Yo. or Yoi.
This is a terrible program with devious, evil intent.
Uh, I dunno folks.
I Know for certain my phone has been tapped, and that various email services have been blocked from my mailbox. Ingoing and outgoing.
Yes, there is my big effing electronic signature that someone somewhere is monitoring. Hopefully it is a big fat effing slob eating pizza at his “all night diner” in front of his PC. Yeah, that is you I’m talking about ahole!
I find it hard to believe that this MAIN CORE program is going to last long enough to round up dissidents like me (although I did hear a hard knock on the door earlier – an 8th grader doing fundraising). I think it will just take too much damn electricity to keep the gawd dang program alive. Imagine hard copies on how many people? Right. The gawd dang postage will be too expensive to keep this Chertoff-novian program alive. Let alone the electronic records which will probably turn to shit in the next Mercury retrograde.
I think any spying program run on electronic monitoring is going to go by the way of polyester suits and gas guzzling SUVs.
Unfortunately, that will also spell the end of me spilling my guts here on this site.
For which some might give thanks. Tee Hee.

I’d love to know how many hours of CPU time NSA has used trying to decipher the 128 bit encrypted dummy files I send out to every manner of kooky jihad addresses around the world! Eventually they are going to tire of me and move on to some other fool having fun messing with them!

@dagobaz

I nearly forgot about this two year old post:

http://cryptogon.com/2006_10_1.....2172259609

Those of us who came out of the woodwork to say everything we’ve been saying over the past several years have succeeded only in painting bulls’ eyes on our chests. Now they know who we are. And, more importantly, they know who you are; the thought criminals who read sites like Cryptogon. With this latest news, it’s clear that the U.S. wants to start actively using the intelligence they’re gleaning from the biggest honey pot of them all to take down critics of the regime.

You read this website, you have ever visited Cryptome , you have ever purchased a gray book, are a retired intel officer, you know what HAARP and Echelon are, you ask too damned many questions of your betters.

Yup, I am on it, just as sure as little green apples.

I will bet you my last ES trade that the primary source for this would be the net, perhaps the most devious, most insidious dual purpose technology ever invented: simply brilliant ! trick them into false anonymity, then, get them to reveal all manner of personal data … get them to voluntarily incriminate themselves and voila ! who needs all those stasi informants when you can get the sheeple to do it to themselves !!!

gotta love the cynical manipulation of the bleating herd.

myself included.

So the question for those of us living in US client states like New Zealand, is when do they start doing this to us? Our anti-terror legislation is ‘in-line’ with other countries like US/UK/Australia so the only question really is; what’s stoping them.

Loveandlight,

Don’t devalue yourself–having your attention pointed in the right direction has already placed you leagues ahead of a great majority of americans in terms of subversive efficacy.

The easiest way for the authoritarians to render you innocuous is for you to do it for them.

No, you guys have got it all wrong. George Bush says we are spreading democracy, rule of law, freedom and opportunity for all. “Camps? Vee know nothing about camps. Vee vere only obeying orders! What camps? What holcaust? Long live the Homeland.”

8 million Americans, roughly three in a hundred.

As you said before, Kevin, the thing that would be the most interesting to know is exactly who gets to decide what is important out of that immense galaxy of data, and what they decide. We can only guess what gets one flagged.

Purchasing A People’s History of the United States — probably not. But that plus The Monkey Wrench Gang, plus visiting anarcho-primitivist sites, plus Cryptogon? I’m still harmless — right?

Ominous stuff, especially when seen in the context of all those FEMA camps.

At first thought, it was difficult to imagine myself on this list because I’m so outcasted, socially isolated, and in some ways just pathetic that you’d have to be a little bent to the likes of me as a threat to the fabric of the “ACS”; but then it also occured to me that in a time of panic, I could make several of the sheeple freak out by just talking about what I know or suspect is really going on.

So yeah, maybe I will be hearing that forceful, pounding knock on the door in the middle of the night. Or maybe I’m just trying to imagine myself as more important than I ever possibly could be because I’m so pathetic…
