> We the monitored have decided to stand up against the very real, very
> intrusive, and ultimately oppressive global surveillance system known as
> Echelon. Echelon is a vast mainframe set up by the New World Disorder in
> order to monitor the world's electronic communications for subversive
> keywords. Every time you send someone an email w ith keywords like
> "revolution" and "hacktivism" [for instance], Echelon's computers make a
> note of it. If you forward emails with regularity with words on Echelon's
> extensive keyword list, you may be marked for human "hands-on" monitoring.
>
> On October 21, 1999 , netizens around the globe are implored to send out
at
> least one email with at least 50 keyword words. You need not be privy to
> knowing exactly what words Echelon uses. It is safe to assume that words
> such as "revolution" and "manifesto" and "revolt" [etc.] will work. Just
be
> sure to sound as subversive as possible. There isn't even any need to
write
> a cohesive paragraph or sentence. Echelon's computers does not understand
> the language anyway. It only knows to look for certain words. By doing
this
> we can at least temporarily jam the global surveillance system.
>
> This day of action will be timed to preceed Stop Police Brutality Day by
one
> day so that emails about actions can be sent out with little scrutiny due
to
> what will already be an enormous workload for Echelon.
>
> Now is a chance for anyone, regardless of computer expertise, to become an
> instant hacktivist - best of all, no software is needed [other than your
> regular email program].
>
> Of course, feel free to conduct such subversiveness any time. The larger
> Echelon's workload, the more free our speech.
>
> After October 1, we ask global netizens to merely stop censoring
themselves
> for fear of spooky scrutiny. By merely deciding to speak in the spirit of
> unabashedly subverting the DOMINANCE paradigm, we will make it quite
> difficult for Echelon to do its job.
