THE SPIDER SPINS AND EVERMORE INTRICATE WEB

Peoples greatest fear of technology has always been the spectre of George Orwell's '1984' totalitarian state becoming fact, with its prediction of people being branded with bar codes and the ever watchful Big Brother.

But hey it was only a story, right.

The fact is today George Orwell's piece of fiction has become reality in many respects.

The advent of computer technology has moved the cloak and dagger world of yesterday into a realm of hi-tech snooping that even science fiction writers would find hard to believe.

Bar-codes, who needs bar-codes to track people! People can be tracked using their mobile phones / computers / Internet tv's / CCTV / Geo-positioning systems / credit cards and ATM transactions, basically any piece of hardware that interconnects to the communications super highway is a means of tracking an individual, and the more reliant individuals become on computer technology the easier it is to track them.

20 years ago all the government agencies from health to tax in the western and technologically advanced countries of the world, started transferring their paper records to computerised ones.

All these agencies created huge databases relating to the lives of the people contained on it and disposed of large amounts of the then thought of as redundant paper.

"The computer would create the paperless office" was a pivotal statement from all sources connected with the computer industry.

This led to some concerned individuals questioning the security of these databases and the uses the Spider could put them to.

The governments of the US and the UK brought out 'Data Protection Acts' to placate these concerns with the promise that the merging of these databases for the utilisation of prying into personal individuals or groups would not occur.

Well it is happening now anyway.

Groups of people by race / creed / sexually / age / gender and any other distinguishing factors are held on various government databases and on so called Mailing Lists which are sold to financial institutions / direct advertisers etc.

Where do you think all those junk mail people get your details from.

Credit referencing agencies also hold information on all individuals above the age of 18 years old. The information they hold is not always correct, but the information is used by banks and stores when you apply for credit.

Ever been refused credit as a bad risk when you have never owed a penny to anyone in your life?

Well the reason is that you have no credit history. If you have never had credit it is extremely hard to get credit based on the rating system employed by these credit agencies.

The way your bills are paid and the frequencies of payments both early and late, are used to construct a credit profile along with the way your bank account is being managed.

The Spider is driving everyone to pay all their bills electronically and away from using hard currency.

The traceability of hard cash is neigh on impossible, where as the accountability of electronic transactions is controllable, and if you control the money, you control the people.

20 years ago most people were paid in cash and credit cards were for the few.

Nowadays most people are paid by direct transfer into their bank accounts and people being paid by cash is nearly nonexistent, apart from people working in the 'Black Economy' (moonlighters and part time shop employees..etc).

The way people's lives are being controlled today is not by coercion, it is by food and finance.

The developing world is controlled by food aid or the lack of it, supplied by the Western nations.

If the Spider deems a nation unfriendly then no aid is sent.

The Ethiopian famines of the 1970's and 1980's which were widely predicted by the West, are cases in point.

Millions of people were starving and if it wasn't for the concerted efforts of independent aid agencies and individuals bringing the plight of these people to worldwide attention, then it is my belief that the Spider would have let them suffer.The sole reason being that the government of Ethiopia was communist and deemed unfriendly.

Financial control is applied to Third World countries by the repayment of 'Third World Debt'.

In it's simplest form it is the money loaned to a third world country by the West to improve its infrastructure and the interest which these countries have to repay on that loan. Which in some cases is greater than that country's 'Gross National Product'.

The goods and services in the form of medicines and technology to build water purification plants / schools / roads and hospitals is supplied by the West.

The West will not loan money to a unstable government, so the West insists on its own people being in power to protect its financial investment or at least being one of the candidates in a 'free election'.

This scenario was inflicted on Jamaica in the 1970's and resulted in Edward Seaga (rumoured CIA puppet), being pitted against Mr Manley (elected prime minister of Jamaica) in the election campaigns.

Over 900 people were murdered by JLP (Jamaican Labour Party) and PNP (People's National Party) gun gangs.

It was one of the worst blood baths in the history of Jamaica and the aftermath continues to the present day.

This was the birth of the so called 'Yardies'.

Edward Seaga won the election in 1980 and was able to borrow $698 million from the IMF (International Monetary Fund), plus $100 million from the USA which would not have been loaned had Mr Manley's party won the election.

A condition of the loan was that Jamaica accept US military assistance in eradicating the ganja fields, using flame-throwers deployed from helicopters.

"Police in helicopter"

"Bunning Marijuana"

Lyrics from a 1985 song by John Holt called 'Police In Helicopter'

It also insists on the country being able to defend itself from outside interference and to ensure this requirement is met, it is a condition that the country buys weapons to bolster its armed forces to ensure its sovereignty (sic).

These weapons are purchased from the West! The money comes out of the economic aid supplied.

So if money which is intended for humanitian aid is used to buy guns, then there is not much left to buy medicines and food.

The West can demand immediate repayment of all outstanding loans and bankrupt the said country ,because all Third World countries have defaulted on their loans. Based on the intelligence supplied by its agencies (Spider) in relationship to the real or perceived (totally made up by the Spider), threat to the political stability of the said country.

If a country has no hard currency it cannot buy the essential imports it needs like medicines and pay for doctors and teachers. This makes it totally reliant on the West and the Spider has control of a sovereign state and its people.

The Spider not the Western governments in effect has life or death control over millions upon millions of people

There is a program called 'Pretty Good Privacy' which is very good at encrypting your e-mails and securing the content.

The NSA which was part of the process which granted this program certification, would now like it banned because it is having great difficulty in breaking the encryption with the speed it requires due the amount of user only variables.

There are decoding chips which has been developed by the NSA one of which is called 'Clipper'.

'Clipper' has the ability to read encrypted mail in real time and is but one among many electronic scanner chips being used by the Spider.

When Microsoft released 'Windows 98' it included a piece of stealth code called GUID (Global Unique IDentifier) which when the user logged on to the Microsoft web site to register the Windows 98 (which they are required to do to obtain support from Microsoft); uploaded all the software / settings / names and configuration on that users pc to a Microsoft database along with the GUID number. So now Microsoft had the exact pc configuration of anyone who had registered 'Windows 98' allied to a GUID number. The name was not chosen by accident and this is why.

Global means just that, because Microsoft also included in the Stealth code a means by which the GUID number was encoded into any document / spreadsheet / e-mail / image created on that pc. Even though Microsoft only admitted that 'Office '98' documents were encoded. Which meant that say you where asked by a friend who lived on the other side of the world to create for them a database template. You create the template, transfer it to a floppy disk. This disk you send by post to your friend and they load it on to their computer to use it.

They take the completed database to work and it is used by the company that they work for as a client database.

If Microsoft or the Spider gains access to that database they will be able to tell who originally created that database template,on what machine and time it was created and more importantly who created it.

Intel also came up with a similar idea when it released its 'Pentium 3' chip.

It included a 'PSN' (Personal Security Number) encoded into the chip.This also would have done the exact same thing as the 'GUID'. Intel said that the PSN was there as a security aid to track and stop the theft of processor chips.

Both the above features now have patches freely available to disable them.

Oh yes,by the way when both these features were discovered the companies concerned denied that they existed, and it was only under the enormous amount of proof to the contrary that they admitted it.

It makes you wonder who would benefit from being able to track documents this way doesn't it?

I know that there are those among you now asking the question;

"If they knows this about the Web, why have they got a web site?"

Well if you read the opening statement of this site you would have seen that we want it to be a means of education for all, and with the explosion in home based computer users on the web, what better place to post a piece of educational material.

Computers themselves are not at fault it is the shadowy people in the background you have to be worried about, and anyway, now you also know!

To parody one of my own phrases:

DEEP IN THE HEART OF THE WEB, THE SPIDER IS WAITING FOR YOU TO ARRIVE!!!!!!!!!
