My sig line is treasonous and evil!

[BloodyWilliam]

From my extremely short tenure on anncoulter.com's forum (two days. Heh, they didn't ban me until I sunk to their level) I learned something interesting. My sig line is treasonous! I am a traitor!

Apparantly my dropping hotwords in every post it jamming up Echelon system, which is in turn damaging national security by wasting the NSA's precious time and bandwidth. :wtf:

I responded with a few points. First, it's not right to be watched without reason. These alleged laissez faire conservatives apparantly don't mind if a big brother watches every word they type on the internet. I believe I said it best, "If you're gonna watch me, it's your own fault if you see my ass when I moon you."

Beyond that... what sort of horrible terrorist would actually say, in english no less, "We're gonna blow up the white house!"?

I actually favor dirty intelligence if it works my way. I have little ethical problem with assassination of leaders if it means it'll prevent war. But the point of intelligence is that people do it. People who, while imperfect, can learn and adapt. Trusting an Echelon-like system to look out for threats is like using an online bot to translate a language. It might technically work because it's programmed to recognize things, but it'll come out all wrong. The only reliable way to do it right is to pick up a book and translate it yourself.

So... um... yeah. Guess I'm a traitor.

Or as I like to say, patriot. :hippie:

1. So it's treasonous to write:

FBI CIA NSA IRS ATF BATF DOD WACO RUBY RIDGE OKC OKLAHOMA CITY MILITIA GUN HANDGUN MILGOV ASSAULT RIFLE TERRORISM BOMB DRUG HORIUCHI KORESH DAVIDIAN KAHL POSSE COMITATUS RANDY WEAVER VICKIE WEAVER SPECIAL FORCES LINDA THOMPSON SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP SOG SOF DELTA FORCE CONSTITUTION BILL OF RIGHTS WHITEWATER POM PARK ON METER ARKANSIDE IRAN CONTRAS OLIVER NORTH VINCE FOSTER PROMIS MOSSAD NASA MI5 ONI CID AK47 M16 C4 MALCOLM X REVOLUTION CHEROKEE HILLARY BILL CLINTON GORE GEORGE BUSH WACKENHUT TERRORIST TASK FORCE 160 SPECIAL OPS 12TH GROUP 5TH GROUP ?

That's very interesting.

What's a "Wackenhut"?

7. Wackenhut.

Private serurity firm. Useless group of indivduals really. I had them working for me when I was Night Manager at a hotel. I felt better protected getting to know the drug dealers staying at my place and keeping a baseball bat behind the desk. At least the abt didn't crawl off and go to sleep on me.

5. What a cool idea! People should put that in their web pages!

Squillions of web pages about everything from "My Cute Kitty Photo Gallery" to "1001 Windows Links" to "Our Hawaiian Wedding," spammed up with regimebot bait!

6. A few words about 'Echelon':

Probably the most under-estimated bit of electronic gadgetry ever invented with a massive prime directive of.....propagating counter-intelligence.

More crooks, dim-wits and dissaffected convicted felons have been caught out after trying to hack their way into its main frame than the security services themseles have ever caught through conventional detection methods.

One of the best known uses of Echelon was to track down IRA members and former UK security service personnel who were fighting a 'private war' in Northern Ireland and going on a murder rampage of Irish citizens involved in drug money laundering.

Echelon was also used successfully to plant plausible rubbish for espionage suspects to hack into, so as to expose a trail leading back to convicted speis like Aldrich Ames.

It is said that Echelon's very existence is in itself the most superb counter-intelligence for the true 'big brother' in the sky that monitors and knows all.

8. Is this treasonous? Hmmm. So then I am...
