Children turn their parents into the police on two-bit drug charges. Classmates tattle on one another to school officials. Friends rat each other out to the authorities. Political advocacy groups report suspected dissidents to the FBI. Employers hire undercover agents to spy on workers. Lawyers are forced to report clients who pay with cash to law enforcement agencies. Welcome to Snitch Culture, a surveillance society far more insidious and pervasive than anything George Orwell ever imagined. Elected officials from both political parties have spent decades building a vast domestic intelligence network to track every man, woman and child. * The government's new high-tech surveillance systems, including the FBI's Carnivore Internet monitoring computer and the National Security Agency's spy- in-the-sky, ECHELON. * The government's efforts to turn America's children into informants with sophisticated snitch programs in the public schools, including the coming national WAVE American tip line. * How informants are fueling the growing assets forfeiture scandal. * How the War on Drugs uses informants to oppress inner city blacks. * The government's successful infiltration of the growing Anti-Globalization Movement. * The role of private informant networks through history, from the early prohibition movements to the anti- Communist superpatriot groups of the 1950s to the so-called civil rights watchdog organizations of today. "No one is safe in Snitch Culture. Investigative reporter Jim Redden has written a scary, fascinating, and important examination of the pervasive use and abuse of informants and snitches in the United States. Detailing the many forms and techniques used by governmental and private sectors, Snitch Culture traces the history and the massive modern proliferation of this most despised and feared tool of power." --Katherine Dunn, author, Geek Love Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 1 Living in the Surveillance Society PART ONE 6 Big Brother in the 21st Century CHAPTER ONE 7 Instruments of Destruction CHAPTER TWO 14 Choice of Evils CHAPTER THREE 26 24/7 Surveillance CHAPTER FOUR 39 The Digital Snitch CHAPTER FIVE 46 Corporate Origins of the Snitch Culture CHAPTER SIX 54 Uncle Sam Wants You . . . to Snitch CHAPTER SEVEN 60 The Federal Intelligence Infrastructure CHAPTER EIGHT 74 Private Intelligence Networks CHAPTER NINE 90 Mass Media Propaganda PART TWO 98 The National Security Surveillance State CHAPTER TEN 99 America's War on You CHAPTER ELEVEN 107 Domestic Deniability CHAPTER TWELVE 115 What Did They Know, and When Did They Know It?
