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. These books are quite damning, in a heavily documented way. This is an AMAZINGLY COMPREHENSIVE BOOK: buy it! "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996 Buy this book: "The Secret War Against the Jews", Authors: John Loftus and Mark Aarons, ISBN 0-312-11057-X, 1994. Don't let the title throw you: the authors spoke with a great many intelligence people, and cleverly probed NSA/CIA/FBI by submitting items for publication approval, and when they censored something... Bingo. Because of the Catch-22 situation, the NSA gave up

From: Risto Lankinen on 18 Apr 2008 18:48 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, be authorized to lend its full support - analysts as well as computers - to "any department or agency" in the federal government and, "when lives are endangered," even to local police departments. [ Yea billions of dollars a year military SIGINT support technology... oh so invisible in its great mass. A total blurring of the lines between Military and civilian control of the domestic population. ] P475-477: Like an ever-widening sinkhole, the NSA's surveillance technology will continue to expand, quietly pulling in more and more communications and gradually eliminating more and more privacy. If there are defenses to such technotyranny, it would appear, at least from past experience, that they will not come from Congress. Rather, they will most likely come from academe and industry in the form of secure cryptographic applications to private and commercial telecommunications equipment. The same technology that is used against free speech can be used to protect it, for without protection the future may
