The United States, the European Community, Japan, China, and most of the Pacific Rim countries are all signed into this new program. The new Iridium satellite systems are being forced to create wiretapping friendly technology in order to provide easy access to any electronic or voice communication around the world. Not only do we have our own government spying on us but the governments around the world taking their turn at eavesdropping on all of us. Encryption will not be a safeguard against this snooping. IUR will create a data processing and transmission network that requires the names, addresses, phone numbers of the targets as well as their associates, e-mail addresses, credit card details, PIN numbers, and passwords.
Nothing is secret anymore.
All speech over the telephone, any communication through e-mail and FAX will be monitored and logged into a global system of observation. Pretty soon that television we sit in front of every day will be used as a monitoring device to further expand the surveillance to include our every word and action. This technology has already been developed and is just waiting to be put into place. Eyes and ears are everywhere. Karin Pekarcik is a free-lance writer living in Anaheim, California.
