The Fight Against ECHELON

Then again, someone from some un-named agency may bump into you in a public restroom:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt from "Teeth of the Tiger" by Tom Clancy:

Rik, it was nice of you to finally confirm for everybody just where you get your insight into the intelligence services and international politics.

Teeth of the tiger - just take a quick look at this and tell me what category that book comes under, will you?

Well, Mr. M...it's sure to be the comedy hit of the season if they do! I mean from a black-humor, Darwin award standpoint that is.

Can you imagine the de-briefing session?

"Who ordered Mr Manifesto's liquidation? We wasted all this money and resources when we could simply have waited until he finished his latest drinking binge!"

"Yes, sir, but on the bright side, there is one less internet geek in the world... and surely that has to count for something."

"I suppose you're right, but watch it in future! I know the public doesn't think so but we're on a budget! Now, to a real international menace, what've ya got on the A_Unique_Person guy besides that he's a Nazi and terrorism supporter?"

Jeebus H Corbett, I'm going to be a good boy if I risk the men in black coming to visit me and to read me passages from Tom Clancy novels!

Religion and related bullpatties I think it says (and if you disagree, I'll have Interesting Ian explain to you that what I see and what you see may be entirely different).

Seriously though - Tom Clancy? I thought everyone had given up reading his drivel by now. He doesn't even pretend to do any research any more.

You think that's bad. At Camp Gitmo, they read people the titles of Robert Ludlum novels and Len Deighton trilogies- a clear breach of the Geneva convention.

Future Robert Ludlum Titles:
The Brooke Opposition
The Marilyn Mansion
The Banal Title

Future Len Deighton trilogies:
Spy Here, Spy There, Spy Everywhere
Up, Down, Around
Fat, Dumb, Happy

Sadly must agree...I liked his Ryan/Clark books....but this one was not up to standards. I think he's got Stephen King disease. It usually sets in when the name on the book, and not the content of the book is sufficient to generate sales.

ahhh...thread hijack complete! My work here is done!

Glad to help, though I must say Clancy lost me long ago - the idea of Prince Charles weilding an uzi on a moving speedboat was just a little too hard to swallow!

Anyhoo, time for me to head home for the weekend - enjoy the remaining, what, six hours of your working day all you American types!*

* By my calculations, the weekend will never arrive in Australia at all, sorry about that

Whether you know it or not, you were an unwilling participant in my co-ordination of the 13/11 attacks due to fall on an undisclosed date in the future. I had to use a complex code system due to ECHELON.

The fools! Nothing can stop us now! Mwah hah ha haaa!

(Oh, and anyone with a financial stake in the big ferris wheel near the Millenium Dome in London..? Now might be a good time to bail)

American, perhaps you might like to explain how Mr Manifesto and myself (also tempted to prod the ribs of the NSA), might be charged under any US legislation for the crime of reporting "suspicious acts" by telephone?

Have a little think before you answer...

Ummm, just helping out here: kidnapped, Guantanamo, Military Tribunal, gunshot. Does that help?

Why don't ya'all go for it.

A free all-expenses paid holiday to Cuba? Doesn't sound half bad...!

And I can't recall the last time that sort of thing happened in Australia. Usually the spooks sent to do the dirty deed find that it's WAY much better living here, they never complete their mission, and they never go home again.

Hang on, I can remember the last time something like this happened. Early 1950's, and it was some Russians. Only happened once, though, it was foiled by Australian police, and there were no gunshots.

Neh. I'll risk it.
