Speaking at a recent meeting on lawful interception between ISPs and Austrian regulators, an unnamed "high-ranking" official at Austria's interior ministry said that listening into a conversation over Skype presented no particular problems, Heise security reports.

The opinion contrasts with the view of Joerg Ziercke, president of Germany's Federal Police Office (BKA). At a meeting last November Ziercke said that the inability to decipher the encryption used by Skype in order to intercept VoIP calls had become a problem in counter-terrorism investigations. Weeks after this, leaked documents outlining plans by German firm Digitask to develop software to intercept Skype VoIP communications and SSL transmissions, along with related costing and licensing proposals, surfaced through Wikileaks.

A report in the reputable Heise Online says the issue was discussed at a meeting with ISPs last month where high-ranking officials at the Austrian interior ministry claims “it is not a problem for them to listen in on Skype conversations.”

The report said a number of others at the meeting confirmed that claim.

Heise Online said Skype officials declined to give a detailed response to specific queries as to whether the popular Internet telephone service contains a backdoor and whether specific clients allowing access to a system or a specific key for decrypting data streams exist.

The response from the eBay subsidiary’s press spokesman was brief, “Skype does not comment on media speculation. Skype offers no further comment at present.” There have been rumors of the existence of a special listening device which Skype is reported to offer for sale to interested states.

Because the vendor has not revealed details of its proprietary Skype protocol or of how the client works, questions as to what else Skype is capable of and what risks are involved in deploying it in an enterprise environment remain open, the report said.

It also cited public broadcast reports that Austrian police are able to listen in on Skype connections.

What I would like to know is what he plans on doing with this information should he actually receive it (which I'm sure he won't). Is he going to go kick the guys door down and beat him up for talking bad about him? Boo flippin hoo...the fact is anybody can say anything they want in this country without the fear of being punished for it. Of course, intentional defamation is another story ,but you have to prove that the person knew it was a lie.

Here is the article.

Undercover Maryland state troopers infiltrated three groups advocating peace and protesting the death penalty — attending meetings and sending reports on their activities to U.S. intelligence and military agencies, according to documents released Thursday.

The documents show the activities occurred from at least March 2005 to May 2006 and that officers used false names, which the documents referred to as "covert identities" - to open e-mail accounts to receive messages from the groups.

Also included in the 46 pages of documents, obtained by the Maryland chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, is an account of an activist's name being entered into a federally funded database designed to share information among state, local and federal law-enforcement agencies on terrorist and drug trafficking suspects.

The activist was identified as Max Obuszewski. His "primary crime" was entered into the database as "terrorism - anti govern(ment)." His "secondary crime" was listed as "terrorism - anti-war protestors." The database is known as the Washington-Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, or HIDTA.

Included in the documents are references to a proposed sit-in at the offices of Baltimore County State's Attorney SandraA. O'Connor. However, they show no trooper reports of violence or threats of violence. Organizers repeatedly stressed the importance of peaceful and orderly demonstrations, the documents show.

"There were about 75-80 protestors at the rally and none participated in any type of civil disobedience or illegal acts," said one report of a demonstration against the death penalty at the SuperMax jail. "Protesters were even careful to move out of the way for Division of Correction employees who were going into the parking lot for work."

Still, information about the protesters and their activities was sent to seven agencies, including the National Security Agency and an unnamed military intelligence official.

The Democratic Congress passed and President Bush signed the “FISA Amendments Act of 2008,” legalizing the president's illegal wiretapping program.

The law allows broad warrantless surveillance of Americans in the United States, so long as the call or e-mail is thought to be international.

Eavesdropping on domestic communications is legal for a week before court papers even have to be filed. The telecom companies that cooperated with Bush are immune from civil lawsuits. Most important, the administration's illegal conduct has been retroactively approved and future administrations have wider powers than ever to spy on Americans.

The Democratic leadership and virtually all congressional Republicans approved the law. In a complete reversal of his campaign promise, so did Sen. Barack Obama. Last October, his campaign announced, “To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies.” Instead, he voted to prevent a filibuster and then he voted for the bill.

Democrats and Obama supporters defend the betrayal with hollow claims that the law actually protects civil liberties. Why then was Bush so eager to sign it? Missouri Republican Sen. Christopher Bond, a leader in this “compromise,” says “the White House got a better deal than even they had hoped.”

Two years ago, the Democrats seemed outraged after we learned Bush had ordered the National Security Agency, a military outfit, to spy on Americans without warrants, in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Now they control Congress with good odds at the presidency. Power and the hope for more power corrupt.

As Salon.com, civil liberties expert Glenn Greenwald notes, “in 2006, when the Congress was controlled by [Republicans], the administration tried to get a bill passed legalizing warrantless eavesdropping and telecom amnesty, but was unable. They had to wait until the Congress was controlled by [Democrats] Steny Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to accomplish that.”

Both parties have long been at war with the Fourth Amendment.

In 1978, after the Senate's Church Committee reported decades of intelligence abuses, President Carter signed FISA to regulate foreign surveillance. It created a secret court within the Justice Department with unpublished decisions that went on to grant warrants for every one out of 13,000 requests up until Sept. 11, 2001. FISA's standards were already much lower than the Constitution's.

Nearly all Republicans and Democrats voted for the Patriot Act in 2001 to amend FISA more to Bush's liking. Supposedly, FISA had obstructed investigations of such terror suspects as “twentieth hijacker” Zacarias Moussaoui. In reality, the FBI agents could have gotten a warrant for him had they understood the law.

In 2002, after the FISA court unanimously rejected the administration's attempt to revamp it for law enforcement, the Justice Department, under John Ashcroft, successfully appealed to a special, secret FISA Appeals Court and got the new powers they wanted.

Despite all this capitulation to the administration, for years the NSA has been ignoring FISA altogether to wiretap calls within the United States. We do not know the extent of Bush's extrajudicial surveillance. But in 2004, even Ashcroft and other Justice Department officials considered his spying program illegal, refused to sign off on it, and threatened to resign over it, according to former Deputy Attorney General James Comey's testimony at the Senate Judiciary Committee last year.

And now Obama and the Democratic leadership have approved the extrajudicial activity that even Ashcroft considered outrageously illegal. This is no surprise, actually.

Democratic presidents since Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt have long abused intelligence powers, spying on large groups of peaceful Americans and political opponents. Under Republicans such as Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon, the abuses continued. Jimmy Carter's approval of FISA was itself an abandonment of the Fourth Amendment, and Bill Clinton widened stealth surveillance of the citizenry far more than any president before him. Now Bush has set new precedents in extrajudicial spying and the Democrats give every indication the trend will continue.

Having broken his promise to oppose the new law, Obama now promises to “monitor the program closely” as president but who would monitor him? The Fourth Amendment is supposed to protect us from an unchecked executive, no matter who the president, no matter the party.

The Fourth Amendment offers little comfort and trust toward would-be rulers. No wonder the feeling is mutual.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindall has signed HB 715, "Directs the Department of Public Safety and Corrections not to implement the federal REAL ID Act of 2005." The new law also requires that the department "report to the governor any attempt by agencies or agents of the United States Department of Homeland Security to secure the implementation of the REAL ID Act through the operations of that division and department."

I applaud Louisiana.

And I would like to award them and the 20 other states that have passed Anti-REAL ID legislation with The Golden Birdie Award for giving their own one-fingered salutes to the Federal Government.

BUT to the States among them that only passed non-binding resolutions, I would also like to admonish them (not that they'll listen to me) to pass legally binding legislation against REAL ID and stop beating around the bush. Take a stand, or don't.

But regardless, I salute their efforts. They've earned it.

A The Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII), indica na sua página que "O parlamento europeu aprovou hoje uma directiva que criará a maior base de dados de vigilância a nível mundial, monitorizando todas as comunicações dentro da UE "

DataRetPr051214En - FFII

The Data Retention Directive was passed by 378 votes to 197, following deals between the Council and the leaders of the two largest parties in Parliament, the EPP-ED (Conservatives) and the PSE (Socialists). The Rapporteur for the directive, Alexander Alvaro (Liberals) had his name removed from the report in protest.

Jonas Maebe of the FFII says: "Among other harsh measures, the directive mandates recording of the source and destination of all emails you send and every call you make, and your location and movement during mobile phone calls. Additionally, the directive says nothing about who has to pay for all this logging, which will significantly distort the internal telecommunications market."

A directiva obriga que sejam guardados todos os dados relativos à origem e destino de todos os e-mails e chamadas telefónicas, bem como a localização e movimentação durante essas mesmas chamadas.

The couple was under siege, and all because they went public about wearing a wire to set up their former friend, ex-cop Drew Peterson, whose fourth wife has been missing since October and whose third wife was the victim of a March 2004 homicide that remains unsolved.

Stark and Wawczak claim they wore a wire around Peterson for nearly seven months, ending their undercover operation in mid-June. Friends of Peterson for about 16 years, the couple said he mocked investigators as "idiots"; called third wife Kathleen Savio a slur and said he should have had her cremated; and predicted he'd be tried and acquitted long before fourth wife Stacy's remains were found.

As previously posted, neighbor's on either side have attracted unwarrented attention for getting involved. What silly non-sense message is being sent.

Presidential candidate wants domestic “security force” as powerful as U.S. military, columnist compares proposal to Hitler Youth

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
July 17, 2008

Presidential frontrunner Barack Obama has called for a “civilian national security force” as powerful as the U.S. military, comments that were ignored by the vast majority of the corporate media but compared by one journalist to the Nazi Hitler Youth.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded,” Obama told a Colorado Springs audience earlier this month.

World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah asked if he was the only journalist in America who found Obama’s statement troubling.

“If we’re going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn’t this rather a big deal?” wrote Farah.

“Are we talking about creating a police state here? The U.S. Army alone has nearly 500,000 troops. That doesn’t count reserves or National Guard. In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion. Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that? If not, why did he say it? What did he mean?”

KnoxNews.com is seemingly the only other media outlet to express interest in exactly what Obama is proposing.

“The statement was made in the context of youth service. Is this an organization for just the youth or are adults going to participate? How does one get away from the specter of other such “youth” organizations from Nazi Germany and the former Soviet Union when talking about it?” wrote Michael Silence.

Obama’s proposal smacks of an expanded version of an existing program in which hundreds of police, firefighters, paramedics and utility workers have been trained and recently dispatched as “Terrorism Liaison Officers” in Colorado, Arizona and California to watch for “suspicious activity” which is later fed into a secret government database.

It is also reminiscent of the supposedly canned 2002 Operation TIPS program, which would have turned 4 per cent of Americans into informants under the jurisdiction of the Justice Department.

TIPS lived on in other guises, such as the Highway Watch program, a $19 billion dollar Homeland Security-run project which trains truckers to watch for suspicious activity on America’s highways.

More recently, ABC News reported that “The FBI is taking cues from the CIA to recruit thousands of covert informants in the United States as part of a sprawling effort…..to aid with criminal investigations.”

Since authorities now define mundane activities like buying baby formula, beer, wearing Levi jeans, carrying identifying documents like a drivers license and traveling with women or children or mentioning the U.S. constitution as the behavior of potential terrorists, the bounty for the American Stasi to turn in political dissidents is sure to be too tempting to resist under Obama’s new program.

Investigation on Richelle Robles Briones Case

Source: Times Online

Official ‘surveillance’ requests for details of telephone and internet records have surged to 1,400 a day, according to figures published yesterday.

The annual number of ‘spying’ requests for private communications data jumped to almost 520,000 last year, compared with an average of less than 350,000 in the two previous years.

Local councils have been criticised for seeking the information to tackle under age drinking, dog fouling, littering and even to find out whether a family lived in a school catchment area.

Although local authorities made up only a small proportion of the overall number of requests in 2007, they were criticised for misunderstanding the concept of proportionality in when ‘spying’ is justified to tackle a problem.

Figures from the intercept commissioner show that there were a total of 519,200 requests for communications data made under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. The requests apply to who made a call, when and where it was made but not the content.

Sir Paul Kennedy, the commissioner, said that the vast majority of requests were made by police and the security services with only 1,707 made by 154 local authorities.

Local councils can apply for the information to tackle a range of issues including crime, protecting the environment and public health and dealing with the sale of counterfeit goods.

Sir Paul said local authorities could make much more use of the surveillance powers to help them investigate crimes in their areas.

But in a separate report, Sir Christopher Rose, the Chief Surveillance Commissioner, called for a series of improvements to the way local councils use the powers.

Sir Christopher said that although councils tended to request covert activity as a last resort, the documentation requesting communications data tended to be poor.

He said some councils had a “tendency to expose lack of understanding of the legislation” and displayed a “serious misunderstanding of the concept of proportionality”.

A perfect example of how the State and its underlings abuse power, given the opportunity. The States' answer to these issues? Why, more STATE POWER!!!

Rambam found "the accused" catting around in the guise of a dominatrix.

Rambam often says that "privacy is dead."

Rambam, a/k/a Steve Rombom, has a colorful history, too.

He also has at least one peculiar enemy, who says he is revealing Rambam's own secrets.

Reuters/Second Life » Avatars beware: Private investigators scouring Second Life
Rambam’s client told him this story: Twenty years ago as a child, he had been molested by one of his grade school teachers, a trauma he never fully recovered from. “The client believes/d that pedophiles don’t ‘retire’ — I absolutely agree — and he wanted to prevent the target from molesting anyone else,” Rambam said in an email. “We were retained to investigate, gather evidence, and if evidence was found then convince the target to retire from teaching.”

So Rambam started looking into his target — now an assistant principal — and discovered the man was a Second Life user. Pallorium investigators logged into Second Life and tracked down the man’s avatar, only to discover his Second Life identity was a leather-clad dominatrix.

Add a twist to your Surveillance program. One client understood that possibility and took us up on the challenge. Visit his web-site, in the left hand column you click on the camera, download a small Java applet, and if it's during normal business hours, clients can see live streaming video of the repair work.

This is actual proof what alternative uses are available when discussing Surveillance cameras. Retaining clients is a big concern for most businesses. Finding that added niche of service that keeps them connected should not be such a difficult task, when you look at what you already have.

Service oriented businesses should lead the way in deploying this concept. The best part, this capability is already available using ALNET DVR cards. Visiting our Live Demo page

   Much emphasis has already been placed on businesses to equip themselves with Security Cameras to help prevent theft, and provide evidence to Police.  While we STRONGLY BELIEVE in these uses for security cameras in your business, the benefits of security cameras do NOT END THERE.  If you have a retail business, you can be using your security cameras for many other purposes, which can improve your overall sales.

   After the initial expense of installing a camera system into your business, it is generally easy to add extra cameras, which can provide you with the ability to monitor customers while they are shopping in your store.  These cameras can be aligned to watch customers as they move through your store, so that you can see where the customers are stopping and looking or picking up product.  This can allow you to ascertain the effectiveness of your displays, or the placement of those displays.

    The camera placement, coupled with the ability to quickly play back pre-recorded footage from those specific cameras only when motion is detected, can allow you to quickly gather much needed evidence to support changes to your product display layouts, display advertisements and more.  You can even gauge customer reactions to the display with appropriately placed cameras.  The best thing about this use of cameras, is that you can leave yourself additional cabling, and move the cameras around as you move your displays around throughout your retail facility.

    Let's continue to use these cameras to prevent theft, but let's begin to expand our systems beyond the prevention of theft, and begin to use our cameras to improve retail sales through proper planning of our store, and providing additional evidence of the effectiveness of our retail marketing displays.

Platinum CCTV Surveillance Solutions has been attempting to expand the horizons of many business owners, to help them go beyond just preventing losses through theft and vandalism, to eventually help them improve their business through expanded use of security cameras.  These concepts have already been applied and tested in many retail and business environments, and have been demonstrated to help improve customer relationships, improve sales and improve customer referrals through the expanded use of business security cameras.
