1992 # # One telecommunications equipment manufacturer said
From: Gerry Myerson on 18 Apr 2008 20:52 for several decades now. Politicians constantly beating the drums of war ('1984': The Song of Hate), causing the erroneous public perception crime is out of control. Anyone remember the scare ads that got crooked Nixon elected over Humphrey? This constant 1984 state of war has caused massive damage to our country. Picture what life would be like without the constant hysteria. If you can. It's been so long. You are sitting back on your porch, sipping a cold one, smoking a warm one, whatever. Relaxed, calm, at peace. You home was still your castle. Peace. Then, during one single day in Congress: o All Americans must allow companies to withdraw fluids from their bodies to check for drugs. Nevermind that that would be a dire last resort and that dignified non-invasive techniques are available for safety-related jobs. o Libraries are checked to see if you are looking at the wrong kind of books. Read the wrong book and the government will call you a 'potential terrorist' in court. o Studies on the feasibility of monitoring all bank transactions in real-time are ordered. ("So we can compute FDIC insurance requirements in real-time") Recommendation to proceed is given by law enforcement. o Loss of rights if you are receiving government benefits: - public housing ordered searched without warrants by the president [A DIRECT VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION!] - suspicionless searches of cars (NJ, for example) - no California driver's license without fingerprinting, eventually all U.S. citizens are fingerprinted - no welfare benefits (NY for example) without fingerprinting - illegal

It was that simple. "We did not know the complex was on fire at first, but we started smelling smoke. We didn't know what to do. We were afraid that if we came out of the building, we would be shot. All of a sudden, the smoke came. I couldn't see my husband any more." After the whole thing was over, the BATF raised its own flag over the ruins. Burn baby burn. 80 men, woman and children. The official FBI fire plan [their own C-SPAN testimony], which they followed, was letting them burn. Janet "Barbecue" Reno. Who testified she would do nothing different again. You want to take "responsibility" for it: then resign. Law enforcement gun hysteria. Like a scene from a nightmarish movie [such as Terry Gilliam's Brazil] the Feds, while poking holes in the building with a tank snout and spraying dangerous amounts of toxic tear gas, and while knocking down extended areas of the compound (as shown and commented on by ABC news) with another tank in the rear, blared 1984 Newspeak over loudspeakers at the hapless victims: "THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK. REPEAT THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK." ***************************************

UNCRACKABLE ENCRYPTION WILL ALLOW DRUG LORDS, TERRORISTS, AND EVEN VIOLENT GANGS TO COMMUNICATE WITH IMPUNITY. OTHER THAN SOME KIND OF KEY RECOVERY SYSTEM, THERE IS NO TECHNICAL SOLUTION. * And this false diagnosis is on purpose. * * When Louis Freeh told the National Press Club that homicides have almost * tripled since 1960, his audience had to have been disturbed. Freeh's * picture of a grim, seemingly inevitable upward surge in what has always * been considered among the most heinous crimes is indeed a frightening * prospect. * * But once again, like a car salesman trying to make his monthly quota, * Freeh pushes too hard. First of all, his claim that there are now * nearly three times more homicides than in 1960 ignored the important * fact that the nation's population grew substantially during that period. * * When this factor is taken into account, the picture still looks bad, but * not quite as bad as Freeh suggested.

[ : ftp ftp.fourmilab.ch, cd /pub/kelvin/documents, get unicard.doc For more than a decade, the United States Internal Revenue Service has allowed taxpayers with only regular wage income and the standard deduction to simply sign their return and have the IRS calculate the tax. With increased reporting of all financial transactions to the IRS by banks, stockbrokers, mutual funds, real estate title companies, etc., IRS officials have stated on several occasions over the last few years that the day when the overwhelming number of taxpayers could have their taxes calculated automatically was not very far in the future. ] * Again, telling people to get a "social security" number was * about CONTROL, not "protecting" us.
