It is also about 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. ****************************************************************************** Part 1: Massive Domestic Spying via NSA ECHELON ---- - ------- -------- ------ --- --- ------- o The NSA Admits o Secret Court o Wild Conspiracy Theory o Over the Top o BAM-BAM-BAM o Australian ECHELON Spotted o New Zealand: Unhappy Campers 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 Part 3: 1984 Means a Constant State of War ---- - ---- ----- - -------- ----- -- -

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.

NSA testimony to Congress: "There is no law that prevents our domestic spying". Such is the unconstitutional power of the Presidential Magic Order.

[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.
