televisions 2 way?
I heard a theory about how the government can "spy" on us by using cable television. somehow, according to the theory, the cable is a 2-way transmitter, and the television, when turned on, can act like a video camera for the government. I do not know ANY of the specifics of this theory, and really find it hard to believe (perhaps because I do not have any more information)...does anyone have any information on this? is this an appropriate inquiry for the cypherpunks mailing? thanks a lot sean

Its absolutely true. There are also mechanisms that let them listen in on conversations using the lightbulbs in your house -- ambient sound causes the bulb to vibrate, flexing the filament and thus modulating the return current. Placing a simple device on the electrical feeder of the house thus allows complete bugging of the entire structure without having to place listening devices within. The method works whether or not the bulbs are turned on, by the way -- you have to actually unscrew them to get privacy. There is also a well known method for obtaining sonograms of the inside of the building that are nearly as good as video by sending modulated high frequency audio down the cold water pipes -- its quite evil, really. Microwave ovens are a particularly nasty one, however, by comparison to these other methods. Most of them have computers built in that take commands modulated over the electrical wiring that permit them to record an EEG of anyone within 15 feet and return it via power line modulation. These EEGs may be postprocessed by powerful computer equipment into records of the thoughts and memories of the people near the oven. Its also reported that some newer models can transmit mind control signals. Luckily, this only works when the oven is plugged in, so its easy to disable. For maximum safety, especially against future developments, I would remove all electrical wiring and plumbing from my house. Its a bit hard, but it protects you from the fiends. Unedited dissemination of this important information is encouraged. L. Sternwight

Of course, this is the old technology. Much more sophisticated monitoring technologies are currently being used. All people born after 1983 have special implants which transmit all their thoughts to NSA headquarters for recording and analysis. This is also a big plus for law enforcement, which has been known to resort to throwing people who don't have suitable modern conveniences in jail. W.O. Studeman was apparently overheard at a party (while more than slightly drunk) saying "this new approach will eventually save the U.S. taxpayer billions of dollars a year as there are fewer people in the world than potential bugging devices". The government is now actively kidnapping people born before 1983 for short periods of time, and implanting these thought transmission devices (stories of abductions by UFOs are invariably due to imperfectly wiped memories of the ordeal). The next model will be a thought transmission and control device. There are apparently still some technical problems with the prototypes, the end result for the experimental subjects who have been implanted with the prototype is usually insanity. The next step after this is rumoured to be the complete removal of the old-style organic brains and replacement with new ultra-sophisticated superconducting computers capable of computing hundreds of thousands of digits of pi in a fraction of a second. This will also solve the problems with maths education in the U.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find out more about the anon service, send mail to help@anon.penet.fi.

You can read all about it in Orwell's "1984"... ;-) -Jim
