CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

Just kidding. That was Jack Nickelson speaking for the NSA.

Here is how it is done:

o Select all traffic.

o Exclude commonplace traffic, such as mailing lists.
example: FROM <[Email Removed]>
This is done by selecting keywords that match against the routing
information in the email header: who it came from, who it is going to.
The phone analogy is recipient and originating phone numbers.
This cuts down on "noise". "Secret Power" gave examples of this too.

o Search all traffic for a set of keywords that are found (tuned) over
time to have the best results. SOME of the ones I used:

first day
last day
resign
new job
resume
interview
test

It's ironic that testing of employees is so wide-spread that it can
be used to pick out people looking for new jobs.

o Further exclusion logic (keywords) to isolate the meaning of the
keyword 'resume' to mean job history. Also, UK people say 'CV'.
Example: do NOT allow a sentence fragment like 'resume playing'
to trigger "resume condition" inclusion.

That's how it is done.

I then sit at a terminal and page through a
summary of the results, looking for 'hits'.

That's how DICTIONARY works too.

Here is the fifty-percent reason.

A little technical quibble.

Reckless disregard for human life, leading to a disaster.

The following descriptions are entirely from Janet Reno's own testimony,
along with other Federal agents and neutral expert testimony.

The approximate date was 6/27/95, on C-SPAN, "Justice Department Oversight,
Senate Judiciary Committee". Senator Arlene Spector presiding.

Ms. Reno testified that the turning point in her decision to forcibly move
against the Waco compound came after she had "discussions" with senior
government people she would NOT NAME.

It is a "Challenger" type disaster, where public pressure caused them to
screw up. The same irony: they didn't want to look bad.

Janet Reno was asked to take off her "safety hat" and
put on her "management hat". She did. She's a good ol' boy.

My apolitical reasons for saying Janet Reno's decision to move against
Waco the way they did was reckless endangerment of life, entirely from
C-SPAN testimony:

o pumped in CS tear gas, which the US has signed a chemical weapons
treaty not to use against countries we go to war against. They were
aware of the indoor lethal capabilities of C.S. gas, because these
were spelled out in the manual.

o pumped in an extra heavy amount of it due to OUTSIDE winds.

o Reno had NO reliable data from her FBI-referred military
expert on the af

Nothing was done: I had completely overwhelmed Salomon Legal with security
incidents, and many were ignored.

In general, when you catch something in the backups, there are two choices:

o Grin and bear it
o File criminal or civil charges in court


Two of the security incidents found in the backups qualified for criminal
prosecution.

One was a source for the Finance Desk Trading System [FDTS].

Cybernetic-level monitoring of our electronic systems.

What are they trying to exert MAXIMUM CYBERNETIC CONTROL over?

It is INSANE to design our systems for government monitoring.

That's an overt use. Worse than that:

Like Bill Murray elaborately seducing Andie MacDowell in 'Groundhog Day'
they can enter your life in an almost unconscious manner. Informants
manage to connect to criminals by running into them in the right place,
saying the right things.

Only, as we have seen, informants connecting to criminals means the FBI

Within a few months the spy agency was sorting through all the
conversations it was already acquiring for general intelligence
purposes.

Of course, the technicians were required to acquire, monitor, and
discard a large number of calls made by people with no connection
with the business in South American cities.

But so pleased was Mr. Ingersoll with the tips he was getting from the

Cybernetic control of society
---------- ------- -- -------

You are about to encounter the true use of the 'cyber' prefix.

Cybernetics is a cross-disciplinary science. The name was coined by
Norbert Wiener [pron. whiner], who was a professor of mathematics at
MIT, and did radar and firing-feedback mechanisms for the U.S. in
World War II. Cybernetics describes the complex of sciences dealing
with communication and control in the living organism AND in the
machine. Its application is sometimes called operations research.

I personally rank Norbert Wiener above Albert Einstein.

Operations research is a difficult discipline --- I certainly don't understand
it --- but when it was desperately needed during World War II, the U.S. Dept.
of War went for it gung-ho, rightfully. Signals intelligence (SIGINT) is the
first step...the NSA grew out of these wartime operations research efforts.

To seek out information from noise, then act on the information.

Target accuracy for precision high altitude bombing requires
a complex feedback mechanism to control deployment (pre-GPS WW II).

said they would do with the bill, when we Americans speak so many
different accents and languages?

Answer: Thirty years of fine tuning by the NSA, y'all.


The Digital Telephony Act will allow them to legally - at full
wiretapping capacity - dragnet-monitor the telephone network.

Each line monitored will not require a warrant.

And how did they get this CALEA legislation?

The NSA domestic watch-list is probably already stuffed
full enough to use the complete CALEA capacity.

You can select many more lines for monitoring than actually end up active
at the same time. The effect is indistinguishable from a MUCH larger
monitoring capacity.

Even greater when the software programmatically decides (at the FBI end) which
conversations to continue listening to.

I'm sure law-enforcement will be able to dynamically configure their
connection to the phone companies'

They wanted all cellular phones to continually monitor

From the land of "Put the shrimp on the barby, Marlene:"

I was travelling on a tram the other day and in one seat
there was an old digger (Australian soldier or ex soldier)
reading his newspaper.

Across from him was a juvenile with a spikey mohawk haircut
coloured pink, green, orange and yellow.

The old digger kept looking over his newspaper at him.

Finally the young bloke spat the dummy, and yelled at the
elderly gent, "What the f......k are you looking at you silly
old bastard, haven't you ever done anything outrageous yourself ?

As cool as a cucumber the old digger put down his paper and said,

"I screwed a parrot once, and I was wondering if you were my son"


Actually, I consider the people to have fired themselves.

A frightening side effect of the watch list program was the tendency of most
lists to grow, expanding far beyond their original intent. This multiplier
effect was caused by the inclusion of names of people who came in contact
with those persons and organizations already on the lists.

Because of the NSA's vacuum cleaner approach to intelligence collection ---
whereby it sucks into its system the maximum amount of telecommunications and
then filters it through an enormous screen of "trigger words" --- analysts end
up reviewing telephone calls, telegrams, and telex messages to and from

That's a long time to sit in jail just because the FBI didn't want to
reveal its monitoring operations, isn't it? It's 1997 now: same as it
ever was. And his imprisonment had the same slimy quality as the vicious
attack on Qubilah Shabazz, whom the government at first claimed they
"had enough on her to put her away for 90 years".


And just how do domestic civil rights organizations get labelled terrorist
or under the influence of foreign agents? Why was Qubilah Shabazz's father
considered a terrorist?

Prepared Statement of
Director Louis J. Freeh
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Before the Senate Judiciary Committee

June 4, 1997

THE ISSUES YOU AND THE OTHER MEMBERS RAISE ARE CRITICAL AND IMMEDIATE.
MANY GO TO THE CORE OF THE FBI AND OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE. TO ADDRESS THESE VITAL ISSUES --- SERIOUS CRIME, TERRORISM AND
ESPIONAGE --- THE FBI MUST BE AND IS A DYNAMIC INSTITUTION ANTICIPATING
OR REACTING TO NEW TECHNOLOGY. PERHAPS UNLIKE ANY TIME IN OUR HISTORY,
THE NATURE OF CRIME AND TERRORISM IS EVOLVING AT AN UNPRECEDENTED PACE.
TERRORISM, BOTH INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC THREATENS US LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

National ID cards are effectively being implemented without
needing to issue cards. The U.S. Government is trying to
monitor all phone calls and banking transactions, and have
all equipment worldwide designed for their monitoring. They
are bent on controlling the world to the point of there being
no crime left on the planet. Of course, democracy destroyed
is the direct result.

This publication advocates five major items:

o Passage of ProCode/SAFE legislation, allowing U.S. companies to
export unlimited strength cryptography, free from "Key Recovery".
Key Recovery means messages are no longer a secret, because the
Government has screwed around with it.

o Killing the CALEA legislation, which orders all communications
equipment be DESIGNED so the Government can spy on it.

o Dismantling domestic ECHELON, the Government listening in on our
domestic phone calls.

o A Cabinet-level U.S. Privacy Commission, with teeth.

The "average" American has no idea why cryptography is important to them.

It is the only way to begin preventing massive illegal domestic spying.

Currently, there are no restrictions on domestic use of unlimited strength
cryptography. That is not because the Government hasn't complained about
child pornographers or terrorists or other criminals who mig

Tom Petty wins MTV's highest video award, but they always censored the
word 'joint' in the video! MTV, the spirit of Rock'N'Roll...not.

Maybe they're just doing what they can: they played the word BACKWORDS
in the video...a British band was on trial in the U.S. a few years ago
charged with putting backward-playing lyrics on their album (acquitted).

But it's okay if Jay Leno shows a Clinton look-alike smoking a bong.

# "AIDS VIRUS FEEDS ON FEDERAL NEEDLE POLICY"
# By Steven Wishnia, High Times Magazine, July 1997
#
# No federal action is planned to end the ban on federal funding for needle
# exchange programs by the Clinton Administration, despite mounting scienti-
# fic evidence that shooting up with unclean needles is the second most
# common risk behavior (40%) for HIV infection.
#
# It is a very cost-effective way of saving lives.
#
# SIX federally funded studies done between 1991 to 1995 concluded that
# needle exchange programs reduce HIV transmission and do not encourage
# use.
#
# Someone who spoke with Senator Arlene Spector said that "Noone's willing
# to take the political step."
#
# Instead, the biggest federal funding for AIDS prevention in 1996 went to
# programs urging teenagers to abstain from ["have outside marriage
