Pre crime in the warthland.
by Matthew X 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

John Ashcroft recently released his guidelines for investigating people he suspects as terrorists, and these guidelines exceed even J. Edgar Hoover's contempt for due process. Activists particularly--and I expect the term applies to a good many readers of The Progressive--should know what may well be in store for them. On page three of "The Attorney General's Guidelines on General Crimes, Racketeering Enterprise and Terrorism Enterprise Investigations," we are told: "A terrorism enterprise investigation may be initiated when facts or circumstances reasonably indicate that two or more persons are engaged in an enterprise for the purpose of . . . furthering political or social goals wholly or in part through activities that involve force or violence and a federal crime . . ." Note the use of "reasonably" and "wholly or in part." These insidiously malleable guidelines for terrorism investigations could apply to political action (and the reaction) during demonstrations by environmentalists, anti-globalizationists, animal rights pickets, or union members on strike, as well as pro-lifers trying to talk, and only to talk, to women entering abortion clinics ("obstruction" at clinics can be a federal crime). The guidelines go on to note that "the 'reasonable indication' standard for commencing a terrorism enterprise investigation is . . . substantially lower than probable cause." It is so low it could be part of the new Steven Spielberg-Tom Cruise movie, Minority Report, which envisions the nabbing of "pre-criminals." As The Washington Times puts it, such pre-criminals are convicted "before they ever act on, or, in some cases, are even aware of, their murderous designs." On page four of the Ashcroft Guidelines: "The nature of the conduct engaged in by a [terrorist] enterprise will justify an inference that the standard [for opening a criminal intelligence investigation] is satisfied, even if there are no known statements by participants that advocate or indicate planning for violence or other prohibited acts." (Emphasis added.) The Attorney General, furthermore, extends the dragnet to make individuals in a group under suspicion responsible for what other members say or write: "A group's activities and the statements of its members may properly be considered in conjunction with each other. A combination of statements and activities may justify a determination that the threshold standard for a terrorism investigation is satisfied, even if the statements alone or the activities alone would not warrant such a determination." (Emphasis added.) Also indicating the "pre-crime" mindset of Attorney General Ashcroft is the following paragraph. "While no particular factor or combination of factors is required, considerations that will generally be relevant whether the threshold standard for a terrorism investigation is satisfied includes as noted, a group's statements, its activities, and the nature of potential federal law violations suggested by its statements or its activities." (Emphasis added.) Keep in mind the massive, pervasive electronic surveillance--with minimal judicial supervision under the USA Patriot Act--of inferential "pre-crime" conversations and messages, both sent and received. Add to that the FBI's power, under the same law, to break into your home or office, with a warrant, while you're not there, and inset "The Magic Lantern" into your computer to record every one of your keystrokes, including those not sent. Then add the Patriot Act's allowing the FBI to command bookstores and libraries to reveal the books bought or read by potential domestic terrorists. You may now appreciate the prophecy of Senator Frank Church--who was instrumental in exposing the constitutional crimes of J. Edgar Hoover's Cointelpro operation--when he said in 1975 that future government intelligence capabilities could "at any time be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left--such is the capacity to monitor everything, telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter." And that was before the omnivorous, permeable Internet. The Web can be a spider web. Senator Church, referring to "potential" enemies of the state, warned: "There would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know." There is still time to fight back. http://www.progressive.org/sept02/hen0902.html

Denver Colorado Stasi files, and DB linking
by Khoder bin Hakkin 11 Sep '02

There is an article on the Denver Police/STASI files at: http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/front/la-na-spies10sep10.story?col… Folks were in the database for bumperstickers. That will be very amusing when all the crime-DB are integrated and used to harass people in airports, buses & trains, street checkpoints, and when the crowd-face-scanners find a hit. Some authorities just need reformatting. -- "Better bombing through chemistry." -John Pike, director of Globalsecurity.org on use of speed by US pilots

It's been part of the Australian sporting ethos that politics and sport shouldn't mix. But mix it did during the 1971 Springbok Rugby Union tour of Australia. What an explosive mix it was! The tour was marked by violent demonstrations against the team because of the South African Government's apartheid policies. Wherever the Springboks travelled, they were greeted by demonstrations, and those demonstrations reached a crescendo in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, when the tourists took the field. In Queensland, where Joh Bjelke-Peteson was premier at the time, a state of emergency was declared to allow the matches to be played. But the ugliest violence took place in Melbourne, when 138 demonstrators were arrested and five police were treated in hospital following clashes before, during and after the match against Victoria at Olympic Park. In Sydney 100 people were arrested.In Melb.1 P.I.Gs was carried off after a firecracker went off next to his ear.Police horses were charging at full gallop the length of the pitch as a deafening unending racket went on.Most violent demo I ever went on. They galloped right over at least 2 pitch invaders.

Enough is Enough.Plans for a Fall uprising.
by Matthew X 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Call for a dual mobilization for total liberation. Or rather- a Fall uprising. In Fall- the streets of DC, and Denver, CO will erupt. 2 forces made up of many movements with much historical/herstorical precedent will converge. The anti-capitalist, the anti-imperialist, the anti- colonialist, the anti-authoritarian, the anti-patriarchy, the anti- white supremacy will all take to the streets in these 2 cities. MORE ON http://www.raisethefist.com/news.cgi?artical=wire/----9862933t4a.article Current Threats to America Current Threats to America Include "a Loose Alliance of Left-Wing Groups" A recent "threat assesment" issued by the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center has identified global justice activists as a potential terrorist threat. The memo, entitled "First Anniversary of the September 11th Attacks And Other Dates of Interest," notes that "there are several notable events scheduled in the near future which warrant heightened awareness." It lists the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks; upcoming United Nations meetings in New York City; and the World Bank and International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington, DC, during the period September 25-29th. The bulletin, which has attracted mainstream media attention, goes on to contend that "prior protests against the IMF and WB in Washington, D.C. were disruptive and resulted in limited clashes with police...historically, tiny contingents of individuals associated with the protests belonged to violent groups." While this is not the first time that elements of the Global Justice Movement have been the targets of FBI scrutiny, the inclusion of WB / IMF protests in a memo dealing with largely foreign terrorism may represent an escalation of US Government harassment. Read and discuss the full memo. [ New York City IMC | Washington D.C. IMC ]

LEDX Latest.
by Matthew X 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

The forerunner of the Law Enforcement Data Exchange (LEDX) was a system known as DocuShare, developed and marketed by Stamford, Conn.-based Xerox Corp. The product started out as a way for five company research centers to collaborate and share information, said Colman Murphy, Xerox's DocuShare product manager. "So they designed it to be secure but also to make it very easy for distributed work groups to build collaborative spaces and to share information," he said. "So it has a lot of security capabilities built into it, like the user name and password control on not just areas of the DocuShare server...but actually right down to each individual document. "The users themselves get to control that access. I, as the user, can decide who else can view this document down to the individual level. Also, the site itself can be administered among the users. So it distributes the administration mode across the organization. You don't have to have a large [information technology] organization to set it up, to administer it, to manage the content, to give people permission. All of that can be distributed across the organization." Murphy said the product could store any document in its original format. The application also includes filters to convert more than 200 file formats to HTML quickly and easily. Larry Hunt, chief engineer and chief executive officer of Integrated Digital Systems/ScanAmerica Inc., tried to come up with a better way to exchange information among the Internet Crimes Against Children task force centers. Because his company was one of Xerox's top value-added resellers and because he was familiar with DocuShare, Hunt modified the product and called it LEDX.

I really urge AAAS and the US government to focus first on the US Government, as it is not disputed that that entity was responsible for the processing and distribution of the Ames Strain of Anthrax, the only recent bio agent released in terrorist action resulting in fatalities in the US. It would be nice if the US Government would proceed to assign a whipping boy, who will of course show up dead somewhere, avoiding any need for messy trials, evidence, facts, etc., so we can all go back to granting unprecedented powers to our government. And the CIA needs Anthrax exactly why? Since we have signed treaties about bio warfare and development of agents for it, are we to understand that the CIA simply fills in for USAMRIID and CDC in developing defenses? Where in the CIA charter can I find biowar defense R&D? Right. In the meanwhile, everyone should continue to be afraid --- very afraid. It expedites legislation when people are panicing or raised to high levels of emotion.
