Plan to monitor all internet activity in U.S. by CIA/FBI Chief revealed in MSM
Submitted by johnkriii on Mon, 01/14/2008 - 22:08This is really unbelievable, former CIAer and current US Spychief Mike McConnell talks about the administration's "cyber space initiative". This is not some conspiracy, he's interviewed in the New Yorker magazine about it and I found this on the Wall Street Journal's website.
"At issue, McConnell acknowledges, is that in order to accomplish his plan, the government must have the ability to read all the information crossing the Internet in the United States in order to protect it from abuse. Congressional aides tell The Journal that they, too, are also anticipating a fight over civil liberties that will rival the battles over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."
We may have our concerns and differences about the campaign for RP, but this ought to inspire and bring us all back together to focus on what we are trying to stop and reverse!
Here's the link to the WSJ report

What a joke...
I have no doubts that they have the ability to do this...the internet was created by the military for crying out load....BUT this is an argument that they have been trying to win for a long time.
It will take a hell of a lot of server power to make this a reality and it will be a HUGE step backward in the speed of cyberspace in general considering the amount of filtering, packet switching, ect, ect
it's a funny article, blog...whatever...the first 3 paragraphs deal with spychief, the rest deals with some silly shit
not that its silly but
it is compared to monitoring all internet transmissions

What is begun in anger, ends in shame.
Define "Abuse"
Listen, there is nothing that an American citizen can say that is illegal. No matter what that idiot Lincoln tried to do - he was violating the Constitution.
I can say anything I want. I can Hate anyone I want: Especially the USA GOVERNMENT.
These idiots in our government have got to start reading the words of our Founding Fathers to realize that they are in direct violation of the Constitution and violating the Rights of WE the PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

This is how far wrong we've gone in giving up liberty in the name of safety.
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream-the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Ronald Reagan 1964 Republican Convention while there were 40,000 USSR nuclear weapons pointed at us, was that time similar to today?
