After all if stealing is the taking of something that does not beling to you, it reasons that what ever was taken unlawfully is the property of someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When dealing with property  that had been promised to be sold and the money to be given to the worl of the Lord, Peter asks Ananias, the one who , with his wife pledged the money gotten from the sale of property to the work of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Act 5:4  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was it NOT THINE OWN? Peter reaffirms in this scripture that the man did have property rights, and that a certain piece was in fact HIS OWN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is something interesting to note, God states that when a prophet keeps away Gods word from Gods people , he is stealing that which is rightfully theirs to have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jerimiah 23:30  Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor. &lt;br /&gt;Romans 2:21  Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact the Bible states simply that one who would take another man's property is a thief:&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes the theft is sneaky sometime violent and so God, in order to prevent theft also states that we should not even Covet or Desire another mans posessions. In fact theft can go so far as to include adultery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mar 6:17  For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.&lt;br /&gt;Mar 6:18  For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; He stole her. She was another mans wife he desired her and took her and married her. God, through John said to "give her back"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So God Says Exo 20:17  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thou shalt not covet &lt;/span&gt;thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God establishes that somethings do infact BELONG to individuals and that stealing those things, taking them away, either through deciet or force is a sin. He then states that even coveting those things is a SIN.  And JUST in case you wanted an interpretation, and to avoid any mental gymnastics God helps aong with Deuteronomy 5:21  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Neither shalt thou desire&lt;/span&gt; thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God was so concerned with the propection of a man or womans property and even his family that he placed at least two commandments of the ten that directly protect that right. One the direct act, and TWO the thoughts and sinful desires that would lead to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jas 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.&lt;br /&gt;Jas 1:15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE also, that ultimatly the owner of YOU is the owner of your stuff. Your Property is in fact God's peoperty. If you allow it to be stolen....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1Co 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.&lt;br /&gt;1Co 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;and ye are not your own? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1Co 6:20  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;For ye are bought with a price:&lt;/span&gt; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now God has entrusted us with his blessings, yet we are HIS. He has given us, as stewards HIS property and blessings. If we allow someone to steal it or destroy it? Either through neglect or michief.. Please read   Exodus 22 1-17 Here below is an excerpt:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exodus 22:7  If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.&lt;br /&gt;Exo 22:8  If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets face it.. God has given us some wonderful things...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-7798430103534686298?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/7798430103534686298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=7798430103534686298' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/7798430103534686298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/7798430103534686298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2009/03/thou-shalt-not-steal.html' title='Thou Shalt Not Steal'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-2737682056998355046</id><published>2008-04-01T07:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-01T08:44:54.264-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ALONE is PRIVATE</title><content type='html'>When you are concerned about what folks know about you for one &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;reason&lt;/span&gt; or another, you need to practice a little privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Banking is out of the question for anyone who wishes to have any financial privacy at all. That being said one can possibly have an account for the purpose of say disinformation as well as for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;innocuous&lt;/span&gt; dealings for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;extremely&lt;/span&gt; small amounts, but not for business or for the holding of any personal wealth. But remember any bank account puts you in bed with the beast and destroys your privacy. ( &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;They&lt;/span&gt; will know you name, SS number( if you have one) your address, and will have done a full credit check on you revealing all the rest of your life to get one)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If banking is out of the question, at least for most of your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;existence&lt;/span&gt;, then so is using CHEQUES and DEBT cards and CREDIT CARDS. All of these leave a paper trail.

The court said the right of access to court proceedings and records predates both the state and federal constitutions.&lt;/span&gt; The decision relied heavily on the New Hampshire Constitution, which says power comes from the people. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;"To that end, the public's right of access to governmental proceedings and records shall not be unreasonably restricted,"&lt;/span&gt;  The Associated Press v. New Hampshire. &lt;p&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Davis v. Freedom of Information Commission&lt;/i&gt;, 259 Conn. 45 (2001) the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the Drivers Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) does not apply to other government agencies who receive personal information from the State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in the course of their normal government functions. Therefore, records compiled by the office of the tax assessor, which were based on state motor vehicle records, were publicly accessible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Excerpt of a ruling by Judge Kenneth Johnson, Indianapolis, Indiana, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"The great public interest in the reporting, investigation and prosecution of child abuse trumps even the patient's interest in privileged communication with her physicians because, in the end, both the patient and the state are benefited by the disclosure," &lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Las Vegas Review v.

Luna</title><content type='html'>I have just read J.J. Luna's Book and would recommend others to do the same, Mr. Luna is very careful about the information that he gives and it works. privacy is not simple but it is worth it. If you want to be exploited, then do NOT READ this BOOK, if however your privacy is worth protecting and you have no desire to have your ID stolen the by all means READ "HOW TO BE INVISIBLE" by J.J. LUNA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal Notes: It seems that one thing is lacking and that is J.J. misunderstanding of the criminal element of our so called Federal occupiers. He is very careful to make sure that you understand that he is no " Tax protester" and that one must File. That being the exception, this book hits right on. He also give contact information for  establishing a New Mexico Limited Liability company that is very reasonable in price as opposed to the thousands of FRN's that others are charging. On Page 107 he gives an answer to the question&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Can I avoid giving my social security number on the basis of Revelation, chapter 13?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt; His Answer:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I assume you are referring to the belief, held sincerely by some, that a SS number is "the mark of the beast". it is true that , in the past several persons have won court cases objecting on religious grounds to state requirements for a SS number in collection to receiving a driver;s license. In Leahy v District of Columbia, the circuit court upheld John C Leahy's religious conviction to providing his SS number in order to get a driver's license. &lt;br&gt; Later, 5 plaintiff sued the City of Los Angeles on religious objection grounds, objecting to the states requirement that driver's license applicants must provide a SS number as a condition to getting a license. They won the case in the State Superior Court, but i have since heard the state appealed that decision.&lt;br /&gt;An October 25th 1997, a headline in the LA TIMES said "Religious Objections to DMV UPHELD' The subtitle was "Judge Says Five Men Do Not Need Social Security Number's To Get Licenses. They Contend That The Identification I The Satanic 'Mark of The Beast'" by John Dart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get the feeling that JJ does not agree with their theology but he does stand up for their convictions.  He tells his readers if their true religious convictions is in agreement with these 5 individuals then stand your ground, but if not he states " Join the rest of US who do furnish the number when ever absolutely necessary,.. but never otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Advice is the same, EXCEPT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A NUMBER. THE NUMBER IS NOT MANDATORY to HAVE. JJ Seems to think that it IS. In this I believe he is wrong. I Also believe that if you "got  a Number" but did so under threat of coercion, or were simply LIED to in order to get you to get one. that you DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE ONE. No agreement has legal binding, regardless what a bunch of SS number possessing judges say, when done under fraud, coercion or threat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: YOU do not have a SS number, The Number is a number assigned to YOU, the NUMBER is the property of and creation of the Government.

It is in a 3 day trial, but I have proven it a little by going to verious search engines online that maintain a list of words searched for. ( Dogpile keeps a running list of your searches that I have not figured out how to remove, I even called them at infoseak and spoke to customer service and left a message for their tech support folks, but they never bothered to get back with me, so I suggest never using them unless you are going to use an IP hiding program) I have now tried to use the HideMyIP2007 on dogpile and sure enough when the IP is changed there is no record of searches on their site. So so far at least I would have to recomend this program. I will post a link to it once my trial is up if I think it is worth it.&lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN Christ &lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Preacher.&lt;P&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-6069306024613652059?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/6069306024613652059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=6069306024613652059' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/6069306024613652059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/6069306024613652059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2007/06/hide-my-ip.html' title='Hide My IP'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-2641898598409899402</id><published>2007-06-18T05:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-18T05:40:59.634-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IP address change privacy'/><title type='text'>Changing your I address for privacy reasons only</title><content type='html'>First of all let me let you folks know, that I am not the author of this, I do not know all the legal stuff about it and do not endourse anything illegal or nasty that someone could possibly do with this. That being said. I think that it is a good idea, or could be a good ideA, not to let the whole world know who you are at times. The fact is that many websites track you and monitor your business online. WITHOUT YOUR SAY SO. that being understood as a "given", it seems to me that any attempt on your part to "Hide" your ISP for non fraud reasons is inharmonsy with the word of God.&lt;P&gt;Pro 22:3  A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.&lt;P&gt;Pro 27:12  A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. &lt;P&gt;Pro 14:16  A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. &lt;P&gt; I have deleated some of his ideas about stealing and a few other "Ideas' that he had that were 'unchristian"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Changing IP Addresses by ANONYMOUS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I. About&lt;br /&gt;This tutorial will teach you how to change your ip address to any other one on your ip range instead of having your DHCP Server pick one for you. ... it is also usefull to get around a bans as long as the ban only covered your ip not your whole ip range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As usualy anything illegal you do while reading this tutorial or after reading this tutorial is not my fault, your actions are your own so don't blame me. I do not claim that the things I teach are legal, so concider that everything i mention here is illegal if you are not sure your self."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;II. Needed Information&lt;br /&gt;Before you can change your ip you need some information. This information includes your ip range, subnet mask, default gateway, dhcp server, and dns serv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Getting your IP range - Getting information about your ip range is not difficult, I recomend using Neo Trace on your own ip. But for our test just look at your ip address, say it's 24.193.110.13 you can definetly use the ip's found between 24.193.110.1 &lt; [new ip] &lt; 24.193.110.255, dont use x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.255. To find your ip simply open a dos/command prompt window and type ipconfig at the prompt, look for "IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.x".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DHCP Server - These are very easy to find, just open a dos/command prompt window and type 'ipconfig /all' without the ' '. You should see something like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Windows IP Configuration&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : My Computer Name Here&lt;br /&gt;Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :&lt;br /&gt;Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown&lt;br /&gt;IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No&lt;br /&gt;WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : xxxx.xx.x&lt;br /&gt;Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (NGRPCI)&lt;br /&gt;Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX&lt;br /&gt;Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes&lt;br /&gt;Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes&lt;br /&gt;IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.xxx.xxx.xx&lt;br /&gt;Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0&lt;br /&gt;Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 24.xxx.xxx.x&lt;br /&gt;DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.xx.xxx.xx&lt;br /&gt;DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.xx.xxx.xxx&lt;br /&gt;24.xx.xxx.xx&lt;br /&gt;24.xx.xxx.xxx&lt;br /&gt;Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Monday, January 20, 2003 4:44:08 PM&lt;br /&gt;Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Tuesday, January 21, 2003 3:43:16 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is all the information you will need for now, I sugest you either keep your dos/command prompt window open or copy &amp; paste the information somewhere, to copy right click the window and select text and click once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;III. Changing your IP Address&lt;br /&gt;To change your ip address first pick any ip you like out of your ip range and remember it or write it down. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;It is usualy a good idea to make sure the ip is dead &lt;/span&gt;... so just ping it via "ping x.x.x.x" and if it times out then you can use it. Now go to My Computer, then Control Panel. In Control Panel select Network Connections and pick your active connection, probably Local Area Connection or your ISP name. Open that connection by double clicking on the icon in Network Connections, then select Properties under the General Tab. In the new window that pops up select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties, it's under the general tab. In this new window select the General tab and choose "Use the following IP address" and for the IP address enter the ip you would like to use (the one you picked from your subnet earlier) and for the Subnet Mask enter the subnet mask you got when your ran ipconfig /all, same goes for the Default Gateway. Now select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter the information you got earlier. Now just click OK. Test that it worked, try to refresh a website and if it works you know everything is okay and you are connected. To make sure the change worked type ipconfig agein and the ip address should have changed to your new one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IV. DDoS &amp; DoS Protection&lt;br /&gt;If your firewall shows that you are being ddosed, this is usualy when you are constantly getting atempted UDP connections several times a second from either the same ip address or multiple ip addresses (ddos), you can protect your self by changing your ip address via the method i described above&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope this helps the author is unknown but if I find out I'll edit the post and put his name...hope this helps.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-2641898598409899402?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/2641898598409899402/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=2641898598409899402' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/2641898598409899402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/2641898598409899402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2007/06/changing-your-i-address-for-privacy.html' title='Changing your I address for privacy reasons only'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-116374344992951718</id><published>2006-11-16T21:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-16T22:04:10.216-08:00</updated><title type='text'>NO Such thing as Privacy Anymore?</title><content type='html'>Here are a set of YOUTUBE videos from CNBC's Big Brother, Big Business, every nightmare for privacy and simply being an American in America is shown to be a thing of the past.&lt;br /&gt; Please watch them all...

Granted some of the folks were just being paranoid no doubt, nevertheless others were convinced and quite possibly for good reasons. Personally I do not think that I am all that interesting and no one would want to bug me, I have nothing to hide, but that is not the point is it! The point is that a person has a right to be secure in their person and their privacy. &lt;p&gt;That being said might I also suggest that if you do not want others to know what is on your mind be careful about what you say and to whom it is said and when, the bible states clearly:Ecc 10:20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter." And if you are attempting to hide EVIL intentions and are looking for privacy in order to do harm to others remember Luk 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.&lt;br /&gt;Luk 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. &lt;p&gt;Have you listened in to hear someone say something bad about you, remember that just because someone says something in the heat of anger or otherwise is no reason to seek their harm or revenge :Ecc 7:21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:&lt;br /&gt;Ecc 7:22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway Back to being bugged.&lt;br /&gt;Have a little since,&lt;br /&gt;1.Public places, watch your mouth:Pro 18:7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. Pro 12:23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. If you are in a public place and you itter all your business you have no right to claim privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Home and other places that are assumed private and secure: Who is with you? Loose lips sink ships.. Remember the little bird and the wall that have ears. Believe it or not , not everyone in the world has your best interest at heart and there are folks in competition with you that just might use your words against in you in business, family and even , believe it or not Government. (Just imagine an offended person who knows a corrupt government official and can get to the data bases and use the wherewithall of Big Brother to harass you) (Not to mention the up and coming problems with RFID SPY CHIPS right around the corner these devices might be quote handy)&lt;br /&gt;Anyway Your home should be secure at least.

A person can be called by someone and that person says HOLD ON PLEASE JUST A SEC. You say OK.. And then you hear a dead sound and think you are on hold. When in actuality you have just had your phone turned into a listening device where they can here you and you can not hear them... This is advertised as &lt;a href="http://www.telstarone.com/cs_holdin.htm"&gt;"&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Hold Invader&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hold Invader is one of the most unique and unusual telephone surveillance devices to become available in years. The Hold Invader was originally developed and manufactured for a U.S. federal investigative agency for their agents' use as an investigative tool. It has proven to have the potential to acquire important information in a timely, unique, and warrant less manner, that might otherwise be unattainable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what exactly does the Hold Invader do? Quite simply, the other party on your telephone call thinks he's on "hold", but in actuality it's a "phantom hold" and in fact his phone has been effectively turned into a super sensitive room bug! Investigators can use this unit to achieve devastatingly effective results when they believe the other party is not alone at his location. They will proceed to ask a question or make a provocative statement regarding the desired subject, and then say something like "I've got another call coming in, can you hold for a minute?". It even has a "call waiting" sound simulator built in that you can use first. Then the unit's "hold" switch is activated. The other party hears the distinctive "dead" sound of being on "hold" and has the nearly universal (but totally unwarranted!) feeling of privacy. They have no idea that the Hold invader sophisticated amplification electronics have effectively turned their phone into a super-sensitive room bug! They may be conversing freely there, very likely about the topic you just planted, having no idea that you are listening to every word said. And you don't need to worry about the other party hearing you while the Hold Invader is activated, since it automatically cuts off your phone's microphone while activated. ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spooktech.com/"&gt;SPOOK TECH&lt;/a&gt; offers a Scrambler on their website that the bill as a means of scrambling and securing an analog phone conversation, both parties have the scrambler, when activated the conversation is PRIVATE. It is called the Enigma 100&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="enigma" src="http://www.spooktech.com/teledev/anima100.gif" /&gt;595FRN's &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also found a neat detector online that fits on a keychain and detects Camera spying at the &lt;a href="http://www.spyemporium.com/bug_camera_wire_tap_detectors_spy_camera_detector_01CD.html"&gt;Spy Emporium (713) 774-1000 &lt;/a&gt;Which looks like a good idea if you are going into a situation where you are not in control.

I am simply getting tired of all the godless perpetrators who are doing everything they can to rob us of all our individuality and manhood. More to the point I am tired of the sheep going along with it to the point of being indistinguishable from the wolves that prey on them. And so presented here for your entertainment purposes only and not as any legal advice, ( as though you would take legal advice from a lawn guy / preacher) with all rights reserved....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW TO USE A MONEY ORDER PROPERLY AND PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Understand that the NWO Does not want you to have any real privacy, they have established the Homeland Security and the Need for it. They have created the immigration problem so that they could have an excuse to turn the country into a big prison so that you can not leave or come in unless you get permission. ( after all you don't want to get yourself confused with a Mexican Indian do you?) They have established the demise of the Dollar, through a complex system of deceit and counterfeiting called the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Notes that Circulate as though they were actually a product of the Constitution and the treasury department. Through this SYSTEM, they have expropriated more wealth than another group or cabal in history before them, and at the same time prevented anyone who wishes to lead a simple private life without any assistance or payoffs from some Government NWO agency , almost impossible. YOU HAVE TO PLAY is their attitude and If you refuse you will be labeled a terrorist or anarchist subversive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two areas that antichrist systems work with their most attention are your ability to travel freely and your ability to be independent of them financially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HENCE THE NATIONAL ID CARDS COMING TO A STATE NEAR YOU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This card will be needed in order for you to work, find housing, ride on a train, drive a car, fly in a plane, cross any state border, or leave the country. You will not be able to bank with out it, open a P.O. box , safety deposit box or store you belongings in a storage facility. Your 501-c-3 religious body will need your card to provide you with the proper tax deduction receipts and any government regulated agency at any level will require it for anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's OK as long as those nasty terrorists and migrant workers are dealt with......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How disgusting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republicans,Democrates.... ANY nonprofit Organization, foundation, club, church, coalition, will be involved with taking your privacy and freedoms away. They will all be used to coordinate an anti-Christ hostile takeover of everything. That's what it is all about. However for now there are still some loopholes in their system that can be taken advantage of for privacy sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of them is the Postal Money Order. ( other money orders work well also, it is just that the postal ones are cheaper and easier track if lost.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now remember the boys who know better them you have decided that there should be limits on how high a postal money order can be made,for example, $1,000 for Postal money orders as of February, 2006, ( LESS THAN THE AVERAGE RENT FOR A HOME, LESS THAN MOST MORTAGE PAYMENTS, and in the not to distant future, Less than your electric bill, water bill and a trip to burger king.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to use them for now:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to the post office and pay for you money order, leave the payer and the payee blank. You have essentially just created a check. You can now send this to other privacy minded folks that you TRUST to trade for goods and services without any trace to yourself whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The person receiving the Money Order can do the same thing with it or he can fill it out to pay a bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTES: Do not get to many postal money orders from the same place or at the same time, as the postal system is an arm of the executive branch of Washington City and as such are stooges for the IRS, Federal Reserve system and the fatherland security people who are the agents stealing your privacy and freedom in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALSO be careful of fake postal money orders, here is a list of things to look for in real ones:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Security features of U.S. Postal Money Orders&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PMOs are generally regarded as one of the more difficult financial documents to counterfeit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watermarks. Telltale watermark when held up to the light should reveal images of Benjamin Franklin, repeated on the left side (top to bottom)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dark security strip running alongside the watermark (top to bottom), just to the right. If held to the light, a microfiber strip will show tiny letters "USPS" along its length, facing backward and forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rainbow of inked patterns and tones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PMOs are printed on crisp, clean, textured paper stock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maximum value of $1000 for domestic (US) postal money orders, and $700 for International Postal Money Orders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denominations appear in two locations. If the denomination amounts are discolored, that indicates that they have been erased.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see our previous article on a similar subject &lt;a href="http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/10/using-cheques-checks-and-money-orders.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;IN Christ&lt;br /&gt;The Preacher&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-114421226541991355?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/114421226541991355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=114421226541991355' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/114421226541991355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/114421226541991355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2006/04/rant-and-temporary-solution-money.html' title='A Rant and a Temporary Solution: Money Orders'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-113591622857493377</id><published>2005-12-29T19:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-21T21:36:11.720-08:00</updated><title type='text'>RULES of the JUNGLE..

Such statements imply the government requires gold transactions be reported. However, no government regulations require the reporting of the purchases of any precious metals, per se. If payment is made by cash greater than $10,000, however, it becomes a "cash reporting transaction." It is not the gold that the government wants reported but the cash. Such reporting applies to all business transactions involving more than $10,000 cash.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;FREE COUNTRY HUH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Regarding cash transactions, Official General Instructions for IRS Form 8300 read: "Who Must File. - Each person engaged in a trade or business who, during that trade or business, receives more than $10,000 in cash in one transaction or two or more related transactions must file Form 8300. Any transactions conducted between a payer (or its agent) and the recipient in a 24-hour period are related transactions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;( Note PRIVATE transactions are not an issue, only BUSINESS or Commercial beastly ones)&lt;br /&gt;This regulation applies to cash - greenbacks, paper money. It does not apply to personal checks, wire transfers, or money market withdrawals. When cashier's checks or money orders are involved, cash reporting may be triggered.&lt;br /&gt;( THERE IS NO PRIVACY IN THE MERCHANT &lt;&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Form 8300's General Instructions define as cash "a cashier's check, bank draft, traveler's check, or money order having a face amount of not more than $10,000." Using a cashier's check less than $10,000 would be a "cash transaction," but it would not be reportable because it is less than $10,000. However, two cashier's checks, each less than $10,000 but totaling more than $10,000 for a single purchase, would be considered cash and subject to reporting.&lt;br /&gt;Further clarification: If an investor makes a $15,000 investment in gold and pays with a single $15,000 cashier's check, it is not reportable. If, however, he pays with two or more cashier's checks each less than $10,000, the dealer would be obligated to report.&lt;br /&gt;Cash reporting requirements were not written specifically for the precious metals industry but for all businesses. The purchase of a car, boat, or jewelry, and payment with two cashier's checks, each less than $10,000 but totaling more than $10,000, would be a reportable transaction.&lt;br /&gt;Another example: an investor agrees to buy precious metals totaling more than $10,000, again say $15,000, and wants to make payments with money from two accounts. If the investor withdraws $8,000 from the first account and gets a cashier's check, and then gets another cashier's check for $7,000 from the second account, the transaction becomes reportable. A purchase of $30,000 and payment with two $15,000 cashier's checks would not be a reportable transaction. The significant amount is $10,000.&lt;br /&gt;Personal checks or checks drawn on the payer's own account are not considered cash. Form 8300's General Instructions read: "Cash does not included a check drawn on the payer's own account, such as a personal check, regardless of the amount. "&lt;br /&gt;Related Transactions&lt;br /&gt;Form 8300's General Instructions say "Transactions are considered related even if they occur over a period of more than twenty-four hours if the recipient knows, or has reason to know, that each transaction is one of a series of connected transactions." For example, if an investor agrees to buy $20,000 in gold but makes installment payments with cash in amounts less than $10,000, the purchase would be reportable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Bank Reporting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; ( WHY BANKS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;It is often erroneously thought that banks report to the government all personal checks more than $10,000. Banks do not. But, a cash transaction exceeding $10,000 requires a bank to fill out and file a Cash Transaction Report (CTR). A cash deposit more than $10,000 to any bank or other financial institution account by an individual possibly would be reported.&lt;br /&gt;However, purchases of cashier's checks with cash for amounts $3,000 to $10,000 require banks to complete Monetary Instrument Reports (MIRs). (Some banks call them Monetary Instrument Logs.) MIRs are not filed with the government but are records that enable banks to help comply with cash reporting requirements. It is not clear when a MIR requires the completion and filing of a CTR, but an individual regularly purchasing cashier's checks between $3,000 and $10,000 would probably be reported.&lt;br /&gt;If a business reports a cash transaction, the customer will know it. Form 8300 requires name, address, citizenship, and social security number. It also asks for method of identification, driver's license, passport, etc. Additionally, Form 8300's General Instructions call for anyone filing a Form 8300 to "provide a written statement to each person named in a required Form 8300 on or before January 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the cash is received."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT HAPPENS HERE IF WE HAVE RUNAWAY INFLATION WHERE A GALLON OF MILK COSTS 10,000? IT HAPPENED IN GERMANY, BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, MEXICO, ETC ETC.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Finally, Form 8300 General Instructions has a box to be marked if the transactions appear "suspicious." The box can be marked for transactions less than $10,000 if the recipient believes the purchaser is trying to avoid cash reporting&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;( ahh turn everyone against each other)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;No one wants any red flags at the IRS. Unscrupulous dealers know this and use it to avert clear thinking; they use the threat of "reporting" to raise investor fear. This enables them to sell overpriced coins. Investors justify higher prices by thinking they are getting "non-reportable gold." No investor need be taken advantage of this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;note:CHRISTIAN you are not to be INVESTING. you are saving and providing for your own. INVESTING implies you view the thing you purchased only as something to profit from in relation to FRN's which are reportable and owned NOT BY YOU BUT BY THEIR CREATOR the Federal Reserve Creature from Jekel Island. INVESTING puts you in their jungle. )&lt;br /&gt;now Understand the rules when dealing with incorporated dealers rather then buyers when you might need to trade your old or silver for FRN;s&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reportable Sales&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Customer sales to dealers &lt;/strong&gt;of certain precious metals exceeding specific quantities call for reporting to the IRS on 1099B forms. The 1099B forms are similar to other 1099 forms taxpayers commonly receive; the "B" means they have been issued by a business other than a financial entity.&lt;br /&gt;Reportable sales&lt;strong&gt; (again, customer sales to dealers)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;apply to 1-oz Gold Maple Leafs, 1-oz Krugerrands, and 1-oz Mexican Onzas in quantities of twenty-five or more in one transaction.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Reporting requirements do not apply to American Gold Eagles, no matter the quantities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Furthermore, reporting requirements do not apply to any fractional ounce gold coins.&lt;br /&gt;Only one common silver product is reportable when sold: pre-1965 U.S. coins.&lt;/strong&gt; The quantity that causes the filing of a 1099B, however, is not clear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;The IRS bases its authority to require reporting on CFTC-approved contracts that call for the delivery of &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;$10,000 face value&lt;/span&gt;. Consequently, many dealers do not report sales of pre-1965 U.S. coins unless the sale totals &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;$10,000 face value&lt;/span&gt;; others report $1,000 sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sales of American Silver Eagles, privately-minted Silver Eagles, and 100-oz silver bars are not reportable, no matter the quantity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Other precious metals products are reportable, but they are not covered here because the average investor does not trade them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Most investors have no first-hand knowledge of these matters; consequently, when precious metals dealers talk about cash reporting, 8300 forms, or 1099s, investors are unable to know that they may not be hearing the whole story. Wanting to avoid the government knowing about their precious metals investments, many investors are delighted to learn that their purchases will not be reported and end up buying overpriced coins.&lt;br /&gt;As explained under "Reportable Purchases," no precious metals purchases are reported unless cash reporting thresholds are exceeded. Investors wanting to avoid reportable sales should buy American Eagles.&lt;br /&gt;The above discussions about cash reporting, IRS Form 8300, and bank reporting are for editorial purposes only and should not be relied on as definitive and final. Persons involved in cash transactions should consult their attorney or accountant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (FUNNY)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Investors wanting to buy gold should go with the bullion coins: American Gold Eagles, Maple Leafs, or Krugerrands. These coins move dollar for dollar with the world price of gold and are easy to buy, sell, and trade. Additionally, tracking the value of these coins is easy. No "expert" has to look at them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL&lt;br /&gt;The Preacher..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-113591622857493377?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/113591622857493377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=113591622857493377' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/113591622857493377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/113591622857493377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/12/rules-of-jungle-rule-number-1-stay-out.html' title='RULES of the JUNGLE..

Thanks Steve!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Christ The Preacher,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Everyone My name is Steve Ford, I live in the Orlando Area in Florida my Contact information is &lt;a href="mailto:sowliberty@juno.com"&gt;sowliberty@juno.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;I am a member and a representative of &lt;a href="http://www.makedeposit.com"&gt;ALFII&lt;/a&gt;, (Americans ForLawful Financial Independence and Information) and I am also a member and associate for The Liberty Dollar. My membership in both Companies has been satisfying. The Web Sight I represent for ALFII is &lt;a href="http://libertydollar.org/graphics/home/letter/one_front.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 273px; CURSOR: hand" height="134" alt="" src="http://libertydollar.org/graphics/home/letter/one_front.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;www.makedeposit.com and the Web Sight I represent for the &lt;a href="http://www.profitliberty.com"&gt;Liberty Dollar &lt;/a&gt;is &lt;a href="http://www.profitliberty.com"&gt;www.profitliberty.com&lt;/a&gt; . I like the principles both Companies stand for. Principles such as freedom and privacy and exposing government corruption. I like that the Company ALFII stands for privacy and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like that as an associate of the Liberty Dollar I can get the Silver Liberties at a discount, and make a profit, doing something that is good for the country. I have ordered Silver Liberties in the past and have made a profit doing good for the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just recently I ordered Silver Liberties again, because I like the discount now being offered to associates. For information on being a member or an associate with theLiberty Dollar go to the Sites I represent at &lt;a href="http://www.makedeposit.com"&gt;www.makedeposit.com&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.profitliberty.com"&gt;www.profitliberty.com&lt;/a&gt; Both Companies stand for principles I believe in and that is why I am member of both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://libertydollar.org/graphics/home/letter/liberty_fb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 194px; CURSOR: hand" height="423" alt="" src="http://libertydollar.org/graphics/home/letter/liberty_fb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I have used the Liberty currency in exchange for goods successfully. People like the way the Silver Liberties look and have had folks exchange those dreaded federal reserve debt papers for Silver Liberties from me on the spot. There is a fellow that works at Mom and Pops Food Store here in Orlando,that has exchanged those dreaded federal reserve debt papers in exchange for Silver Liberties from me, and recently when in that store he inquired if I had Silver Liberties, and told him, I believe, that had ordered some, so would expect that, as he has done in the past he will get one or more silver liberties from me in exchange for federal reserve debt paper. &lt;a href="http://libertydollar.org/graphics/home/letter/cluster_2005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://libertydollar.org/graphics/home/letter/cluster_2005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also bought food at the Mom and Pops in Orlando using Silver Liberties, and have used them successfully elsewhere. Silver liberties have value and are good for the country and inflation proof unlike the dreaded federal reserve paper that is debt based, which actually causes inflation and benefits the greedy and power hungry, While at the same time ripping off the people of this country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, personally, I am member of both these Companies because I believe in the values of freedom and privacy, and have opportunity to make a profit doing good for the country. For more specific details on each Company please go to the Web Sights, I represent, ( previously mentioned.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a Believer in Jesus Christ, freedom and privacy are values I believe in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God richly bless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Ford&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-113444732558831571?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/113444732558831571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=113444732558831571' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/113444732558831571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/113444732558831571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/12/my-experiences-with-alfii-and-liberty.html' title='MY EXPERIENCES WITH ALFII and the LIBERTY DOLLAR By Steve Ford'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-113097289696621617</id><published>2005-11-02T15:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-02T15:08:16.980-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Note From Privacy World</title><content type='html'>To be honest I do not have a working knowledge with the following options, I have however studied the issue and it seems to be an option for some people. Research your own onformation and adjust yourself accordingly..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the Preacher...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A note from Privacy World:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't like the system where you are, you might want a Saint&lt;br /&gt;Christopher and Nevis bearer share company with a trust deposit account&lt;br /&gt;where Merrill Lynch (USA) receives and sends all bank wires and&lt;br /&gt;deposits and is the custodian. Included is on-line banking with the&lt;br /&gt;ability to send and receive bank to bank swift wires on-line, PLUS a&lt;br /&gt;gold card for cash withdrawals from any hole in the wall worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This trust deposit account will also accept cheques and drafts, albeit&lt;br /&gt;clearing time may take up to 4 weeks before funds become available to&lt;br /&gt;you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new banking product is so new, we haven't placed it at our web&lt;br /&gt;site .... yet! That said, when we do place it on our site for the&lt;br /&gt;general public, it will retail at Euro 2750 for the whole caboodle,&lt;br /&gt;i.e. a St. Christopher &amp; Nevis Company in your chosen name; deposit&lt;br /&gt;account at Merrill Lynch and a Gold Card for ATM cash withdrawals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this is no trick or treat. For our subscribers only, until&lt;br /&gt;midnight GMT time, Halloween, October 31st, 2005, you can receive&lt;br /&gt;this Saint Christopher and Nevis bearer share company with a&lt;br /&gt;Merrill Lynch account for just Euro 1950, a whopping Euro 800&lt;br /&gt;savings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two ID's are required, but they need NOT be notarized!&lt;br /&gt;Alternatively a passport copy and a utility bill will suffice. That&lt;br /&gt;said, Merrill Lynch NEVER knows your name or details, only the trusted&lt;br /&gt;source, i.e. your trust company does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set-up time is very fast indeed. We had our company papers e-mailed to&lt;br /&gt;us (scanned) within 5-7 business days. Then our deposit account opened&lt;br /&gt;within a few business days after that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To order proceed to https://www.privacyworld.com/order_bwe.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to include your subscribers e-mail address in the comments&lt;br /&gt;section of our on-line order form.

They will insist on property being Titled at the court house and have been the leading agent of property confiscation in America. Yielding to every letter that is presented to them without question,. they will seize accounts on a whim or question and leave you to figure out how to pay your bills without so much as a thank you or sorry if they are found in the wrong. NOT TO MENTION SELLING YOUR PERSONAL INFO.... Don't get me wrong , I know some bankers and they are very nice folks, however AS BANKERS they work for the beast either knowingly or unknowingly. They make a living out of creating the debt that is destroying this country and create money out of thin air.&lt;br /&gt;Their institution was involved in the greatest theft in the history of the world and is the financing institution of every war America has ever had to fight.. ON BOTH SIDES of the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOUR MONEY IN A BANK IS NOT YOUR MONEY, FINANCES ALL SORTS OF UNGODLY THINGS AND DEPRECIATES IN PURCHACING POWER EVER DAY...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK now that that rant is over.. I might add that most of the Local folks you see in your branch office have no clue at all about what they are really doing! Sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disclaimer: this is what I think and might not be what you think... take it or leave it but at least investigate it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway.. reality: Folks using Checks, bank drafts etc to buy and sell (transfer debt). They do not really pay for anything..( that's another tangent)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Practical.. what to do if you get a check as payment for services/ compensation for property, ( labour or tangible)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Cash them at the bank where they are Issued:&lt;br /&gt;problems&lt;br /&gt;a/ thumb print,&lt;br /&gt;b/ To High a fee ( some banks have NO FEE)&lt;br /&gt;c/ ID problems&lt;br /&gt;Advantages:&lt;br /&gt;a. No need for a SS number&lt;br /&gt;b. Trace-ability is not likely ( however with the thumb print stuff and Drivers licence being a National ID that will not be true soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Have the person giving you a check/money order etc. leave the payee field blank so you can use their check to pay your bill., with a money order leave both fields blank, it can then be used as cash and be sent to anyone from anyone.&lt;br /&gt;Down side: a blank Money order if misplaced is as good and given away and gone. same thing with a check made out to no one. so be careful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Endorse the check to a third party for deposit only.&lt;br /&gt;you have a check addressed to you personally for 100FRN, YOU owe the electric company 90FRN for electricity used, YOU sign the check and also write Make payable to ABC electric company for deposit only, they take the check and deposit it in their account and then credit you the 10 dollar difference toward your next electric bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Find a local merchant that you know that will cash the checks for you for a small fee or in exchange for goods and services rendered. personally I have been able to do this on numerous occasions with no almost no problem at all other them having to wait longer than if I had gone to a bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advantages are legion, not the least of which is that many merchants will give better deals for cash purchases that they will for credit /check purchases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Redeem your checks for Silver or Gold Coin rather than for Paper Debt instruments like FRN's Rather than using a Local grocery store to cash a Check, many a coin dealer will gladly allow you to sign your check over to him or her and let you redeem it for Silver or Gold coin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only person you really cares about your privacy is YOU!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These Ideas are not meant to "Cheat" anyone or to defraud anyone, they are meant to protect your privacy from folks you have no real need to know.

One site &lt;a href="http://crypto-systems.com/"&gt;Crypto Systems Inc&lt;/a&gt; Offered quite a bit of information, PLUS a &lt;a href="http://crypto-systems.com/download.html"&gt;free download &lt;/a&gt;version to get your teeth cut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://crypto-systems.com/download.html"&gt;FREE DOWNLOAD &lt;/a&gt;With a full version for only $49.95!&lt;br /&gt;What is your personal information worth? &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boston T Party (BTP) states in Chapter 4 page 5 of his book, &lt;blockquote&gt;The Government doesn't use DES for classified material--which speaks volumes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his &lt;a href="http://crypto-systems.com/meyer.html"&gt;"Introduction to the Use of Encryption"&lt;/a&gt; Peter Meyer states:&lt;br /&gt;In the case of DES there has long been widespread suspicion that the National Security Agency (NSA) influenced its designers at IBM so that it was strong enough to withstand most attacks but not strong enough to withstand the NSA computers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The original design submitted by IBM permitted all 16 x 48 = 768 bits of key used in the 16 rounds to be selected independently. A U.S. Senate Select Committee ascertained in 1977 that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) was instrumental in reducing the DES secret key to 56 bits that are each used many times, although this had previously been denied by IBM ... -- Massey, p.541.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;funny the friendly guys as IBM who gave the NAZI's their system of cataloging their atrocities in death camps and even maintained the equipment DURING THE WAR, also might be involved in helping to back door you in the modern police state. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I can figure there are only two reasons for Encryption. &lt;p&gt;1. Make that which in on your personal computer or workstation utter nonsense to anyone but you and those who you wish to know what that information contains ( Files, documents, programs etc.) and&lt;br /&gt;2. Make that which you send to someone else over the internet via email utter nonsense to anyone other then the intended recipient. &lt;p&gt;Both of these reasons are valid and totally within the privacy rights of ANYONE and should not have to be explained to anyone for any reason. After all you don't send all your letters to friends and family via a post card! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now for an object lesson from the Bible from a Good King who let everyone know what he had:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isa 39:1 ¶ At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3 &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4 Then said he, &lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: &lt;strong&gt;there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ( Sounds like he filed the LONG FORM)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5 ¶ Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remeber this little story about April 15th Next year..(smile)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Christ,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Preacher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-112823686152383907?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/112823686152383907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=112823686152383907' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112823686152383907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112823686152383907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/10/encryption-is-must.html' title='ENCRYPTION IS A MUST!'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-112775261633841836</id><published>2005-09-26T09:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T20:56:15.658-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Socialist Security and the Invasion of the Body Snatchers</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;Another interesting thing about the Socialist Security System is its international one would flavour.

It is very interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am 24 year old man from Africa. I am married to a U.S. citizen since 4 years ago. I have also been waiting for my immigration paper during that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't renew my driver's license without a SSN, and I cannot work. My hands are tied, and my wife is tired of supporting me. I do my best to put bread on the table without an SSN, but I lost that job. Now I am desperate for an other no success in 3 month.&lt;br /&gt;I need help or advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you very much for listening, because everywhere I go, they ask for appointment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tony Montana&lt;br /&gt;tonyscarface@excite.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;The Folloowing is from an article that I posted a while back on another site. The issue of Privacy is not big issue in this article, economics is. That being said there is no free economics with out real privacy in your financial dealings. Social Security is the great Slave maker. Slaves have NO privacy.&lt;br /&gt;The Preacher..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mises.org/fullstory.aspx?Id=1695"&gt;http://www.mises.org/fullstory.aspx?Id=1695&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;this is for the rest of&lt;br /&gt;the article... below is just a portion of the article.. I recomend&lt;br /&gt;surfing about this site and get yourselves a real education on&lt;br /&gt;economics...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;In Christ Preaching Freedom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;".....Social Security is as economically and morally objectionable&lt;br /&gt;as any other form of forced redistribution, from public housing to&lt;br /&gt;corporate subsidies to warfare, but made worse by the subterfuge that&lt;br /&gt;it is an insurance program of some sort. Once we get that clear in&lt;br /&gt;our minds, how to deal with it becomes clearer as well. It needs to&lt;br /&gt;be zeroed out and replaced by laissez-faire, precisely as saving for&lt;br /&gt;later years has always occurred in the whole of human history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are more resources available than ever before to make this&lt;br /&gt;work, from the simplest to the most complex financial tools, and more&lt;br /&gt;personal wealth available for most everyone to live out their old age&lt;br /&gt;in comfort. In fact, Social Security hardly figures into the&lt;br /&gt;retirement plans of most young people today, as well it shouldn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More people than ever have a good reason to support the idea of&lt;br /&gt;letting it die or killing it. There are many ways to do this, with&lt;br /&gt;either big or small steps. Let people opt out completely. Cut payroll&lt;br /&gt;taxes. Raise the retirement age. Means test benefits. Establish a cut&lt;br /&gt;off for paying liabilities and end the program. Make the program part&lt;br /&gt;of federal budgeting so the charade will stop. Above all, tell the&lt;br /&gt;truth (as Hans Sennholz says). All of this would be fine. But this is&lt;br /&gt;not what is being discussed, despite all the talk of freedom and&lt;br /&gt;choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the abstract, the idea of private accounts replacing a government&lt;br /&gt;boondoggle sounds good, even great. Other countries have done it; why&lt;br /&gt;not here? Actually, other national conversions did not have anywhere&lt;br /&gt;near the liability problem the US has; Chile, for example, had its&lt;br /&gt;inflated away. Why not let the power of free enterprise work on&lt;br /&gt;behalf of all of us as we get old? Sounds great, but that is not&lt;br /&gt;what's being proposed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look a bit closer and you see a big problem, namely that the current&lt;br /&gt;program is not merely a government-run retirement scheme that can be&lt;br /&gt;converted to a private system. It is a transfer program from working&lt;br /&gt;people to retired people. All that nonsense about how much the&lt;br /&gt;government owes you, how much the system has accumulated for you to&lt;br /&gt;enjoy later on, is an accounting fiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When people stop paying in, people will stop receiving. It is as&lt;br /&gt;simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, there is no there to privatize. What is actually&lt;br /&gt;being talked about is the creation of a new national program of&lt;br /&gt;forced savings, complete with a guaranteed minimum income. It is to&lt;br /&gt;be created out of whole cloth using the revenue that would usually be&lt;br /&gt;funneled to retirees. Not that anyone is going to be denied what they&lt;br /&gt;believe is theirs. The money will continue to flow to older Americans&lt;br /&gt;but not come from present revenue. It will come from new funds. And&lt;br /&gt;where are these funds going to come from? Among those who favor&lt;br /&gt;privatization, there are two camps: the left-wing suggests more taxes&lt;br /&gt;and the right-wing suggests more debt."...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-112775261633841836?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/112775261633841836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=112775261633841836' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112775261633841836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112775261633841836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/09/socialist-security-and-invasion-of.html' title='Socialist Security and the Invasion of the Body Snatchers'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-112671239063655862</id><published>2005-09-15T11:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-15T19:30:09.400-07:00</updated><title type='text'>IF YOU WANT TO BE PRIVATE-STAY PRIVATE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;In thinking about ways to protect our individual privacy, we first need to become aware of ways that we give up that right. This is done in many way, many of which seem so benign that we never really think twice about them....Until we realize that our privacy has been breached.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to mention just a handful of different ways that the average person gives away their information in the most familiar settings, for instance:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grocery stores&lt;/strong&gt;-do you feel compelled to give out ALL your information when filling out those handy little discount cards for the check out? I've seen some that were quite 'nosy'.They wanted name, address, phone numbers, sometimes socialist security card numbers and some even ask if you are a full-time or part-time resident of the state you live in. Do you ever ask yourself why they need to know all this merely to extend a discount on particular items?&lt;br /&gt;Most of the information is stored in a databank for their corporation and they keep it handy to send out circulars, coupons and for TRACKING what you buy so that they can 'better gauge what specials you may be interested in'. That may not sound like too big a deal but with the state of our country and the joining of information with all databanks through our old friends at Homeland Security, why make it that much easier for anyone to know ANY of your business?&lt;br /&gt;Why give away your personal phone number, address and residential history just for the sake of saving a few pennies?&lt;br /&gt;What I have done is this: I know from talking to the store personnel that only the bare minimum of information is needed to secure a discount card. I filled one out with my 'other' name that I use when I want to guard my privacy and give them a post office box number. That's all they needed. I get my discount and keep my privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mail-in Surveys&lt;/strong&gt;-You ever get those surveys in the mail that promise to give you coupons and samples for free if you just fill out their survey sheet?&lt;br /&gt;Think about what sort of questions they ask on these surveys.....do you use this type of product...have you ever tried this....do any of your family members have this or that type of medical condition......do you think you will be purchasing this or that.....what is your annual income......how many people live in your household........how many cars do you own........will you be moving soon,etc. etc. ad infinitum! They are worse than the U.S. Census Bureau! Most folks think that if they take half an hour to fill out the survey, somehow they will magically save all kinds of money with great deals down the road. Even if you did folks, now the survey company has all your personal information and is gladly sharing most of it with every manufacturer, corporation, dealership and BIG PHARMA company that has solicited that gathering of information with your stamp of approval.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asking for your phone number and/ or address at the check-out&lt;/strong&gt;- This is my personal pet peeve! I am about to purchase an item at Toys R Us or Radio Shack and instead of just ringing me up and taking my money....they want my phone number or address first! That's bad enough, but why should I recite all this private information in front of anyone that happens to be within earshot? I just say "NO!". Actually, what I say is, " No thank you, that information is private," and leave it at that. Believe me, it's not as if you won't be 'allowed' to leave without your merchandise if you don't play their game. Maybe, you'll even get the poor drone behind the counter to think!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's important to stay on your toes and question everything. Most of us in America have been cultivated with a true 'Sheeple' mentality. We go from day to day and do not question why someone would want our most personal information. The Bible says to walk 'circumspectly', which means to look around and notice what is about you. Question everything and ask yourself, 'Why do these people want this information?" Remember-you only lose the privacy that you yourself give away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-112671239063655862?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/112671239063655862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=112671239063655862' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112671239063655862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112671239063655862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/09/if-you-want-to-be-private-stay-private.html' title='IF YOU WANT TO BE PRIVATE-STAY PRIVATE!'/><author><name>Eileen  Slattery</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8WUgep_tZa8/SI8IlvoZ0vI/AAAAAAAAABo/MEviv1EMZSc/S220/Molly+magnolia+012.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-112624271125887583</id><published>2005-09-08T22:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-08T22:11:51.266-07:00</updated><title type='text'>NEW SITE.

No paper trail of your charity!&lt;P&gt;Another advantage would be that generally speaking you would not be financing Pornography dealers and Alcohol distributers with your savings. Abortionists would not be able to borrow your money from the bank to put up another baby murdering factory. &lt;P&gt;You would most likely get better deals for goods and services since you would be paying cash for them.&lt;P&gt; Could you save? Sure you could, you could establish a Gold and Silver buying plan in your church pooling assets together to get the best deals, you could do the same thing with food and other needs too. Your church could actually establish an emergency food pantry for hard times where long term food stuffs could be held and ratated out as needed. and that without any paper trial for those who could enact anti Food hourding laws. If there was a Sharp rise in Inflation and food stuffs began to shoot through the roof, you would be able to have a hedge against the problem while you got cought up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt; What no worry about having an idiot with a vendetta and a tort happy judge stealing all you saving with a godless seizure of your accounts?&lt;P&gt; Raise your kids NOT to get a Social Security number, Raise them to save their assets outside of the Numbering System, teach them a trade work for yourself. Be a good neighbour and buy you needs and supplies within your local community whenever possible, from mom and pop shops, small businesses  and other folks you know real well. When ever possible ALWAYS  deal with those who you know KNOW Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour before you deal with anyone else for the things you need.&lt;P&gt; Jesus threw out the Money Changers, he had nothing good to  say about Publicans who refused to Repent, and he said No man can serve two masters!&lt;br /&gt;Serve God.....NOT THE BANK!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN Christ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Preacher&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-112606772548438864?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/112606772548438864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=112606772548438864' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112606772548438864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112606772548438864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/09/serve-godnot-bank.html' title='Serve God........Not the BANK'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-112606642504518239</id><published>2005-09-06T21:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-06T21:14:11.300-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Creating your own RE-Mailing Service</title><content type='html'>I was thinking about this today, How hard could it be to establish a re-mailing service for folks who need privacy, or who simply need to be someplace they are not.&lt;p&gt; For example, you wish to have a business relationship with someone and you have no desire for them to know where you are. You can even let them know that you are using a re-mailing service.&lt;P&gt; What about missionaries who need a re-mailing service and a place to get mail and have it forwarded to them? &lt;P&gt; The Internet is a scary place and to be quite honest , the folks that you might be dealing with, have no real need to know where you live and so a Mail drop re-mailing service might be just the thing. In fact it could even be a ministry for the freedom minded. Sure there would be costs involved, after all the US postal service ( Formally known as the post office,) is in the CASH generating business and needs to be fed so there would be the yearly cost of a BOX of about 40 Dollars per 3 months ( according to one place we called) and then there is the price of stamps and such but all in all if enough people networked this out in the Christian Freedom Community, it would make the NWO wacko's a little less of a threat. Would you like to have a letter from you sent from a random post office in Florida?&lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Privacy matters.&lt;P&gt;Ask any christian in China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Christ&lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Preacher.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-112606642504518239?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/112606642504518239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=112606642504518239' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112606642504518239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112606642504518239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/09/creating-your-own-re-mailing-service.html' title='Creating your own RE-Mailing Service'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-112402809339377924</id><published>2005-08-14T06:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-14T22:17:03.423-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Irish Remailer</title><content type='html'>An interesting concept is Re-Mailing. &lt;br /&gt;I have found a few places on the Internet that offer this option for those who wish for those receiving their mail to know where they are really at. I suppose this would be good for witness protection folks who want to contact old friends without giving up their new address and name on an envelope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would think that this would be a good service for those who travel a lot or for those who simply do not wish to have folks stop by very much. At any rate I will now post their "What is Re-mailing" section from a web site along with a link in the head of this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What is re-mailing ?  To prevent your real location being discovered, your outbound mail (mail you wish to send from your Irish address) goes through a roundabout mailing process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How it works: You address your outbound mail to the persons or organizations that you want to receive them.  Use your Irish Office address as your return address. You seal the envelopes but do not put stamps on these envelopes . You then place them all in a large envelope and send it to us. When we receive this envelope, we will then put Irish stamps on all the enclosed envelopes and mail them for you.  When these letters arrive at their final destination, it will appear as though you mailed them yourself from within Ireland. (Full instructions here)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This particular comply will also accept E-Bullion and currency as payment for services. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Christ&lt;br /&gt;The Preacher&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-112402809339377924?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/112402809339377924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=112402809339377924' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112402809339377924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112402809339377924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/08/irish-remailer.html' title='&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irishoffice.com/&quot;&gt;Irish Remailer&lt;/a&gt;'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-112286970524483440</id><published>2005-07-31T21:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-14T22:18:41.300-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DO NOT CALL LIST</title><content type='html'>In 31 Days Cell phone numbers will become part of a national Registry for all to see, if you want your phone to put on a DO NOT CALL LIST to keep at least telemarketers from bothering you, you  can do so at. the &lt;a href="https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx"&gt;NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST&lt;/a&gt;, by letting them know that you want your number on their list&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-112286970524483440?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/112286970524483440/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=112286970524483440' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112286970524483440'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/112286970524483440'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/07/do-not-call-list.html' title='&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx&quot;&gt;DO NOT CALL LIST&lt;/a&gt;'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-111535358405596825</id><published>2005-05-05T21:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-14T22:19:52.453-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Total Information Awareness.... by Satan....</title><content type='html'>Why did George Bush the president of the US choose an Michael Chertoff to be part  of Homeland (Fatherland) Security?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michael Chertoff=  Michael=One Like God: Chertoff= A Russian Word, Chert= Devil : Off= OF...

Then, the nonprofit could give us the names."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chertoff also suggested that private industry form a group to collect proprietary information about cyber- and other infrastructure-security breaches from companies; scrub it of identifying information; aggregate it; and pass it along to the department. &lt;em&gt;The financial services industry already has such a group&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The secretary was responding to a hypothetical question with a hypothetical answer," said Homeland Security Department press secretary Brian Roehrkasse. "He did not offer specific programmatic content or discuss any specific proposed approach. Rather, he was discussing, in general terms, the importance of this issue of balancing security and privacy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harris Miller, president of the Information Technology Association of America, organized the gathering of about 50 security-industry executives from companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, and Verizon. Reached by phone at the meeting, he characterized the event as "an organizational meeting to discuss how the [information-technology] industry can work more effectively with each other" and with the Homeland Security Department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the meeting was closed to the press, Miller would not discuss Chertoff's comments.One meeting participant said that Chertoff told the group that having a nonprofit collect names rather than the government "would alleviate some of the concerns people have." Not so for this participant: "This is what made me sort of shift in my seat. &lt;strong&gt;It sounds like investigating every person for no reason." He was particularly concerned that an unknown formula created by this new group would determine the red flags. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This document is located at http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0405/042905nj1.htm&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11294459-111535358405596825?l=preachingprivacy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/feeds/111535358405596825/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11294459&amp;postID=111535358405596825' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/111535358405596825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11294459/posts/default/111535358405596825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://preachingprivacy.blogspot.com/2005/05/total-information-awareness-by-satan.html' title='Total Information Awareness.... by Satan....'/><author><name>Michael Slattery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00954443351560809068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11294459.post-111413979725536805</id><published>2005-04-21T19:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-14T22:20:54.756-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Being Chipped!</title><content type='html'>The idea a person would be tagged was something that our grandfathers told us about when they came back from witnessing the NAZI's tag and tattoo prisoners, Jews, undesirables, and others that were either slatted for " work Shall set you free" programs or the gas chambers. Many can even see older Americans who escaped the Death Camps of Hitler still have Numbers tattooed on them from those Days of terror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;A few, but not many can remember the ruckus that was brought about when FDR put together the SS program with a number for all Americans, we were assured that this Number for Social Security would NEVER BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES. In fact it was even stated right on the Card," Not for Identification Purposes". Well that was Another lie told to us by the Empire, and now virtually every American has been numbered and without that number as ID. life is complicated at best and for some almost impossible.

I noticed that whenever I get near some radios or computers, that every few minutes I hear a click click click come from the speakers of the Computer or stereo. THE GPS in my phone is sending out a signal telling anyone that would want to know, where I am within a few yards or so, Maybe even a few inches. Now Not to sound paranoid, but I close the bathroom door when I go. I lock my doors, and even draw the shades. I have a Door on the room that use to take a shower and the door is not see through. I use envelopes when mailing Letters and I lick the glue and make sure that they are sealed. I am not paranoid , I simply enjoy being private. having something to Hide is not an Issue, But occasionally I simply Enjoy being alone. I was told that wether or not my Phone was on or NOT that my phone was telling folks where I was. Not to mention being somewhat less then private with all the Government Projects designed to eavesdrop on every Phone conversation for KEY WORDS.. etc.. Blah Blah Big Brother Nazi land... Anyway , when I saw this link sent to Me about the Freedom Phone I thought." "No Silver Bullet...however Better then Nothing" so here is some information from their web site as well as a Link to check it out yourself..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Christ&lt;br /&gt;The preacher &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"GPS is the culprit that spies on your every mobile phone call. GPS is a Satellite Navigation System.&lt;strong&gt; GPS is funded by and controlled by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). While there are many thousands of civil users of GPS world-wide, the system was designed for and is operated by the U. S. military. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed in a GPS receiver, enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four GPS satellite signals are used to compute positions in three dimensions and the time offset in the receiver clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That little receiver &lt;strong&gt;(a spy chip,) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;is by law inserted into each and every mobile telephone sold in the United States and Europe.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With every mobile phone sold in North America and Western Europe having a spy chip inside, that chip can identify you to within a few yards from where you are. This is accomplished by the chip utilizing the GPS tracking signals to spy on your every call and whereabouts. Worse, even with your mobile phone turned off, that chip can still track you. Scary isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We trust you realize this is far from being the true reason for the tracking device. That spy chip has been inserted inside all mobile phones sold in the US and Europe under threat of severe financial consequence to the mobile manufactures. There can only be one purpose for those chips; they're for tracking purposes and tracking purposes only. Big brother doesn't like it when they can't keep tabs on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you are also probably aware, all electronic and telephonic transmissions in the US (Europe isn't far behind,) are listened in by the super secret governmental agency, the biggest brother of them all, the NSA (National Security Agency,) operating out of Fort Meade, Maryland USA. Every conceivable transmission is scanned searching for keywords. All this data is then stored in a huge database forever at Fort Meade. This is accomplished by one of the governments 300 super computers," the fastest computers in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the event you are talking on your mobile phone and just by accident happen to mention one of their secret keywords, all the bells and whistles go off and a severe investigation into who it was that triggered the keyword search gets underway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance; you could be discussing a recent terrorist attack somewhere and mention the word bomb. Bomb is certainly one of their secret keywords, though only government insiders know for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That innocent mention of "bomb" in a normal mobile phone conversation could lead to very serious consequences for the caller or receiver of that mobile call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether or not you'd ever learn about this, only time would tell. But if you feel the way we do, we don't want any proctologist Doctor Big Brother looking into anything we do or say, no matter where we are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter the Freedom Phone™&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Freedom Phone™ is a totally anonymous mobile phone from a major and well known mobile phone manufacture. It is exactly like the models sold by this famous company in Europe and the US with one exception … there's no tracking device!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see this Freedom Phone™ is manufactured in Asia under very different rules and guidelines, and WITHOUT threat of punitive damages if they don't comply by inserting the tracking device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slick Willie started it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former US President Bill "slick Willie" Clinton, started this mobile phone tracking device idea some years back. He tried to introduce the then called "clipper chip," but fortunately (for a time,) the clipper chip met fierce opposition from the mobile manufactures, mainly because of the cost of the technology. Surprisingly there was little or no opposition to the chip from the general public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush et al have taken this technology to a frightening new level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever any government discovers another way to spy on you, they'll change the name of a previously failed program, amend this or that law, and surprise surprise; voila, there it is again, the clipper chip morphed into another name under a different law. 9/11 and George W. were the catalyst for this and many other privacy stealing laws that has taken away your freedoms and privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This GPS tracking device inserted into all mobile phones sold in Europe and the US costs a lot more to manufacture and install in the mobile phones for North American and European customers. So XXX Company is delighted when they can manufacture the near same product for less money and sell the mobile phones for the same price and make larger profits, get it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While there is a law that says US manufactures MUST sell mobile phones in the US with the GPS tracking device, there is no law that says you HAVE TO purchase a mobile phone in the US. The Freedom Phone™ isn't sold in the US or Europe. The Freedom Phone™ is sold OUTSIDE the US without the spy chip. Therefore no laws are broken if you acquire it elsewhere and use it in the U.S., Europe or anywhere for that matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello loophole, goodbye snooping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.privacyworld.com/freedommobile.html"&gt;FREEDOM PHONE &lt;/a&gt;for the rest of the Article&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE:  the following phone from privacy world is billed as completly anonymous&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.privacyworld.com/auto/anon_phone.html"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"For a reasonable cost we can supply a completely anonymous Tri-band GSM phone for you, including international roaming and forwarding of incoming (&amp; outgoing) calls, data and facsimiles.

Increasingly, agents are also visiting the familist,&lt;br /&gt;friends, and employers of these activists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This pamphlet is designed to answer the most frequent questions&lt;br /&gt;asked by people and groups experiencing government scrutiny, and to&lt;br /&gt;help them develop practical responses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=1&gt;What is Political Intelligence?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Political intelligence is information collected by the government&lt;br /&gt;about individuals and groups. Files secure under the Freedom of&lt;br /&gt;Information Act disclose that government officials have long been&lt;br /&gt;interested in all forms of data. Information gathered by government&lt;br /&gt;agents ranges from the most personal data about sexual liaisons and&lt;br /&gt;preferences to estimates of the strength of groups opposing&lt;br /&gt;U.S. policies. Over the years, groups and individuals have developed&lt;br /&gt;various ways of limiting the collection of information and preventing&lt;br /&gt;such intelligence gathering from harming their work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=2&gt;Do I have to talk to the FBI?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No. The FBI does not have the authority to make anyone answer&lt;br /&gt;questions (other than name and address [see &lt;a&lt;br /&gt;href="#errata"&gt;errata&lt;/a&gt;]), to permit a search without a warrant, or&lt;br /&gt;to otherwise cooperate with an investigation. Agents are usually&lt;br /&gt;lawyers, and they are always trained as investigators; they have&lt;br /&gt;learned the power of persuasion, the ability to make a person feel&lt;br /&gt;scared, guilty, or impolite for refusing their requests for&lt;br /&gt;information. So remember, they have no legal authority to force people&lt;br /&gt;to do anything -- unless they have obtained an arrest or search&lt;br /&gt;warrant. Even when agents do have warrants, you still don't have to&lt;br /&gt;answer their question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=3&gt;Under what laws do the agents operate?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1976, FBI guidelines regulating the investigation of political&lt;br /&gt;activities were issued by Attorney General Edward H. Levi. Criticized&lt;br /&gt;by liberals and conservatives alike, the guidelines were issued in the&lt;br /&gt;wake of a &lt;a href="#fn1"&gt;Congressional committee's report&lt;/a&gt; of&lt;br /&gt;highly questionable activities by the FBI: monitoring the activities&lt;br /&gt;of domestic political groups seeking to effect change.  The report&lt;br /&gt;exposed the FBI's counter-intelligence program (COINTELPRO) under&lt;br /&gt;which the agency infiltrated groups, compiled dossiers on, and&lt;br /&gt;directly interfered with individuals engaged in activities protected&lt;br /&gt;by the First Amendment rights to freedom of expression and&lt;br /&gt;association.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The FBI COINTELPRO program was initiated in 1956. Its purpose, as&lt;br /&gt;described later by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, was "to expose,&lt;br /&gt;disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize activities" of&lt;br /&gt;those individuals and organizations whose ideas or goals he&lt;br /&gt;opposed. Tactics included: falsely labelling individuals as&lt;br /&gt;informants; infiltrating groups with persons instructed to disrupt the&lt;br /&gt;group; sending anonymous or forged letters designed to promote strife&lt;br /&gt;between groups; initiating politically motivated IRS investigations;&lt;br /&gt;carrying out burglaries of offices and unlawful wiretaps; and&lt;br /&gt;disseminating to other government agencies and to the media unlawfully&lt;br /&gt;obtained derogatory information on individuals and groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1983, Attorney General William French Smith issued superseding&lt;br /&gt;guidelines that authorized "domestic security/ terrorism"&lt;br /&gt;investigations against political organizations whenever the FBI had a&lt;br /&gt;reasonable belief that these groups might violate a law. The new&lt;br /&gt;guidelines permitted the same intrusive techniques the FBI used&lt;br /&gt;against organized crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Smith guidelines were justified by the Attorney General's&lt;br /&gt;observation that "our citizens are no less threatened by groups which&lt;br /&gt;engage in criminal violence for political... purposes that by those&lt;br /&gt;which operate lawlessly for financial gain." He concluded: "we must&lt;br /&gt;ensure that criminal intelligence resources that have been brought to&lt;br /&gt;bear so effectively in organized crime and racketeering investigations&lt;br /&gt;are effectively employed in domestic security/ terrorism cases." The&lt;br /&gt;guidelines provide, therefore, no safeguards to protect against&lt;br /&gt;infringements of First Amendment rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Worst, they ignore the history of COINTELPRO abuses, and abolish&lt;br /&gt;the distinction between regular criminal investigations and&lt;br /&gt;investigations of groups and individuals seeking political&lt;br /&gt;change. They fail to limit the investigative techniques used to obtain&lt;br /&gt;data on political groups, so that now the FBI may use any technique,&lt;br /&gt;including electronic surveillance and informers, against political&lt;br /&gt;organizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, the FBI may begin a full investigation whenever there is a&lt;br /&gt;reasonable indication that "two or more persons are engaged in an&lt;br /&gt;enterprise for the purpose of furthering political or social goals&lt;br /&gt;wholly or in part through activities that involve force or violence&lt;br /&gt;and a violation of the criminal laws of the United States." The FBI&lt;br /&gt;has interpreted "force or violence" to include the destruction of&lt;br /&gt;property as a symbolic act, and the mere advocacy of such property&lt;br /&gt;destruction would trigger an investigation. Even without any&lt;br /&gt;reasonable indication, under a separate guideline on "Civil Disorders&lt;br /&gt;and Demonstrations Involving a Federal Interest," the FBI may&lt;br /&gt;investigate an organization that plans only legal and peaceful&lt;br /&gt;demonstrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another set of rules governing federal intelligence gathering is&lt;br /&gt;Executive Order 12333, in force since 1981. It authorizes the FBI and&lt;br /&gt;CIA to infiltrate, manipulate and destroy U.S.political organizations,&lt;br /&gt;as well as to use electronic surveillance -- under the pretext of an&lt;br /&gt;international intelligence investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=4&gt;What federal agencies are likely to be interested in a citizen's&lt;br /&gt;political activities and affiliations?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FBI is still the major national intelligence-gathering&lt;br /&gt;agency. There are also many other federal, state, local and private&lt;br /&gt;investigative agencies. At least 26 federal agencies may gather&lt;br /&gt;intelligence, including the Immigration &amp; Naturalization Service,&lt;br /&gt;Internal Revenue Service, and the Treasury Department's Bureau of&lt;br /&gt;Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Local police agencies sometimes contain&lt;br /&gt;"special services" units and narcotics or other "strike forces" in&lt;br /&gt;which federal, state, and local agencies cooperate.  The Central&lt;br /&gt;Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency are particularly&lt;br /&gt;active when a political organization has or is suspected to have&lt;br /&gt;international contacts.  Military security agencies and increasingly&lt;br /&gt;significant "private" research institutes and security agencies also&lt;br /&gt;gather intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A recent Freedom of Information Act request on behalf of the&lt;br /&gt;Livermore Action Group, an anti-nuclear organization, revealed that&lt;br /&gt;the Navy, the U.S. Marshal's Service, and the Marine Corps all sent&lt;br /&gt;agents to the Group's public meetings and kept newspaper reports of&lt;br /&gt;such meetings. Most chilling was the revelation that the Federal&lt;br /&gt;Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) -- the federal agency charged with&lt;br /&gt;implementing martial law in the event of a nuclear war -- was also&lt;br /&gt;watching the Livermore group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Federal and state, local and private agencies, all tend to share&lt;br /&gt;information in a variety of ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=5&gt;How does the FBI learn about citizens and organizations?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Political intelligence is gathered from public sources, such as&lt;br /&gt;newspapers and leaflets. It is also collected by informers who may be&lt;br /&gt;government employees or people recruited by them. Political&lt;br /&gt;intelligence is also collected through FBI visits to your home or&lt;br /&gt;office. We are here most concerned with this aspect of intelligence&lt;br /&gt;gathering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Agents may be sent to interview people after FBI officials decide&lt;br /&gt;there is a "reasonable indication" that an organization or person&lt;br /&gt;meets the guidelines for a "domestic security" investigation. Such&lt;br /&gt;interviews are a primary source of information, for most people are&lt;br /&gt;not aware of their right &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to talk to federal agents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most people are also unaware of the limits to the power of FBI and&lt;br /&gt;other investigative agents. Many people visited by agents are also&lt;br /&gt;afraid of being rude or uncooperative.  Agents may be friendly and&lt;br /&gt;courteous, as if they are attempting to protect you or your&lt;br /&gt;organization, or express admiration for your organization and its&lt;br /&gt;goals. Occasionally, the FBI may persuade a disaffected member of an&lt;br /&gt;organization to give them information about other members, including&lt;br /&gt;their personal lives, character and vulnerabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A major job of FBI agents is to convince people to give up their&lt;br /&gt;rights to silence and privacy. For example, after a Quaker pacifist&lt;br /&gt;spoke in Anchorage, Alaska, at a memorial Service for El Salvador's&lt;br /&gt;Archbishop Romero, FBI agents visited a local priest and interrogated&lt;br /&gt;him about the speaker. The agents asked about the speaker's&lt;br /&gt;organizational affiliations and expressed fears about "terrorist&lt;br /&gt;connections."  The agents informed the priest that they would do a&lt;br /&gt;"computer check" on the speaker and his wife, and asked the priest if&lt;br /&gt;the two might do violence to the U.S. President, scheduled to visit&lt;br /&gt;the area. These interrogations were repeated in the community by&lt;br /&gt;agents who later admitted there was no basis for their questions about&lt;br /&gt;"terrorist connections" and the danger to the President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=6&gt;What if I suspect surveillance?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prudence is the best course, no matter who you suspect, or what the&lt;br /&gt;basis of your suspicion. When possible, confront the suspected&lt;br /&gt;person in public, with at least one other person present. If the&lt;br /&gt;suspect declines to answer, he or she at least now knows that you are&lt;br /&gt;aware of the surveillance. Recently, religious supporters of a&lt;br /&gt;nation-wide call to resist possible U.S. intervention in Central&lt;br /&gt;America noticed unfamiliar people lurking around their offices at 6&lt;br /&gt;a.m., but failed to ask what they wanted and who they were. If you&lt;br /&gt;suspect surveillance, you should not hesitate to ask the suspected&lt;br /&gt;agents names and inquire about their business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The events giving rise to suspicions of surveillance vary widely,&lt;br /&gt;but a general principle remains constant: confront the suspected&lt;br /&gt;agents politely and in public (never alone) and inquire of their&lt;br /&gt;business. If the answer does not dispel your suspicion, share it with&lt;br /&gt;others who may be affected and discuss a collective response. Do not&lt;br /&gt;let fears generated by "conspicuous" surveillance create unspoken&lt;br /&gt;tensions that undermine your work and organization. Creating fear is&lt;br /&gt;often the purpose of obvious surveillance.  When in doubt, call a&lt;br /&gt;trusted lawyer familiar with political surveillance. &lt;b&gt;Please do not call&lt;br /&gt;the number that was printed here as the Movement Support Network Hotline,&lt;br /&gt;because it is no longer active, and is now the private residence of an&lt;br /&gt;unrelated person.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=7&gt;How should I respond to threatening letters or calls?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your home or office is broken into, or threats have been made&lt;br /&gt;against you, your organization, or someone you work with, share this&lt;br /&gt;information with everyone affected. Take immediate steps to increase&lt;br /&gt;personal and office security. You should discuss with your&lt;br /&gt;organization's officials and with a lawyer whether and how to report&lt;br /&gt;such incidents to the police. If you decide to make a report, do not&lt;br /&gt;do so without the presence of counsel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=8&gt;What rights do I have?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Right to Work for Change. The First Amendment to the&lt;br /&gt;U.S. Constitution protects the rights of groups and individuals who&lt;br /&gt;advocate, petition, and assemble to accomplish changes in laws,&lt;br /&gt;government practices, and even the form of government Political&lt;br /&gt;intelligence gathering is not supposed to interfere with these rights. &lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Right to Remain Silent. The Fifth Amendment of the&lt;br /&gt;Constitution provides that every person has the right to remain silent&lt;br /&gt;in the face of questions (other than name and address) posed by any&lt;br /&gt;police officer or government agent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since 1970, however, federal prosecutors may request judges to&lt;br /&gt;order a subpoenaed witness to testify, after a grant of immunity, at a&lt;br /&gt;grand jury hearing or at a criminal trial.  This grant of immunity&lt;br /&gt;means that your Fifth Amendment right to refuse to testify is taken&lt;br /&gt;away. What is given to you is only the promise not to use your&lt;br /&gt;testimony against you in a subsequent criminal prosecution.  But you&lt;br /&gt;can still be charged with a crime.  Failure to testify after a grant&lt;br /&gt;of immunity is discussed on page 12 below. &lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Right to be Free from "Unreasonable Searches and Seizures."&lt;br /&gt;Without a warrant, no government agent is allowed to search your home&lt;br /&gt;or office (or any other place that is yours and private) You may&lt;br /&gt;refuse to let FBI agents come into your house or into your&lt;br /&gt;workplace. unless they have a search warrant. Politeness aside, the&lt;br /&gt;wisest policy is never to let agents inside.  They are trained&lt;br /&gt;investigators and will make it difficult for you to refuse to&lt;br /&gt;talk. Once inside your home or office, just by looking around, they&lt;br /&gt;can easily gather information about your lifestyle, organization, and&lt;br /&gt;reading habits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The right to be free from "unreasonable searches and seizures" is&lt;br /&gt;based on the Fourth Amendment lo the Constitution. This Amendment is&lt;br /&gt;supposed to protect against government access lo your mail and other&lt;br /&gt;written communications, telephone and other&lt;br /&gt;conversations. Unfortunately, it is difficult to detect government&lt;br /&gt;interference with writings and conversations. Modern technology makes&lt;br /&gt;it difficult to detect electronic surveillance on a telephone line,&lt;br /&gt;other listening devices, or cameras that record whatever occurs in a&lt;br /&gt;room. Also common are physical surveillance (such as agents following&lt;br /&gt;in car or on foot), mail covers, and informers carrying tape&lt;br /&gt;recorders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=9&gt;What should I do if police, FBI, or other agents appear with an&lt;br /&gt;arrest or search warrant?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agents who have an arrest or search warrant are the only ones you are&lt;br /&gt;legally required to let into your home or office. You should ask to&lt;br /&gt;see the warrant before permitting access. And you should immediately&lt;br /&gt;ask to call a lawyer. For your own physical safety you should not&lt;br /&gt;resist, even if they do not show you the warrant, or if they refuse to&lt;br /&gt;let you call your lawyer. To the extent permitted by the agents&lt;br /&gt;conducting a search, you should observe the search carefully,&lt;br /&gt;following them and making mental or written notes of what the agents&lt;br /&gt;are doing. As soon as possible, write down what happened and discuss&lt;br /&gt;it with your lawyer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=10&gt;What should I do if agents come to question me?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when agents come with a warrant, you are under no legal&lt;br /&gt;obligation to tell them anything other than your name and address.  It&lt;br /&gt;is important, if agents try to question you, not to answer or make any&lt;br /&gt;statements, at least not until after you have consulted a lawyer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Announce your desire to consult a lawyer, and make every reasonable&lt;br /&gt;effort to contact one as quickly as possible. Your statement that you&lt;br /&gt;wish to speak to the FBI only in the presence of a lawyer, even if it&lt;br /&gt;accomplishes nothing else, should put an end to the agents'&lt;br /&gt;questions. Department of Justice policy requires agents to cease&lt;br /&gt;questioning, or refrain from questioning, anyone who informs them that&lt;br /&gt;he or she is represented by a lawyer.  To reiterate: upon first being&lt;br /&gt;contacted by any government investigator the safest thing to say is,&lt;br /&gt;"Excuse me, but I'd like to talk to my lawyer before I say anything to&lt;br /&gt;you." Or, "I have nothing to say to you. I will talk to my lawyer and&lt;br /&gt;have her [or him] contact you." If agents ask for your lawyer's name,&lt;br /&gt;ask for their business card, and say you will have your lawyer contact&lt;br /&gt;them.  Remember to get the name, agency, and telephone number of any&lt;br /&gt;investigator who visits you. If you do not have a lawyer, call&lt;br /&gt;Movement Support Network Hotline (212) 477-5652, or call the local&lt;br /&gt;office of the National Lawyers Guild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;As soon as possible after your first contact with an investigator,&lt;br /&gt;write a short memo about the visit, including the date, time,&lt;br /&gt;location, people present, any names mentioned by the investigators,&lt;br /&gt;and the reason they gave for their investigation. Also include&lt;br /&gt;descriptions of the agents and their car, if any. This may be useful&lt;br /&gt;to your lawyer and to others who may be contacted by the same agents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;After discussing the situation with your lawyer, you may want to&lt;br /&gt;alert your co-workers, friends, neighbors, or political associates&lt;br /&gt;about the visit. The purpose is not to alarm them, but to insure that&lt;br /&gt;they understand their rights. It might be a good idea to do this at a&lt;br /&gt;meeting at which the history of investigative abuse is presented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=11&gt;If I don't cooperate, doesn't it look like I have something to hide?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the most frequently asked questions. The answer&lt;br /&gt;involves the nature of political "intelligence" investigations and the&lt;br /&gt;job of the FBI. Agents will try to make you feel that it will "look&lt;br /&gt;bad" if you don't cooperate with them. Many people not familiar with&lt;br /&gt;how the FBI operates worry about being uncooperative. Though agents&lt;br /&gt;may say they are only interested in "terrorists" or protecting the&lt;br /&gt;President, they are intent on learning about the habits, opinions, and&lt;br /&gt;affiliations of people not suspected of wrongdoing. Such&lt;br /&gt;investigations, and the kind of controls they make possible, are&lt;br /&gt;completely incompatible with political freedom, and with the political&lt;br /&gt;and legal system envisaged by the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;While honesty may be the best policy in dealing with other people,&lt;br /&gt;FBI agents and other investigators are employed to ferret out&lt;br /&gt;information you would not freely share with strangers. Trying to&lt;br /&gt;answer agents' questions, or trying to "educate them" about your&lt;br /&gt;cause, can be very dangerous -- as dangerous as trying to outsmart&lt;br /&gt;them, or trying to find out their real purpose. By talking to federal&lt;br /&gt;investigators you may, unwittingly, lay the basis for your own&lt;br /&gt;prosecution -- for giving false or inconsistent information to the&lt;br /&gt;FBI. &lt;em&gt;It is a federal crime to make a false statement to an FBI&lt;br /&gt;agent or other federal investigator.&lt;/em&gt; A violation could even be&lt;br /&gt;charged on the basis of two inconsistent statements spoken out of fear&lt;br /&gt;or forgetfulness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=12&gt;Are there any circumstances under which it is advisable to cooperate&lt;br /&gt;with an FBI investigation?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never without a lawyer. There are situations, however, in which an&lt;br /&gt;investigation appears to be legitimate, narrowly focused, and not&lt;br /&gt;designed to gather political intelligence. Such an investigation&lt;br /&gt;might occur if you have been the victim of a crime, or are a witness&lt;br /&gt;to civil rights violations being prosecuted by the federal&lt;br /&gt;government. Under those circumstances, you should work closely with a&lt;br /&gt;lawyer to see that your rights are protected while you provide only&lt;br /&gt;necessary information relevant to a specific incident.  Lawyers may be&lt;br /&gt;able to avoid a witness' appearance before a grand jury, or control&lt;br /&gt;the circumstances of the appearance so that no one's rights are&lt;br /&gt;jeopardized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=13&gt;How can grand juries make people go to jail?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After being granted immunity and ordered to testify by a judge, grand&lt;br /&gt;jury witnesses who persist in refusing to testify can be held in&lt;br /&gt;"civil contempt." Such contempt is not a crime, but it results in the&lt;br /&gt;witness being jailed for up to 18 months, or the duration of the grand&lt;br /&gt;jury, whichever is less. The purpose of the incarceration is to coerce&lt;br /&gt;the recalcitrant witness to testify. In most political cases,&lt;br /&gt;testifying before a grand jury means giving up basic political&lt;br /&gt;principles, and so the intended coercion has no effect -- witnesses&lt;br /&gt;continue to refuse to testify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Witnesses who, upon the request of a grand jury, refuse to provide&lt;br /&gt;"physical exemplars" (samples of handwriting, hair, appearance in a&lt;br /&gt;lineup, or documents) may also be jailed for civil contempt, without&lt;br /&gt;having been granted immunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The charge of "criminal contempt" is also available to the&lt;br /&gt;government as a weapon against uncooperative grand jury witnesses.&lt;br /&gt;For "criminal contempt" there is no maximum penalty -- the sentence&lt;br /&gt;depends entirely on what the judge thinks is appropriate. Charges of&lt;br /&gt;criminal contempt are still rare. They have been used, however,&lt;br /&gt;against Puerto Rican &lt;i&gt;independentistas,&lt;/i&gt; especially those who&lt;br /&gt;have already served periods of incarceration for civil contempt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=14&gt;Is there any way to prevent grand jury witnesses from going to jail?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no sure-fire way to keep a grand jury witness from going to&lt;br /&gt;jail. Combined legal and community support often make a difference,&lt;br /&gt;however, in whether a witness goes to jail and, if so, for how&lt;br /&gt;long. Early awareness of people's rights to refuse to talk to the FBI&lt;br /&gt;may, in fact, prevent you from receiving a grand jury subpoena. If the&lt;br /&gt;FBI is only interested in getting information from you, but not in&lt;br /&gt;jailing you, you may not receive a grand jury subpoena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=15&gt;What can lawyers do?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lawyer can help to ensure that government investigators only do what&lt;br /&gt;they are authorized to do. An attorney can see to it that you do not&lt;br /&gt;give up any of your rights.  If you are subpoenaed to a grand jury&lt;br /&gt;your lawyer can challenge the subpoena in court, help to raise the&lt;br /&gt;political issues that underlie the investigation, and negotiate for&lt;br /&gt;time. Your lawyer can also explain to you the grand jury's procedures&lt;br /&gt;and the legal consequences or your acts, so that you can rationally&lt;br /&gt;decide on your response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=errata&gt;ERRATA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A law enforcement official can only obtain your name and address if he&lt;br /&gt;or she has a reasonable suspicion to believe that you have committed&lt;br /&gt;or are about to commit a crime [&lt;a href="#fn2"&gt;note #2&lt;/a&gt;]. Thus, if an&lt;br /&gt;FBI agent knocks at your door you do not have to identify yourself to&lt;br /&gt;him; you can simply say "I don't want to talk to you," or "You'll have&lt;br /&gt;to speak to my lawyer," and then close the door. An FBI agent, unlike&lt;br /&gt;a local police officer, does not have jurisdiction to investigate&lt;br /&gt;violations of state statute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;hr width="30%" size=2&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First Edition published March 1985.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Published by&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Center for Constitutional Rights&lt;br /&gt;853 Broadway, 14th Floor&lt;br /&gt;NY, NY 10003&lt;br /&gt;(212) 674-3303&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is a non-profit legal and&lt;br /&gt;educational corporation dedicated to advancing and protecting the&lt;br /&gt;rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal&lt;br /&gt;Declaration of Human Rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Contributions to the CCR are tax-deductible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additional copies or this publication can be ordered from the&lt;br /&gt;Center for Constitutional Rights at the address above.

(This stage cannot be jumped into speedily, as it will take a lot of mind-conditioning.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stage Four:&lt;/strong&gt; Abolish the despised and burdensome annual income tax, with all its forms, in favor of a convenient, on the spot, consumption tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stage Five:&lt;/strong&gt; Lock-in all transactions of buying and selling to that process. Presto, the "problem" of identity all solved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Signs to watch out for:&lt;/strong&gt; Escalation of super-hyped media awareness everywhere of identity theft for public mind-conditioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Behold, I have told you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J.A.I.L.- Judicial Accountability Initiative Law - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jail4judges.org"&gt;www.jail4judges.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contribute to J.A.I.L. at P.O.
