They are found on your Yahoo Mail home page. Today is a story about "telecom Immunity". This is the first blurb I've seen on the subject of internet security, and FISA.
Read it very carefully and you can
tell from certain statements that internet
communications will be open to
government surveillance.
I can't keep you updated on this,but
I'm asking others interested to bring
up this subject also.

I have been sounding this alarm for about one month now...the FISA is before congress now...it is imperative that you ALL write your senators and reps to vote NO to this insidious bill..it erodes our constitutional rights ... you can be dragged from your home at no warning, told nothing as to why, held indeffinently without representation, and if I know our dear government, tortured! The US we have today is NOTHING like the US we thought we knew. The internet bill is a travesty of invasion of privacy. I have reached the point that I am much more afraid of my own Government than I am of terrorists !!!! You should be also ! IF you think it can't happen here, you are just plain old WRONG ! IT not only can, it has, and is getting much worse, day by day. Get off Yahoo and start the emails immediately. If we give up rights for security, soon enough, we will have neither! Goldwing (Phil)
This could be enough for me to be dragged from my house and held for years ! What scares me more is those who get their 'news' from Fox ! Fox is the "National Enquirer" of TV...they invent stories, out and out lie!

No. I read the news on the web sites for the BBC, the Voice of America, the Christian Science Monitor and about eight other newspapers's english language editions from different countries.
The Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Act was already amended in December of 2001. Section 314 of Public Law #107-108 (Intelligence Services Re-Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002) permitted electronic surveillance without a warrant for up to 72 hours.
What I do find remarkable was the absolute indifference paid to Executive Order # 12949, signed by President William Jefferson Clinton, on February 9th of 1995. That not only permitted warrantless electronic surveillance for up to 72 hours, it also permitted warrantless physical searches. And he signed it months before the bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City.
I think sometimes the conspiracy freaks lose their sense of direction and target selection.

I am fortunately or unfortunately, depending on the 'take' of the day, a newshound....although I prefer alternative news sources, I do read mainstream news also. So everyday I read Yahoo! News, MSN, CNN, MSNBC and the Washington Post - online [gave up print media 'cause I'm allergic to the ink!]
Some days it drives me crazy since so much is either depressing or just plain 'fluff' [read Britney, Paris, etc.]. Others, I am intrigued with new discoveries; so-called 'insider' revelations and the story you just mentioned.
Re: that story - IMHO remains to be seen...sorta matters not to me as for many decades now I have been aware of the Big Brother surveillance, thanks to my Dad informing me of things way back when.
Since I am basically a honest, law abiding person I just can't be worried at this late date in my life, but it DOES concern me for the generations following me.

Did you read the story on Yahoo News a few months ago about a guy that was on some board got into with a guy in Texas and drove down there and burned his trailer down. This is the honest to god truth and somewhere I still have it!!

Yes, I read some of them. I have Yahoo as my home page, so it comes up when I log on. I also read news from other sources and listen to the local news casts. I often have to wade through all the frivolous stuff, to get to the real news stories.

I read everybodys top news stories across the globe....everyday.
Internet has been on top survellience for years.
Nothing posted anywhere here is "secret" or "private". Homeland security and all. Patriot act and all. They trace every order...every comment...every donation...every question...every family pic.
The internet is nothing more than standing naked in your front yard with a bull horn and video.
