The Wild Frontier Of Cyber Space Spills Over Into The Court Rooms Of The Physical World.

Cyber space is truly a wild frontier filled with battles fought daily on many different levels. However, there is one battle which has spilled over into the courtrooms of the physical world, involving Internet traffic.

This logo was created for Electronic Frontier Foundation (http://eff.org./cases/jewel). See how the eagle is eagerly listening into Cyber Space, while the claws of the bird hold numerous cables which are linked to a secret room.

In a case known as Jewel v. NSA, Electronic Frontier Foundation is taking on the giants of the United States, on behalf of AT&T clients.

Earlier this year Congress passed legislation giving telecommunication firms immunity from spying lawsuits, causing the case against AT&T to become stalled in the Federal Court. To get past this, EFF opened a second line of attack by personally holding accountable, those who authorized, or have participated for years in a fishing expedition. There has been an ongoing warrantless surveillance dragnet of millions of ordinary Americans' emails. Communications and communication records of Internet Traffic are still being copied and sent to a secret room in San Francisco, controlled by NSA.   

President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Chief of Staff David Addington, former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and others, as well as NSA, are all on the list of those being prosecuted.

How does a government protect itself from a repeat performance of terrorist attacks such as September 11, without being seen to be just plain nosey parkers? Apart from that, can you think of a more boring job, than reading everyone's emails? Could this fishing expeditions have been the birthplace of the use of 'keywords'?

With a Google page rank of 7, Electronic Frontier Foundation is a site well worth keeping an eye on, as this drama continues to unfold. However, having read all this, it's easy to understand why more and more people are getting out of the Rat Race and considering moving to places like the tropical islands of Vanuatu, in the South Pacific.   

Dr Wendy and husband Rick are CEO's of You Me Support Foundation (http://youmesupport.org). They are offering a once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity through Win a Resort. An opportunity you can't afford to miss.
