Your Emails, And Your Internet Service Provider, Will Give You Up Fast
Recently, my ISP, Bellsouth, gave me a call about complaints made by
an individual regarding my postings to RTC. After several minutes of conversation, and quite a few hearty chuckles, he signed off with a "Best Wishes", no warning, no violation of the TOS (Terms Of Service) Agreement. He swears he will become a consistent lurker; doesn't want to miss the "action", so to speak. LOL Sorry, maybe next time. Probably not. It did bring to my mind the ever increasing ability, for those who attempt to invade our privacies, and control our public (Internet/Usenet) resources, that certain "anti terrorism" laws have given our government, and its populace, to monitor, censure and invade our lives. The NSA "reads" 10% (or more) emails that are circulated worldwide and our FBI the same for US citizens. As data mining software is improved, thanks to felons like John Poindexter... http://www.americanpolitics.com/20030730Koop.html http://www.warblogging.com/tia/poindexter.php Which brings us to this article which, if this doesn't scare the BeJesus out of you, then you have no BeJesus in you. http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article...,113440,00.asp The Not So Fine Art Of Google http://makeashorterlink.com/?E29A321E6 |

I, for one, applaud the NSA and the FBI for doing all they can to
ferret out those who would destroy our way of life. Too bad that it offends the sensibilities of you and your fellow apologists for the murderous terrorists.

In my experience, any assertion that any organization reads even 10% of the worldwide traffic is completely and absolutely ridiculous. Yes, I saw the quotes. Even a keyword search of same would be beyond any government's capability. You have no CLUE how much email, postings, spam, and other traffic flow though the Internet/Usenet each hour of each day. I've been paid to program computers for about 25 years; hacked on them since '70. I know how to do these things and know how little I could sample without unbelievable resources. RELAX guys and gals. The Internet isn't as unsafe as some would want us to believe. The sheer volume of traffic is an insulation for individuals. And from long experience: attacking the character of someone is usually an indication that the attacker has no real argument. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

It might give reason for a person to wonder if all the code oranges and so forth are (1) continuing real concerns, if (2) they're there to scare off any terrorist activities, or (3) just politically motivated by the current regime to fool the people into thinking that it's critical to re-elect all those currently in place to keep our security. I suspect it's a combination of the 3. And I'm leaning heavily toward the 3rd one. And I don't want to hear any of that liberal/conservative garbage. The mess we have now stems from what happened during the reigns of Ronnie, Senior and his boy DubYa, and BubbaBill. They're all responsible to some degree. Some funded Bin Laden. Others didn't go after him when they had the chance, etc. They all helped create this mess. And meanwhile, our soldiers are STILL DYING in Iraq. Can we please find somebody who has a clue? --Tom |

Tom, you and I are in violent agreement at least on one point. Yes,
they are late. Perhaps if NSA and the FBI, among others, had been given more authority (and funding) they would have been able to head off 9/11. But at least now something (however effective/ineffective) is being done, which is what inspired the original complaint that I responded to. As far as fixing blame, you have to go back all the way to the Carter years, which is when the emasculation of our various intelligence efforts started. And it was irrespective of political party and/or political viewpoint.
