It's the 1990s now: Only, as we have seen, informants connecting to criminals means the FBI targeting Randy Weaver WHO HAD NO CRIMINAL RECORD for blackmail. Anyone can be made a criminal in the monitoring net. Or seduced into a "crime", like Qubilah Shabazz. Without you realizing it, the person you met was taking advantage of knowing all your most passionate likes and dislikes. It is INSANE to design our systems for government monitoring. CONGRESS WAKE UP NOW FOR CHRIS'SAKES!!! * "Dispute Arises Over Proposal for Wiretaps" * By John Markoff, The New York Times, February 15 1997 * * The telephone companies, after meeting with the FBI, said they wanted to * be able to monitor tens of thousands of conversations simultaneously in * metropolitan areas, much more than their stated intention of simply * trying to transfer its current surveillance capabilities into the * digital era. * * And the Cellular Telephone Industry Association said the FBI wanted to * monitor 103,190 cellular calls simultaneously nationwide. * * Lawyers for AT&T Wireless Services said, "The numbers alone are astounding." * * "This is kind of scary," said Tom Wheeler, CTIA president. "What does * the FBI know about our future that we don't?" ---- You cannot assign people one-to-one to control everyone in a society. But you can control society in a HIGHLY effective way using cybernetics, and do so COST EFFECTIVELY. That's one of the things CALEA is about, cost eff

The scope of Cybernetics is, in a word, awesome. A cyberneticist can talk from atoms to cells to nervous systems, to management of a company, country, world, solar system. Whether an organism is mechanical, biological or social, it requires a feedback mechanism to survive. Your nervous system does some amazing things to fight off infections. It creates custom anti-bodies to attack foreign microbes. Custom living cells created through a system of feedback to spot that there was a problem, analysis of the problem, action on the problem. This is a life-sustaining feedback 'homeostatic' loop. [bracket comments are mine] When Stafford Beer says Cyberstride needed to filter 'homeostatic loops': * "The 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.

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 be grim. Senator Frank Church, chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, referring to the NSA's SIGINT technology: At the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide. If the government ever became a tyran |
