NSA Elephant Herd

From: ³The Messianic Legacy² by Lincoln Leigh Baigent Chapter 24 ³Secret Powers Behind Covert Groups² page 347 Subtitled ³Moves By The CIA² The man perhaps most responsible for initiating interest in United Europe Movements was Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, who had founded Pan-Europa in 1922 as The Pan European Union. Although it accomplished little on a practical level, Pan-Europa, in the period between the wars, was a prestigious organization. Its membership included a number of esteemed political figures, such as Leon Blum and Aristide Briand in France and Eduard Benes in Czechosolvakia, as well as Winston Churchill. The membership also included Albert Einstein, and such cultural luminaries as Paul Valery, Miguel de Unamuno, George Bernard Shaw and Thomas Mann. Driven out of Austria by the German Anschluss of 1938, Coudenhove-Kalergi, in 1940, fled to the United States. Here he lobbied tirelessly for his Pan-European ideal, insisting that European unity must be a priority for American Policy after the war. His efforts served to convince a number of important American political figures, such as William Bullitt and Senators Fullbright and Wheeler. When America entered the war, some of Coudenhove-Kalergi¹s thinking offered a blueprint for action. It was to be adopted as such by the OSS, precursor of the CIA. The OSS, or Office of Strategic Services, was created in emulation, and with the aid of, Britains MI6 and SOE. Its first director was General William (Wild Bill) Donovan. Donovans agents were to provide the nucleus for the post war CIA. One of them, Allen Dulles, became director of the CIA from 1953 until the Bay of Pigs debacle forced him to resign in 1961. During the war, Dulles had been based in Switzerland, and he maintained the contacts he had made there with Helmut James von Moltke and the Kreisau Circle. As director of the OSS, William Donovan was quick to realize the potential significance of the Vatican to intelligence operations. Thousands of Catholic priests were also serving as chaplains in the armed forces of every combatant nation. The network was already engaged in intelligence activity, passing vast qualtities of information back to the Vatican¹s own internal intelligences department. One of the four section leaders of Vatican Intelligence was Monsignor Giovanni Montini--later Pope Paul VI. Donovan therefore undertook to establish close links with the Vatican. Shortly after Americas entry into the war, Donovan forged an alliance with one Father Felix Morlion, founder of a European intelligence service called Pro Deo (For God), based in Lisbon. Under Donovan¹s auspices, Pro Deo moved its headquarters to New York, and the OSS undertook to finance its operation. When Rome was liberated in 1944, Donovan and Father Morlion proceeded to install Pro Deo in the Vatican itself. Here, it was particularly well situated to draw on information from Catholic priests who had been, or were still, in Germany or with German Armed Forces. The Jesuits, with their sophisticated training, rigorous discipline and tight knit organization, proved an especially valuable source of intelligence material. In the period following the war, the United States hastened to capitalize on the apparatus Donovan had established, particularly in Italy

The NYSE, for instance, saw its second lightest day of the year in terms of activity. Most market participants are in a waiting mode before deciding which side to join - bulls or bears.

Consensus Index, which measures Bullish Opinion, dropped especially sharply from 40% to 29%.

No More Secrecy Bills
by Jon Beets 27 Aug '01

27 Aug '01

Found this article on an Air Force web site... Jon Beets Pacer Communications http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/opinion/A54690-2001Aug23.html Washington Post August 24, 2001 Pg. 26 No More Secrecy Bills LAST YEAR President Clinton properly vetoed an intelligence authorization bill that would have criminalized virtually all leaks of classified information. Unfortunately, this year the idea has resurfaced and is due to be considered by the Senate intelligence committee in September. The leaks bill is still a bad idea and should again be rejected. We don't pretend to be neutral on this subject. Newspapers publish leaked material; our reporters solicit leaks. And some of the leaked material we publish is classified. But it is a mistake to imagine that all leaks of classified information are bad. Some expose wrongdoing or allow the public to debate relatively nonsensitive matters that government would prefer to handle without scrutiny. The government massively overclassifies information, so a law banning all leaks of supposedly sensitive material would inevitably criminalize conversations between officials and citizens about subjects that are not genuinely sensitive and chill in dangerous ways the ability of officials and former officials to speak out on important policy questions. Traditionally, the law has respected this fact and has made criminal only leaks of specific types of classified information -- the names of intelligence agents, for example, or material related to encoding systems used in intelligence work. Certain disclosures of defense information, if done with intent to harm national security, can be prosecuted under espionage laws. And no one is suggesting that every government employee should be free to decide what remains secret and what does not. Generally speaking, leaks are handled under administrative personnel rules; if you get caught, you can lose your job. One trouble with creating a blanket criminalization of classified leaks is that it gives the executive branch almost unchecked authority to remove information from public discussion. Classification rules are generally not made under statutes but by executive orders, meaning that the president would have the authority both to decide what information is classified and to prosecute people for leaking it. Such unchecked power would be dangerous even if overclassification weren't rampant. But there is hardly an area where government is more capricious than in its determination of what secrets it needs to keep. Several years ago, to cite one example, the Federation of American Scientists sought historical and contemporary data on the aggregate intelligence budget under the Freedom of Information Act. After some litigation, the government released the figure for fiscal year 1997 and then, voluntarily, for 1998. It has refused, however, to release data for subsequent years and claims that releasing the figures for the years 1947-1970 could compromise "the interest of national defense or foreign policy" and "intelligence sources and methods." There have been times when the disclosure of irrationally or unjustifiably classified information has served the public. Certainly, in a system that depends on an informed and skeptical electorate, the government should not be moving in the direction of criminalizing public debate.

If you want to have "enormous influence" on policy, you'd be well advised to spend your time flirting with a member of the appropriate sex in the administration, or perhaps the Senate leadership, offering the appropriate sexual favors, then vie for a position as a policy aide somewhere. A law degree will be a big help. Not entirely joking, Declan

OPT: How does one freenet (mobile) user find another (maybe freenet) user?
by Jim Choate 27 Aug '01

27 Aug '01

One proposal is to build some complicated IP management network. Yuck! A primary problem is one freenet user locating another freenet user and keeping the connection live during AP changes. I believe that if this problem can be resolved the other types of connections (ie fixed IP) go away. How about a 'rendevous server'. A well known address where two users can present a 'key' to the server and when they click you open a connection. (this might be a good place for e-cash micro-mints) IP Anonymizers would be one place to start. You connect up and get your IP washed. Then you present a key to the server. It looks for an identical key(s) and build a bridge between those users. An end-to-end anonymous connection. The anonymizing layer is a bell, it's not critical. A simple IP proxy will work. This is also a good place to demonstrate the utility of a 'wrapper' around this connection with respect to moving from one node to another. As you move out of one zone into another, your IP changes. So, your system would re-connect to the above server, be anonymized and hence making it's real IP irrelevant (even if it wasn't anonymized the next step makes the actual IP moot) - all automatically. It presents a key, finds a waiting connection open and gets connected back up. The rendevous server sits patiently waiting (until some watchdog barks) for new connections and holding the old half of your connection open and waiting. In particular it looks at each half of a connection and asks (Did_they_drop_the_line? || Did_we_get_norm_close?) before it closes the resource. Otherwise it attempts to keep the connection open and in a wait state until somebody else connects up. It would be reasonable to run such a server on the AP. With respect to automation of finding other proxies and presenting keys, this could be done by having it broadcast a Proxy_alive_kicking? packet. It would then, at a users request, broadcast out to those proxies trying to find out if they have a matching key as presented by the user. If so, then the proxy servers could make a connection between themselves and bridge the users logical connection request (ie presenting a key). -- ____________________________________________________________________ natsugusa ya...tsuwamonodomo ga...yume no ato summer grass...those mighty warriors'...dream-tracks Matsuo Basho The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
