![Censorship]() Attacking
DARPA's Total Information Awareness effort and publicizing satellite photographs of John
Poindexter's (head of TIA) house is probably what got me this. I guess
that when it comes to surveillance, what is good for the goose is not good for the
gander.
Imagine my consternation at reading the following:

This means the Psy-Op list at Yahoogroups is no longer functional as only the
account [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is able to approve messages and
subscriptions is gone. There even seems to be some attempt to prevent people
from accessing the public archives at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psy-op/messages
but when you get to the blank page that results by clicking on the url, you
can refresh for the archives (but if you want to archive any of the info
therein, I would hurry: my under_the_gun list, just last year, suddenly found
itself missing some three thousand messages). Attacking DARPA's Total
Information Awareness effort and publicizing satellite photographs
of John
Poindexter's (head of TIA) house is probably what got me this. I guess
that when it comes to surveillance, what is good for the goose is not good for the
gander. I consider myself to have been hit by a known Iran-Contra felon.
Included in this post (scroll down) is a synopsis of why I have been targeted
recently, including all the dangerous links themselves, but first a look at
what got me targetted initially in 1999, the year of Jam Echelon Day and of
the Battle in Seattle:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~I garnered governmental attention by fathering a stunt commonly known as Jam
Echelon Day. Cooked up in the fall of 1999, it was a largely publicity
oriented campaign designed to shed some light on a system of electroni! c
surveillance that had gone on unchecked, indeed even unrecognized for too
long. Since it is harder for someone to get information from you that you
wish kept secret if you know that they are there, we dove headlong into it
and by "we" I mean myself and Grant Bayley - HTML designer for the
original JED website at wiretapped.net. Of course, after its launch, the
world took over spreading the word. Six months or so later, Echelon was
detailed on Sixty Minutes having gone from being a nutty conspiracy theory to
knowledge in the public domain. It is the kind of thing that will get you on
the shit list of the powerful.~
The original campaign
The village voice on the event: an article based
on a by-phone interview i conducted with Sarah Ferguson under the name of
robert kemp
~This accomplished another thing that I consider important: the sp! re ading
of some revolutionary memes or paradigms. Firstly, some people became
acquainted, for the first time, with the notion that two people who were not
among the "powerful" could spark a global movement. Secondly, that
the campaign was taken up globally in several languages said to the world,
"We can be one."
Needless to say, these paradigms are the enemy of social control. We made the
National Security Agency look bad and in the ensuing three years I would be
subject to an insidious variety of psychological operations designed to
destabilize and discredit. Various manner of confusing techniques would be
used after a few months of having operatives "befriend" me in order
to discover what made me tick. By getting an idea of my belief system it
would become easier to undo my "uppitiness." I would be targeted
for "re-education."
A program designed to track down corporate critics called Cybersleuth would
enable such entities to track me for such purposes. The abil! it y to
pin-point the geographical precision your detractors was used as one of the
selling points in the marketing of this program. I would later read that the
CIA used the term "re-education" to mean, quite literally,
brainwashing.~
Cybersleuth
is where the following paragraph is quoted from:
Tracking so-called "perpetrators" is also part of the service, says
eWatch National Product Manager Ted Skinner. That´s done by "using a
variety of methods, such as following leads found in postings and Web sites,
working with ISPs, involving law enforcement, conducting virtual stings and
other tactics," he says.
~There is a man named James Glave that writes for Wired magazine and it was
wired that first picked up our campaign. James Glave was on the Hacktivism
list during all discussions of the planned event so he was in on all of the
information from the get go. Yet, when he wrote the a! rt icle for Wired,
entitled ´Hackers
Ascend Upper Echelon,´ the text contained grossly innacurate information.
For one, the event was said to have been initiated by Linda Thompson´s
American Justice Federation, a right-wing tank of people that I would come,
over the years, to know as fame-starved and unscrupulous. Linda Thompson was
not on the list nor was she involved in any way. Also, the date of the event
was misrepresented as October 18, 1999 instead of October 21 as per the
globally distributed alert. This was designed, in my opinion, to have the
following effects:
1. By attributing the event to the AJF and associating it with Linda
Thompson, it would be sneered at, even laughed at as just another right-wing
paranoia push.
2. By claiming the date as October 18 instead of October 21, confusion would
be wrought taking steam out of the campaign.
3. With the date switch, the side sought! -a fter affect of Jam Echelon Day
which was that, in case it DID create logistical problems for the NSA´s
computers this would allow for organizers of the NEXT DAY´S Stop Police
Brutality Day to plan with less spooky oversight.~
~What I would later find out is that Wired magazine employs a significant
amount of ex-NSA employees.~
MASSIVE DISINFO
CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY RE: JAM ECHELON DAY
Robert Kemp ( [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Thu, 07 Oct 1999 13:38:01 EDT
~The above link refers to the disinformation campaign that I speak of. In
response to the dissemination of this second alert, James Glave´s cronie
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would email me and threaten me, albeit vaguely. Over the
next three years I would have some twenty email accounts hacked into, have
passwords changed, etc.
Considering that the NSA is the world´s largest employer of mathemeticians
and that the NSA is the premier governm! en tal surveillance outfit - AND
that the internet WAS devised by the Department of Defense, it is no surprise
that I would be easily tracked over the next three years of travelling and
"worked on." Perhaps I should have taken heed early in the
campaign. After posting the alert to about fifty newsgroups, I arrived at a
newsgroup entitled NSA-info (if I recall correctly). As the newsgroup´s
window popped up on my screen I noticed that someone had posted something
entitled ´Echelon´ just two minutes prior to my own arrival at the newsgroup.
"How serendipitous," I thought. All the text read was
"Listening..."
Not serendipitous but contrived.
