How exactly have they "verified the authenticity of the document"? They seem to leave that bit out.

I really ought to do a vector of that. I've contributed some other vector covers to Wikipedia, and those weren't even for albums I like.

Because Fuckalms brought up Wiki let me help you out re the coming. Fact is it came looooong ago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON

Started in early 60's and is one hell of a system - Huge and spread out over Planet Earth. Satellite systems that are huge in space.

Just a bit to get ya going

ECHELON is a name used in global media and in popular culture to describe a signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection and analysis network operated on behalf of the five signatory states to the UKUSA Security Agreement[1] (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, referred to by a number of abbreviations, including AUSCANNZUKUS[1] and Five Eyes).[2][3] It has also been described as the only software system which controls the download and dissemination of the intercept of commercial satellite trunk communications.[4]

ECHELON was reportedly[by whom?] created to monitor the military and diplomatic communications of the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc allies during the Cold War in the early 1960s.[citation needed]

The system has been reported in a number of public sources.[5] Its capabilities and political implications were investigated by a committee of the European Parliament during 2000 and 2001 with a report published in 2001,[6] and by author James Bamford in his books on the National Security Agency of the United States.[4] The European Parliament stated in its report that the term ECHELON is used in a number of contexts, but that the evidence presented indicates that it was the name for a signals intelligence collection system. The report concludes that, on the basis of information presented, ECHELON was capable of interception and content inspection of telephone calls, fax, e-mail and other data traffic globally through the interception of communication bearers including satellite transmission, public switched telephone networks (which once carried most Internet traffic) and microwave links.[6]

Bamford describes the system as the software controlling the collection and distribution of civilian telecommunications traffic conveyed using communication satellites, with the collection being undertaken by ground stations located in the footprint of the downlink leg.

Pay by the way not so great as its regular US Gov in pay grade but advanced technology to work with is is is...wonderful

I honestly didn't think that they would be going after the most used tools in the world. It didn't shock me, but it woke me up. There's no good reason for this bullshit to happen.

I'm not sure to be honest, but some US spokespersons are now trying to spin it. So I'm assuming it's not terribly inaccurate.

Not to make this political, but when the Patriot Act was passed there were those who said "but if you aren't doing anything wrong, there's no problem". Then the other side said "yes, but they are going to watch every move you make just to make sure".
If anyone thinks they aren't collecting as much information as possible about you and what you do, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with terrorism, they are delusional. Unfortunately, many who said " oh, no problem" over 10 years ago now say:

> I honestly didn't think that they would be going after the most used tools in the world. It didn't shock me, but it woke me up.

Too little, too late.

Even the introducer of the Patriot Act is sputtering and back pedaling. It's not as if those fuckers weren't warned and I am absolutely fucking livid.

It wasn't only the Patriot Act though. I wonder who signed the Patriot Act into law. I think it was a dumbass. A republican dumbass. And then a democrat dumbass didn't remove the law, but extended it. Fucking dumbasses.
