control its secret agencies, it is essential
that the public and politicians have the information and the will to do so.
P113
Good encryption systems, such as PGP, developed privately by American Phil
Zimmerman, are publicly available, although they are still used only by
relatively few people in the know.
The UKUSA agencies have been attempting to curb the spread of this technology,
which is a major threat to their influence, so far without enough success to
stop it.
It remains to be seen how much the public can find a technological answer to
maintaining privacy in a world with systems like ECHELON.
*** end of 'Secret Power' excerpt
******************************************************************************
Throughout the Cold War, the United States government pounded into us again
and again how Russia and China were evil because they monitored and controlled
the political expression of their people, had sham laws and sham courts, all
dedicated to maintaining the power of the all-important State.
How the philosophy of communism was the rights of the individual were
subservient to the needs of the State, as determined by the State.
i.e. the antithesis of constitutional democracy
Ironically, it was the United States that built
the ultimate Orwellian surveillance mechanism.
There was no public discussion about it.
And used sham laws: Executive Orders and Congressional legislation.
To create a secret agency and a secret sham court.
Used repeatedly to control lawful domestic political protest.
The Soviet Union and China we were told to fear.
