Subject: AOL Approves Spy Devices

Hi All:

I just heard this afternooin on a radio talk show dealing with the new high tech that AOL has just approved the implementing of allowing all ... 30 MILLION OF IT'S WEBSITES TO CARRY AND PLANT ON UNSUSPECTING COMPUTERS spyware devices that according to them would allow advertisers to track the pages that their subscribers visit. Unlike Explorer or Netscape it is not known whether they will allow you the option of turning these off.

Beside the obvious intrusion of our privacy by forcing us to allow advertisers to track our viewing habits, it leaves another larger question unanswered.

For just a little background it was originally Netscape that charged MicroSoft with anti-trust violations. Just recently Time-Warner ( a fairly well known front for CIA conrolled interests ) purchased Netscape and then even more recently AOL gobbled up Time-Warner making AOL even larger than Micro-Soft. While all this was going on the suit brought against MicroSoft was descreetly thrown out of court. ( However I understand that they are still going after "poor old Bill" )

Just as a special interest here it is also a well known fact that all government offices use AOL and also only use MAC computers leaving MicroSoft and Windows to the fools like us. It would be a simple matter I'm sure to set up a spyware network leading directly to the pentagon or the CIA.

Trust me when I tell you that we are being watched and it is getting worse, much worse. The thing that disturbs me about the people I discuss this with is that they say "even if this is true , what can I do ? I have nothing to hide, so let them read my e-mails. I don't care."

Whatever happened to the old Post Office charge of tampering with the US mail. (Even though we know this was ignored for many years ). I grow alarmed that people do not see what is slowly ( or ever increasingly quickly ) happening to our civil liberties. Do they not realize that this is EXACTLY HOW IT STARTED IN NAZI GERMANY !

The war on Terrorism is a joke, a smokescreen, a sham, a charade. It is inteneded to allow a globization of our money, our resources and and thoughts. One thought, one mind, one duty. HEIL TO THE HOMELAND (COMMITTEE) !!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE !!!!
