ECHELON is a term associated with a global network of computers that automatically search through millions of intercepted messages for pre-programmed keywords or fax, telex and e-mail addresses. Every word of every message in the frequencies and channels selected at a station is automatically searched. The processors in the network are known as the ECHELON Dictionaries. ECHELON connects all these computers and allows the individual stations to function as distributed elements an integrated system. An ECHELON station's Dictionary contains not only its parent agency's chosen keywords, but also lists for each of the other four agencies in the UKUSA system [NSA, GCHQ, DSD, GCSB and CSE]
Menwith Hill pictured above is the worlds largest monitoring communications station and is situated just outside Harrogate, North Yorkshire, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales in Britain(UK). Its official title is R.A.F Menwith Hill which is misleading since it is actually run by the US National Security Agency(NSA). Menwith Hall is part of the Echelon system of monitoring stations located around the world.
Not only does the NSA monitor all electronic communications including, email, faxes, phone calls through the Echelon system but the U.S government through the FBI(Federal bureau of Investigation) can hear everything that you say, even when your cell phone is turned off. Using your cell phones tracking device authorities can now activate the microphone inside the cell phone allowing them to eavesdrop on any conversation.
In the following video, John Young, creator of the website Cryptome discusses how the Microsoft corporation, and Google store private user information for law enforcement to target sites that they wish to shut down.
The NSA in cooperation with AT&T and other major phone companies have installed secret rooms inside their facilities requiring special NSA approved clearances to enter. In this video Keith Olbermann interviews Mark Klein, an AT&T technician who worked in the Internet room connecting circuits into splitters which were hard-wired into the NSA room. This allowed the NSA to receive a duplicate of every fiber optic signal of all Internet browsing and email going through the AT&T system. Remember next time you browse the Internet, send a fax, email, or make a phone call it is all monitored by our government through the NSA whether it be by your phone company, Microsoft, Google or Echelon.
Another form of computer surveillance, known as TEMPEST, involves reading electromagnetic emanations from computing devices in order to extract data from them at distances of hundreds of meters(per Wikipedia). A test of this surveillance technique is demonstrated in the video below when an operator types on a computer keyboard.
In addition to monitoring all electronic communications, they are now watching you from the sky. In this video we see that Houston area law enforcement and federal Homeland Security(DHS) tried to surreptitiously test a new drone which would be used for remote monitoring of U.S. citizens in the Houston area. Channel 2 also received a report of another drone crashing nearby. The drones are already in use over several American cities, but local law enforcement and DHS do not want you to know.

George Washington, the first President of the United States would turn over in his grave if he knew the American people had so easily accepted tyranny for safety. Another one of our Founding Fathers, Samuel Adams(1722-1803), was known as the "Father of the American Revolution." It was Samuel Adams who instigated the Boston Tea Party, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, called for the first Continental Congress, and served as a member of Congress until 1781. He knew the cost of freedom and liberty and was willing to die to defend them. Will this generation retain the mark of infamy by letting that freedom so dearly paid for slip away?
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."
"All might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they should."
"If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or
give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end
of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to
freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power of man
to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave."

If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving regulate it. If it stops moving subsidize it. If it isn't broken, fix it...
"We seldom know, six weeks in advance, what we are going to do." President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, explaining his administrations deft economic planning.(1)
"I sincerely believe...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816.(2)
"Look, if I want to build a swank mansion with a sweet dome at Monticello with my own dough and roll my own financial dice, so be it. But I'll be damned if I'm going to swipe your wallet to fund my pet political projects. That's theft. That's wrong." Thomas Jefferson. (3)
If only our current politicians felt as Thomas Jefferson did we would not be in the financial mess that we are in today.
