Is Tom Clancy available? Maybe an anonymous, detailed, plausible, (but secretly fictional) blog describing how someone did this in their podunk county... then leak this to a news reporter.. Failure to be *able* to assure that this *didn't* happen in that podunk county would make an important point. There have already been reports of electronic votes being reported, mysteriously, before the election precincts closed. We know the results are often fixed, but reporting the results before the polls are closed sorts of makes the point obvious even to the sheeple. But, like the current hullaballoo about spam and telemarketing, the larger issues are not being discussed. Providing more sound bites about why Washington needs to be more successfully targeted by Al Qaida, with a lot more destruction than the paltry efforts we saw on 9/11, is boring. The focus of this list in recent months on political lobbying activities is wrong-headed. We need to be working on ways to make Big Brother powerless, either through technology or through destroying his nests and his tens of millions of helpers.

http://www.regen.org/raid.htm This is the commune of the guy charged and released for toasting some Hummers. Getting RichardJewell'ed by the FBI. Oh yes, he is a peace activist who has protested the war in Iraq and actions of the Bush administration which is surely coincidental. CNN interviewed him 11pm Sat, and he's getting a lawyer. This interview was a few minutes before Declan talked about spam (and mentioned Eudora on CNN!)
vehicle tracking from inductive signatures
The loops in the road are, after all, analogue: A general vehicle reidentification system using inductive loop signatures to uniquely but anonymously track individual vehicles, has been formulated and tested in recent years at the University of California, Irvine. By using non-obtrusive and anonymous tracking methods, individual vehicles can be identified and correlated over numerous identification stations, and very specific real-time data can be obtained for each tracked vehicle.

Patriot act power grab in progress
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 The Bush administration, which calls the USA Patriot Act perhaps its most essential tool in fighting terrorists, has begun using the law with increasing frequency in many criminal investigations that have little or no connection to terrorism. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2cid=68u=/nyt/20030927/ts_nyt/ususesterrorlawtopursuecrimesfromdrugstoswindlingprinter=1 --- M.
