February 3, 2006

We have heard there has been much unhappiness over the article on the control of the Internet and, interestingly enough, what we had to say about the government using the television set on cable to snoop on you in your home. This is not a Bush invention but has been going for at least twenty years as has the following program, sent to us by a reader who worked at the Bell Labs at Holmdel, New Jersey in the 1980s. They stated that “… the standard telephone can be used as a listening device the same way. And you didn't need to be present. Any phone in the country could be called and the line 'engaged' without a ring tone, similar to what calling a BBS does, or dial-up. Then the microphone inside the phone was usable as a transmitter. The FBI didn't need wiretaps. Any schmoe sitting in an office could collect what you were saying in your bedroom. In 1985 we could use the duplex characteristic of the any landline phone. This is exactly the same technology that Sanyo used in their answering machines when it introduced room monitors back then.”

We also have a file on the use by the DHS and the FBI of the GPS system to keep track of your car. They either use the system built into the car (with the eager cooperation of the car companies who, like all the internet providers and SBC and AT&T to assist their government spy on their customers) or they attach, by means of a magnet, a GPS device underneath your car. That way, they can sit in their offices, not far from the donut boxes, and see exactly where you are going. One can always disconnect the factory position locator and it would take a mechanic about three minutes to find the magnetic kind by putting your car up on the rack and looking. A friend of mine found one of these after I had tipped him off, and asked me what to do with it. I told him he could smash it flat and dump it down a drain or, better still, stick it up under someone else’s car in a church parking lot on Sunday. This way, when the FBI clicks onto your frequency, they will be puzzled by your driving habits. This way, you confuse them even more than usual, plus you cost them money. On Monday, we will return to the political scene and a possible scenario of What George Bush Found Under his Dog’s Tail.
