Question: How do you spy on 1,330 domestic groups?

Answer:   Electronically, using an existing domestic surveillance network.

         Just push the button marked 'monitor'.

         Your phone calls, bank transactions, credit card usage, health/
         credit/utility/law-enforcement/TRW/IRS records, your whole life.

         One big evil eye of Mordor.

         The Russian State we were told to fear.

                        ---- ---------- ------

This is an expanded version of a posting I made promoting unregulated
(free from government-has-the-key) cryptography.

Attorney John Loftus is the author of four histories of intelligence
operations. As a former prosecutor with the U.S. Justice Department's
Nazi-hunting unit, he had unprecedented access to top-secret CIA and
NATO archives. Mark Aarons is an investigative reporter and author of
several books on intelligence related issues.

One day I was flipping channels, and came across "The Leon Charney Show".

Attorney Charney was interviewing Attorney Loftus, who has many many
connections in the intelligence world.

Mr. Loftus described a room in NSA's Fort Meade that was actually British
soil (diplomatic territory), with a British guard posted outside...

My dad has been to Europe once: "I didn't have time to sight-see when
we hit the beaches though". He enlisted at 17, and was captured during
the Battle of the Bulge, which involved General Patton.

My dad said that when he saw fellow GIs in the German prison camp trading food
for tobacco and even adding wood shavings to extend it: that's when he decided
not to smoke.

I've always wondered which Senators were paid off to exempt billboards from
having their health warnings be the same proportion as those in magazine ads.
And how did they justify it?

Here is an example of our law enforcement's attitudes toward marijuana:

*   FBI Director William S. Sessions, questioned by the Senate Judiciary

*            According to promotional literature it is an

*            waves. A tiny microchip, the size of a grain of

NSA's spying operations are so massive and all encompassing, and the
maintenance burden for interfacing to all the latest equipment now so high,
that they have had to come out in the open and lie lie lie to get CALEA.

We need CALEA to prevent crime and catch terrorists like a hole in the head.

I really miss
   all the infrastructure mechanisms I took for granted at Salomon.

********** end excerpt from 'Corruption at Salomon Brothers' **********

That document was labelled as Salomon proprietary on each page.

The FBI got search warrants and went into Jefferies and took control of
a couple systems, and went home with the Ex-Salomon person and searched
there and took his computer systems. [The case is still pending @6/97]

The code is simple. It's choosing the keyword filtration sequence that's
tricky. I figured out how to determine it in an almost systemic way. Oddly
enough, I needed no keywords for specifically seeking out source code.

So, keyword monitoring is highly effective, I could even cover three feeds,
and, sigh, I should mention that it took well less than 5000 lines of
programming source code for me to implement it.

And I generated two FBI cases.

[
   Think of what could happen should the FBI get its implementation of
   the CALEA bill. They could go nuts, and say "see, that proves we need
   to monitor thousands of phone calls simultaneously".

   And into the abyss we go.

   There would be no place to hide from the government,
   even for lawful peaceful political protest.

   Domestic ECHELON must be physically disabled.

Article: "Second Thoughts from the Second Oldest Profession.
         Inside the US-Canada Spyworld."
By Mike Frost

[ Pictured is him on two of his Canadian security IDs ]

I was a spy. For almost two decades, I spied for Canada's Communications
Security Establishment (CSE), the most secret and least known branch of
National Defense. But although my paycheck came from the Canadian government,
more often than not, my orders, assignments, and much of my training ---
like those of many other CSE operators --- came from the National Security
Agency (NSA) in Fort Meade, Maryland.

Over the twelve years I spied for CSE, it became increasingly to resemble
the NSA. Both specialize in providing secure communications and signals
intelligence (SIGINT); both operated for years with little public knowledge
or legislative oversight until they were exposed by the media.
[snip]

Despite the similarities, CSE is treated more like a subsidiary than an
equal partner. US military and economic clout, as well as NSA's vastly
superior technical capabilities and near unlimited funds, allow Washington
to dominate.

And while CSE has only a $200-300 million dollar budget, NSA has an
estimated annual budget of almost $4 billion.

But the relationship is not without mutual benefits. CSE, NSA, and Britain's
Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) use each other's facilities
and personnel to spy on friend and foe alike and, more alarmingly, to
circumvent domestic laws and spy on their own populations.
[snip]

I either participated in or had direct knowledge of operations in which
CSE operated alone or joined with NSA

How absolutely disgusting of the Secret Service to persecute Ed Cummings.

The Secret Service are the same bunch of Cro-Magnums that put on rubber
gloves to search gay members of Congress visiting the President.

They didn't want to catch any gay cooties.

The President ordered all Secret Service members to take "sensitivity" classes.

There are two more things to know about this case of persecution.

One:

       8/30/96
       Ed Cummings was savagely beaten by another inmate.
       His jaw is shattered, and his arm is also completely shattered.
       He had surgery on both his arm and his jaw.
