BBV - having trouble with latest thread

[grasswire]

I keep getting knocked out of that thread. Spooks, or memory problem?

In any event, I wanted to post this info to Bev so here 'tis.



"SAIC is not only working as a private military contractor for the Pentagon, but also for the CIA. SAIC supports the navy and air defenses of Saudi Arabia (C4 systems for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces program)."

1. It was also developing the trailblazer information gathering

system for NSA. But since AEI did not like how NSA kept their books, the NSA spending was turned over to the Pentagon in last month's appropriation bill.

By the way, SAIC was also contracted by the IRS to review their new efiling system.

2. Grasswire, I found a reference to GHWB on SAIC Board:

I posted it to the other site but thought you would like to check it out, too, since you can't get on:

MORE BAD NEWS FOR PRIVACY: PGP GONE BAD


NAI, makers of McAfee Virus software, bought Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) for $35 mil in 1997. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) then bought NAI. Both George H. W. Bush and Bobby Inman, the Naval admiral and former NSA chief involved with the Iran-Contra affair and other dark side government affairs, are former directors of SAIC. So is Clinton Secretary of Defense William Perry. SAIC has so many links to the Pentagon that, like Dyncorp, it is considered by many to be a government shill. With so many dealings with government the buyout of PGP by SAIC should be viewed as extremely suspicious. Bobby Inman was a big promoter of the concept that Government must control all encryption. PGP was the only private holdout for years and is good enough to cause government spooks much lost sleep. Phil Zimmerman, the anti-government creator of PGP says that copies of its encryption software which were sold before Fall 2001, when he left NAI, are solid, but future versions may be tainted. So beware. If you have existing copies of PGP obtained prior to fall of last year, do not upgrade to any new versions.

Don't know how reliable this Joel Skousen is. His home page says he was a member of several conservative organizations.
