Next time you send a private e-mail message or speak on the phone about personal and confidential information, think about who might be listening and recording this information. Everything is monitored in one way or another.

The government has extensive spying techniques for keeping an eye on its citizens. The National Security Agency and the FBI regularly violate our privacy with their wiretapping laws.

We now have the program ECHELON, which is the National Security Agency’s secret global surveillance network that monitors most personal communications around the world. (Check out this organization on http://www.freecongress.org/ctp/echelon.html)

The European Parliament has expressed an interest in participating in the NSA’s spying programs as well. China already has a spying program of its own set up. There are plans between the European Community and the FBI to cooperate on building up this global surveillance system in order to be able to spy on all telecommunications anywhere in the world. The "Appraisal of the Technologies of Political Control" now has the EU and FBI Global Telecommunications Surveillance System that has been established under the Maastricht Treaty for the cooperation in the areas of justice and police work.

The European Secret Service Union, ENFORPOL is being established which allows police to monitor all communications everywhere without giving notice to those they are spying on.

What happened to the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution? Seems that our rights went right out the window as new technological devices are being put into place.

This is an inexpensive way for anyone to make telephones calls anywhere in the world. Thus the bait is set to reel in all the willing participants in this new program with worldwide communication and tracking capabilities.

The United States, the European Community, Japan, China, and most of the Pacific Rim countries are all signed into this new program.

The new Iridium satellite systems are being forced to create wiretapping friendly technology in order to provide easy access to any electronic or voice communication around the world. ENFOPOL will monitor all communications everywhere. Not only do we have our own government spying on us but the governments around the world taking their turn at eavesdropping on all of us.

Encryption will not be a safeguard against this snooping. The ENFOPOL system will also be helped by a subject tagging system allowing those operating these systems to track us wherever we may go. This is called the International User Requirements for Interception (IUR). IUR will create a data processing and transmission network that requires the names, addresses, phone numbers of the targets as well as their associates, e-mail addresses, credit card details, PIN numbers, and passwords.

Nothing is secret anymore. All speech over the telephone, any communication through e-mail and FAX will be monitored and logged into a global system of observation.

Still think we have privacy?

Pretty soon that television we sit in front of every day will be used as a monitoring device to further expand the surveillance to include our every word and action. This technology has already been developed and is just waiting to be put into place.

Eyes and ears are everywhere. Are you ready?
