Reply #116: List of words that trigger Echelon....

[Dunvegan]

...Step right up folks, a Sucker Freeper is born every minute.

Echelon may still be watching *gasp* you too...Echelon does not discriminate...Echelon doesn't take your "loyalty" to the current administration into any consideration at all.

Here's one list of Echelon trigger words.

Have fun: Guess how many of the the following Echelon trigger words in the link below are used over and over at Free Republic on a frequent basis:

Not to mention it's hard to do ANY political analysis piece without using some sub-set combination of "alphabet soup" terms.

And this is an old 2001 list. Just imagine the "NEW and Improved Word List!"

I've discounted Echelon for some time as possibly being far too cumbersome to be worthwhile or effective as a cointelpro elint/sigint tool. And as a national security tool, it probably still is. The filtering of terrabytes of data is one thing...the time and effort and analyst-hours of human analysis is another.

But as an "enemies list" tool, Echelon-lite could work just fine.

There may be some Frankenstein version of Echelon (especially one that automates the drawing of relationship flowcharts) that BushCo is now secretly employing that is effective for their purposes, so just as well bring up the word list again.

To show how pervasive and invasive and ineffective this all is my personal example will do. Having worked on government projects as an information security consultant, my resume references to actual clients and topics of speaking engagements contains enough "alphabet soup" to qualify for Echelon.

Helping secure the government and military defense contractors can put me on the list and or relationship flowchart. Link to resume: http://tinyurl.com/7gje5

I've always thought "Ain't that a pip?"
