There is top level cooperation between the cable companies and the
government as part of a giant surveillance and information-gathering
network. The new range of cable boxes that all cable systems currently
use are employed as a junction 'decoder'. All of these new junction boxes
contain a tiny microphone inside and a black and white fisheye camera
behind the clear plastic on the front, and that the cable has return
channels included into its specification for sending these signals back
to the carrier.

It is possible for the cable companies to tune in to any
house with cable installed and listen in and see what is happening at any
particular time. It has already been used on a limited basis in the US
for detection of drug dealings and talk of tax evasion, without the
user's knowledge, and as a way for the government to "monitor and
track its society's real movements and thoughts". Periodically the
cable companies will give away a "free connection" in a sort of
competition scam to the people they want to target for monitoring.
The second piece of the puzzle is something that many have suspected, and
some killed for discovering. I have a friend who has been in the
telephone and cable business his entire adult life. During a recent
conversation about orgonite and disabling the *mind control function of
cell towers*, he said in a low voice that it was true that if you have
cable TV or cable internet, that the company knows everything that goes
on in your house. Remember Bush mandating that all T.V. go digital
shortly after taking office?
The FCC has designated Feb 17, 2009 as the new date for all TV broadcasts
to permanently switch to a digital signal. I had never seen my friend be
so serious in all the years that I have known him. When he brought the
subject up to his boss, he was told that "You don't know
this"... and "for your own good, forget this
conversation." Cable company's dirty little secret. By the way, my
boss also said that he did not have cable in *his* house!
An acquaintance who is involved with telecommunications recently told me
that the snoops have the ability to listen in ("two-way
interaction" is the way that he put it) through some kind of *Black
Box* in our television sets, via the cable hookups we invited into our
homes. He went on to say that a friend of his working through TV repair
school was advised *NOT* to question the purpose of the "black
box" in the television set that he was training on at the time.
Furthermore, he said that several former college roommates who specialize
in telecommunications of various kinds WILL NOT allow the cable into
their homes for just that reason. Obviously, we are way past George
Orwell's wildest dreams as far as the snoop-tech goes, so my question is
not so much "can they?", but "do they?" Is the black
box already there in my TV, do you suppose? Is the cable set up to carry
reverse signals? If so - who is "controlling" the plug at the
other end?
First, I can confirm this as non-rumor, but as *FACT*. This has been the
case for over a dozen years. The cable-ready set has had this ability
ever since the term "cable-ready" came into being.
I worked on a joint project, between the power company, the phone company
(Southwestern Bell), and the cable-tv company, over eleven years ago. We
discussed the "security options" that were available AT THAT
TIME. (this subject had nothing to do with the joint project, but was
just something that we tossed around for the six months that we were
together -- I made sure that the conversation came up from time to
time).
The electric company had a small unit that would fit into a standard
two-plug wall box that was basically an FM transmitter. This sent a
signal out over the power lines that could be picked up anywhere that
another power line went. In fact, it was one of the "renegades"
in that effort who joined with Radio Shack and started what we now call
"nursery monitors" -- you know, those things that you plug into
the power line that sends a signal to "any other power plug in the
house." Well, mom and dad, it is also sending that signal to EVERY
OTHER power plug on the ENTIRE SYSTEM!
They also had a small fish-eye that replaced the middle screw in the
plug, which could send out a visual signal, but because of its size and
the quality of the FM signal, it was limited to motion detection. These
options were currently in use in some companies in the US, and was
marketed as a security feature in certain countries, mostly in Europe. It
could not be sold in the US, because "if everyone knew the potential
of this device, they would revolt." (this comment came from the
power company man, showing me that they were already aware of this
attitude, and were keeping the possibility quite on purpose).
They (the power companies main holding company) were, at that time,
working on a small computer-like interface that went in your power-meter,
that would allow them to monitor power usage AND CHANGE POWER CONSUMPTION
from a central location. This was needed in order to allow certain places
to be unaffected by "brownouts", we were told -- they could
reduce the amount of electricity that homes used in order to keep
"higher priority" places at full power.
Now, for the cable company. This was frightening to us, even at the time.
The cable company person would not speak to us openly about ANYTHING that
he was going to tell us, but eventually he even SHOWED US HOW SOME OF IT
WORKED! We didn't see all of what he told us about, but enough to believe
what he was saying.
All "cable-ready" TVs have at least 2 components that are not
needed for the television to function properly.
The first is an electronic eye - which you are told is to help 'adjust
the brightness'. The second is the 'cable-ready' unit - which is also
known as the "black box".
What you need to understand is that it isn't necessary to have your
television "ready" to accept the cable signal. My
circa-1979-non-cable-ready unit has no problem with cable reception (when
we had it). All you need is the connector that the cable wire plugs into
and you screw onto the back of the television unit.
Scary Points To Consider:
1. The electronic eye is a "two-way" unit that is sending back
a fairly high-quality picture of what is going on in the room where your
TV is located. The person telling us about this had actually seen some
images from it, and described a level of clarity (remember, this was
around 1983, so it is most likely much better by now) that was
frightening. (his rather crude comment had something to do with him being
able to count the pimples on your butt while you are doing the nasty on
your couch).
2. The speaker is also "two-way". (this is one thing that we
saw - or should I more accurately describe - *heard*).
3. Both are active, "even if the television is turned off"!
Some of them can even remain powered on (with the set unplugged) from the
signal power coming in from the coax cable itself. The ONLY way to
protect yourself is to remove all cable television from your house.
Physically remove the connection to your house from outside and then
remove the cable and other outside connections to your television.
4. The signal from these cable-ready units that is sent out from your
cable-ready television goes out through the antenna connection, so that
even if you disconnect your cable connection to the house, the (then
ungrounded) wire IN the house is transmitting a signal that can be picked
up from some distance away. (this is another thing that we saw -- we
actually went down the alley listening in on conversations going on in
the houses we were passing) I don't know if the visual signal is also
being transmitted, but I KNOW that the audio signal was going out bright
and clear!
There are places in Europe where these services were (and still are)
being offered on a commercial basis. The cable person made comments about
an agreement when the power-company person talked about people not
accepting these things in the US, but said that nobody there had
discussed those issues that openly.
Part of what we were doing in the joint project was taking records from
the three different organizations and verifying their accuracy (part of a
requirement from the Texas Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which had a
person accompany us from time to time). We spent six months riding around
in company trucks, going from place to place, checking on the accuracy of
the records for that place. Because of the requirements of the project,
they used people who were "techies", instead of just
installers, repairmen, etc. All of us were considered to be the experts
in our fields. One week we would be in an electric company truck, one
week in a cable company truck or car, and another week in my phone
company car.
The power company person showed us some of the FM transmitters at one of
the companies while we were there, so I at least saw that piece of
equipment. Now, the power company was not in the business of supplying
the security for this company, they just had the listening devices
installed that interfaces with someone else's unit on-site. The
transmitters, he said, were turned down enough so that the signal didn't
just go out over the entire electrical net.
The cable company guy took us into one of the local cable company central
sites, and programmed in some of the additional options (something that
at the time he said not even the PUC knew about - remember they were
still not even talking about this much within their own ranks) for both
the central unit and the cable-ready television that was in the break
room there. Almost at once, we started to hear noises coming from the
built-in speaker on the control unit that he was working on. Since nobody
was in the break room at the time, he went in and started talking to us
in a whisper. We couldn't hear everything he said, bue we heard enough to
know that it was really working.
He made sure that he disabled everything and removed all of the options
from the menus, etc, that he had added.
Getting back to listening in on the conversations in the houses. We were
in the cable company truck while he was talking about this option. He
pointed out some of the various units and repeaters (something that takes
a signal and boosts it so that it can travel further) when he commented
on the ungrounded cable becoming a radio antenna. I could see how that
could work, but the power company person wanted something more than talk.
So we went behind a rather large apartment complex. The cable person
called in for a listing of registered users and services. These were
compared with what was actually in use (at the central connection for the
building), with the unauthorized services being disconnected (quite a lot
of them, I might add). The cable person then went to the back of the
truck and took out a pole that exteneded quite a ways (perhaps fifteen
feet) with a dense antenna at the end. This got plugged into a box with a
speaker. There was a lot of static and noise and stuff most of the time
that the pole was being passed across the various connections, but every
once in a while, there came through a very clear signal. Noises that were
clearly from various parts of the apartment were being heard -- a baby
crying that sounded fairly far away, like from another room, etc.
We were then told that if the units were truly programmed properly, like
was done at the central office, then each signal "might" be
heard a little better. Also, that if the unit was programmed properly,
that there was some sort of way that they would be (in future tense) able
to put them on separate frequencies, but at that time, it was not
possible. This future time was awaiting the advent of fiber-optic cabling
(then still mostly a theory).
This person, knowing that we were both as technically knowledgeable as
he/she was, WOULD NOT give out more details than that (notice that I have
been trying to keep my descriptions as generic as possible), so I don't
know anything more.
I did try to contact a cable company in one of the towns in Germany that
I had lived in, to see if they were aware of these things and could give
me more details, but was never able to really make them understand what I
was wanting (I don't speak German well enough, and they either did not
understand English enough, or faked that they did not understand what I
wanted).
That's all that I can provide for now. I've called around here, and none
of the cable people will give me an answer, and no matter who I call
(service, cust reps, etc), I am transferred to some glibb, slick-tonged,
public relations type, who tells me that I'm not even in the same solar
system as reality. Not even when I tried to fake it by saying that I was
living here on a temp visa, and wanted the same security features that I
had in Ramstein ...
I can confirm a similar practice within satellite communications
products. I have not been involved with this for several years. But, I
used to work for a company (which no longer exists) that pioneered the
development of commercial use of mobile hand-held 2-way satcom
transceivers. At the time, the hand-held models were prototype and (at
least during the company's "official" existence) were never
completed. The system prior to the hand-held devices were somewhat larger
devices which were typically used on big rig trucks for tracking and
2-way communications between driver and company HQ. Anyway, to the point,
I was for about 3 years within the heart of this entire system. As it was
all a big prototype it was quite open (internally). I was involved to the
link-level of this protocol and discovered that the manufacturer of one
of the transceivers we used had built-in "master" codes that
could be used to activate or deactivate any function of the transceiver
from the manufacturers HQ, since of course, not only the customer and us,
the manufacturers had full access within our system "for diagnostic
and testing purposes".
The bottom line is the transceiver manufacturer had absolute control of
all these devices any time they wanted to use it (of course, so did I,
but I digress). Some of these devices were being used as unmanned
communications devices monitoring and controlling offshore oil rigs,
refrigeration units on trucks, whatever. In one experiment that I was
part of, we even used these devices to download and execute new software
for various computing devices that were connected at the other end.
Meaning computers that controlled whatever, in an unmanned remote
location (wherever) could be reprogrammed and executed via this satcom
transceiver. This was 1991. I'm sure if "they" wanted to fully
develop all of there capabilities, it would be done by now.
The transceiver manufacturer in this case was a Japanese company. The
stated intended use of this technology was to vastly improve air traffic
control (too much "control", if you ask me). When I presented
the complete proof of this capability within the protocol and
demonstrated it, I was simply told "who cares"?
Just another example of what goes on behind and within the scenes. I have
been intentionally vague about certain details for privacy and safety
concerns.

A "LAND of LAWS" Is Where  Everyone
                     Can Utilize American Courts.
                By Jan LightfootLane

While we were hoping for more, as schools and The Eastern Maine
Peace Center, six of us gathered to celebrate Law Day and make the
public aware that even the lower working classes, cannot afford to
have civil legal cases heard and decided upon the Facts.

For just over a half hour on windy May 1st  2007 we held our signs
above fancy stone works in front of the Bangor Federal Building.
This was the first Law Day Celebration `By the Poor themselves'. The
handmade placards sought Justice for the Poor and the underpaid.

Even through the stories of lost children, lost rights would bring a
tear to the most stoic of hearts, Jan said "We have not come here to
only cry-but to find solutions!"  This was the rally shout.  We want
to be heard. If the poorest of the poor are not given their day in
court according to their 6th Constitutional right, they could invoke
their 2nd amendment right.

The only lawyer from Bangor's Pine Tree Lawyer Judd Esty Kendrell,
stopped by and informed us a Gideon law was proposed by the Maine
Bar Association. And that a retiring Maine Supreme Court Judge was
endorsing this civil free lawyer for 1/3 of the need. And the
project was not funded.
He also said we should be "Happy" the establishment finally wanted
to "Protect our rights" and indicated perhaps we should disband and
meekly accept the drips and drabs of handouts from the authorities.
  A cable access person filmed the entire thing except the caser
being filed.

The one TV Station media who came, was told that the courts deny
access to the courts by the poor. This is an untold fact of which
the public must learn.   98% of all cases filed without a lawyer are
dismissed without fact one of the case ever being heard. They are
dismissed upon technical difficulties of improper filing. A day
late, did not bring up the defense in the paperwork. The petitioner
forgot to cross a t'.

This results in Justice being for Sale.  The female citizens of Iraq
are unable to have court cases heard. And silently the same denial
of rights also happens in the USA.  We can not be a "LAND of LAWS"
when America denies fair access to this lands courts for at least
50% of its Citizens.

Contrary to American ideals of freedom, when those who cannot afford
a lawyer are held to a stricter standards of precise filing than a
practicing lawyer.- America is less then free for 50%+ or more, of
its people.

If your family, or yourself cannot afford to lay out a $3,000
retainer- Then You are less than free. This May 1st rally was for
you. When only the "yacht rich" can afford our Constitutional rights
America provides merely the illusion of freedom.  When only ones who
can afford attorneys can have the facts of their cases decided,
America offers but an empty promise of liberty.

The Civil Rights mid 1950' to early 1970's had 5% of the Population
speaking out, joining forces.  They had generous backers. And  the
civil rights movement of 6 decades ago had the Voice of the media.

At the rally the audience was told that the lawyer who augured the
Baker vs, Carr, Voters right case had his case ejected by the
Federal Courts. In 1961 Mr. Charles Rhynes stood before US Justice
Frankfort   of the US Supreme Court and told the respected Jurist
that "the US Supreme court had a record of rejecting jurisdiction
for many cases"

With this gathering, the nonprofit Hospitality House Inc. of Maine,
has officially changed its focus from solely trying to assist one
family at a time, to attacking the Cause of poverty.  Along with the
experts of the United Nation, it calls for civil rights.

Hospitality House Inc., realizes the causes of poverty is loss of
rights.

  As incomes stands now 65% of the American population would have to
choice' to stop paying rent, in order to pay a $750. to $3,000
lawyer retainer to fight for their constitutional rights, or to get
our children back from a spouse or the state.

No mother should be reduced to tears because their abusive father-
who cracked open Moms jaw and back; stole her joint custody two
boys, eight years ago. With the mothers consent Hospitality House
Inc. will attempt to get media focus on the issue.

When us the underpaid routinely have our cases ejected for being one
day late in filing, for being sick for a pretrial hearing, and while
having most lawyers able to reinstate the case. This amounts to
unlawful discrimination against the underpaid.

But need 1% of the Maine and the National population to yell its
time to fix a broken legal system. And its time for the underpaid no
longer to be blamed but to be paid the amount it cost to pay Rent,
medical, food, heating, and other of lives basics-by employers. Its
time, for an untried attitude in America.

Hospitality House Inc. asked many diverse groups as groups working
to eliminate disabilities, poverty and homeless groups.  Groups
working with the youth and the elderly, gay groups, church
organizations to Join forces in this fight. So we call for justice
and fair pay to flow like a rushing brook.

Changing the terminology from the Poor-the Low-income will take the
Blame off those paid an inadequate wage and blame those who pay less
than a full living wage. When everyone can either afford a lawyer or
is respected as much as a lawyer -Freedom will be ours.

  Our rag tag band will only grow in size and power. We will not wait
350 years for the established to grant us our Full Justice. We will
demand Full Justice NOW.

Need Freedom Lawyers to Join us at Hospitality House Inc. in Maine
Lets repair the arrogance of the Court-When judges refuse to
acknowledge New laws they do not like. Or deny Access to the Courts
for peoplemaking Under $75,000 a year.

Dear Washington Post:

              Adequate Access to Justice

It's a mockery that the country exclaiming to love justice seems
prejudiced against the underpaid. It denies access to Courts for
those who make under $75,000 a year. These are people who can not
afford an attorney.

On June 26th 2007 the American Civil Liberties Union will invade
Washington DC 100,000 residents from across the USA calling for the
right of accused, to have trails, to be restored. Charitable groups
serving the poor, as Hospitality House Inc of Maine asks: What about
the constitutional rights silently lost before 911? What happen to
America's founding theory of "equal justice for all?"

.Our Liberty is based upon every citizen even the weakest among us,
being able to bring cases in Our Courts.

If the underpaid are asserting their rights without benefit of a
lawyer, their case will be kicked out with no evidence being heard
upon. It will be summarily dismissed solely on filing
technicalities, long before a trial.

In Maine the legal case which has been filed deals with another
aspect of governmental abuse. But to do so the case must go through
the gauntlet, of technical barriers. Many States case-laws impose an
impossible burden, on those who file without a lawyer. Regular
citizen must be as proficient as a 7 year practicing lawyer. Not
just as good as a fallible just out of law school lawyer.

This is an impossible standard. Even consistently applying an
impossible standard, is Unfair! –It results in Denial of Liberty.

Bootleg justice prevails in 07'-
Who will fight for Real Civil Rights.

                                        by Jan LightfootLane

Restoration of Civil Rights was the theme of June 26th. In
Waterville or Winslow ME., near the Old Winslow Bridge, A big sign
was held in the lunch hour, from 12:J0 or so, to 1:00.  Channel 5
covered the happening. The sign read "Restore Civil Rights to the
Underpaid." It could be a first step in underpaid American Citizens
gaining another aspect of freedom.
The Right to be heard in the courts.

To show Both sides of the issue the news report covered a District
Attorney saying there IS enough Civil legal representation. He is a
criminal prosecutor, How does he know of Civil Rights of the
Underpaid? He is only repeating a comfortable myth.

The  DA said that Main e's legal Aid, covers the need. In 1992 it
was found by a blue ribbon panel, that 73% of the legal need went
unmeant, in those who financially qualified for Pine Tree Legal
Services. That number of unserved cases is UP in 2007.

In the past twenty-five years, Courts through out this land seems,
to delight in streamlining dockets by denying the poor Meaning
Access to our Justice. The Doors of our state and federal Courts are
shut to the Poor.

This is a non-sensible bar, also to those foolish enough to believe
they have a right to bring or defend any legal case with or without
a lawyer.  The case law is a modified of "No person fighting for
their legal rights- without an attorney, should benefit from their
lack of the benefit of lawyers services."

Meaningful Access to this lands Courts, is for each and every case
being decided upon its own merits, the facts of the case.   THIS IS
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR LIBERTY.  Instead this illogical law says
someone filing a cause of action,or defending against a powerful
insurance company should know the number of days they have to sent
forth an rebuttal.  And that complaint, or Brief and affidavits
against summary Judgment or dismissal, to clear the docket Should be
filed in 20 day or whatever.

There is a case law increasingly used in the past two 1/2 decades;
in effect that law says people representing themselves without
attorneys, or Pro-Ses must magically be as well educated in Legal
filing procedures of the Courts, as a mythical non-fallible lawyer.

This means the underpaid must be well read in technicalities of
crossing the I's and dotting the t's.  And those who still believe
what they were taught in Civics classes, who file their legal case,
or defends one, on their own behalf - are tossed out of court with
an early dismissal. This is not the promised justice of the case
being heard then decided.

   This action is to call for restoration of basic civil and human
rights.   Hospitality House Inc, in Maine has spoken out, to say the
system is "Broken". The underpaid, lacks fair use of our courts.

To make this action more then a single dart aimed at the barricade
of injustice Hospitality House Inc. needspeopleand Civil Right, Gay,
Elderly Disabled group to join the effort.  With your help to
purchase time to air radio and TV commericals, Hospitality House
Inc., will inform people that they are less free then in 1980.

The Charitable non-profit will also inform the public of an
extremely important public policy case brought by Jan LightfootLane,
it is about to be tossed without a trial.   In a similar case the US
Maine United Stated District Court, ruled to streamline is docket.
it ruled Jan had no cause of action and no standing. This same
ruling of refusing jurisdiction, has happened in many other Civil
Rights cases-as the 1964 ruling of Baker v Carr, election laws.

....  "in other words, LightfootLane has no standing to complain-
simply that her government is violating the law."    That is
a "Guantanamo bay, or an Iraqic attitude, of
an utterly forceful government".

It's an oppressive idea of government. One against the wishes of the
founding fathers, which strengthens the importance to make the
public aware even before 911 their rights are quietly vanishing.

A Land of the Free, means every no matter how weak or even
objectionable a personality has, each person has right to be heard.
Not simply to have valid cases dismissed, and told to shut-up.

This is not the America I Learnt of in school. We need to end our
silence and expose the reality of lost of right then say NO MORE;
every legal case filed will be heard.

If you want to assist, send cash so Hospitality House Inc. can make
and air a commerical.Write a letter of support of Hospitality House
Inc. send to Hospitality House Inc. PO Box 62 Hinckley ME 04944.

If you want to be heard send a letter or a quick post card saying
You want all cases to be heard, especially you want case number 1:
07-CV- 56 in the Bangor United States Court House to be heard, mail
this to US District Court, PO Box 1007, Bangor ME.04402.

The constitution does not provide any right which we the people are
unwilling to fight for. It provides the means to prevail in fighting
for our human rights.

The US and states Constitution is not self enforcing. Our fore
mother and fathers got off their back sides and fought the
oppressive government of England for our inherent rights.

It is time to remind this government the power rest with the people
who utilize our voice. It remains with you and me me if we peaceful
assert our rights. Now is the time for all underpaid-those whose
income is less then the cost to pay their rent. This is the working
poor and even nurses at $20. an hour.

They cannot afford to miss paying their rent for 2 months to pull
together a $1,400 lawyer retainer fee. This caser-law makes justice
for sale to anyone who can afford a good lawyer. It is far from the
blessing of Liberty. It is Time to speak out. Its time to join our
community leaders, who know poverty and court denial first hand. We
must point out in editorials where our system's broken, and call for
them to be fixed so in practice. So the practice live's up to the
ideal of freedom.
