4th Amendment:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Yep, I see it. It says right there that international phone calls to
Al Qaida-connected people shall not be monitored in time of war (unless
a court has taken the time to approve it, of course).


One of the groups that the government likes to listen in on overseas
happens
to be American journalists. They make calls from overseas to the US all
the
time. Lots of times they may have information the government might want,
like who they have been in contact with, terrorists maybe? Those
journalists
have a right to privacy, which is in the constitution. Sure, they're not
terrorists but so what if the government goes a little too far and taps
them
anyway. It might stop a terrorist act, right?

Once you let the government get rolling they never know when to stop. Give
up a few rights and the next thing you know they want to take some
more...and more. It's like taxes, once they put them on something how
often
do they take them off? Like, haven't they taken in enough taxes yet to
have
paid for that bridge in San Francisco? If we don't keep a tight leash on
the
government we're going to wind up with a tight one on us.

I kind of like that leash that Paris Hilton has on her dog. I think it
would look really good on Harry Reid, but only if he would eat dog biscuits,
and I could pull his ear if he made any unpleasant or inappropriate sounds.

What do YOU think? And what size choker do you like? Or do you like the
soft collars?

There are so many choices when reining in a government.

I have a dominatrix that's a diesel mechanic who's temporarily out of work.
Well, just until her case comes up, and they can't find one of the
witnesses, so it looks good for her. Do you have any positions open for
her? Lordy knows, she's good in a lot of positions. I'm sure she'd be a
very strict person for the other end of your leash. Of course, she would
need adequate compensation, a limo, a driver, and she's really not into
compromises.

I'll mention to it to her next time we have a session.

In the meantime, watch out for those invisible silent black helicopters, and
the inaudible wiretaps. And cell phone interception. And radar monitoring
with laser enhanced barcoding. The ones on Campbell's soup are actually
self transferring. If you pick up a can of Campbell's, then check your hand
with a black light, you will see what I mean. It works the same way with
drinking water additives from your local city supplier. And doubly worse
with bottled water. Just drink some of it, and hold a black light up to
your pee stream. It's enough to make you want to drink only rainwater, but
that can be influenced by electromagnetic wave pulses from satellites. Did
you know that? Of course you would, being knowledgeable about clandestine
government activities.

We need to get together, but need a code. We have to be very careful,
though. They broke Letterman's code, and he has some of the best code
monkeys known to the free world. We need to let that one die down for a
couple of months before we start anything. We could pass coded information
through the newsgroup, just like Al Kayda is doing. He's posting under
various aliases, but those of us who know, know who he is. Right, Hawke?
Or is that High Flyer? I didn't get the last code book. And now that this
Letterman thing has broken, I'm not sure my last book hasn't been
compromised.

And don't worry too much about what the government does. They're mainly
lackeys working for The Outfit, and are in the process of working their way
up. The journalists too.

Go to your nearest Starbucks and sit by the window. Watch the outside for a
man smoking Marlboros. When he tosses his crumpled cigarette package on the
ground, pick it up, take it home, and hold it to a black light. There will
be a message for you.

I hope that I am knowing that I can trust you to do these things. You know
the other alternative.
