scroll down to NSA First Fruits: Is this site being monitored ? posted by a "George W Maschke"

Last I heard of was this re Wayne Madsen and mostly WashDC reporters

""Firstfruits was a database that contained both the articles and the transcripts of telephone and other communications of particular Washington journalists known to report on sensitive U.S. intelligence activities, particularly those involving NSA. According to NSA sources, the targeted journalists included author James Bamford, the New York Times' James Risen, the Washington Post's Vernon Loeb, the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh, the Washington Times' Bill Gertz, UPI's John C. K. Daly, and this editor , who has written about NSA for The Village Voice, CAQ, Intelligence Online, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). ""

Wasssup ?

BTW, the disgruntled exNSAers who posted to the antipolygraph.org site may wish to read the background check article below:

Total Surveillance
http://www.motherjones.com/interview/2005/12/albrecht.h ...

Couple this insidious technology with purposely erroneous background checks

Who is checking the background checkers?

Info tampering could have prevented them from getting work or been used to retaliate against them. Food for thought.

2. Check the stuff on RFIDs in book Spychips
And you realize that "they" can track/trace anyone in the US who buys, say, undershorts at Wal-Mart...yet cannot locate a terrorist with kidney dialysis requirements ensconced in the Hindu Kush.

The stuff on background checks, and the inherent embedded databases, now offshored in the Bahamas with Global Information Group Ltd (Ben H. Bell III'ds company) using ChoicePoint -- whose record of security and reliability of info is bleak...

Beyond that, the FBI and CIA are notorious for hiring only conservatives into their ranks. Time Magazine Aug. 4, 1997, page 52, article 'Kingdom Come' by D. Van Biema, says "...the FBI and CIA...have instituted Mormon recruitment plans..."

We already know about the CIA's Knights of Malta since its inception: Wm 'Wild Bill' Donovan, James Jesus Angleton, Wm Colby, Wm Casey, Allen Dulles, Reinhard Gehlen (thru Op Paperclip), etc., etc.
And most recently the FBI spy Robert Hanssen, who belongs to Opus Dei. The embedded conservatives, with access to everyone's records, offshore, privatized, and without oversight...

Adds up to fascism, via corporatism, if you ask me.
