The unconstitutional takes a little longer." --Henry Kissinger TODAY's COMMUNIQUE ================== Satellite offers spy pictures by credit card ============================================ First a little on the handy... BIG BROTHER WATCHING Has anybody thought about the fact why Goverments are pushing the GSM-Handys so much. More and more people will change over to the "handy" Handy, not thinking that this system is utterly unsafe. There are various A5 chips build-in which supposed to encrypt the conversation between the Handy and the nearby station. This encryption - if there is any at all - can be switched off and is a 4 Bit Kode which can be cracked in Minutes. But the biggest danger was exposed by the (Swiss) Berner Sonntagszeitung which wrote that the Swisscom - which really belongs to AT&T or another US-company (a subsidiary of the CIA/MOSSAD) is collecting data from every GSM-User and the movement of the owner for at least 6 Months (Bewegungs-Profile). The owner of a GSM Handy can be located with the GPS (General Position System and Sattelites) within few Meters, no matter if he uses the Phones or not. The complete German Text (article) you will find on the Ostara-Website http://www.ostara.org/autor/gsm.txt The question is now what can we do, because the same "big brother" things are going on everywhere and nobody knows who is exchanging data with whom. Not only the owner of the GSM will be recorded, but also the telefon Nr. of the receiver. And this warning goes even more for people using ISDN which is no problem to hack into. The Story of the LOTUS-NOTES where the US-Goverment holds the decryption key is well known by now - hopefully. If you have to use a Handy, use a anonymous Credit-card Handy where you can buy the cards in any communication shop with cash (no bankcredit-card). 30.12.1997 fwd from: Satellite offers spy pictures by credit card By Robert Uhlig, Technology Correspondent Electronic Telegraph UK. THE first civilian spy satellite will soon allow anyone with a credit card to peek into a neighbour's garden or a highly secret military base for as little as engl. Pounds 200,- EarlyBird 1, the first commercial spacecraft to use recently declassified spy technology, was successfully launched from a military base in eastern Russia last week, ending the 40-year monopoly of the world's most advanced military and intelligence services on gathering high-resolution pictures from space. EarthWatch Inc, the satellite's owner, confirmed yesterday that, subject to a last calibration and alignment test, it was ready to start broadcasting clandestine pictures from its orbit 295 miles above Earth. With the exception of the governments of Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq and Iran, anybody can order highly-detailed images from anywhere in the world, for as little as 31.80 per square foot, subject to a 3200 minimum order. The sharpest commercial satellite images available now capture features no smaller than 33ft across, good enough for media pictures of the Tiananmen Square massacre but not detailed enough for covert examinations of neighbours' activities. However, once EarlyBird 1 starts taking pictures, customers will be able to control it via the Internet and place orders for black-and-white pictures that will show features as small as 10ft across. EarthWatch promises that pictures will be taken and sent to customers within two days of receiving the target co-ordinates. "It's detailed enough to distinguish a car from a truck, or to measure the size of a neighbour's extension," said Bob Wientzen, an EarthWatch spokesman. Colour pictures will also be offered, but with a resolution of only within 45ft. Most of the time, the satellite is expected to focus on targets related to town planning, map-making, disaster relief or mining. It will also allow the media and the public to scrutinise environmental and military crises. Some industry experts expect the biggest customers to be foreign governments and intelligence agencies who do not have access to spy satellite networks of their own. Companies in India, Israel, Russia, China and America plan to launch a further generation of spy satellites capable of distinguishing objects with a diameter of about three feet. --=====================_883451814==_-- http://TeamInfinity.com/~ralph/dl.html Electric Eye in the Sky is a song by ? [Take a guess] ====================================== The lyrics go like this. Electric Eye Up here in space I'm looking down on you. My lasers trace Everything you do. You think you've private lives Think nothing of the kind. There is no true escape I'm watching all the time. I'm made of metal My circuits gleam I am perpetual I keep the country clean. I'm elected, electric spy I'm protected, electric eye. Always in focus You can't feel my stare. I zoom in on you You dont know I 'm there. I take a pride in probing all your secret moves My tearless retina takes pictures that can proof. Electric eye, in the sky Feel my stare, always there There's nothing you can do about it. Develop and expose I feed upon your every thought And so my power grows. Protected... Detective... Electric Eye... If you would like to hear this song, please ask. In our neck of the woods, We have a new system called "Aggressive Driving Imaging" but the state will not divulge details of this system to us. I thought we paid their salaries, etc, how can they "not disclose the details of the system to us". With the numerous "Red Light" cameras ($50,000 a piece $5000 to install) up that automagically mail tickets to the OWNER of the car that ran the light, you will have friends and family (who borrowed the car) being forced to testify against themselves to prevent the owner from being deprived of his property. Since same cannot be forced to bear witness against themself, where is the due process that must precede the taking of the owners property, however small it may start out to be ? Keep in mind that if there is no victim there is no crime, and that you should always be able to face your accuser, and that the state cannot sue or be sued, fair is fair right ? i.e. the plaintiff MUST be an individual of flesh and blood. Also the right to travel by the means available in your day, is a RIGHT, not a priviledge, and as such CANNOT be licensed or taxed or infringed in any manner whatsoever against your will if noncommercial.

We should be allowed to know where the NO-PRIVACY ZONES ARE and start letting others know the scope breadth and depth. CAUGHT You used to watch television. Now it watches you. By Phil Patton _________________________________________________________________ It's early morning in the 'burbs. My eyes are barely open, but the video eye is on me. I stop by the convenience store for coffee and newspapers. On the grainy screen of a boxy monitor behind the clerk, I catch a glimpse of a tiny figure that, after a moment, I realize represents me. Opening my wallet reminds me that I'm as short of cash as usual, so I stop at the ATM. Through a one-way mirror, a video camera is recording the transaction. I drive along New Jersey's Route 3 toward New York City, quite possibly under the video observation of the New Jersey State Police, my state being one of several that have tested remote stations that capture radar-gun readings and license-plate numbers and mail out speeding tickets. As I descend the dread "helix" into the Lincoln Tunnel, I go on TV for Panasonic. Atop a huge billboard advertising the company's camcorders is the "Panasonic Traffic Cam," an absurdly tiny device that perches like an insect above a sign bearing the face of a white-knuckled driver. The driver looks a bit like the late John Candy - all exasperation as the kids behind him quibble and scream. I can tune the radio to 1010 WINS to hear what the camera sees: in a cunning marketing tie-in, I get "reports from the Panasonic Traffic Cam high above the helix - there's a 15 minute delay at the Lincoln...."
