Big Brother Is the Network
The trend toward network computing could endanger privacy rights, an expert said Friday.
As more and more information is stored on networks and increased
computation is performed on remote servers, the corporations that
control those machines can conduct surreptitious surveillance, said Whit
Diffie, the co-discoverer of modern cryptography.

US Threatens Medical Privacy?
New federal regulations governing the control and use of
medical records will do little to fulfill the Clinton administration’s
promise of protecting medical privacy, say critics, but will instead
move government closer to digitally warehousing medical information on
all Americans, while providing third parties easier access to private medical records.
Critics said the HHS plan would allow a host of
individuals and groups — including some who are currently barred or
legally restricted — to access citizens’ private medical records.
According to the proposal, the recommended standards ultimately would
provide access for health plan providers, hospitals, researchers,
medical students, government agents, law enforcement officials, and
others — with or without the patient’s prior consent.

On August 18, [1999] the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a decision
that erodes consumer control over telephone usage information. The
court ruled that phone companies can sell or give consumer proprietary

frequency of phone calls — to telemarketers without the explicit
permission of customers. The Federal Communications Commission has
announced that it will appeal the decision.

A new proposal to Congress may mean daily psychiatric drug deliveries to your doorstep
Picture this: Every morning, seven days a week a car pulls up in
front of your house, as it has every day for years. Inside that car is a
locked box of containers with powerful psychiatric drugs. An eager
government-paid mental health worker jumps out of the car rings your
doorbell and presents you with your daily prescribed psychiatric drugs.
You are asked to swallow the pills in front of the worker, and drink
water to show that the pills are down. If you swallow, the worker is
running off to the next "dose drop." If you refuse, you face repeated
visits, cajoling, pressure and in some states even the threat of
immediate detention in a locked psychiatric facility.

Collidingwith freedom
"Sustainable Development’ is on a collision course with Sustainable
Freedom. When the two ideas collide, revolution is the result. Should
sustainable development prevail, freedom will be a fond memory. Should
freedom prevail, sustainable development will join the ranks of

litter the road toward human progress.

The great federal land rush
Suddenly, there is an all-out, visible effort to buy out America.
Actually, there is nothing "sudden" about the buy-out; heretofore,
however, it has not been widely publicized, nor promoted from the
president’s bully pulpit. On Jan. 11, Vice President Al Gore announced a
new "Livability Agenda." The next day, both the president and vice
president announced a new "Lands Legacy Initiative." The White House
issued two press statements the same day, and Secretary of Interior
Bruce Babbitt and George Frampton, acting chairman of the Council on
Environmental Quality, staged a press briefing. All this to announce
publicly that the administration is launching a campaign to set up a
permanent billion-dollar- per-year fund, dedicated exclusively to the
purchase of private property.

States Authorized to Track Your Children
Six months later, an amendment was covertly attached to a
bill that allowed for the creation of STATE inoculation databases, in
contrast to the federal database that raised so much opposition. A $400
million federal price tag was attached to pay for the implementation of
the state databases. The measure was approved, and to date twenty-nine
states have fully functioning inoculation databases.

Winning The Victory Through Intimidation
Intimidation is to politics what bullets are to guns,
and everybody in Arkansas owns a gun. That’s why Bill Clinton and his
White House always turn first to threats, bullyragging and intimidation.
Nobody does it better.
Like blackmailers, those bent on intimidation do not
necessarily intend to follow through; the threat is often enough. When
Robert Mulholland, a member of the Democratic National Committee from
California and chief spokesman for his party, threatened to sift through
the personal lives of Republicans and other critics of the president
and spread it around if impeachment proceedings are filed in the House
of Representatives, he probably didn’t mean it. When the White House,
the next day, said the president hadn’t had anything to do with it, the
president didn’t mean it, either. Yesterday the White House watered down
its dissociation from Mr. Mulholland’s project, and he said he would
resume his swim through the septic tank.
