Letters to the Editor
This message from ptosis was in reply to my article Credibility Protection Program, on page 1 of the August issue. In that article, I mentioned a hypothetical Perpetrator's Protection Program. —editor
Perpetrator's protection program? Nope they just kill them. People are disposable. —ptosis
... By the way, I deeply enjoyed the most recent edition of "The Frontiersman" —Sir Donald the Elusive
Friends, For many of you the facts are obvious, but here, in one page of a newsletter, are an accumulation of recent sad stories of the many ways the people are being abused by bullies in uniform. One story is of a judge victimized. At least one story lends advice if you are threatened. "Fight back" the wrong way, and you are dead. "Talk back" and you may be dead. "Cooperate" and you may be tricked into a confession and/or imprisoned. Be aware. This is not your grandfather's America. This is happening here. We should keep these stories in mind when our local police chief adds more tanks, helicopters and Swat teams to "defend" us. This year some cities will begin discussing putting always-on cameras on the lapels of police personnel. Let your opinion be known. Carry a small camera with you at all times for self-protection. When using it, do not be obvious; practice operating it at your side, or recording sound from your pocket. Don't overlook the "hyperlinks" in the articles, leading to more disturbing facts. http://personalliberty.com/2012/05/21/why-it-doesnt-pay-to-cooperate-with-police/ —Jonathan; San Jose, California
Another message from Jonathan. —editor
If at all concerned with privacy, put this web address in your bookmarks. There's a lot of info, and how you handle these things now is HIGHLY prone to both privacy violations and govt snooping. Note that corps that promise to maintain privacy will still respond to govt requests to get nosy and hand over the saved info. The overly curious bureaucrat won't hesitate to use a mideast bombing incident, local picketing, or a poison letter sent to a govt idiot as an excuse to snoop. http://personalliberty.com/2013/08/13/infographic-nine-tips-to-keep-your-internet-usage-private/ Finally the FBI under the FOI mandate, has admitted to spying on Noam Chomsky for YEARS, but they conveniently destroyed all the files. Do you believe that claim? —Jonathan, San Jose, California
The Diary of Cyber Sleuth:
Day Fifteen
Fiction by Sam Aurelius Milam III You betcha by golly! I haven't been back in the internet yet but I have been listening to the news on the radio. They can't trace that to me. A radio's completely a passive receiver. No output signal. Damn did my virus mothers work! What a hell of a mess. They tried to keep it quiet but it got so bad, so widespread, they couldn't keep it covered. Nobody in the agencies could trust the data or the performance of any computer program. SWAT teams went to wrong addresses, the wrong bank accounts were frozen, innocent people were arrested, the wrong foreign dignitaries were assassinated, payoffs went to the wrong politicians, computers declassified lists of secret agents, you name it, use your imagination, whatever you can think of, it went wrong. Management in every agency gradually went ballistic over faulty data entry and poor programming. Blamed the escalating mess on programmers and data entry clerks. The programmers and the data entry clerks knew, of course, that it wasn't their fault but try to tell that to management. Heads rolled. Data entry clerks came under such scrutiny that they could barely work. Everything was triple checked, everybody checking work by everybody else. New programs or changes to existing programs couldn't be approved unless there were signatures from as many co-bag-holders as management could possibly arrange. Even installing a new operating system got to where it seemed like a national security emergency. It got harder and harder for the agencies to do business. Data entry clerks and programmers like to of started a mutiny and management rose to whole new levels of stupidity and excess supervision. Security consultants and analysts were getting filthy rich except for insurmountable problems about getting paid. Data files again. Things might have completely blown at the seams and set the black arts of government back a thousand years if somebody hadn't discovered

Maybe Not Original Source Unknown. Forwarded by Sir Donald the Elusive. A man walked into a pharmacy and wandered up and down the aisles. The sales girl noticed him and asked him if she could help him. He answered that he was looking for a box of tampons for his wife. The sales girl directed him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposited a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She asked, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?" He answered, "Yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes. She came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers, because it was cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own, so does she.
