*   Said one of the surprised children: "How cheesy of our government!"


NSA's ECHELON goes beyond any system Americans would EVER approve.

That's why we weren't asked.

If the full scope of ECHELON had been made public and debated
in Congress and passed: civil war would have broken out.

The CALEA bill was suddenly brought to a quick
vote on the last day of Congress' session.

Congress should be ashamed of itself.

Have you NO IDEA what is at stake?

We ARE at a crossroads.

Passage of pro-crypto legislation is an important first step for backing
away from the abyss of having every single aspect of our lives --- including
our telephone calls --- monitored by computer for the UKUSA International
Secret Government.

Even the Prime Minister of New Zealand wasn't told about it.

Even the director of the NSA wasn't told about it, until after a year
[ Puzzle Palace, p333 ] of UKUSA deciding if he was "one of them".

And, as documented in the books I've been referencing, when the director
of the NSA knows about it and testifies before Congress, UKUSA not only
lies about their activities, they also do so with impunity.

A Secret Government?
