The CALEA bill was suddenly brought to a quick vote on the last day of Congress' session. Congress should be ashamed of itself. Have you NO IDEA what is at stake? We ARE at a crossroads. Passage of pro-crypto legislation is an important first step for backing away from the abyss of having every single aspect of our lives --- including our telephone calls --- monitored by computer for the UKUSA International Secret Government. Even the Prime Minister of New Zealand wasn't told about it. Even the director of the NSA wasn't told about it, until after a year [ Puzzle Palace, p333 ] of UKUSA deciding if he was "one of them". And, as documented in the books I've been referencing, when the director of the NSA knows about it and testifies before Congress, UKUSA not only lies about their activities, they also do so with impunity. A Secret Government? : The Puzzle Palace, Author James Bamford, 1983 revision, p206 : : Bypassing not only the Joint Chiefs but even the secretaries of the : branches of the armed forces, the NSCID devolves incredible authority : and responsibility on the NSA director, giving him, at least where : SIGINT is concerned, his own Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.

From: David Bernier on 18 Apr 2008 22:08 Secret Service: Vile Persecution of Ed Cummings ------ ------- ---- ----------- -- -- -------- Source material from http://www.2600.com, by someone calling themselves "Emmanuel Goldstein", which in the book '1984' was known as the Hated Enemy of the People. 2600, "The Hacker's Quarterly", is unhappy about what the Secret Service did to one of its correspondents, Ed Cummings. > The Secret Service has locked Ed Cummings up with violent criminals for > nearly a year, solely because of his possession of written material, > software, and bits of hardware. In other words, not much at all. First, some background: Ed Cummings was on probation for removing batteries from a tone dialer. > All of this stems from an incident years ago when Cummings and two > friends were being questioned by a Northampton County police officer. > > He had asked them about a tone dialer they had and, while he went into > another room, somebody removed the batteries from the dialer. They were > not under arrest and had not been instructed not to do this. However, > based on this, Cummings was charged with "tampering with evidence" even > though there was no proof that he had been the one to do it. Cummings > refused to say who did and pleaded no contest. He was fined and that > should have been the end of it. Then it happened, in March 1995: A Haverford Township Police officer arrested Ed Cummings. His crime? Talking with African Americans in a parking lot. A heavily monitored group... The *sole* reason Ed Cummings was targeted was because he was talking to black people. What was he arrested for? Suspicion of drug dealing. (I'm guessing here.) Did he have any drugs? None. How do you arrest someone for drugs when they don't have any? I don't know. What did he have? Electronic components: crystals. No, not Starship Dilithium Crysta

the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - formalized with the UKUSA Security Agreement of 1948. Although the treaty has never been made public, it has become clear that it provided not only for a division of collecting tasks and sharing of the product, but for common guidelines for the classification and protection of the intelligence collected as well as for personnel security. P20 New Zealand Prime Minister Robert Muldoon, on June 12 1984, admitted the GCSB liaised closely with Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States - the closest the government has ever come to talking about the secret five-nation signals intelligence alliance of which the GCSB is part. P108 The New Zealand analysts have a high level of contact with the overseas agencies, including overseas staff training, postings and exchanges. In the early 1990s the GCSB began conducting its own training courses, teaching them the special procedures and regulations governing the production of signals intelligence reports for the UKUSA network. It is at these courses where the analysts are t |
