1. What makes you think that?

Could a router keep them from doing that?

2. No a router can not!

I had a terrible dream last night about the Patroit Act & certain people being detained before Election day. Talk about a night mare!

Dear XXXX

when does it get into your brain that the entire internet was a militray idea
AND all the major OS software is designed with that stealth use in mind

NSA keys and other things sometime discovered as "security" problems
when they are not good enough hidden in the system
are simply Big Brothers way of utilizing the Millions of internet computers as
distrinuted partial units . . . . .only remember you are with the newer OSs
enticed to keep your comp on all the time . . . . . .

most normal people use only 5% of the current computing power in pentiums
anyways- what do you you think happens with the rest .....

unfortunately too many are simply ignorant and complacent about this

and LINUX is/was only a free 32-bit Kernel - all the other "peripheral software
comes from other programmers/companies and most not for free or rather if
its free it has most likely the additional "interest" perfectly hidden - since
Linux is more stable than Windows it is perhaps even of more interest to
stealth use from outside

or maybe we have rivaling Big Brothers
one using Windows the other using Linux
well all this is now "conspiracy paranoia" - or perhaps not ?

until recently I was safe using an old 486 for internet /e-mail
with old Win3 but THEN my ISP upgraded to Windows 2003 server
and now 16bit access is no longer allowed OR RATHER SUPPORTED
- for " security reasons" - they abandonned all upload/mail send from 16 bit
non Microsoft software - and Mocrosoft only supports 32 bit now
then only download of mail was still possible
however only with the microsoft dialer
my trusted Trumpet-Winsock was blocked . . ..so was Pegasus Mail

finally I used then Win98SE on a pentium2 only to see my comp being
hijacked and spooling data like crazy during internet connection

so far the freeSygate firewall put an end to that
and the free Grisoft AVG virus scanner caught everything so far

but nearly each time log on
my comp is shortly after scanned for unused TCP ports
as the Sygate firewall lets me know

so even with "obsolete" older computers you are no longer
out of interest if you use a 32 bit OS

my recommedation keep anything important in an other system
not connected to the internet -even if it is "old / obsolete"
and print out important things for your own record keeping
- you never know how your hard drive data may be changed

4. Some left wing sites have doj.gov in their logs.

Some people have posted their logs here and they are full of visits from doj.gov.

11. it wouldn't be that hard to block them

on a hostname level at least *.doj.gov

not that your average 13yo geek couldn't get around that one.

7. I know the Bastards are traking us.

Whenever i make a comment that is against the COUP leader or his policies, i always leave a nice little howdy to John Ashcroft. Just my little way of telling them that i can smell them 25 nodes away!

Hey Ashcroft.....go fuck yourself!

8. It's probably one of the simpler things to collect from ISPs

and don't even get started on Carnivore, Eschelon and everything else. These computers may be a tool for us, but they are also a tool for them, too...

10. In the long run...

U.S. Government tracking website usage from users

... would you change anything you say if you were sure someone was looking? If not, then forget about it.

OTOH, if you really want to bore the socks off them, we ladies will be happy to discuss, at length, our individual gynecological problems or the difficult births of each of our children... will that help?
