So NSA wants to find "patterns" can we create some "patterns?"

[rzemanfl]

What if we started posting numbers of various corporate businesses across the country here at DU and then all started calling them after hours when we knew a machine would answer? Wouldn't that create a pattern when calls to 555-555-5555 were up 2,000%? Or DUers could call other DUers and leave the connection open for exactly 5 minutes, then call someone else and leave the connection open for exactly 5 minutes. I have free long distance and probably call 5 or 6 numbers frequently, wouldn't they go nuts at NSA if all of a sudden my number was calling 2 or 3 hundred different numbers? Other suggestions are welcome.

1. I've got some patterns for the NSA

and they are pretty profane

[LuckyLib]

12. Yeah! "I'll give ya your patterns!" [Insert Scalia hand motion here!]

[electropop]

2. circular call chains?

Masses of phone calls happening simultaneously and sequentially, so when drawn on a map, you see a big circle? Kind of a digital crop circle. Like the kook who planted letterbombs to draw a big smileyface on the map. Hmmm, maybe not...

4. forming the peace sign !!

3. What if the patterns of our everyday life triggers some alert?

You're suddenly deemed an 'enemy combatant' with no recourse to protect your liberties whatsoever?

5. Every time I call my brother, I know we both say

key words because we are venting and LOAO . Maybe we should say more key words. And call more often.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. I was thinking about some of the conversations

I have with my folks on a regular basis. Both are liberal Dems from NYC. These calls are full of NSA key words and lot's of other words that aren't very nice.

[this_side_up]

18. heeheeheee not very nice words, huh? :)

Same here. My bro also refers to him as Little Boots.
Today, here, I read someone's post and they also called
him Little Boots. :)

I am so sick of this crap, I cannot even describe how I feel.

6. Make close friends with the Backwash Republicans

Now is the time to make close friends with the Backwash Republicans and to join their organizations.

Leave cryptic messages on the answering machines of random GOP donors.

Establish a web of communications and contacts and associations with the Bushies.

If you are accused of planning or engaging in a violent act, it would be helpful if you were first in close, regular contact with one or more Backwash Republicans who still support Bush and his illegal wiretaps.

Guilty or not, be sure to implicate one of Bush's remaining 31% if/when you're arrested. Those are the names you should give-up under torture. Guilty or not, have names to give the authorities, and make sure those names belong to Bush supporters.

7. hehehe. My former nasty ass sister-in-law (both Mr. kt and I hate her)

and my in-laws better watch out. I'd love to give them up! :evilgrin:

[WobbliesUnite]

8. I wouldn't do that

Having the FBI knock on your door and leave you a voice mail message and then getting a "letter" from a US Attorney can really ruin one's day.

[rzemanfl]

17. What crime would this be? Intentional mindfucking? Traitorous

waste of bandwith? I'm at a loss...

[this_side_up]

20. I am dying, albeit slowly, so the guvmint doesn't bother me.

Those of us who don't have a whole lot of time left should get on the phone! I shall call bro Friday. Piss
on these turd fuckers.

9. Here's my other suggestion.

Turn off the computer and call your local Democratic Party headquarters, and ask them what you can do for them to get more Democrats elected in 2006.

If you're in Illinois, check out http://www.illinoisdemnet.org for opportunities to get involved. I'm hoping there are similar volunteer organizations in other states, or you could try http://www.democracyforamerica.com or http://www.moveon.org for starters.

Playing pranks on the NSA won't get them to stop collecting data on U.S. citizens. Changing who's in charge could.

[Ian David]

10. Oh, just wait until the Democrats mine all that data in 2008!

We'll be able to tie Abramoff, Ney, Cunningham, Bush, Reed, Robertson, Falwell, Cheney, Gannon, Libby... all of those crooks to everything they've ever done wrong.

Thank you Meester Boosh! I like yoo!

[LoZoccolo]

13. President Hillary Clinton and Vice President Janet Reno!

Eight words that will turn any Republican against wiretapping and data mining!

[htuttle]

11. Ever played the card game 'Illuminati'?

Let's get a couple of hundred calls between the head of the Boy Scouts and satellite phones in Yemen. A few hundred more calls between the American Library Association's offices and Putin's private number in Moscow. And a few score conference calls between North Korea and the National Association of Catering Executives.

Know any phreakers that still have their Captain Crunch whistles?

[PsychoDad]

15. Call / Email the white house often....

Ask if OBL and / or WMD have been found yet. Then say, "Tell brownie to keep up the good work".

Do this at odd hours...

Then dial the Canadian Consulate in Saudi Arabia tool free at 800-814-0139, Ask if OBL is in Canada yet, etc...

Create some weird patterns. Maybe find international 800 numbers in other "Interesting" Countries.



Peace.

19. Ever hear of REX-84?

[heartofthesiskiyou]

21. No... wha....... what

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. (Hint: Google it)

Unfortunately, none of the entries that Google came up with mention whether or not lemon chicken will be served. Agent 634-5789 clear...

[heartofthesiskiyou]

25. oh yea

I remember that was one the the infamous Reagan executive orders that were classified. It freaked the conservatives out when it became public and his own party caused it to be pulled. Those were different conservatives in those days, they used to like the constitution.

26. Here's The Supporting Information The Poster Must've Forgotten To Put.

snip

Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was a plan by the United States federal government to test their ability to detain large numbers of American citizens in case of massive civil unrest or national emergency. Exercises similar to Rex 84 happen periodically. From 1967 to 1971 the FBI kept a list of persons to be rounded up as subversive, dubbed the "ADEX" list. (Donner, Age p. 166.)

According to scholar Diana Reynolds:

The Rex-84 Alpha Explan (Readiness Exercise 1984, Exercise Plan), indicates that FEMA in association with 34 other federal civil departments and agencies conducted a civil readiness exercise during April 5-13, 1984. It was conducted in coordination and simultaneously with a Joint Chiefs exercise, Night Train 84, a worldwide military command post exercise (including Continental U.S. Forces or CONUS) based on multi-emergency scenarios operating both abroad and at home. In the combined exercise, Rex-84 Bravo, FEMA and DOD led the other federal agencies and departments, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secret Service, the Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Veterans Administration through a gaming exercise to test military assistance in civil defense.
The exercise anticipated civil disturbances, major demonstrations and strikes that would affect continuity of government and/or resource mobilization. To fight subversive activities, there was authorization for the military to implement government ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels, the arrest of certain unidentified segments of the population, and the imposition of martial rule. <1>
