    One clue would come from my suspicion that agents of the Federal government, in March 1995, lured away the former resident of 7302 Corregidor (see http://www.redfin.com/WA/Vancouver/7302-Corregidor-Rd-98664/home/14565030 ), the house immediately to the east of mine, and bought that house. (In the picture provided, my house at 7214 Corregidor is just to the left of the house shown.)   The prior resident was a local school (high school?) science teacher, and he was hired at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories in Richland Washington, a Federal government laboratory akin to Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, etc. http://www.pnl.gov/
    The purpose of this was to be able to acquire that house, and use it as a spying location against me. (The names ostensibly buying the house were Daniel J. and Dori J. Sabin, and they ran a remodeling operation named "Sundown Development Construction Corporation". http://www.sundowndevelopmentconstruction.com/ ) Note that the date the house was sold is shown as March 10, 1995. (This is odd, because school teachers' lives are oriented around the 'school year', which in most locations in America go from about September 1 to about June 1. They sign contracts with the school to work for that year, and are bound to do so. While I don't recall when the prior, lured occupant left, based on the sale date it appears that he sold that house months before the end of his school year. For a school teacher, this would have been highly unusual.)
    The sale price is shown as $180,000, which I think was rather high for that time. (But not unexpected if the government wanted to lure him away quickly. Presumably he got a large raise, as well.) They immediately began an extensive remodeling and enlargement operation on that house, including adding a second floor. As I recall, this remodel took nearly a year; seemingly the house was unoccupied during that time. Further, during a long period very little work was actually being done, as I recall. (This remodeling would have dramatically increased the value of that house; the sale price in 1995 of $180,000 cannot be directly compared with the current value of the much-larger and more-up-to-date house as it exists today.)
While I don't remember precisely the date I published the first part of my AP essay, I believe that it was no more than a few weeks prior to March 10, 1995, on the 'Digitaliberty' discussion area.     http://www.skepticfiles.org/hacker/cud6105.htm (Hence my reference to Digitaliberty in the essay; it wasn't until many weeks later that I'd heard of the 'Cypherpunks' list.) My recollection that the person who initiated 'Digitaliberty', Bill Frezza, was interested in the use of technology for the development of 'liberty', although the first part of my AP essay apparently exceeded his tolerance for radicalism. At some point somebody transported Part 1 of the AP essay to Cypherpunks, and informed me of the existence of CP; I acquired Internet access and joined the Cypherpunks list.
    The acquisition and operation of nearby government spy locations was/is certainly not new. Consider the case of Robert Hanssen,   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen    While this Wikipedia article does not mention it, I read contemporaneously various news reports (2001) that said the government set up a spy location near Hanssen's house. How far away that location was, those reports did not say. Presumably, this was a standard tactic, and non-controversial. (At least in the case of actual criminality being suspected and investigated.) The difference, in my case, was that not only did they not suspect me of any crime, they knew that I was innocent of any crime. It is obvious, therefore, that they engaged in this activity not because of any crime (which, had it existed, would have made me a 'criminal') but because of my writing and publication of Part 1 of my Assassination Politics essay. (Which made me 'an enemy', 'a dissident', an opponent of not merely the Federal government, but all governments everywhere.) In other words, the government engaged in activities more appropriate for the former Soviet Union, and seemingly not for America.

One question that should be asked, is: "What what the government did, acquiring that house at surveilling me from it, legal?" They would presumably say, "yes". But why wasn't that "stalking", within the meaning of the criminal statute? After all, in November 21, 2000 I was accused of "Interstate Stalking", simply for going around, looking at various locations, not confronting (nor even seeing) anyone. I was investigating things, because I knew that something was (and had been) happening. Was I less entitled to do what I did, than what the government was to do what it did? An inmate/informant named Ryan Thomas Lund (his recent activity: http://www.localblotter.com/news/oregon/man-detained-on-multiple-counts/8340383.html ) was instructed to attack me, which he did on November 25, 1997, because I was beginning to resist the plea agreement that I had been offered, and initially accepted.

Don't think that I didn't already suspect the house at 7302 Corregidor during that time. In fact, I informed my (corrupt) attorney Peter Avenia http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/98101-wa-peter-avenia-20216.html of some of my suspicions. (But, of course, I didn't know at that time Avenia was corrupt.) Sometime about December 1, 1997, Avenia visited me at FDC Seatac jail and I told him of Lund's attack. His answer? "I don't know anything about.....that") (Avenia was also Lund's attorney.) And in about July 1998, after I was re-arrested, ostensibly for a 'supervised release violation', the prosecutor Robb London (who is currently the direction of communication at Harvard Law School http://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/p?orig=SEO_SN&firstName=Robb&lastName=London&trk=SEO_SN ) claimed that I 'said that the government was spying on him' [Jim Bell]. Which, of course, was true: I DID suspect, and say, that the government was spying on me! Problem is, London was using this bare assertion to justify me being sent to the Federal Medical Center at Springfield, Missouri, for a mental evaluation (!). Another problem was, London didn't say I was _wrong_ when I said (or suspected) that. (Without at least an allegation that I was wrong, what justification is it to claim that I asserted that the government was spying on me?!? Is merely saying that I believed the government was spying on me enough to justify sending me to a mental evaluation? Would an American's "suspecting" that all his telephone metadata and email was being copied by the NSA, prior to Snowden's allegations, constitute a justification to send that 'comrade' for a mental evaluation in Siberia...er...Springfield?) And worse, I was not allowed to challenge the (implicit) allegation of falsity in my assertion that the government had been spying on me. However, I used the situation (a hearing) to extract a promise (only partly kept) from Avenia that he would investigate my allegations. Many months later, perhaps in February 1999, Avenia send investigator Sharon Callas to Vancouver. Mysteriously, Callas was said to have 'disappeared' (or perhaps 'resigned') later. I never saw the results of her investigation. Later, in about April 1999, attorney Avenia resigned, but NOT at my request. I suspected then, and still suspect today, that his resignation was triggered by something that Sharon Callas discovered during that investigation: Perhaps she confirmed enough of my allegations that Avenia knew that I was correct. http://www.shmoo.com/mail/cypherpunks/jun00/msg00154.shtml

So, what had been going on? Presumably, the interest in me (including local spying) was NOT based on allegations of crime, or even suspected future crime, in March 1995. In other words, no government law enforcement agency would have been legally entitled to spy on me. Presumably, the spying that did occur was, itself, illegal: And, had it become exposed (which it should have been if I had not been assaulted by Ryan Thomas Lund on November 25, 1997), the Federal government would have suffered an enormous hit of bad publicity. This corruption must have been at an extremely high level: The forgery of fake appeal case 99-30210, initiated secretly and kept from me for 10 months, with numerous forged documents filed (at least two ostensibly being from me, but they were also forged: You can see them on PACER: www.pacer.gov 9th circuit court. One was docketed about November 10, 1999 and the other was docketed about March 4, 2000: Both dates by my recollection). That would have taken the cooperation of some very powerful people in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, possibly including a few judges. Further, every document filed in that case, from June 1999 through April 2000, was (illegally) not delivered to me when I was at FDC Seatac (until September 3, 1999) and when I was at FCI Phoenix from September 10, 1999 to my release on April 13, 2000. Indeed, there were at least two pieces of certified mail described in the docket for case 99-30210 that were mailed to my then-correct address at FCI Phoenix, which didn't get to me, presumably they were stolen by BOP staff at FCI Phoenix. (Not to mention my allegation that this entire docket was RE-forged once they learned that I had requested an appeal that I hadn't known was already in progress.)

Doesn't this begin to sound like the classic "government conspiracy" that people who don't like to talk about "government conspiracies" argue don't happen. (Except rarely, say the Watergate incident in 1972). One of the reasons that I look (way) down on a few of the doofuses around here (CP list) who don't seem to 'like' me is that they apparently take that position without taking the trouble to read my 2003 lawsuit (02-1052; Portland Federal Court) and learning what I allege the government and its minions did. It will be interesting to see if any of them step up, apologize, and say, "Sorry, Mr. Bell, we didn't know..."

observation: with regard to illegal and fraudulent tactics used in
your prosecution, court case, appeal, etc. it is wondered if the
corrupt actions of individuals may go beyond a severawl government
employees acting this way in isolation, and instead involve a hidden
or structural approach, such as a domestic FISA-like program, where
their actions are protected and so they are not concerned with issues
of their own wrong doing because they are acting as part of a larger
organized, coordinated effort. perhaps beyond normal processes though
still 'legal' due to secret laws or secret hearings or decisions
allowing this activity to occur. it seems more likely that activity
like this is signed-off-on by someone with authority than not, unless
there is total lawlessness within government and bureaucracy. i do not
know enough to know though tend to believe the fraudulent activities
must be structural not anomalous, given their coordination and purpose
to convict and create endless problems with the bureaucracy.

about the V2V cars- what is the likelihood that automobiles are _not
tagged in some way, just like computers, given that location or other
data is critically important and perhaps more easily accessible or
tracked outside of a particular environment, say run-ups to meetings
or whatever, the timeliness of data as it approaches a meeting point,
thus ramps up in criticality, say if a cellphone conversation decides
actions minutes before an encounter. or, to scan a city for someone
via satellites, pinging the missing submarine from satellite. given
highest priority to own every computer, how likely is it that vehicles
are not already being tracked, regardless of 'known technology' that
then brings this tracking into the open. even if via passive means,
giant RFID in the sky/net, say serial #s that reflect back with
vehicle title databases, mapping geographies this way, 100,000
vehicles return signals, as if looking at asphalt and concrete heavens
using astronomy software to parse star/car-names. either installed in
new vehicles by default, or when serviced if a focused customer.
perhaps not advanced beyond passive ping, though are vehicles really
driving around autonomously besides redlight cameras and speed traps?
doubt it.
