Big Brother Is Watching You!

      The Rise & Fall of the Human Empire

The machine will link 512 processors, the brains of computers, in four towers that together weigh four tons. Although the unit will be the most powerful commercial computer in Europe, it will be only the second fastest on the continent. The fastest as of June 2000, is a machine France is building for its defense establishment. The Finnish computer will replace a machine from Cray Research, once the dominant force in super computing and now regularly displaced by IBM and other companies. IBM clawed its way to the top of the super computing hill with technological advances such as copper processors -- which replace aluminum wiring connecting transistors within chips with copper, a less costly and better conductor of electricity -- and the Deep Blue victory. Before the win by Deep Blue -- the Finnish computer will be 150 times faster than the chess playing machine -- IBM was No. 3 in a ranking of 500 super computer installations worldwide. Since then, IBM has captured the top spot as its share of 500 top super computer sites reached 141 systems, a 36 percent increase from a year ago. The computer has come a long way since Univac 1, the world's first commercial computer was unveiled in 1951 and was put in use for The United States Census Bureau. I find ironic the world first computer was designed to monitor citizens

IBM's Big Bad Computer

------War on Drugs a Big Brother Scam

Ex  San Jose Police Chief  Joe McNamara put it in a more believable scenario. McNamara stated during his 18 years as police chief  he had hired numerous officers who had used drugs in the past. These officers, like the president of the United States, members of Congress, or even your next door neighbor have at some time used drugs or smoked a joint, but they
didn't go out and begin a crime spree, but they over came their addiction by not being thrown in prison, but overcame it buy the willpower to quit or search for medical help to end their craving for what ever substance they were addicted too. McNamara also stated that when he was a officer in Harlem New York, hard core drug users would steal to support their habit only because the price of  illegal drugs are sometimes inflated in price as much as 17,000 % .But McNamara also observed that people who were addicted to prozac, valium, methadone were viewed as patients and did not go out on these crime sprees the government would have you believe. I know this from my own experience with drugs. I got over the habit by myself and never went on any crime spree. I have remained drug free for 16 years now and own a very successful model agency. One thing I find asinine, is watching those television commercials on drugs, where some suggest you to inform the police even if it's the kids
parents. Then the very next commercial is Joe Montana or John Elway holding a bottle of beer. Alcohol and cigarettes
have killed people a thousand times over than all the drugs combined, yet those who use them remain prison free because
the government knows trying to ban these two products would outrage the public and have the politicians running for their
political lives.

During the first 130 years in America, a citizen was guaranteed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which included the right to ingest whatever chemicals or food one desired. If you doubt this, remember the words of  Thomas Jefferson who said a government that controls what it's citizens ingest, eat, and the kinds of medicine they wish to consume, then the government will soon try to control what a citizen thinks. Marijuana was outlawed as a illegal drug in the 1930.s. The movie Reefer Madness portrayed people who smoked  weed would go insane, jump out of  windows and other ridiculous
scenarios. This movie of misinformation had a big effect on the public and it was a major factor in the decision to
outlaw marijuana in the 1930's. As with alcohol in America in the 1920's, The  Prohibition Law caused the crimes and  in a sense , the government itself created the Mafia a billion dollar industry. The throwing of people in prison, which I might ad, inmates can get almost any drug they want while in jail, which in most cases are smuggled  in by corrupt prison guards.
This practice has been proven useless and billions of dollars that have been wasted on the mythical War on Drugs could have been put to use in other programs ranging from education to health care.

In 1914 congress passed the Harrison Act leading to the unlawful use or possession of drugs. Prior to that time there was no black market for drugs. This opened the market again for organized crime to grow financially stronger thus leading to the bribing and corruption of judges and all the way down to the cop on the street. Drug historian David Musto M.D. of Yale University stated that the public use of opium had steadily declined 15 years prior to the Harrison Act. Why does the thought of responsible citizens controlling their own lives scare the government so much? One notion which you might find hard to contemplate is I would legalize all drugs. This simple act would wipe out the black market, organized crime distribution of drugs, clear cities of these gangs who sell crack on the street. Why would a person who is interested in buying cocaine from a gang member for $100 where he could go to his nearest drug store and buy it for $5 ? Also the legalization of all drugs would ease this idiotic ideology of the War on Drugs. The money from taxes alone would be staggering as drugs are the second most
money making business in the world. Marijuana now is the biggest crop in America through in house growing rooms. We could decrease the money spent on drug traffickers since they would no longer exist. We could apply the funds from taxed drugs to more important things such as education, disease research and social security and also repair and update our nation's aging electrical power grid.

The Worlds Top Three Money Making Industries as of 1998 (Estimates)
1. The Selling of Military War Fare Technology and Weapons $800 Billion
2. The Selling Of Drugs $600 Billion
3. The Oil Industry        $500 Billion

All technology is expensive when first introduced, but the price declines dramatically as new programming and software becomes available. Wim van Eck, a dutch scientist wrote an article in Computers and Security Journal way back in 1985 stating that basically, all one would need to accomplish his VDT goal is a normal black and white TV receiver, a directional antenna and a antenna amplifier.

HAL is Coming

Revelation Chapter 13:

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Now the research for artificial intelligence has been going on for decades and many see the first major break through was the

1. Order wire taps or a search without a warrant.
2. Restrict the discovery of evidence to who may see it.
3. Impede the accessed defense lawyers access to their client or require that an entire jury have security clearance.
4. In short, they can throw you in jail for as long as they wish too with any false or fabricated accusation against you.

Congress and The Supreme Court have given government prosecutors such powers in order to protect against terrorism and other acts of violence against the United States. Jonathan Turley, who is a national security professor at George Washington University stated," The government routinely makes outlandish allegations about national security to force a plea bargain on the
accused."

It is quite clear the biggest threat to national security is the government's statements of  threats to national security. Some factions of America's national investigator agencies are nothing short of crooks, hoods, and fascists hiding behind the cloak of  threats to national security they so cleverly devised in order to harass, threaten and imprison those they do not like. It has nothing to do with any threat to our security. It has everything to do with power corrupts. As of the subject of national security,
a good example is the assassination of  John F. Kennedy. One would think that the coffin he was placed in right after the assassination in Dallas that the coffin would have been preserved for our national archives, but it was not. It had been over
25 years until the government revealed what had happened to the coffin and where it was due to threats to national security.
The coffin is not stored for our history nor is it in any government storage facility. The coffin was dumped in the ocean in undisclosed location. Can a coffin be considered a threat to national security. You do the math.

Big Brother IMMUNE From Prosecution?

     --------London Hackers Quest To Stop Big Brother

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.

The COBOT Monster

But the reality of a brain implant that can monitor and transmit human thought to a monitoring machine, in some ways, is quite disturbing. Make no mistake about it that this technology could be abused by the military for the process of the thought control. Such brain implants could be installed into the military personnel and it's soldiers. There is nothing Big Brother would like is more control over it's subjects. Once the government has thought control over the military, the citizens would be next in line for such scientific study and control. The government doing dangerous tests on it's own citizens with out the public's knowledge has been going on since nuclear and  biological elements were spread over the state of Nevada decades ago. The military has
put it's own soldiers under such tests without the soldiers knowledge to see the effects of exposure to nuclear and biological elements. From making humans into machines and machines into human  is a technology advancing every day. MIT scientist
Victor Zue is developing software where you can actually ask a computer any question, and as a human, the computer recognizes the question, and with analysis, can give back a answer in nano seconds. The computer would be a self thinking, self thought processing machine that will be able to act and think as a human. Mr. Zue is developing software where a computer
may recognize human voice. The software basically uses the form of audio waves that a computer can understand, rather than
the human process of hearing vowels or vocal transmissions of speech. Mr. Zue's software that  he calls MERCURY translates
speech into audio waves, and then into a spectrogram which uses probability models to identify what words were spoken. By
the year 2017 computer/robot (COBOT) machines will be human like tools that can think, reason and process thought on it's own and will eventually pass man as the dominate species in decisions concerning world events and policy. To keep up with all this advancing technology the government  has granted LOCKHEED MARTIN a $53,000,000 contract to upgrade The United States twelve GPS spy and communications satellites. The upgrade should be finished by the year 2007, some eight years sooner than originally planned.

In my final analysis, the advancing of brain implants, the humanizing of computers and the advanced upgrades to Big Brothers
global satellite system leads us all to rethink the current events going on in human history. The One World Government is a
reality and the marking and tracing of the world's population is coming soon, perhaps within the next 15 to 20 years if not sooner. The COBOT machines will be the tools to make sure all humans are monitored and under 24 hour surveillance.

Final Word

                                                            A simple example is below.

Big Brothers Facial Scanning of the World

Eugene Volokh, a law professor at UCLA, thinks the practice is constitutional when it takes place at a public event. "There's no Fourth Amendment problem if the government is simply observing,  or even recording,  what goes on in public," Volokh says. "For constitutional purposes, that's just not a search, because there's no legitimate expectation of privacy. Nobody thinks that their appearance at the Super Bowl is something that is hidden from the roving eye." Police have long used high powered binoculars to monitor crowds at sporting events. And nobody says a cop shouldn't scan the crowd to try to recognize someone on the FBI's most wanted list. Now this all seems like intelligent feed back, but do not be fooled. This is a major step for the mandatory monitoring of the human race. Many are fooled thinking they will be safe inside their own home, but this another myth. The Global Satellite systems are equipped to pick up thermal energy inside any dwelling, ( Body heat emitted, the same function theory as in night vision. )Marc Rotenberg, director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, says automated face matching is different from current practice. " This is not a cop with a set of binoculars looking for rowdy fans."  Rotenberg, who served on an American Bar Association panel on the topic, says "there appears to be no independent review or accountability in the use of the system. What happens if there is abuse?"

Four companies, Graphco Technologies, Raytheon, Visage Technology and VelTek International, teamed up to provide
the face recognition system, which was used by local, state and federal police during the game and the week that led up
to it. Graphco says its FaceTrac software was set up to scan crowds and sensitive stadium areas for faces, build " face
print" templates and recognize matches against images stored in a database. In a ending note. Jaysnet is not trying to scare you, but make you and the general public more aware of the future of Big Brother and The One World Government, which will monitor and mark all the inhabitants of the planet. It is unfolding before our very eyes so be aware, be cautious, be ready to fight and keep your Bible and faith in God closer than ever in your heart.

Big Brother Eye Scan Test

U.S. Supreme Court States Scan America, No Warrant Needed

--Big Brothers World Government One Step Closer

Seizing computers: Believe it or not, the feds aren't usually supposed to haul away your computer gear and impound it for the next half decade. Instead, they're supposed to scroll through the hard drives and either print out or copy files. But if your computer is an "instrumentality" of a crime, if they claim it's being used to trade kiddy porn, for instance, don't expect to see it anytime soon. Off site searches also may be necessary if agents have reason to believe that the computer has been 'booby trapped' by a savvy criminal, says the Justice Department. Technically adept users may know how to trip-wire their computers with self destruct programs that could erase vital evidence if the system were examined by anyone other than an expert. In these cases, it is best to seize the equipment and permit an off site expert to disarm the program before any search occurs. "No knock" searches: Conservative activists may hate this, but "no knock" searches, where kevlar clad goons toting M-16s break through your front door without warning, aren't going away. If anything, the Justice Department seems to think they're even more necessary when dealing with computer crimes. Technically adept computer hackers have been known to use 'hot keys,' computer programs that destroy evidence when a special button is pressed. If agents knock at the door to announce their search, the suspect can simply press the button and activate the program to destroy the evidence," the manual says. It doesn't end there: The Justice Department cites a 1997 case, Richards v. Wisconsin, in which the Supreme Court said agents can conduct a no knock search even if the judge granting the warrant didn't approve one. That's allowed when agents have a "reasonable suspicion" that the subject of the search could destroy evidence or obstruct the investigation.

Secret searches: Call it the latest trend in law enforcement: Surreptitious breaking and entering of homes and offices. In one recent secret search case related to computers, the feds sneaked into the office of Nicodemo S. Scarfo, the son of Philadelphia's former mob boss, who allegedly ran a loan shark operation in north New Jersey. Once there, they secretly installed software to sniff Scarfo's PGP pass phrase so they could decrypt his communications. Civil libertarians argue secret searches are unconstitutional. "Sneak and peek searches may prove useful in searches for intangible computer data. For example, agents executing a sneak and peek warrant to search a computer may be able to enter a business after hours, search the computer, and then exit the business without leaving any sign that the search occurred," the Justice Department says. The DOJ argues that secret searches are permissible, despite rule 41(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which requires agents to notify the person whose home or office has been broken into. But the document admits that courts have "struggled" to reconcile this idea with the U.S. Constitution's privacy guarantees. To clear up any doubt, in mid 1999 the Justice Department proposed legislation that would let police obtain surreptitious warrants and "postpone" notifying the person whose property they entered for 30 days. After vocal objections from civil liberties groups, the administration backed away from the controversial bill. In the final draft of the Cyberspace Electronic Security Act submitted to Congress, the secret search portions had disappeared. Border searches: If you agree to let customs agents search your computer, be prepared to deal with the consequences. Take the case of William Roberts, who the feds suspected of possessing child pornography and who was boarding a flight to Paris. After the agents searched Roberts' property and found a laptop computer and six zip diskettes, Roberts agreed to sign a consent form permitting the agents to search his property. A subsequent search revealed several thousand images of child pornography, the Justice Department says. Only a idiot would let anyone search their property with their consent, but in this case, if the facts are true, a collector of kiddy porn deserves to be treated as such.

Encryption: The manual doesn't address whether a criminal defendant can be compelled to give up his pass phrase to allow prosecutors to decrypt his files. But it does give one good reason to use useful software like PGPdisk (available for free at pgpi.com) that can create an encrypted hard drive partition that requires a pass phrase to access. Under current law, anyone with access to the computer you use, including your spouse, can allow the feds to search it without a warrant. Unless your files are stored on a remote computer on a network, in which case it gets more complicated. But if your files are encrypted, you might be better off. "It appears likely that encryption and password protection would in most cases indicate the absence of common authority to consent to a search among co-users who do not know the password or possess the encryption key," the Justice Department says. Civil liberties groups are vexed over a proposed treaty that would grant more surveillance powers to U.S. and European police agencies, and expand copyright crimes. Thirty groups,  from North America, Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe said this week that the treaty "improperly extends the police authority of national governments" and places the privacy of Internet users and the freedom of computer programmers at risk. In a long letter to Walter Schwimmer, the Council of Europe's secretary general, the groups advise the participating governments to delay action on the treaty and consult with technical and privacy experts instead. " It's a direct assault on legal protections and constitutional protections that have been established by national governments to protect their citizens," says Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "It's both an end run by police agencies and a bit of policy laundering by the U.S. Department of Justice to get more (surveillance) authority." Rotenberg said EPIC and other groups wanted to rally opposition to the measure before a summit of participating nations in Berlin. The U.S. has helped craft the Council of Europe's proposal, which is expected to be finalized within the next few months, making it the first computer crime treaty. The draft treaty is designed to aid police in investigations of online miscreants in cases where attacks or intrusions cross national borders. Here is what Big Brother has concocted.

Make it a crime to create, download, or post on a web site any "device, including a computer program, designed or adapted" primarily to gain access to a computer system without permission. Also banned is software designed to interfere with the "functioning of a computer system" by deleting or altering data.

Allow authorities to order someone to reveal his or her pass phrase for an encryption key. According to one survey, only Singapore and Malaysia have enacted such a requirement into law, and experts say that in the United States it could run afoul of constitutional protections against self incrimination.

Internationalize a U.S. law that makes it a crime to possess even digital images that "appear" to represent children's genitals or children engaged in sexual conduct. Linking to such a site also would be a crime.

Require web sites and Internet providers to collect information about their users, a rule that would potentially restrict anonymous emailers.

Require each country signing the treaty "to establish as criminal offenses under its domestic law the infringement of copyright." Currently the United States appears to be the only country where sharing software or music with a friend , what lawyers call "nonprofit infringing" is a crime.

Restricting security related software is not a wise choice, the groups say. The letter argues: "We believe that this concept lacks sufficient specificity to ensure that it will not become an all purpose basis to investigate individuals engaged in computer related activity that is completely lawful. As technical experts have made clear, this provision will also discourage the development of new security tools and give government an improper role in policing scientific innovation." Technical experts have said Article 6 of the measure, titled "Illegal Devices," could ban commonplace network security tools like crack and nmap, which is included with Linux as a standard utility.

Groups participating in the letter include Russia's Human Rights Network, the U.K.'s Privacy International, the LINK Center in Africa, France's IRIS, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression. Representing the United States in the drafting process is the Justice Department's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property section, which chairs the G-8 subgroup on high tech crime and also is involved with a cyber crime project at the Organization of American States. In December 1997 Reno convened the first meeting on computer crime of the G-8 nations. The Council of Europe is not affiliated with the European Union, and includes over 40 member nations, including Russia, which joined in 1996.
After the Council of Europe's expert group finalizes the proposed treaty, the full committee of ministers must adopt the text. Then it will be sent to countries for their signatures and subsequent legislation to create the new civil and criminal offenses.

Big Brother In Charge of US Security is US Biggest Security Threat

FBI Agent Robert Hanssen

This investigation will be conducted simultaneously with a separate review ordered by the department immediately after Hanssen's arrest in February. William Webster, a former CIA and FBI director, is evaluating the FBI's internal security procedures and will recommend changes to prevent future espionage cases. Ashcroft said Hanssen, a 25 year FBI veteran and counterintelligence expert, was responsible for ``a grave loss'' in national security. Hanssen, 56, is accused of giving Moscow 6,000 pages of secret U.S. documents since 1985 in exchange for 1.4 million in cash and diamonds. He was arrested Feb. 18, 2001 after authorities said he dropped off a package of documents at a Virginia park for his Russian contacts .The one time CIA officer, Ames, spied for the former Soviet Union for more than eight years. He pleaded guilty in 1994 and was sentenced to life in prison, avoiding a trial and the prospect that the CIA would be pressured to disclose sensitive information. After Ames' arrest, inspector general investigations were launched in the CIA and FBI. In all, 24 CIA employees were identified by the inspector general as culpable in the Ames case, and 11 were reprimanded. ( only reprimanded? ) As part of that review, the FBI was instructed (instructed, not ordered.) four years ago to enhance training and communications to avoid similar spy problems. The FBI was criticized at that time for not doing enough to find out how Ames leaked sensitive information to the Soviet Union. After Hanssen's arrest, FBI spokesman John Collingwood said recommendations made in the inspector general's 1997 report were implemented and had a supposed direct bearing on the arrest of Hanssen. Despite the supposed improvements, Hanssen's spying went undetected for 15 years, officials said. Nearly 500 FBI employees will be ordered to take lie detector tests next week, as a result of the arrest of alleged spy Robert Hanssen, The Washington Post reported . FBI Director Louis Freeh also wrote a memo ordering reviews of all sensitive investigations to determine if agents have accessed information outside their normal duties, the report said. The FBI has been criticized in the wake of the spy scandal, with some politicians suggesting Hanssen would have been caught sooner if he had been forced to take a lie detector test. Among those to be tested next week are 150 top managers at FBI headquarters in Washington and special agents in charge of their departments. The tests will be `` counterintelligence focused,'' the memo said. Refusing to take the test could mean a job transfer, loss of security clearance or disciplinary action, the Post reported.( Of course a refusal doesn't mean dismissal. )`` Everybody understands that we have no choice,'' FBI spokesman John Collingwood told the Post. `` No one wants to do anything that indicates mistrust in employees, but everybody recognizes that we had a serious breach here. We have to make sure it doesn't happen again.'' People applying for jobs at the FBI have been required to take lie detector tests since 1994.
The problem with lie detector tests is they can be passed with ease, especially by law enforcement officers. A lie detector test
is not even admissible as evidence in a court trial as they have been proven not to be trusted or accurate.

Big Brother Camera Surveillance And Scanning Software Approaching Frankenstein Type Technology

BlueEyes has set off warning bells at the American Civil Liberties Union. "Soon you won't only be able to capture how many people stopped by, but who they were," says Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the ACLU. "Once identity is established it will be cross referenced to capture that person's income and buying preferences. It's only a matter of time." Not surprisingly, IBM's retail customers unanimously requested that the firm not reveal their names to the press, or the locations where BlueEyes has been implemented. As Gomer Pyle would say," Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!" The road we are heading down is simply this. Big Brother will be scanning your movements, your body gestures, your thinking, and any person deemed dangerous or suspected of even thinking of a crime or of free thought, will be thrown in jail. And since Big Brother seems to think it's infallible, you will be guilty without even the benefit of trial because the computer evidence presented before a Judge will be so overwhelmingly convincing, a plea bargain and jail time will be a suspected citizens only option. Big Brother and the growing One World Government will be in complete control of all humanity within the next 15 to 20 years. Even George Orwell's 1940's novel 1984 couldn't have foreseen the present day technology now available to monitor the human race with such precision.

Government satellite images from NASA's "Landsat" series of satellites have provoked awe and dismay for 29 years. The satellite, the nation's chief source of earth surface images, have revealed previously undetected earthquake faults, rain forest destruction and the melting of polar ice caps. They have also scanned for government law enforcement agencies, military intelligence and other numerous information gathering and analyze. Future images promise to reveal even more. In the fall of 2000, NASA launched a next generation prototype satellite, Earth Observing-1, which carries test versions of instruments up to ten times better at detecting subtle differences in brightness and 25 times better at detecting colors. The space agency says the imagers show promise as a replacement to Landsat's 1970s equipment. Says NASA mission scientist Stephen Ungar, "It is conclusively proved that this technology works." Earth Observing-1 "sees more crisply in a package that is cheaper and lighter," says physicist Don Lencioni, who helped develop one of the satellite's three land imaging instruments at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. In black and white mode, the new system can resolve features as small as 10 meters wide, instead of the old 15 meters. This improved vision should allow for better monitoring of ocean pollution and crop health. It's new technology will also improve the monitoring and intelligence gathering for the NSA, CIA. and the FBI plus The Department of Defense. And because the new satellite costs less than half of a Landsat, it could be feasible to send more than one into orbit. This would allow for more frequent checks on events like forest fires; Landsat images the planet only once every 16 days.

--------Big Brother In Europe Gathering Strength

Statewatch based its conclusions primarily on five key EU documents, which apparently leaked, dating from July 12, 2000 to
March 30. All were communications by or with officials from the15 members of the EU called the Police Cooperation Working
Party, part of the EU Council. Commission officials in charge of data protection have recently published opinions that make clear that it opposes long term archiving of telecommunications and Internet data. Under current EU directives, European ISPs are actually required to erase traffic data or make it anonymous after billing is complete, a period generally no longer than a few months. In short, Statewatch has uncovered a serious rift between the Commission and the Council. The documents Statewatch obtained show the Police Cooperation Working Party is concerned that EU data protection policies and commission recommendations requiring the erasure of traffic data will hinder criminal investigations and should be revised. None of the
documents, however, specifically mentioned instituting a seven year data retention requirement. Statewatch got that number from an internal UK government report recommending that Britain adopt stricter data retention laws. According to the Guardian UK, EU officials have neither confirmed nor denied the accuracy of the Statewatch report. The paper also reports that the British government is "strongly backing" the move to lengthen EU requirements for retention of telecommunications data.

Is Big Brother Hiding Under Your Key Board?
----------------------------
---------The KeyCatch Unit That Monitors All Computer,Internet & Keyboard Activities

 "It's critical that the details of this technique be made public and be subject to a determination of its legality," says David Sobel, general counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "What the government is arguing is that it should have the right to
surreptitiously install monitoring devices on computers without any obligation to explain what that device does." For their part, the Feds believe so strongly in keeping this information secret that they've hinted they may invoke the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) if necessary. That 1980 law says that the government may say that evidence requires "protection against unauthorized disclosure for reasons of national security." This CIPA law was invoked basically so the FEDs can cover their own ass in case they are found out to be committing criminal activity themselves. Spyware is hardly secret stuff. Google features a category called "Key loggers and Spyware," and dozens of commercial applications are available. Any competent Windows programmer could create such a program in a day or two, in fact, since Windows 95 and 98 and MacOS have security restrictions that aren't exactly water tight, they're ideal platforms to target. Mark Rasch, a former Justice Department attorney now at Predictive Systems in Reston, Virginia, said he believed details should be revealed. "You've got to know what it's doing to know what the Fourth Amendment implications are," Rasch said. "It may actually be perfectly valid and appropriate. You don't know until you know what it does."  "We should get a report from someone in the FBI's unit regarding what was done, how it was done, and what process was used," said Vincent Scoca of Bloomfield, New Jersey, who is representing Scarfo. Norris Gelman, an attorney for Scarfo, replied: "The invasion of privacy is far more than a couple of hours the police could spend rummaging around." Gelman argued that the surreptitious monitoring violated federal wiretap laws and the Fourth Amendment, which requires a precise list of "things to be seized." No matter what the outcome of this certain case will be, the idea of the monitoring of everyone without the protection of our Constitutional Rights is a travesty. In the government's eye, everyone is a suspect.

In earlier stories on this web site we have discussed facial recognition software, which was employed at the 2001 Super Bowl to scan the crowd for felons or other criminal elements. A leading maker of facial recognition software is calling for federal regulation of the controversial technology to avoid misuse. The technology, which converts facial images into an easily compiled
and searched numerical code, has been criticized by privacy advocates who say the scans amount to facial frisking. "Like all powerful technologies, it should be used responsibly," said Frances Zelazny, a spokeswoman for Visionics Corporation. "We believe systemic oversight is the best way to ensure our principles are translated into responsible policies and uses of technologies."  The technology first gained public notoriety in January, when Tampa, Florida, police used it to scan the faces of unsuspecting football fans at the Super Bowl and compare their mugs with terrorists and other criminals.
When Tampa installed Visionics' software to automatically scan the faces of people strolling through the nightlife district of Ybor City, protesters donned masks and flipped off security cameras. But Zelazny said that the people who live and work in Ybor City "overwhelmingly" support using the system to reduce crime and that the protesters were just a vocal minority. The "Privacy Protection Principles" outlined by Visionics suggest that the public be alerted when the technology is in use; that strict controls be placed on image databases; and that abuses be penalized. The International Biometrics Industry Association also advocates
that clear legal standards be established to regulate biometrics data. While advocates say face scanning is a valuable protection against identity theft and effective in identifying criminals, critics argue that it is an Orwellian invasion of privacy that could be used to intimidate government critics. "There are many technologies that can violate privacy, but face recognition is at the top of my list," said Beth Givens, director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. "It could be used to track dissidents expressing their First Amendment rights to demonstrate." Police departments across the country are buying the software to create digital databases of suspects and criminals. "If you have someone lying about their identity, you can do a search against the entire county database to find out who they really are," said sergeant Ed Fernandez of the Oakland Police Department, which started using the software in June, 2001.

      911

September 11 (09/11)

I would be aware of the forthcoming months on how the government and congress will heighten it's surveillance and the future loss of freedoms due to this terrorist attack. No doubt at the present, people will demand anything to stop this type of incident from happening in the future. But as the 911 incidents proved, surveillance and spying on citizens of all nations were proved useless. Please do not jump to conclusions or we need it now mentality. This tragedy has affected the future of the world and Big Brother no doubt will use it to gain more powers, regardless if it is useless as proven today. Freedom and Democracy are the strength of America's citizens and let us use these to resolve this crisis. Let us not deteriorate our privacy and freedom further. Our prayers go out to the families and the great nation of The United States and it's leaders in this our most desperate hour. But let us be aware of not only the terrorists of the Middle East, but also the threat within our own government who might use this horrible event to gain more power. This is only the beginning as the future attacks on America will not be just hijacked airplanes, but vehicles carrying biological weapons and small nuclear devices.

I would also like to ad Big Brother's and The United States past record and incompetence on evaluating their allies. In the Iran~Iraq War The U.S. backed and supplied Iraq leader Saddam Hussein.  In the Russia invasion of Afghanistan the U.S. back and supplied Osmin BIN Laddin. The United States own CIA also backed Panama's Maneul Norigega. The thought of embracing Pakistan as a ally, whom detonated a nuclear advice right under Big Brother's nose, to me is a frightening aspect. The government of the United States has repeatedly lied, and tried to cover up their tracks to the American people for decades. Even J.Edger Hoover whom headed the FBI for decades even denied the existence of organized crime until he was proven a fool. Let us not be lead into World War III but use caution in finding those responsible for acts perpetrated on America September 11,2001. The 21st century is here and no one is safe.

This is as quoted in the Bible,I truly beleive,the beginning of sorrows and perhaps the road to Armageddon.Below are some interesting quotes from the Bible. The date of 09/11 interested me,and the 9th Chapter of Revelation verse 11 reads:

11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Abaddon is a angel who reigns over the infernal regions.It's general meaning is of "ruin,destruction"

                                         From The Book of Matthew Chapter 24
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows

----Big Brother Capitalizes On Nations 911 Grief

October 12,2001:  WASHINGTON -- Attempts to inject privacy safeguards into an anti terrorism bill have been soundly rejected. In a series of votes , the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly defeated the last ditch efforts by Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) to limit police surveillance powers. The Senate then voted 96-1 for the unaltered USA Act (PDF), which includes the biggest eavesdropping expansion in a generation. Feingold was the lone dissenter. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) described Feingold's three amendments as "outdated and nonsensical." Hatch said "current law perversely gives the terrorist privacy rights. We should not tie the hands of our law enforcement and help hackers and cyber-terrorists to get away." Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) said the USA Act was a "delicate but successful compromise" that provided adequate  ( MEANING NOTHING.) protection for civil liberties. Daschle said his opposition to Feingold's amendments was "not substantive but procedural" because the Senate needed to move quickly on the legislation. Calling this debate "one of the most important civil liberty issues of our time," Feingold reminded his colleagues that they had taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Feingold said: "We will lose that war (on terrorism) without a shot being fired if we sacrifice the liberty of the American people." President Bush lauded the vote on the USA Act, saying in a statement that the Senate has handed police "essential, additional tools to combat terrorism and safeguard America against future terrorist attacks." As apple pie sounding as it may sound, it was nothing short of more liberties, freedom, and privacy that american citizens have lost. You must remember the government had all the snooping devices before the 911 terrorist attack. Some of the terrorists had been living in the USA with expired NIC cards for 2-3 years right under the FBI and NSC noses.

Among this new ACT include: Still allowed police to perform "roving wiretaps" and listen in on any telephone that a subject of an investigation might use. This means anyone can be called a suspect and the use of " suspicion" and " probable cause" will let the snoopers run wild while hiding behind the protection of this new act. Preserved the privacy of sensitive records such as medical or educational data -- by requiring police to convince a judge that viewing them is necessary. With that amendment killed, the USA Act expands police's ability to access any type of stored or "tangible" information. Clarified that universities, libraries and employers may only snoop on people who use their computers in narrow circumstances. Right now, the USA Act says that system administrators should be able to monitor anyone they deem a "computer trespasser." The USA Act still allows police to conduct Internet eavesdropping without a court order in some circumstances, lets federal prosecutors imprison non-citizens for extended periods, and expands the duration of an electronic surveillance order issued by a secret court from 90 to 120 days. Bush has asked Congress for the additional surveillance and detention powers as a response to the deadly Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The USA Act stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America." so we are told. My eyes see it as another attack on privacy and our Amendment rights. To further explain my concerns the House Financial Services committee from voting 62-1 for an "anti-terrorism" bill that limits  or outlaws Internet gambling. There has not been any reliable confirmation that the 911 suicide hijackers, who completed the bloodiest terrorist attack in American history, were habitual gamblers, or were laundering money through internet gambling. The measure has been dubbed the "Financial Anti Terrorism Act" (PDF), and it prohibits financial institutions from accepting credit cards, electronic transfers and checks used in online gambling. Another part of the 121 page bill gives the Customs Service more power to inspect packages sent through the mail. The chief users of Internet gambling are not terrorists. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) stated. "Too many people who disapprove of gambling want to ban it," Frank said. "It's not generally been the policy of the U.S. government to tell people how to spend their money." The bill would ban credit card companies from issuing card numbers to be used on gambling web sites. Credit card firms and banks would be liable if they have "actual knowledge" that they may be providing services to online casinos, a penalty that some members said went too far. "Whether the government should try and mold behavior. Over centuries governments have tried to do this.... Gambling is entertainment. We should not allow government to regulate entertainment." Another section of the bill grants Customs greater power to search international mail shipped via the U.S. Postal Service. According to the bill, Customs may "search" any envelope or package without a warrant.

Big Brother Sneak & Peek

2001 NOV 21 AMSTERDAM: Dutch scientists claim they have found out a new way to use insects such as Wasps to detect
drugs and explosives better and cheaper than dogs can. Wasps are being genetically altered in laboratories to give a special
reaction when any drugs, explosives and biochemical weapons are present quoted biologist Felix Waeckers of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology. When any suspicious odor is detected by the wasps, they react by moving their heads in a feeding motion. The movement of the wasps head will be monitored by electronic sensors. The antenna of a wasp is more sensitive than a dogs nose and biologists hope to have these insects in action within the next three years. Reuters reporter Paul Gallagher
reported this story in November 2001.

Farewell to Privacy

                                    FACE SCANNING TECHNOLOGY

The face scanning software zooms in on a face and digitized. The software fixates on the geometry of a person's bone structure rather than the skin, eyes, or mouth. These measurements are then computed which will then generate
a facial template. The templates are then compared to known card cheaters in the Vegas casinos. This type of scanning was used in the 2001 Super Bowl by The Tampa Bay Police Department in which 19 people were found with a criminal background and wanted by the law.

But remember, it's not just governmental agencies using this technology, it's even in use in the work place, shopping malls, and perhaps the biggest surveillance city in the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. The face scanning of the Vegas casinos searches for card counters, cheaters, con and scam artists 24 hours a day. Companies such as Visage Technology of Littleton, Massachusetts are marketing and refining this technology. New technologies such as ultra violet scanners which not only
can recognize a person's face, but can actually break down a individual's DNA. This futuristic scanning would enable
Global Positioning Satellites to track and find any person on earth in a manner of nano-seconds. Such technology would
be useful in finding criminals, kidnap victims and lost or missing children. The technology could also be abused and exploited
by people who just want to snoop or spy on what the government calls suspected criminals. In Big Brother's eyes, everyone is a suspect.

The Computer Tag

The 911 terrorist attack on The World Trade Center and The Pentagon not only ruined many families, it ruined many civil liberties and further eroded the Constitution and the privacy of it's citizens. The attack had Congress passing the USA PATRIOT ACT anti terrorism bill that increases the governments surveillance such as no warrant wire taps, searching your property or scanning your computer without your knowledge, which is now perfectly legal. The government already wants too
employ a NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARD which will have a embedded chip that will contain all information on the individual from medical records, driving records, employment, and even a person's DNA profile. Many of you may scoff
at this, but everything over the last five years that JAYSNET has reported has come true. The embedding of computer chips
into the human body is within 10 to 15 years. You will be tracked and monitored 24 hours a day and The One World
Government will know everything you buy, your travel habits, and your location. Big Brother's GPS is already in position with more monitoring satellites to be launched in the future.

Artificial Intelligence Growing

Humanoid robots, intelligent insects and virtual creatures designed to fly real planes, drones, and other and future Artificial Intelligence machines are growing at a lightning technology speed. Researchers in artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial life (A-Life) make their living by modeling, copying or adapting systems from biology. The combination of human ingenuity and
the explosion in computer power has created a host of creations that take as their starting point anything from human intelligence and emotions to genetic inheritance and evolution. "Traditional" AI grew out of efforts to crack enemy codes in the Second World War. It aimed to capture human intelligence by following vast lists of rules programmed into a computer. Today,
 this approach is best known for creating Deep Blue, the computer that beat the chess world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. Networks of artificial brain cells can learn and recognize patterns. Already such neural networks are advising financial wizards about investing their money and helping doctors to diagnose cancer and other illness. A-Life focuses not so much on human biology but on biology in its widest sense. It has already given birth to such strange things as robots that work in teams, machines that evolve and virtual creatures that learn, age, breed and die. Today, biologists study evolution in virtual
worlds, computers are protected from malicious viruses by artificial immune systems, and in Oxford, a heart made from millions of software cells is teaching doctors things about medicine that no living heart could have done. Prepare to have your computer pressing your buttons instead of you tapping on your keyboard.
