Number
numbers for their new born children in order to claim them as dependents. This is not a isolated incident. In fact, since the creation of the Social Security Number in 1934, there have been almost 40 congressional authorized uses of the number as a identification number for non-Social Security programs. In many states, no one can not get a job, a driver's license, or receive a copy of their birth certificate without first presenting their Social Security Number to government or state agency. This entity,
which I call "Big Brother" is slowly taking away our freedom, privacy and civil rights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------The National Security Act
2004 NOV: Since the end of World War II, each
administration has sought to develop and perfect a reliable set of executive
institutions to manage national security policy. Each President has tried
to avoid the problems and deficiencies of his predecessors' efforts and
install a policy making and coordination system that reflected his personal
management style. The
National Security Council (NSC) has been at the
center of this foreign policy coordination system, but it has changed many
times to conform with the needs and inclinations of each succeeding chief
executive. The National Security Act of 1947 mandated a major reorganization
of the foreign policy and military establishments of the U.S. Government.
The act created
many of the institutions that Presidents found
useful when formulating and implementing foreign policy, including the
National Security Council (NSC). The act also established the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA), which grew out of World War II era Office of Strategic Services
and small post war intelligence organizations. The CIA served as the primary
civilian intelligence
gathering organization in the government. Later,
the Defense Intelligence Agency became the main military intelligence body.
The President's Special Counsel, complained about "the failure of the bill
to define in clear terms the sense in which the word intelligence' is used.
For example, 'intelligence,' 'foreign intelligence,' 'intelligence relating
to the national security,' 'strategic and national policy intelligence,'
'the national intelligence mission,' and 'intelligence affecting the national
security,' are used indiscriminately as though they were synonymous."
The failure to distinguish between 'intelligence' and 'foreign intelligence'"
would "lead to the suspicion that the 'National Intelligence Authority'
and the 'Central Intelligence Agency' and The FBI will attempt to gain
control, with the powers granted to them.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff plan clearly envisaged
a Presidential directive; the McCormack plan appeared to do so; and when
the Secretaries of State, War, and Navy reached agreement in January 1946,
they also recommended action by Presidential directive. Secretary of State
Byrnes apparently believed that the Reorganization Act of 1945 gave the
President the authority he required and needed for the necessary authority
and standing to develop, support, coordinate and direct an adequate Federal
intelligence program. Ever cautious about separate legislation on intelligence,
the White House drafted the armed forces unification bill included the
establishment of a Central Intelligence Agency as one of its provisions.
The White House continued
to fear that a Central Intelligence Agency might
prove controversial in the Congress and resisted efforts to expand the
scope of the bill, hoping to keep the intelligence provisions as inconspicuous
as possible and preferring that more detailed enabling legislation be submitted
to Congress at a later date. The National Security Act of 1947 entered
into force on September 19,
1947, and the Central Intelligence Agency came
into being as a statutory body the next day. In creating the National Security
Council, the National Security Act of 1947 provided the President with
an invaluable forum for the consideration and coordination of domestic,
foreign, and military policies related to America's security. In 1997,
President Clinton of the United
States of America, proclaimed September
14 through September 20, 1997, as a time to commemorate the 50th Anniversary
of the National Security Act of 1947.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Patriot Act
In the last decade we have witnessed an enormous
explosion in the amount of tracking and information of individuals in the
United States. The explosion of computers, cameras, location sensors, wireless
communication, biometrics, and other technologies is making it a lot easier
to track, store, and analyze information about a individuals' activities.
The law enforcement
publication POLICE MAGAZINE published an article
in their May-June 2004 issue in which The 5th United States Circuit Court
has ruled that law enforcement officers are not required to obtain a search
warrant prior to investigating a business or residence. This new decision
was handed down in accord concerning the 1994 case of United States vs.
Kelly Gould. The
majority of the American population are not even
aware of these laws that attack their freedoms. It took only 45 days
after the September 11 attacks, and with virtually no debate, Congress
passed the THE PATRIOT ACT. Many parts of this sweeping legislation take
away the checks on law enforcement and threaten the very rights and freedoms
that we are struggling to protect. For example, without a warrant and without
probable cause, the FBI now has the power to access your most private medical
records, your library records, and your student records. A veil of secrecy
has shrouded the Patriot Act for years. Among the other documents released
by the FBI is an e-mail that acknowledges that Section 215 can be used
to obtain physical objects, in addition to records. It states the FBI could
use Section 215 to obtain a person's apartment key. The Attorney General
has previously acknowledged that Section 215 can be used to obtain computer
files and even genetic information. Another document released by the FBI
is an internal FBI memo, dated October 29, 2003, acknowledging that Section
215 of the Patriot Act can be used to obtain information about innocent
people. The memo contradicts the governments assertion, made repeatedly
on the public record, that Section 215 can be used only against suspected
terrorists and spies. "It is remarkable that the government never made
any effort to inform the plaintiffs or even the Court that it has begun
using Section 215," said Ann Beeson, Associate Legal Director of the ACLU.
Below are a few examples of The Patriot Act :
Sec. 215. Access to records and other items under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Sec. 326. Verification of identification.
Sec. 351. Amendments relating to reporting of suspicious activities.
Sec. 405. Report on the integrated automated fingerprint identification system for ports of entry and overseas consular posts.
Subtitle Enhanced Immigration Provisions
Sec. 416. Foreign student monitoring program.
Sec. 503. DNA identification of terrorists and
other violent offenders.
Sec. 507. Disclosure of educational records.
The key to these law definitions is that their is no key. It's wording and it's meaning can be interrupted in numerous fashions. One example is what and whom are terrorists? What defines a terrorist ? One example, according to The Bush administration, is that a computer hacker is defined as a terrorist. My conclusion is that this type of government agenda reminds me of the Nazi mentality in the 1930s where the Nazi Party encouraged it's citizens to report suspicious activities being committed by their neighbors, their family, or fellow workers. The outcome led to the banning of all commerce and the rights of the jewish citizen, which led to Hitler's final solution according to his fascist views of "the jewish problem", known as the Holocaust, where millions of jewish origin and other citizens were murdered in the Nazi concentration camps in World War II. The similarities of The Patriot Act and The Third Reich are frightening due to their similar doctrine and the way both ideologies were born, and then made into law. The Domestic Security Enhancement Act (also called “Patriot Act 2”) Further dismantles court review of surveillance, such as terminating court approved limits on police spying on religious and political activity. It allows the government to obtain credit records and library records secretly and without judicial oversight. Allows wiretaps without a court order for up to 15 days following a terrorist attack Allows government to operate in secret by authorizing secret arrests, and imposing severe restrictions on the release of information about the hazards to the community posed by chemical and other plants. Patriot Act II further expands the reach of an already over broad definition of terrorism so that organizations engaged in civil disobedience are at risk of government wiretapping. The 2005 exposure of CIA ran concentration camps for suspected terrorist were being operated in countries outside of US legal jurisdiction on purpose. Torture and murder are being used in these camps. These are only a few examples. The vagueness and the exploitation of The Patriot Act include: Under the TIA program, every aspect of our lives would be catalogued and made available to government officials.The USA PATRIOT Act, at section 802, provides that any actions, occurring primarily within the United States, are “domestic terrorism” if they;
(1) “involve” a violation of state or federal
criminal law.
(2) “appear to be intended” to influence government
policy or a civilian population by “intimidation or coercion.
(3) “involve acts dangerous to human life.”
According to the wording of section 802, an act
of littering could be deemed a terrorist act as all states classify littering
a criminal offense, thus a violation of state law as portrayed above. The
Patriot Act is nothing short of propaganda to invoke a false sense of security,
as well as the loss of constitutional and civil rights of citizens and
the elimination of judicial process.
In April of 2004, The FBI, endorsed by The Department
of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Agency submitted a 85 page proposal
to the FCC requesting extra wire tapping and monitoring on all forms of
Internet Communications. The proposal includes more eavesdropping capabilities
on instant messaging, cable modems, DSL, and so forth. The 1994 Communications
Assistance for Law Enforcement Act ( The CALEA ) had established rules
and legal guide lines for wire tapping telecommunications providers.
The report released by the US Justice Department concerning convicted FBI
agent Robert Hanssen was a startling revelation on the lax and careless
measures committed by the FBI. It showed how a mediocre agent
exploited lax security at the agency over a 20
year period. The 31 page report noted the failures and incompetence within
the FBI which is almost frightening considering the FBI is the main security
entity for American security and intelligence. Inspector General Glenn
A. Fine noted a few of the outlandish and stupidity concerning the activities
of FBI agent Robert Hanssen, who now sits in prison.
The United States is turning into a full fledged
surveillance society leading the human race into a global society of Orwellian
surveillance. The tremendous explosion in surveillance enabling technologies,
combined with the ongoing weakening in legal restraints that protect our
privacy mean that we are drifting toward a surveillance society. "Total
Information Awareness" may
be the closest thing to a true "Big Brother"
program that has ever been seriously contemplated in the United States.
TIA is based on a vision of pulling together as much information as possible
about as many people as possible into a global database, making that information
available to government officials, and sorting through it to try to identify
terrorists or civilians whom pose a real or imagined threat to this Big
Brother Society. Since the amount of public and private information on
our lives is growing by leaps and bounds every week, a government project
that seeks to put all that information together is a radical and frightening
form of human profiling. TIA is run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), a branch of the Department of Defense that works on military
research. TIA would represent a radical departure from the centuries old
American tradition that the police conduct surveillance only where there
is evidence of involvement in wrongdoing. It would seek to protect
us by monitoring everyone for signs of wrongdoing, by instituting a giant
dragnet capable of sifting through the personal lives of Americans.
It would ruin the very American values that our government is supposed
to be protecting the plus lives of our brave men and women in the current
Iraq war whom are under the assumption that is what they are fighting.
The TIA program is based on highly speculative assumptions about how databases
can be used to stop terrorism, and this program in stopping terrorism is
highly speculative, but the damage that it would do to American freedom
is certain.
The use of computers have revolutionized global
crime and has given law enforcement unlimited tools to fight cyber terrorist,
even the tools of eliminating any rights, privacy, or judicial process.
The United States was once founded on such documents as The Constitution,
The Bill of Rights, Civil Rights, and all those other freedoms that US
citizens take for granted. Not only have the citizens of The United States
lost numerous freedoms, but like a cancer, it is spreading like a virus
on a global scale. Americans have the right to expect that their lives
will not become an open book when they have not done, and are not even
suspected of doing, anything wrong and it harbors a tremendous potential
for abuse. The motto of the TIA program is that “knowledge is power,” and
in fact the keepers of the TIA database would gain a tremendous amount
of power over American citizens. Inevitably, some of them will abuse
that power. The government has not been shy about storing information in
their data base, and it is envisioned as a primary source for the TIA database.
The information that is generated and retained about our activities is
becoming so rich that if all that information about us was put together,
it would almost be like having a video camera following us around.
Programs like TIA make such "data surveillance" a reality in today's global
community. The U.S. government knows that the American people will never
go for a national I.D. card or a national database of every Americans
fingerprints and photographs. But that database
theology is already here and being implemented. When did the government
ever listen to it's citizens on the matters of privacy. This United States
national data base already has details on 100 Million Americans claiming
these policies are necessary to comply with international standards. An
example of the kind of abuses that
can happen were chronicled in a July 2001 investigation
by the Detroit Free Press (and December 2001 follow up): the newspaper
found that police officers with access to a database for Michigan law enforcement
had used it to help their friends or themselves. The officers would threaten
motorists, track estranged spouses, and to intimidate political opponents.
Another
example is J. Edgar Hoover, was notorious for
abusing power, black mail, and even keeping American Presidents under his
thumb. No one can hold the director of such a powerful agency as the FBI
for more than forty years without some sort of hold over others in power.
Hoover's abusive and criminal activities which are finally being revealed
20 years later have prompted many legislators to have his name removed
from the FBI headquarters in Washington. Experience has shown that when
large
numbers of Americans challenge the governments
policy (for example in Vietnam), some parts of the government react by
conducting surveillance and using propaganda against these critics of freedom.
The unavoidable truth is that a super database like the TIA will lead us
into a One World Government and the surveillance of the human race.
GIS and COMPSTAT and other numerous crime mapping
programs have been in use since 1990. The Geographic Information System
( GIS ) uses GPS satellites to analyze and map every square foot of the
planet. In short, the Earth is transformed into a digital map. The usefulness
of GIS to government law enforcement agencies is that these digital maps
can be
overlaid with strategic and tactical information
as well monitoring and tracking technologies The GIS system was reportedly
developed by the New York City Police Department
in 1994 which was named COMPSTAT. The COMPSTAT program is a advanced tool
for law enforcement to better it's efficiency and accuracy in collecting
and documenting evidence, which includes the advance use of biometrics
technology. COMPSTAT eventually grew into a nation wide data base for officers
to access it, or abuse it. One draw back to this type of investagative
tool was it may allow police to intrude on citizens privacy.
On July 4, 1966 President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed into law legislation the Freedom of Information Act ( FOIA) which entitled citizens, reporters, and historians to legally request and obtain copies of government documents, except for those documents that were specifically exempted. The FOIA has proven to be a vital tool in exposing and reporting acts to the public, in which a majority of the public were shocked at the actions and operations the government had committed. Over 6,000 new stories from the year 2002 through 2003 were reported which included the theft of weapons from United States stockpiles, the exposure of germ warfare chemicals on American soldiers in the 1960's, to other covert acts committed by those in governmental and military agencies. The government is making it harder to acquirer requested documents using the old excuse of national security to, as mentioned earlier, documents that were specifically exempted. This phrase " specifically exempted " in theory and under the color of the law, could be translated into that ALL documents could be exempted.
The CIA has enjoyed many years of this operational exempted law and denial of any of it's operations makes them infallible to the law and the Constitution. A good example of such deception would be a 1968 incident in which a Soviet submarine exploded and sunk in the Pacific ocean. The government, wanting to gain the secrets of the Soviet submarine's technology used a specially built vessel, named the Glomar Explorer, to retrieve the sub and it's components in which it was partially successful. The incident was reported by the press but when it asked the CIA for documents under the FOIA, the CIA and the government denied any such operation existed. The CIA claimed that if a incident of this nature even existed, it would be protected by the classified documents that were specifically exempted from the FOIA. Even if the agency was forced to supply the documents, all you would get would be page after page of blacked out lines, information deemed classified or which may pose a threat to national security. This is what makes The Patriot Act such a dangerous law and already those in power are using it too trample the rights and laws that every american citizen are entitled too. And the abuse of this law, which was designed for terrorists, will be used for any operation the government deems justified. The FBI in Las Vegas used a investigation named Operation G-String to go after the cities biggest alleged strip club owner, Michael Galardi. Using The Patriot Act, which gives law enforcement agencies a green card to eavesdrop, wire-tap, even enter a business or home without a search warrant, without any form of judicial process, just do as they please and go after their enemies, real or imagined. As of this story, I don't see how a strip club poses a threat of terrorism. Even when The Patriot Act was passed after the 911 attacks, myself and many others which included civil libertarians, ACLU, claimed and knew this law would be abused. US Attorney General Ashcroft ( American equal of Adolf Hitler ) labeled these people as hysterics and preached that any weakening of The Patriot Act would endanger american lives. Another item of The Patriot Act allows the FBI to monitor the books people check out of public libraries. The Las Vegas FBI labeled Operation G-String lawful and told Shelley Burket, a Nevada Democrat that the investigation was legal and that The FBI was using the tools that Congress gave them. This FBI reply left Shelley Burket asking," When did The Patriot Act deem that our nation be kept safe from strip club owners?" Future abuses of this law will grow and until The American People see the ruthlessness and fallacy of this law, you may be yourself deemed a terrorist associate because you had purchased ice cream from a company that made it is suspected of having terrorists ties.
- One World Government.
The United Nations Assembly Council can be seen as a form of The New World Order & One World Government
As a result of Brzezinski's input they developed a more subtle plan that appeared to create a competition between three economic and political super states. However, the hidden reality was the the The United States, Japan, and Germany represented three branches of a global enterprise. The plan required each of the three superpowers to take the first steps to dominate and finally merge the nations in their own area. Public opinion is being persuaded by the media to accept the loss of sovereignty in return for the promised blessing of a stable international, political and economic New World Order. Once this stage is complete the final step will be to merge the three superpowers into a One World Government. On January 30,1976,32 Senators and 92 Representatives signed The Declaration of Inter dependence. This document was an attempt to create propaganda for the the planned New World Order. This was their statement, " Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation; now we must join with others to bring forth a new world order. Germany is now conquering the nations of Europe through economic and political means. Japan is rapidly dominating the countries it tried to conquer in World War II and now is forming a new Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. The United States has created The North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA) to consolidate the economies of Mexico, Canada and America. This Trilateral approach succeeded in creating the impression among many people that there is a true international competition underway between The United States, Europe and Japan.
World Trade Bank in Washington D.C.
- The One World Bank
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank originated during World War II in preparation for postwar international financial and economic cooperation. Initiated by the United States and Great Britain, these efforts culminated in the UN Monetary and Financial Conference held in July 1944 at Bretton Woods, N.H., U.S. Forty-four nations attended the conference, although the resulting system of international postwar reconstruction and monetary relations, known as the Bretton Woods system, was based on liberal principles articulated largely by the United States. The principal functions of the World Bank are to assist in the reconstruction and development of its member countries by facilitating capital investment for productive purposes, to promote private foreign investment by guarantees of and participation in loans and other investments made by private investors, and to make loans for productive purposes out of its own resources or funds borrowed by it when private capital is not available on reasonable terms. The IMF was designed to stabilize international monetary rates and promote foreign exchange cooperation, though its function of extending loans for structural adjustments has increased dramatically. Both agencies have been focal points of contention between the Western industrialized and Third World countries, the former insisting on adherence to market principles and the latter asserting that such adherence causes undue hardships for developing states. The primary focus of these agencies has shifted from the advanced industrialized countries to Third World states owing to successful postwar reconstruction in the West, decolonization, and difficulties in development in the Third World that were exacerbated by the oil shocks of the 1970s. Both agencies are powerful players on the international economic scene.
The World Bank encompasses three separate institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which is its most important component; the International Development Association (IDA); and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Twenty-nine nations signed its articles of agreement in 1945. By the early 1990s the bank had more than 160 members. The bank is governed by an executive board and a managing director. Voting in the bank is weighted according to initial contributions to the bank's capital. The World Bank may lend funds directly, guarantee loans made by others, or participate in such loans. Loans may be made to member countries directly or to any of their political subdivisions or to private business or agricultural enterprises in the territories of members. The World Bank obtains its funds for loans primarily from borrowings in the capital markets. Its soft-loan component, the IDA (established in 1960), lends to low income countries on more favorable terms, free of interest except for a small service charge. The IFC (established in 1956) provides loans to private business in developing countries.
Most of the World Bank's loans in its early years underwrote large-scale infrastructure projects--roads, railways, ports, power facilities, and telecommunications. Since about 1970 an increasing proportion of World Bank lending has been for agricultural, educational, and population programs in the Third World. Many programs have met with little or mixed success in their goal of pulling developing states out of poverty and increasing self-sufficiency, and so have engendered controversy. Furthermore, the bank's lending was further complicated in the 1980s by the world debt crisis and the fact that many debt-plagued states fell behind in loan repayments. The World Bank has, more recently, committed itself to sector assistance for farmers and business entrepreneurs as well as to projects that meet the environmental criteria outlined by the UN Environment Program.
The IMF came into existence in December 1945, but its first transactions were not made until 1947. It is administered by a board of governors and 22 executive directors. Member governments subscribe the IMF's operating funds. Each member has a quota based on a formula that includes its GNP, reserves, and trade potential and pays its quota in its own currency or with a mix of its currency and acceptable reserve assets, including " special drawing rights" (or SDRs), which allow a country to purchase currency for other transactions. A member's quota determines both its voting power in the agency and access to funds. Members may arrange standby credits to use as and if necessary. The IMF has created a number of "facilities" under which it provides loans to countries facing particular difficulties. The expansion of world trade, coupled with a succession of international financial crises, created a demand for additional reserves that could be used in the settlement of international balances. In 1971, as a result of these crises, the U.S. dollar went off the gold standard, marking the formal end of the Bretton Woods monetary system. By March 1973, a system of generalized floating had taken its place and is still used today. As a result, the IMF no longer intervened to stabilize monetary relations in currency crises; rather, its attention since the 1970s has been focused on the world debt crisis. (see also Index: international trade, floating exchange rate)
The IMF's lending has been intended to be for short-term purposes. In practice, this has worked more effectively for advanced countries, which formed the bulk of IMF recipients until the late 1960s, than for developing countries, which applied for funds in increasing numbers after the oil crisis of 1973. Many developing countries have become dependent on IMF loans, given uncertain export markets, the high cost of imports, and preexisting heavy debt burdens to both the IMF and private banks. Moreover, IMF conditionally, whereby the agency insists on certain measures of structural adjustment before approving loans, has generated controversy between the advanced industrial states, which wield the greatest voting power in the agency, and Third World states, which apply for loans. IMF conditions may include provisions for lifting foreign exchange restrictions and price controls, liberalizing trade, and cutting spending to balance budgets. In imposing these conditions, the IMF wields considerable influence on the domestic economic policies of the states that apply for assistance. Despite the relatively strict conditions often attached to loans, membership in the IMF has increased over the years, and loans were extended to Russia and a number of eastern European states after the end of the Cold War
- --The United Nations
The New York Times published an article entitled "The New World Army" in March, 1992, calling for the creation of a permanent UN army. The bill for 11 UN peacekeeping missions involving 77,000 blue helmeted UN troops could exceed 3.7 billion dollars. As demands grow for a permanent UN rapid deployment army, negotiations have commenced to include Russia, European, Canadian, and American Special Forces in the core of the future New World Army. One of the most dangerous things about the UN Charter and various other international treaties is that they literally supersede the constitutions of our democratic countries. As an example, the US Constitution states that treaties signed by the Senate supersede our own Constitution. There fore, if there is a conflict between a UN treaty and the laws of the Untied States, the Supreme Court will demand that the government obey the dictates of The United Nations treaty. The United Nations maintains its headquarters in New York City. It also has offices in Geneva and Vienna and operates field stations in other cities around the world. The United Nations (UN) became the successor to the League of Nations and absorbed much of the latter's administrative and physical apparatus when it was disbanded in 1946. The United Nations formed a continuum with the League in general purpose, structure, and functions; many of the United Nations' principal organs and related agencies were adopted from similar structures established earlier in the century. In some respects, however, the United Nations constituted a very different organization from the League, especially with regard to the objective of maintaining international peace and security. Differences with the League were due to changes incorporated into the UN's decision making apparatus and to changes in the nature of international relations. Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union (until its dissolution in 1991-92) deeply affected the security functions of the United Nations during its first 45 years, while extensive post-World War II decolonization in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East increased the volume and nature of political, economic, and social issues that confronted the organization. Finally, the end of the Cold War in 1990 brought renewed attention and appeals to the United Nations, posing challenges to established practices and functions, especially in the areas of conflict resolution and humanitarian assistance, in the midst of an increasingly volatile geopolitical climate.
International organization established by charter on Oct. 24, 1945, with the purposes of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations on the principle of equal rights and self-determination, and encouraging international cooperation in solving international economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems. The term United Nations was originally used during World War II to denote those countries that were allied against the Axis powers (Germany, Japan, and Italy). A conference at Dumbarton Oaks, an estate in Washington, D.C., was the earliest attempt to permanently establish this United Nations. Representatives of the "Big Four" (United Kingdom, United States, U.S.S.R., and China) met there from Aug. 21 to Oct. 7, 1944, to draft some preliminary proposals, which were later discussed and more clearly outlined at the Yalta Conference in February 1945 by the Allied war leaders Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The proposals, supplemented by these three leaders' decisions, formed the basis of negotiations at the United Nations Conference on International Organization, held in San Francisco two months later; the resultant Charter of the United Nations was signed in June and came into force on Oct. 24, 1945. The United Nations' headquarters is now located at the UN Building in New York City. Six principal organs of the United Nations were established.
The General Assembly (q.v.) includes representatives of all members of the UN. A nation may send up to five representatives but still has only one vote. Decisions are reached either by majority or by two-thirds vote, depending upon the subject matter. The General Assembly works through the committee system and receives reports from the various councils. It performs such functions as supervising trust agreements, budgetary matters, and financial assessments. The assembly elects judges to the International Court of Justice and plays an important role in amending the UN's charter and proposing conferences. It is convened yearly or by special session when necessary.
The Security Council (q.v.) consists of 5 permanent members--United States, Russia (until 1991, the U.S.S.R.), United Kingdom, France, and China--and 10 non permanent members (6 until 1965). The council functions continuously and is mainly concerned with the maintenance of international security. The presidency is rotated among members each month. Non permanent members are chosen from groups and regions in the most equitable fashion possible. Nine votes (including those of all five permanent members) are sufficient to carry a Security Council decision, but any permanent member may exercise a veto over any substantive proposal.
The Economic and Social Council (q.v.) is mainly concerned with the management of the UN's social, economic, cultural, and humanitarian activities. Convening at least twice yearly, this council conducts studies and proposes suggestions for economic and social improvements. The council oversees many commissions, including four major ones in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
The International Court of Justice (q.v.), also known as the World Court, is located in The Hague. It is the main judicial branch of the UN and consists of 15 judges elected for nine-year terms by both the General Assembly and the Security Council. Each judge must come from a different country. The court settles disputes and hands down decisions and opinions to the General Assembly and the Security Council. [Table]
The Secretariat (q.v.) is the administrative department of the UN, headed by the secretary-general, who functions in a position of political importance and is appointed for a five-year term by both the General Assembly and the Security Council. (see also Index: Secretariat)
The United Nations attempts to promote harmonious interaction among the countries of the world. The UN has sometimes used peacekeeping forces to halt fighting in or between various countries. (The UN peacekeeping forces were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1988.) Other programs and agencies under the UN's supervision include the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank); International Monetary Fund (IMF); International Labour Organization (ILO; recipient of the 1969 Nobel Peace Prize); Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); World Health Organization (WHO); United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF; recipient of the 1965. Like the League of Nations before it, the United Nations is concerned with issues of human rights, including the rights of women and children, refugee resettlement, and narcotics control. Some of its greatest successes have been in the area of improving the health and welfare of the world's population.

EUROPEAN COMMUNITY-REBIRTH OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
"The right man in the right place at the right time," as he was called by British Prime Minister John Major, or the lowest common denominator, as others said of him, Jacques Santer came to the presidency of the European Commission as a compromise choice. He was selected for a five-year term by the European Council, the heads of government of the 12 member nations of the European Union (EU), at a special meeting on July 15, 1994, and confirmed by a majority of only 22 votes in the 567-seat European Parliament one week later. Santer was drafted after Major had vetoed the selection of Belgian Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene, whose candidacy had been advanced by France and Germany. Santer, who was reelected in June 1994 to his third term as prime minister of Luxembourg, would assume the reins of the EU administration in January 1995, at a crucial time in the EU's movement toward political and economic integration. The Maastricht Treaty, which established the ground rules for that integration, was scheduled for review in 1996. Several of the "Euroskeptical" signees had begun to waver as the Commission, Parliament, and member nations battled over sharing power. Even if Santer might lack the commanding presence of his predecessor, France's Jacques Delors (for 10 years the voice of EU centralization), his skills as a quiet conciliator would still be much in demand. It was under his guidance, during Luxembourg's six-month stewardships of the rotating presidency of the European Council, that essential agreements were reached in 1985 and 1991--concerning a single economic market and the Maastricht Treaty, respectively. Santer's vision was of a federalized, "non-Napoleonic" Europe ("The more Europe is decentralized, the stronger it is," he said)--not the predominant view. Holding his own with influential Eurocrats such as the U.K.'s Sir Leon Brittan, within the Commission and outside it, would require statesmanship of the highest order.European Common Market World Headquarters in Brussels Belgium
Santer, Jacques
Born on May 18, 1937, in Wasserbillig, Luxembourg, Santer graduated from the Athénée de Luxembourg, studied law at the Universities of Strasbourg and Paris (with a degree from the latter), and attended the Institute of Political Science in Paris. Shortly after beginning his law career, he entered politics, serving the Christian Social People's Party as its parliamentary secretary (1966-72; becoming Luxembourg's secretary of state for social and cultural affairs in the last year), secretary-general (1972-74), and ultimately president (1974-82). In 1975 he became a member of the European Parliament and was reelected in 1979 and 1984. He was elected Luxembourg's prime minister in 1984 and at different times during his three terms took on the additional portfolios of Finance and Communications, Treasury, and Cultural Affairs. From 1987 to 1990 he also assumed the leadership of the European People's Party, the coalition that united Christian Democratic and Christian Social parties in the European Parliament.
- Jacque Delors
Delors joined the Socialist Party in 1974 and in 1976 became the party's national delegate for international economic relations. In 1979 he was elected to the European Parliament, where he served as chairman of the economic and monetary committee. In 1981 François Mitterrand, the newly elected Socialist president, appointed Delors minister of economics and finance. The French economy was then in recession, and Delors initially carried out the Socialist recovery plan of increasing government controls and spending. He eventually convinced Mitterrand to accept his program of austerity, however, which succeeded in restoring relative economic stability.
Delors left government to become the president
of the European Commission in 1985. He revitalized the long-stalled EC,
pushing through reforms and persuading the member states to agree to the
creation of a single market, to take effect from Jan. 1, 1993, the first
step toward full economic and political integration.
- EUROPE ADRIFT AFTER THE COLD WAR
EC), formerly (until Nov. 1, 1993) EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (EEC), byname COMMON MARKET, economic association of European countries that was established to promote European economic unity. The EEC was established in the wake of World War II to promote the lasting reconciliation of France and Germany, to develop the economies of the member states into one large common market, and to try to develop a political union of the states of western Europe capable of alleviating their fears of war with each other. The liberalized trade policies sponsored by the EC from the 1950s were highly successful in increasing trade and economic prosperity in western Europe. The EC is now the principal organization within the European Union (q.v.).The European Economic Community was formally established by one of the Treaties of Rome in 1957 to facilitate (1) the removal of barriers to trade among the member nations, (2) the establishment of a single commercial policy toward nonmember countries, (3) the eventual coordination of members' transportation systems, agricultural policies, and general economic policies, (4) the removal of private and public measures restricting free competition, and (5) the assurance of the mobility of labour, capital, and entrepreneurship among the members. The original members were France, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Italy, and West Germany. The United Kingdom, Denmark, and Ireland joined in 1973, Greece in 1981, and Portugal and Spain in 1986. The former East Germany was admitted as part of reunified Germany in 1990. Austria, Finland, and Sweden joined the European Union, and hence the EC, in 1995. (see also Index: Rome, Treaties of)
Plans for a common market in western Europe had been discussed in 1955 at a meeting in Messina, Sicily; the treaty was finally signed in March 1957, and the EEC came into operation on Jan. 1, 1958. The four primary structural organs of the EEC were the Commission, the Council of Ministers, the Court of Justice, and the European Parliament; the last two were also to serve the other two branches of the European Communities,the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). From the beginning one of the EEC's main goals was to eliminate the tariffs, customs duties, and quotas that its members imposed on each other's exports. Accordingly, the first reduction in EEC internal tariffs was implemented in January 1959, and this proved so successful in stimulating trade between member states that by July 1968 all internal tariffs had been removed. Trade among the member nations of the EEC quadrupled in value in the period from 1958 to 1968. Meanwhile, the EEC had adopted a common external tariff so that all of its member states imposed uniform duties on goods imported from nonmember nations.
A common agricultural policy was established in 1962 and consisted of a system of common guaranteed prices (expressed in dollar terms for convenience) that would offer protection against agricultural imports from lower-cost markets outside the EEC. Because of the high cost of price supports and the resentment of the manufacturing countries, which felt that they were being forced to subsidize inefficient agriculture, the community in 1979 agreed to gradually eliminate the subsidies, replacing them with an intervention price designed to prevent agricultural prices from falling below fixed levels. The European Communities came into existence on July 1, 1967, in the merger of the EEC, the ECSC, and Euratom. Previously each of these three separate organizations had its own commission (called the High Authority in the case of the ECSC) and its own council. The merger created a single Commission of the European Communities and a single Council of Ministers of the European Communities. Other executive, legislative, and judicial bodies were also collected under the umbrella of the EC. The plural was dropped from the EC's name in the 1980s as the economic integration of the nations of western Europe progressed, and the organization became known as the European Community. In 1993 the European Community became the basis for the European Union. At the same time, the European Economic Community was renamed the European Community. The economic history of the EEC (and of the EC) since the 1970s is subsumed in that of the European Union.

In Greek mythology, the daughter either of Phoenix or of Agenor, king of Phoenicia. The beauty of Europa inspired the love of Zeus, who approached her in the form of a white bull and carried her away from Phoenicia to Crete. There she bore Zeus three sons: King Minos of Crete, King Rhadamanthus of the Cyclades Islands, and, according to some legends, Prince Sarpedon of Lycia. She later married the king of Crete, who adopted her sons, and she was worshiped under the name of Hellotis in Crete, where the festival Hellotia was held in her honour.
The name and origin of Europe is unknown but mythologic tradition states the Greek God Zeus enticed a Phoenician king's daughter who was named Europa. Zeus fell in love with Europa and transformed himself into a bull. Zeus, disguised as the bull then enticed Europa onto his back where they then went to Crete. On the island of Crete, Europa became queen and the mother of Minoan kings which are said to be the earliest civilization to inhabit European soil in the time period of 3,600 BC. The creation of the city of Rome was said to be founded and created by two men named Romulus and Remus around the time period of 753 BC in which Rome was the global empire until the time period of 476 AD.The Rebirth of The Roman Empire
------------
MARCH 2004; The European Union (EU) is a family of democratic European countries, committed to working together for peace and prosperity. It is not a State intended to replace existing states, but it is more than any other international organisation. The EU is, in fact, unique. Its Member States have set up common institutions to which they delegate some of their sovereignty so that decisions on specific matters of joint interest can be made democratically at European level. The historical roots of the European Union lie in the Second World War. The idea of European integration was conceived to prevent such killing and destruction from ever happening again. It was first proposed by the French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman in a speech on 9 May 1950. This date, the "birthday" of what is now the EU, is celebrated annually as Europe Day.EU HISTORY OF GROWTH
NNNNNThttp://europa.eu.int
There are five EU institutions, each playing a
specific role:
European Parliament (elected by the peoples of
the Member States);
Council of the European Union (representing the
governments of the Member States);
European Commission (driving force and executive
body);
Court of Justice (ensuring compliance with the
law);
Court of Auditors (controlling sound and lawful
management of the EU budget).
These are flanked by five other important bodies:
European Economic and Social Committee (expresses
the opinions of organised civil society on economic and social issues);
Committee of the Regions (expresses the opinions
of regional and local authorities);
European Central Bank (responsible for monetary
policy and managing the euro);
European Ombudsman (deals with citizens' complaints
about maladministration by any EU institution or body);
European Investment Bank (helps achieve EU objectives
by financing investment projects);
A number of agencies and other bodies complete
the system. The below countries are current members of The Eu or will be
members in the very near future. Belgium Denmark Germany Greece Spain France
Ireland Italy Luxembourg The Netherlands
Austria Portugal Finland Sweden United Kingdom
Czech Republic Estonia Cyprus Latvia Lithuania Hungary Malta Poland
Slovenia Slovakia Bulgaria Romania Turkey. In
May, 2004 Slovenia and several other countries from the old Soviet Communist
block will also be granted membership into The EU.
On 1 January 2002, the euro banknotes and coins were introduced in 12 Member States of the European Union, with seven different banknotes and eight coins. The euro has been a feature of the financial landscape since 1 January 1999. On 1 January 2002, it became a physical reality across Europe when the new euro banknotes and coins were introduced. The national central banks of the European Union, along with the European Central Bank, make up the European System of Central Banks (NCBs). The NCBs of Member States not participating in the current euro areas of Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom, have a special status which allows them to conduct their own national monetary policies, but not to take part in deciding and implementing monetary policy for the whole euro area. The Eurosystem constutes the national central banks of the euro area together with the ECB, known as the Eurosystem. The Eurosystem's primary objective is the maintenance of price stability. It meets its objectives through deciding and implementing monetary policy; conducting foreign exchange operations, and operating payment systems. The NCBs of the participating Member States played a key role in the smooth transition to the euro. Their responsibilities included, introducing the euro in their respective countries, managing the changeover from national currencies to the euro, creating the necessary systems to effectively circulate the euro banknotes and coins, withdrawing national currencies; and providing advice about and promoting the use of the euro.

The arrival of the euro, however, means much more than exchanging one currency for another. It involves individuals and businesses not only in the countries that have joined the single currency, but all over the world. It is in Europe's best interests to familiarise themselves and the global economy with the look and feel of the euro banknotes and coins. The new coins, over 50 billion of them, have one side common to all 12 countries and a reverse side specific to each country, while the 14.5 billion banknotes look the same throughout the euro area. Altogether, the banknotes and coins produced a total new currency of over €664 billion. The current 12 Member States of the European Union now participating in the common currency are Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, and Finland. Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom are members of the European Union but are not as yet currently participating in the single currency. Denmark is a member of the Exchange Rate Mechanism II (ERM II), which means that the Danish krone is linked to the euro, although the exchange rate is not fixed.
THE EURO NATIONAL FLAG
This is the European flag. It is the symbol not only of the European Union but also of Europe's unity and identity in a wider sense. The circle of gold stars represents solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe. The number of stars has nothing to do with the number of Member States. There are twelve stars because the number twelve is traditionally the symbol of perfection, completeness and unity. The flag will therefore remain unchanged regardless of future EU enlargements. The history of the flag goes back to 1955. At that time, the European Union existed only in the form of the European Coal and Steel Community, with just six Member States. But a separate body with a larger membership, the Council of Europe, had been set up several years earlier and was busy defending human rights and promoting European culture. The Council of Europe was considering what symbol to adopt for its own use. After much discussion, the present design was adopted - a circle of twelve gold stars on a blue background. In various traditions, twelve is a symbolic number representing perfection. It is also, of course, the number of months in a year and the number of hours shown on a clock face. The circle is, among other things, a symbol of unity. So the European flag was born, representing the ideal of unity among the peoples of Europe. The Council of Europe then encouraged other European institutions to adopt the same flag and, in 1983, the European Parliament took up the call. Finally, in 1985, the flag was adopted by all EU heads of State and government as the official emblem of the European Union, which, in those days, was called the European Communities. All European institutions have been using it since the beginning of 1986.

The two law enforcement agencies named Europol and Eurojust, have been set up to help the EU member states cooperate in the fight against organized international crime. This cooperation in criminal matters is the "third pillar" of the EU. Europol and Eurojust carry out very specific tasks in the context of the dialogue, mutual assistance, joint efforts and cooperation between the police, customs, immigration services and justice departments of the EU member states. Europol became fully operational in 1999; Eurojust was set up in 2002. Both agencies are based in The Hague, The Netherlands. Europol, the European Police Office, was set up in 1992 to handle Europe wide criminal intelligence. Europol's aim is to help the EU member states cooperate more closely and effectively in preventing and combating organized international crime. Europol supports member states by making it easier for national law enforcement agencies to exchange information, providing operational analysis, including providing expertise and technical support for investigations and operations. One of Europol's duties is to establish and maintain a computerized system to allow the input, access and analysis of data. A Joint Supervisory Body, comprising two data protection experts from each EU country, monitors the content and use of all personal data held by Europol. Europol is accountable to the Justice and Home Affairs Council, the justice and home affairs ministers of all the EU countries. The Europol Management Board comprises one representative from each EU country. The EUROPOL web site http://www.europol.eu.intEUROPOL

The Rise of The Roman Empire
-----------------
-
-
--------------------Charlemagne-------------Napoleon----------------Hitler
JANUARY 2004; Some call it The European Common Market, The ECC, The United States of Europe, but it is the rebirth of The Roman Empire. The ECC will grow to 25 countries this year, which will include eight former Soviet bloc countries. More work still needs to be completed in the unification process. The agreement and approval of a European Constitution and the equality of a nation's voting power, regardless of it's population, are the current the main delays of The Roman Empire's rebirth.
The fall of The Roman Empire occurred around 300-500 B.C. In 800 A.D. Charlemagne, the king of Franks, briefly began the rebuilding of the empire to some degree of success, but after his death, the empire fell apart rather quickly. In 1802, Napoleon's rise to rebuild the empire also met with disaster. France's foreign minister Dominique de Villepin published a book which vindicated Napoleon's vision of a future Great European Unity of the future. In the 1930s, Hitler loyalists instituted the salute " Heil Hitler," modeled after the " Hail Caesar " tribute. Hitler envisioned a German empire of Europe. In 1933 Italy's fascist Benito Mussolini declared that The Roman Empire must rise again. Britain's 1930s leading fascists Oswald Mosely, also cried for The Empire's return. The 1946 Zurich speech of Winston Churchill included the call for a United States of Europe.
Europe has really no choice but to incorporate and consolidate it's territory, economy, and it's military into a revived Roman Empire to survive in today's globalized world economy. The only super power in the world today has been The United States, after the fall of The Soviet Union in the 1990s. The military strength of the Asian nations, mainly China, may come close to the equality and military numbers of The United States, but in economics, technology, and nuclear capabilities, The United States has had no equal in the world since 1945. One could make a point that The Roman Empire already has been reborn, and it is stronger, more aggressive, and will not hesitate to crush it's enemies when it concerns threats to it's interests, and is the richest empire ever in world history. But the capitol of today's Roman Empire isn't in Rome, Italy. It's in Washington DC . But history has proven all empires will fall, from Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and eventually, The United States. The final and last world empire will be The One World Government.
The Unitied Kingdom & Big Brother
Controversial plans to introduce a compulsory identity card scheme have been unveiled in the Queen's Speech. The cards, which had to be dropped ahead of the election, will be linked to a National Identity Register holding information on all UK residents. Home Secretary Charles Clarke said there had been "technical" changes to the new bill to take account of previous objections to the plans. Ministers say the new Identity Cards Bill will help protect people from identity fraud and theft, and tackle illegal working and immigration abuse. They claim it will disrupt the use of false and multiple identities by terrorists and other criminals, and ensure free public services are used only by those entitled to them. The ID scheme will cost an estimated £3bn and see each UK citizen being issued with a "biometric" card bearing fingerprints and other personal details which will also be stored on a new National Identity Register database. The cards will be issued by a new Home Office executive agency, which will take over the functions of the UK Passport Service and work closely with the Home Office's Immigration and Nationality Directorate. In another blow to online privacy in The United Kingdom, The House of Lords passed a law where the government may place every e-mail and phone account under surveillance with only minor amendments. The director of Privacy International, Simon Davies was quoted, " I would have no hesitation in taking legalaction against a communication service who comply with a regulation that is unlawful, illegal, dangerous. This is a another shameful episode of the government snooping on it's citizens." Below are just a few known technologies in use today or will be in use in the near future.
Global Positioning Satellites ( Used to pinpoint or monitor various areas or individuals on the planet. )
Artificial Intelligence ( A self and independent computer or program which can resolve problems as with the human brain. )
Biometrics ( The various forms of identity verification which range from scanning the eye to fingerprints. )
Facial & Voice Recognition ( Computer programs used to recognize various features and pinpoint them to an individual. )
DNA ( From a simple Q-Tip swab
of a person's mouth, your DNA profile can be obtained and stored in a data
base to
ensure identification.or saved for future analysis.

The British government is proposing a law that every child born should be genetically screened and their DNA recorded and then stored in a government computer data base. The proposals were welcomed by many of Britain's medical researchers claiming the data would be crucial in screening new births for the purpose of diagnosis of future health care problems. The U.K. health minister, John Reid stated, "Increasing understanding of genetics will bring more accurate diagnosis, more personalized prediction of risk, new gene based drugs and therapies which would better target treatment and prevention."The director of the Welcome Trust, which funded the UK contribution to the Human Genome Project stated, " We are delighted that the government is making efforts to turn too genetic information which is crucial to the future of the British health care system." Opponents of this new law stated these DNA records would create a future genetic underclass of civilians who may be denied jobs, health care, and even loans due to a DNA record, which future employers could use to screen out high risk applicants. US President George W. Bush has reportedly backed proposals which prohibit such " genetic branding of human beings " But in the area of politics, you tell the people what they want to hear and not the truth. Already in the US the police can take DNA samples from individuals charged with an offense, which is then stored in national data-base. An amendment to The Criminal Justice Act is already under way where anyone who is arrested, or even suspected, would be subject to having their DNA sample entered into the national data-base. In July 2000, A surveillance bill granting the U.K. government sweeping powers to access e-mail and other encrypted Internet communications passed its final vote in the House of Commons and is set to become law on Oct. 5, 2000. Among other provisions, the Regulation of Investigator Powers (RIP) bill requires Internet service providers in the U.K. to track all data traffic passing through their computers and route it to the Government Technical Assistance Center (GTAC). The GTAC is being established in the London headquarters of the U.K. security service MI5 – the equivalent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. The House of Commons, which had already passed the bill.
U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair announced the approval of biometrics identify cards in October 2005 after The House of Commons passed the proposal with a 309 to 284 votes. The identity cards will store a citizen's finger prints, iris scan, and facial recognition technology. The U.K. biometrics identity cards may set the global standard for all nations in which the global population will be marked and scanned and the biometrics information then stored in a global data base.
London Hackers Quest To Stop Big Brother
The "2600" clubs are a kind of hacker "boy scout" organization and there are local 2600 chapters all around the globe. The name comes from the frequency that a dial tone emits; copying that frequency with a whistle allowed hackers in the 1970s to steal free telephone time. The London 2600 chapter, with about 100 or so members who come and go, meet once a month at the Webshack, which the hackers spell Websh@ck, accent on the last four letters, or a nearby McDonald's. Hackers often resort to hacking a corporation or government web site to get the attention of journalists, but that's not what their really about. In the minds of many 2600 members, it became clear what's on the mind of London's hackers: George Orwell. Britain's surveillance camera culture is terrifying in terms of Big Brother watching your every move. There's cameras every where. In many establishments there are five or six small cameras up on the ceiling, in plain view. And those are just the ones you can see. A multitude of stores around London have the bland black and white "C.C.T.V Camera System in Use" signs that greet shoppers as they enter the establishments. Then the elaborate network of government camera lenses that blanket all of London. They register car license plates as vehicles enter the financial district, sending off warnings if the cars don't exit after 20 minutes, designed to foil would be car bombers. They film faces of protesters who show up at any rally. In fact, police can now demand that anyone in London remove facial masks, under penalty of two year's jail time, so there's no way to foil the cameras.
Many state these elaborate surveillance systems
are nothing but fiction because of the multitude of man power it would
take to view and monitor all this video and audio data being gathered.
We heard these kinds of paranoid scenarios when the first telephone wire
taps became public. But wire taps require a police officer to be listening
on the other end. Having individual
officers skim through millions of hours of secret
video is hardly realistic. But a man is not needed anymore to handle all
these hours of gathered data. Big Brother instead uses the computer and
newly developed software to do their monitoring and gathering of information.
There is software such as Criminal Intelligence Visualization Software.
It recognizes faces and it's smart enough to look for unusual behaviors
or suspicious associations. It is in this environment, and this mindset,
that London's hackers do their work. They do not analyze computer systems
and learn how to break them out of spite, or some childish need to destroy:
They see themselves merely accumulating knowledge that could be used in
self defense if necessary. They are the
citizen's militia, the Freedom Fighters of the
Information Age, trying to stay one step ahead of technology that could
one day be turned against them and they're worried about what might happen
next. Britain and The United States and other world governments have set
up the architecture for the next world dictator. Big Brother's Anti Christ.
JULY 2000: Canada unveiled what it said was the world's most sophisticated DNA database, capable of identifying criminals through analysis of minute amounts of blood, semen, or skin cells. The DNA Data Bank will include samples of DNA -- the unique building blocks of every living thing from young offenders as well as adults who are convicted of serious crimes. It will also include DNA taken from crime scenes. DNA databases already exist in the United States, Germany, Britain, Norway, Finland, Belgium, and Denmark. Canadian officials said the new C$10 million database, located at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police headquarters in Ottawa, was the most automated and sophisticated of its kind. " I would think that Canada stands on firm ground as being one of the forerunners in this technology and certainly we've done a great deal to improve the speed of the analysis," said Dr. Ron Fourney, who is in charge of the database. " The innovations we've developed that make it unique will be the robotics and certainly the cost effectiveness," he told a news conference at the official launch. Solicitor General Lawrence MacAuley, the minister in overall charge of Canada's law enforcement agencies, said the database was a powerful tool that would change the way in which police conducted many criminal investigations. " It will help solve serious crimes more quickly and assist in identifying repeat offenders more effectively and with more certainty. It will help police to focus their resources on key suspects by excluding the innocent more quickly," he said. The Mounties have been using DNA analysis since 1989 and the new database marks a major step forward in the fight against violent, sexual and repeat offenders, who will be required to give blood samples. The database will cost C$5 million a year to run and takes five days to process a single sample. Police estimate some 30,000 samples from known serious offenders, suspected criminals, and crime scenes will be processed a year. " When we started 10 years (ago) we might have needed a biological sample which was the size of a penny. Today's technology is so revolutionary that 10 percent of what would fit on the head of a pin is all we'd need to do a case," Fourney said. Fourney said Canada was negotiating with other nations that possess DNA databanks to set up a system whereby genetic information can be exchanged. Samples from convicted criminals will be kept permanently on file so that they can be processed again once more advanced technology becomes available. " I think the DNA Data Bank will be as revolutionary a tool for law enforcement today as fingerprinting was when it was first introduced 100 years ago," said Superintendent Lee Fraser, manager of Canada's Forensic Identification Service. " Our goal is to catch criminals and in the game of crime, knowing who the bad guys are, being able to single them out and linking them irrefutably to their crimes is a very important tool," he told the news conference.Canada Takes DNA Database Lead
Big Brother Takes Away Australian Citizens Registered GunsThe results are in from the governments forceful taking of registered firearms from Australia's citizens in 1999. One year after gun owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, including semi-automatic .22 rifles and shotguns, a program costing the government over 500 million dollars, the results are a dramatic increase in criminal activity has been experienced. Gun control advocates respond "Just wait... we'll be safer... you'll see...". Yes indeed! After 12 months of statistics the crime of homocides rose 3%, assaults rose 8%., and armed robberies increases a staggering 44% This type of governmental thinking should warn all citizens of any country to be wary of the threat of this type of Big Brother mentality. Of course, when Big Brother comes to YOUR door and not only take away your guns, but perhaps your property, your money, and even you, he doesn't want the citizens to be able to defend themselves.
Parent's Fear Big Brother's Monitoring of Their ChildrenThe mother Danielle Littflefield of Fairfax County,VA. was appalled to learn about the plans for a $11 million computer
data base that would store personal information on over 150,000 school kids which would include personal and academic information, the income of a student's parents, student's report cards, behavioral problems, disabilities and disciplinary history
which would begin from pre-school all the way through college. " Do we really need to be saving records of a third graders
school yard fight for future employers to look at?" Mrs. Littlefield asked. Parent's have lost their fight to their children's
privacy due to the 1994 congressional mandate. Over a dozen states have already begun linking through the Internet,
building their sophisticated data bases on American children which is organized and ran by the US Department of Education.
Fairfax County Information Superintendent John Gray was quoted as saying, " It's cheaper and more efficient for schools to collect as much information as possible and share it widely as possible." It will be just a matter of time before children will
be forced to submit DNA samples which will be added to Big Brother's data base. I myself foresee DNA samples of new born
children being collected at birth within the next five years.
THE TECHNOLOGY
From the Industrial Age to The Information Age
Information Technology has grown at a alarming rate in storing information with increases of 30% growth per year. In 2002 there was a estimated 5 exabytes of data. A exabyte is 5 billion gigabytes or the equivalent of 83 million computers hard drives. The Internet is now the leading source for global information and it's stability is crucial as the world has moved from the industrial age to the information age. A government's ability to gather and analyze international intelligence is paramount when establishing foreign policies. No one is immune from being watched and monitored. The coming generation of computer technology will include advanced network sensors, advanced sensors on GPS satellites, nano sensors so small they can be embedded in single piece of paper, in the lining of clothing, and any international currency. These sensors will have advanced artificial intelligence technology which will supply " early warning signals " to the Big Brother intelligence, law enforcement, and military communities. These " early warning signals " will suggest a specific event is likely to occur and provide crucial intelligence and analysis to the Big Brother communities.-----------
-----------THE
NEW GLOBAL BAR CODE
Collaborative commerce is not just a practice
between trading partners. It must be practiced between companies and their
technology vendors. Thirty years ago, a group of leaders from industry
and technology worked together to address a single, domestic business need.
The result of that effort was the Universal Product Code which changed
the world of commerce forever.
New changes will be implemented by January 01,
2005 concerning the North American Bar Code as compared to the Global Bar
Code. While the rest of the world uses a 13 digit bar code, North American
companies have preferred the 12 digit bar code system, but not anymore.
The Uniform Code Council that oversees bar code standards in The United
States and Canada announced the adoption of the 13 digit code and the code
must be compliant by January 1, 2005. For the first time in history, a
true global standard for bar codes will be achieved. The Bar Code itself
consists of FOUR identity catagories.
1. The first set of two numbers ( 00 through
13 ) consist of the companies global origin. THE COUNTRY
CODE
2. The second set of four numbers identifies
the individual manufacture.
THE COMPANY CODE
3. The third set of four numbers identifies the
manufacturers individual product.
THE ARTICLE CODE
4. The fourth set is one number that is
the result of the previous 12 numbers.

------ THE
MATRIX
--------------------------------------------
The MATRIX contains 20 billion records from private databases. It is the largest database on the planet as far as the public knows. It has received $12 Million in funding from the federal government. The project is billed as a tool for state and local police, but organizers are considering giving access to the Central Intelligence Agency. In light of the recent decisions by New York and Wisconsin officials to terminate their participation in the controversial Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange, more commonly known as MATRIX, the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania today called on the General Assembly to bring Pennsylvania’s participation in MATRIX under legislative control. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oregon, South Carolina and Utah have also dropped out of their participation in the MATRIX, at least this is what they are saying. MATRIX is a federally funded, but controlled by a private company, Seisint, Inc. of Boca Raton, Florida. Seisint was founded in 1998 and has locations in Florida, Virginia, and London, England. Using MATRIX, governmental agents can instantaneously access information on firearms and hunting licenses, motor vehicle and driver record information, criminal history records, bankruptcy filings, professional licenses and voter registration information and numerous citizens are concerned about maintaining strict confidentiality of this information database, particularly data regarding driver’s licenses and firearm ownership. Steve Lillienthal, Policy Analyst at the Free Congress Foundation, called for states to enact laws to protect Americans from law enforcement databases. Lillienthal characterized MATRIX as a system that creates "more opportunities for misuse of your data, whether it is your credit history, drivers license information or photographs, Social Security number, business records, and whatever else they have on you in their files."
SPYWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER---------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------KEYLOGGER HARDWARE
If you use a computer at work, school, or even in your home, odds are you are being monitored by spyware. We have reported on this technology before, but the era of only the government of spying on you, now has your employer, teacher, children, parents, or your spouse monitoring you as well. Spyware comes in many forms. One way is in the forms of Cookies, a spy-text which is placed on your hard drive by visiting numerous web sites. These Cookies track your web surfing habits, and basically creates a computer profile of the user. Once the profile is completed, you are sent e-mails, pop-up ads, spam, and so forth, trying to sell you products which match your Internet interests. Spyware is also installed by YOURSELF without your knowledge. Numerous program downloads dubbed as freeware are far from being free. Before downloading a software program, you will see a box that states you agree to the terms of the download. If you have ever seen these terms, I doubt if most Harvard Law Professors could decipher the meaning of the terms you agree too, so most people just download the program. Within the program are various forms of spyware that are now monitoring your computer habits. With or without your knowledge, a keylogger may be installed on your computer. Once installed, this keylogger will allow unknown third parties to view your every move, which include, recording your keystrokes, chat sessions, passwords, web sites visited, e-mails sent or received, downloads, and much more. Such companies as PC Activity Monitor Pro claim their snoopware is a invisible and undetectable keylogger program for both networked and personal PCs. It captures all the users PC activity and saved to an encrypted log file. Other web sites such as http://pc-police.nethint.com & http://www.keyloggers.com make the same claims, plus the monitored log file can be optionally sent via e-mail to a specified address (or saved to a specified shared resource in LAN environment) for further inspection and analysis. The information industry has seen the growth of companies specializing in the development of computer surveillance technologies.
The most common and annoying type of spyware is
unscrupulously placed on your computer to track surfing habits. The other
type of spyware, sometimes known as spy software, is used to monitor or
record all activities occurring on the computer.
Some of you might have already experienced this
scenario. You get to work on Monday morning and upon turning on your computer,
you realize that the settings for your homepage have been changed. No longer
are you directed to your company's website but instead to some new Internet
search engine with links to banks, gambling, pills, porn, and more. But
a change in your homepage settings is the least of your worries. Spyware
can track your surfing habits, abuse your Internet connection by sending
confidential data to a third party, profile your shopping preferences and
alter important system files, all of which can be done without you having
any knowledge of it. There are currently hundreds and thousands of computers
that become infected with spyware worldwide, everyday. This international
form of cyber espionage is so recent that most people have yet to receive
information about the nature of the hazards, the risks involved, or the
tools necessary to combat the threat. Spyware can get into a computer as
a software virus or as the result of installing a new program. Many popular
programs that are distributed free on the Internet are actually comprised
of some sort of spyware agent You must detect what Spyware is residing
on your system as well as where it has decided to lay its ugly nest. There
are currently hundreds of specialized software programs to detect its presence.
Once found, all that is needed is to delete the programs. Hardware keyloggers,
which are small devices about the size of an AA battery that are plugged
in-line with your keyboard in order to record your keystrokes. However,
consumers can easily spot a hardware keylogger. They can basically capture
and transmit everything you do on your computer and relay that information
to another party without your knowledge or consent.
--------------------------------------------ANALYTICAL
LINGUISTICS RESEARCH
------------------------------------
An article in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin
titled "Statement Analysis; What Do Suspect's Words Really Reveal ? " which
is credited to FBI academy instructor, Susan H. Adams, who teaches statement
analysis as part of an FBI agent's interviewing and interrogation course.
The FBI trains its agents to make a preliminary review of a written statement
to be analyzed. All pronouns are circled, missing pronouns are noted, changes
in the suspect's voice tone are underlined. The basics of this technique
include the norm, which is typical verbal information indicating a truthful
statement. The other is to look for any deviations from the norm, indicating
a suspect's statement might be concealing the truth. Pronoun examples include,
I, me, you, it. This FBI theory concludes those who are giving a statement
using the pronoun "I, " which is first person singular, are being truthful,
while those who omit the word "I, " may be an indication that the suspect
is concealing something. Nouns are words used to name a person, place,
thing, and can take on various meanings in an interview. In crimes involving
family violence, the omitting of certain words or phrases may indicate
a suspect's personal involvement. The balance of a suspect's statement
begin with," a before," " during ," "and after", a criminal interview.
The theory is the more balanced the statement, the more the statement is
truthful, but any part of the statement that is lacking or incomplete,
the suspect's statement is probably false. Linguistic analysis is nothing
new as it was used in The Lindbergh baby kidnapping case in 1932. Errors
in spelling occurred repeatedly in notes sent to the Lindberghs by the
abductors, who were eventually captured. The 1970s Patricia Hearst kidnapping
case by Symbionese Liberation Army ( SAL) is another example. A Dr. Miron
prepared a series of reports for the FBI based on the received tape recordings
from the abductors. Dr. Miron accurately described the individual who called
himself " Cinque " which turned out to be Donald DeFreeze. Dr. Miron accurately
predicted that Hearst would join SAL to participate in crimes, and that
these individuals were suicidal and would die in a police shoot out. Other
linguistic studies include psycholinguistic analysis. This method is the
study of combining the speech pattern recognition with the facial expressions
made during a suspect's statement. While linguistic analysis may be a helpful
tool to law enforcement investigations, they are not permitted as evidence
in court. The issue at hand is does linguistic analysis provide law enforcement
with the " probable cause " to arrest and jail a person? Does it mean if
your being questioned over the phone concerning a possible crime and your
voice tone or your wording is analyzed as untruthful also constitute an
arrest or making a false statement to a police officer? The answer is yes
due to our current laws.

Georgia Tech has developed a new digital smelling
sensor named, " surface acoustic wave" or SAW for short. SAW was initially
designed to detect narcotics where a chemical is detected by measuring
the disturbance it creates in sound waves traveling across the surface
of a quartz crystal. The SAW sensor can also be used to detect explosive
elements, biological agents, or anything that emits an odor. The SAW chip's
superior accuracy overcomes other items that try to conceal illegal contraband
such as coffee grounds which are often used to cover the scent of cocaine.
The sensor may be used in a hand held device and is already in use at The
Georgia Bureau of Investigation for drug busts. Georgia Tech's Ph. D William
Hunt works with fellow researchers on SAW and claim it's smelling capabilities
are far superior to any known existing computer or canine.
----------Biometrics & Nanotechnolgy
-----
New advances in monitoring technology are increasing to the point that putting these type of technologies in practical and everyday use have reached the point where they are financially profitable. Such devices as the thumb optical scanner pictured above which is manufactured by Veridiacom of Sunnyvale, California uses silicon or solid state readers that rely on tiny capacitors that can sense a fingerprints topography. Such devices will be employed by all types of industries which include the military, law enforcement and financial institutions. The optical scanner uses an array of thousands of charge-cuopled devices, or CCDs, to take a digital gray-scale image of the ridges and valleys on a finger's print. Such recognition such as the scanning of a individuals finger or facial features would fall under Biometrics. Already the Bavarian Police are combining this Biometric technology with standard forms of identification which include passports to drivers license. Other technologies include Nanotechnology. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter. Nanotechnology scientists will use this science by manipulating the enzymes already located in the human body. These enzymes will perform as nano battery so certain chip implants will work at almost a 100% accuracy rate. Already the world's smallest rotary motor-enzyme nano machine called ATPase has been shown to work with a near 100% accuracy rate.
--------The InFoDot & RFID Tag
The InFoDot is a tracking and memory instrument designed to replace our current bar-code found on almost all items bought are sold. It's unique capabilities are it's use of a DataMatrix ECC200 and can scan images from angles whereas the bar code can not. More capabilities of InFoDot will be it's tracking and monitoring and providing information on the history of machines it's applied to. The company wwww.idplate.com has miniature the size of this monitor to the size of a small screw drivers tip. The RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TAG ( RFID ) is similar in nature. Microsoft along with other major manufacturers intend to install these units into computers, appliances, communication devices such as your home telephone and cell phones, and more than likely, human beings in the near future.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The smaller size and advanced technology
of computer chips is advancing at a fantastic rate. Pictured above are
samples of RFID computer chips that are placed inside the D mint mark of
a American Dime.
The evolution in computer chips and their miniature size has advanced to the point beyond human comprehension. While most citizens are aware that GPS tracking technology already exists in their cell phones and automobiles, few are aware of the tracking devices they already carry in their wallet. The latest global credit cards already have a chip implanted in the cards magnetic strip. Almost all drivers who have renewed their drivers license are unaware of the chip implant that lies in the bar code of their license. I myself found this rather disturbing and decided to try a experiment using a advanced bug detector which indicates and detects radio frequencies. I took out a credit card and a brand new American $100 bill and I scanned both items, and both were indeed were implanted with some form of a miniature type chip sensor. One might ask why any government would embed it's currency with a RFID type chip. The answer is simple. In any investigation that deals with drug lords, people who finance terrorism and other criminal activities, just follow the money. A currency embedded with a chip can be traced from the mint to the wallet or bank account of it's current holder.

In December of 2004, testing on the proposed UHF Generation 2 specifications were completed at the MET Labs Santa Clara facility ( http://www.metlab.com ). MET Labs is EPCglobal's official testing partner. Results provided proof that products could be built based on the proposed candidate specification. The EPCglobal UHF Generation 2 protocol, a consensus standard developed by more than 60 of the world's leading technology companies. This final phase testing of prototype chips, tags and readers are designed to meet the EPCglobal UHF Generation 2 specification. MET will collaborate with EPCglobal to develop a Performance Testing Specification. In addition, MET will develop and manage a program to accredit supplier and third party labs for the capability of testing and certifying tagged objects. In short, a path leading us into the 21st century where every consumer product, as well as the consumer themselves, will be tracked on a global scale.

The trend of electronic detection is heading
toward the ability to monitor not only human beings, but food, clothing,
transportation, global currency and the tracking of consumer good from
the manufacturer to the warehouse, to the store, and finally to the purchaser's
home. The current technology is already in use today by using such technologies
as RFID tags, nano-senors with electronic beacons, veri-chips plus numerous
other devices in which most use The Global Positioning Satellite ( GPS
) technology. Global entities include The United States Department of Defense,
Wal-Mart, and the Gillette Company are already using this monitoring device
and have incorporated it into their every day operations. One Company that
is one of the leading industries in this area is EPCGlobal
Inc.( www.epcglobalinc.org ) located in Lawrenceville New Jersey.
EPCglobal is a joint venture between EAN International and the Uniform
Code Council (UCC) created to promote the (EPC) Network as a global, multi-industry
standard for supply chain identification through the use of RFID technology.
The EPC network enables computers to 'see' physical objects, enabling manufacturers
to track and trace items automatically throughout the supply chain. The
EPC Network was developed by an academic research project headquarters
at M.I.T. with labs at five additional research universities.
-----LINKSYS
CAM & MINITATURE FLYING DRONE UAV CAM
-----------------
The Linksys wireless-B Internet Cam can be mounted
almost anywhere and can send compressed MPEG-4 images to any computer in
the world with a internet connection. The Linksys Cam has it's own self
standing server, it can detect motion in a room or the area being surveyed
and then e-mails these images to any e-mail of their choice. For those
who want to monitor their baby sitter, their kids, or even mount one in
a area across from your local police station, a suspected crooked judge
or even a elected officials house whom you suspect of criminal activity,
then you can play Big Brother too. And the flying cams known as a UAV or
drone, have been in use for the last few years, especially by the military
and law enforcement. These flying cams can be as small 15CM with a current
flying capacity of 30 minutes and can download live color images of the
area being surveyed. The military use these UAVs in various ways, such
as sending them over a area which is engulfed by hills, trees, and other
obstacles. The law enforcement and intelligent agencies also use these
spies in the skies to survey and collect data over American communities
whom they suspect may be infested with drug dealers, organized crime, or
any citizen they suspect of criminal chicanery. And in the eyes of the
government, all Americans are suspected of something they deem as unwholesome.
--Big Brother Scanners
Above devices like Recognition Systems, Inc. fingerprint scanners can be used for entry into classrooms, unlocking your front door, accessing your mail, ATM machines and other convenient commodities to numerous to mention. The days spent searching for your keys, remembering passwords will go the the way of the dinosaur. The trick here is Big Brother will have a 24 hour a day monitoring system on you that will record all of your activities during the day you use these upcoming devices. Another way will be the government's school safety plan that will force students to submit their finger prints, because many schools will have these devices installed to be sure the right people are entering their school, and to check on students who are not attending or ditching school. The tracking of humans from birth to death is here and a life long record will be kept on all citizens. Former president Bill Clinton has already approved a bill that would make such electronic signatures as binding and legal as ink and pen.--
Most of us hardly notice the surveillance cameras watching you at the grocery store or the bank. But lately those lenses have been looking for far more than shoplifters or the cameras perched outside surveying the parking lots for any illegal
activities. Engineers at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, CA, report that a number of large retailers have implemented surveillance systems that record and interpret customer movements, using software from Almaden's BlueEyes research project. BlueEyes is developing ways for computers to anticipate users posturing by gathering video data on eye movement and facial expression. Your gaze might rest on a Web site heading, for example, and that would prompt your computer to find similar links and to call them up in a new window. But the first practical use for the research turns out to be snooping on shoppers. BlueEyes software makes sense of what the cameras see to answer key questions for retailers, including, how many shoppers ignored a promotion? How many stopped? How long did they stay? Did their faces register boredom or delight? How many reached for the item and put it in their shopping carts? BlueEyes works by tracking pupil, eyebrow and mouth movement. When monitoring pupils, the system uses a camera and two infrared light sources placed inside the product display. One light source is aligned with the camera's focus; the other is slightly off axis. When the eye looks into the camera aligned light, the pupil appears bright to the sensor, and the software registers the customer's attention. This type
of software is similar to what Big Brother used at the 2001 Super Bowl, where their testing of recognition software, could
scan thousands of people's faces, then compare those scanned images to known felons whose face is registered in a world
wide data bank police agency such as INTERPOL or The FBI computer systems.
Beyond The Bar Code
Your familiar with the bar codes that are on almost every product you buy. Those black stripes that are scanned at your friendly grocers may be replaced in the near future by a more effective method of identification branding. MIT has been developing the Smart Tag, a tiny radio frequency transmitter capable of broadcasting digital identification numbers. The smart tag would be so small it could replace the bar code on every product and be far more effective by being integrated into the Internet. The current prototype may be read from any angle plus it contains 96 bits of data. A 56 byte tag could number every grain of rice consumed on the planet. Today's radio frequency tags are used to tag livestock and manage inventory. MIT hopes to tie their smart tag via the Internet for more effective tracking and handling of tagged items. In theory these smart tags could also tag humans. Using the global satellite system ( GPS )Big Brother could easily tag humans with these tags. A individual could be traced for his movements 24 hours a day and then the data would be fed into a computer for further analysis.

BIG BROTHER EYE IN THE SKY OR SPACE STATION?
We have discussed the Global Satellite Positions (GPS) many times in our reporting. The United States "STAR WARS" defense against ICBMs launched against American soil is based on the theory of a space station or satellite that would use laser technology to blast these launched nuclear missiles in flight before they reach American soil. What I find interesting is if this program were deployed and it was successful, what what stop this same type of laser technology from blasting Global Satellite Positions from ground based facilities? Another troubling aspect is the explosion of a ICBM in the earth's atmosphere and the effects of nuclear fall out. The first employment of the STAR WARS defense element's system could be in place by 2004 beginning in Alaska as it's first deployment area. I find their is no winner in either scenario as I myself would rather be killed in a nuclear attack than live in a world as a survivor of a nuclear war. The Space Station which orbits our planet is a combined effort of several nations. This space station could easily be used much like the (GPS) in the tracking and monitoring everything to vehicles, people, livestock, and all forms of telecommunications. Former United States President Ronald Reagan's vision of STAR WARS may not be popular as to the building of some type of a missile defense system due to the fact that The Pentagon will undoubtedly use this technology for the deployment of offensive space satellite weapons. The United States is moving ahead with the Air Force's Airborne Laser program. The United States Air Force's Vision 2020 and the January 2001 Rumsfeld reports on the need of a space weapons defensive ( and offensive weapons no doubt. ) program are inevitable. Space war fare is a threatening and frightful aspect to human civilization, and will be a fact of life by the year 2015.A Space Station or Big Brother's Future "Eye In The Sky"
-----------------SATELLITES AND SECURITY BY BIG BROTHER
Above is the US Navstar Global Positioning satellite which will provide data for civilian and military applications. Before the 2003 US~IRAQ war, US Air Force director of space operations, General Franklin Blaisdell was quoted, " The United States is so dominate in space that I pity any nation who would stand up against us. " Donald Rumsfeld warned that the growing dependence on commercial and military satellites was leading us into a possible Space Pearl Harbor. The military wants intense development of space weapons which would make the United States the political and military space empire of the 21st century. Such rhetoric is normal US policy. In May 2002 FBI agent Kenneth Williams completed a series of investigations concerning the intelligence community and the report was finally released in July, 2003. The report which was released clearly showed the inability of the intelligence community such as the CI
