put in place to ensure current and new Salomon personnel are
made aware of the security issues of Internet transmissions for network
device configuration files. Suggest wide-spread distribution of a memo
concerning the problem. Perhaps place "no-Internet-transmission" comments
in all network config files. Standard warning issued to all new networkers.

Three transmissions of live passwords to three different Salomon routers
have been sent in cleartext over the Internet by Rock Transves nnn-nnnn
of Internet Client Services:

everyone in the U.S.A. being fingerprinted for a defacto national
ID card, about massive illegal domestic spying by the NSA, about
the Military being in control of key politicians, about always
being in a state of war, and about cybernetic control of society.

Human Use of Human Beings - Cybernetics and Society"
* by Norbert Wiener, 1954, pre-ISBN
*
* The process [such as that employed by our nervous system] by which we
* living beings resist the general stream of corruption and decay is
* known as homeostasis.

Stayin' alive, stayin' alive...

So, "statistical filtration for all homeostatic loops" means one is checking
on the health of the monitored system.

The cybernetician uses the same language for feedback of weapons systems
(picking out a submarine from the background noise of the ocean) as they
do for describing human life, as they do for the political organization
of a country.

Like I said, an awesome scope.

Norbert Wiener even came up with a physics-based
description of how life is formed by information.

Check it out. Hang in there too, it's worth it.

* The term 'entropy' began life as a subtle measure of energy flow.
*
* When something hotter is systemically bound to something cooler, the
* greater energy of the hotter stuff migrates---inexorably migrates---
* into the cooler stuff. This is one manifestation of the Second Law of
* Thermodynamics, which everyone of education has encountered.
*
* This is sometimes referred to as 'the universe is running down'.

Okay, 'entropy', yeah I remember that kinda. Keep going:

And presidents issue secret directives that obliterate constitutional rights.

Like the creation of the NSA.

NSA testimony to Congress: "There is no law that prevents our domestic spying".

Such is the unconstitutional power of the Presidential Magic Order.

It is even threatened to be used to wipe out Congressional legislation:

: However, President Clinton has threatened to veto ProCode.
: If Congress over-rides a VETO President Clinton signed an
: executive order (11/15/96) which states he can revoke any law

: "Upon enactment of any legislation reauthorizing the

their view of the American public.


WE ARE NOW AT AN HISTORICAL CROSSROAD ON THE ENCRYPTION ISSUE.

IF PUBLIC POLICY MAKERS ACT WISELY, THE SAFETY OF ALL AMERICANS WILL
BE ENHANCED FOR DECADES TO COME.

[1984 Newspeak:] BUT IF NARROW INTERESTS PREVAIL, LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL
BE UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF PROTECTION THAT PEOPLE IN A DEMOCRACY
PROPERLY EXPECT AND DESERVE. ANY SOLUTION THAT IGNORES THE PUBLIC SAFETY
AND NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS RISK GRAVE HARM TO BOTH.

And what was a critical public safety and national security
item the FBI insisted on in the first version of CALEA?

They wanted all cellular phones to continually monitor
the location of the owner, EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE.

Every cellular phone would become a location
tracking monitor for the government.

And why would this be a critical public safety and national security item?

Because:

The NSA/FBI are raving rabid frothing-at-the-mouth lying looneys.

I hope you understand that by now.

* A few months after his appointment as the new director of the Federal
* Bureau of Investigation, Louis J. Freeh delivered a speech at the National
* Press Club in Washington.
*
* More than two hundred Washington-based reporters, congressional staffers
* and interested lobbyists had come, and because the speech was carried by
* C-Span, National Public Radio and the Global Internet Computer Network,
* and would be the basis for articles in newspapers all over the United
* States, Freeh was also delivering his message to a much larger national
* and international audience.
*
* "The people of this country are fed up with crime," Freeh declared. "The
* media report it, the statistics support it, the polls prove it."
*
* To drive home his point and authenticate the national menace, Freeh said,
* "the rate of violent crime has increased 371 percen
