Read much? Guess not.
I only said it was something interesting.
I, personally would not put it past them to put in a back door. Of course Microsoft would never think of putting in any kind of back door or information gathering thingy. They so respect you right to privacy. That's why you don't hear anything about their former GWA piece of spyware that called home sending them your personal info if not more, that they auto loaded onto your system without your approval when you downloaded automatic updates or installed a new(vista) O/S.
We must remember the government wouldn't dare do anything illegally like listening to you without a court order. They, of course, respect your right to privacy and all that talk about illegal wire taps on domestic and international phone calls was just bogus. The senate hearings with former US Attorney Alberto Gonzales was nothing more than prime time news entertainment. Of course he never did anything illegal by approving non court ordered wiretaps on over 1.5 million phones and more. He was just following directives from the President's office. Like Nixon said, if the President does it, "it's not Illegal".
We have to remember too, that the CIA or another government agency never approached AOL, Google etc.. to provide all there client's history of internet suffering. Where AOL complied without questioning and turn ovet tens of thousands of IP'S internet tracking records and Google told them where they could get off. And now the CIA is pushing for the government to make a law where they can get all/any records from any US search engine or IPS to see what you have been looking at on-line without any court order. The CIA complains that their super computers that are positioned through the world, which sniff very document transfered through the internet is just not enough. They really what to know what citizens of their country are talking about with citizens of other countries and visa versa. The news medias are/were just lying about that.
Yes, the US Senate hearings (back in the late 1990's) on trying to get a law pasted where CPU manufactures were suppose to install a back door so the government could inspect personal PC's any where at any time never happened. Of course they would never ever think of doing that.
And we do know that "If your not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" makes complete sense. 320 folks in Gitmo are getting fair trials, were never tortured and have completely legal representation and where held justly without anything proved against them. Those we know about. The other 6 to 10 thousand folks being held in various north american prisons might beg to differ, We'll never know the exact number because the government has laws in place so that information doesn;t have to be released. That they have the right to hold anyone indefinately without being charged or revealing why they are being held. Plus they stop thiose being held from communicating with anyone anywhere.
No one has ever got to prison with a wrong conviction. All these folks that were proven innocent after 10 or 20 years sitting in jail were nothing more than a mistake that was corrected. No one has ever been transported by any government agency to a prison in a country where torture is the standard for interrogation. No citizen has ever been kidnapped by our governments and take to a 3rd country again where torture was used for interrogation.
Yes, various policing agency's would never ever construct false evidence to get someone they wanted to get. We all get treated with bind justice. We don't live in a time where, what was once considered Police Brutality and if proven got police fired is now classified as Standard Procedure.

Look I post stuff from time to time not to start agreements or to cause controversy, but to say "Maybe there is more to this then what meets the eye."
This idea that if your not doing anything wrong so you have nothing to worry about is extremely dangerous. And they one folks who truly know how dangerous it is are those who had themselves or a family member or a close friend that had that belief go through constructed evidence for some unknown reason and paid the price.
Edger J. Hoover, one time/ long time director of the F.B.I. could get away with anything he wanted. How he managed such power is that he had anyone and everyone in power that could do something about it or stop him investigated to the point of where he could bring up something that would destroy their career or have enough information that he could make nothing look like something and destrory their lives.
Look at what happens to school teachers who are accused of sexual assault by one of their students. Even if it is discovered that the student out right lied, that the charges were 100% bogus and proven to be so in a court of law. That teacher is 100% innocent their career in teaching is over. No school board is willing to take the chance. Plus the majority of people in the community look upon that teacher with suspicion and some got to the extent of harassing the former teacher and their family because they too are of the belief: "If you didn't do anything wrong then why would you have been charged?"
Keep in mind that how governments anywhere keep control of their people in 2 ways. By keeping them poor/needy and dependent on the government or through information. Which group are you in?
I don't fear for us. I fear for our grandchildren. The day is coming and you can see the signs all over, if your willing to look at what is today and what was yesterday. Then do the math to see where it is all leading to for tomorrow, you might see that there maybe more truth to those conspiracy theories than not.
I fear that it is more likely than not, that our grandchildren will look back on the days of Hitler's Secret Police, the Gestapo, in Nazi Germany and call then the Good Old Days.
So do some reading on how various social orders evolved not only in your own country but in other countries too and you'll see the pattern. And keep in ind that some of us were around when things happened. Some of us very much remember watch the Beatles on the first North American appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. We remember watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. the nightmare of Apollo 13. We remember watching John F. Kennedy getting shot, Lyndon Johnson ordering 100 thousand troupes into Vietnam, Richard Nixon's disgrace with Watergate scandal.
Never be ready to dismiss without facts. Read, investigate then form your own conclusions based on findings.
Thanks for letting me rant. Hope this was interesting reading.

Truthfully it makes me sick. but that's my opinion BASED ON FACTS, if ya dont believe me, i challenge you ALL to research it, i'ver had enough run ins with the law to where i HAD to research these things, ya can't argue with writing my friends, it states facts wether ya like it or not
