President Clinton has waged an information war against America. Data accumulated inside the White House has taken prisoners, destroyed lives and provided valuable bounty for criminals. The war is designed to limit freedoms and control political opponents.
Recent examples, such as campaigns against Kathleen Willey and Monica Lewinsky, are lurid tips of the White House iceberg. The most fertile ground for information exploited by Clinton is the data stored inside law enforcement computers such as the FBI.
The FBI's NCIC system (National Criminal Information Center) is a network of computers erected by all the states that is tied to a central FBI network. It is the federal law enforcement Internet.
NCIC is a valuable tool to capture real criminals. NCIC was used to identify the vehicle in the New York towers bombing. It was NCIC that tipped Oklahoma police to hold Timothy McVeigh as a possible suspect in the Oklahoma City bombing. NCIC is used to check your status whenever a local police officer pulls you over on the road.
However, this system also has a long history of abuse. It has been used by an ex-police officer to stalk and kill his battered wife. It has been used by drug gangs to identify and murder anti-narcotics undercover agents.
NCIC has also been used for political crimes. Each and every one of the over 900 files held by the Clinton White House started with a check of the FBI NCIC data base. According to the FBI, the White House inquired for information from the FBI on over 22,000 people during 1993 and 1994.
There is open evidence the FBI computers were abused by Clinton. In June 1996, Lisa Wetzl, former White House intern under Craig Livingstone, testified during the Senate hearings that the very first task performed for White House reviews was a NCIC check.
In 1996, Howard Shapiro, then general counsel for the FBI, went to the White House to recover some of the hundreds of files taken by Clinton operatives Craig Livingstone and Anthony Marceca. According Shapiro's deposition there was the following exchange:
"Q. The list of names were in two boxes, is that correct?"
"A. Yes. The -- the documents referred to in the list of names were in two boxes."
"Q. And the third box contained what kind of documents that you determined were not FBI files?"
"A. For instance -- and it would seem to comport with what's on this first page -- various computer runs, various documents. It took us a while, and I'm -- I'm not sure I was ever advised in detail what it was. I was advised that I didn't need to worry about it was because it wasn't FBI information. It was like NCIC computer checks and things like that."
The legal counsel for the FBI had no law enforcement experience. Mr. Shapiro did not know NCIC computer information is FBI property so he left the boxes of computer information at the White House. They have never been recovered.
In August 1996, I received a letter from the Department of Justice, Margaret R. Owens -- unit chief of the Office of Public and Congressional Affairs. Owens wrote: "Unfortunately, the process of dealing with White House requests for file information was not managed as it should have been. You may be assured that all steps necessary to correct the deficiency have been taken and that the FBI will be more vigilant in the future."
However, the Clinton administration has little zeal for being "vigilant." There are no federal laws against government officials who abuse the NCIC system, and President Clinton wants to keep it that way.
Government employees who are caught can be charged with a local misdemeanor at best. In response to this lack-of-teeth in the law, Sen. Gregg, R-NH, proposed legislation in 1997 to make abuse of NCIC data files a felony. Clinton opposed Gregg's bill and had it defeated by Democrats in the Senate.
While giving his political operatives clear fields to run rampant inside federal computer files, Clinton has strived to accumulate more data for abuse. President Clinton made cynical use of the victims from the TWA-800 disaster to propose a whole new series of laws to combat terrorism, including expanding the FBI NCIC system to track the movements of every flying citizen.
According to the FBI and NTSB investigation, the TWA-800 crash was not caused by a terrorist bomb or enemy missile but by a faulty design in the central fuel tank.
The entire Clinton approach to law enforcement has been designed to limit freedom and obtain more power for Federal forces. The "pro" law enforcement stance of the Democrat President silenced left-wing privacy advocates in the Democratic party and drew the applause of big government Republicans.
Privacy advocates and right wing police supporters should learn that President Clinton makes the policy not to fight crime but for pure political power. The only difference between a Communist police state and a Nazi police state is which boot -- right or left -- is on your neck. The Clinton compromise is both boots on your neck.
One way to justify a power grab was to issue studies supporting ideas that are alien to America. For example, the White House hired the Rand Corporation to do a study of transnational terror and information warfare. Somewhere in the study the brains at Rand forgot the Constitution.
The Rand report states, "An important factor is the traditional change in the government's role as one moves from national defense through public safety toward things that represent the public good. Clearly, the government's perceived role in this area will have to be balanced against public perceptions of the loss of civil liberties and the commercial sector's concern about unwarranted limits on its practices and markets."
The word from Rand ... capitalists, conservatives, constitutionalists and privacy lovers beware. Your markets and civil liberties are at risk of being sacrificed in the name of the "public good."
The administration use of propaganda to dehumanize an imaginary domestic enemy of American citizens included issuing lies and fiction to itself. In 1993, the FBI issued a top secret report to President Clinton claiming that mass media computer security software could be used by criminals and terrorists to block federal wiretaps.
The FBI linked every crime imaginable to the need to ban the mass media PC software. The FBI report noted that a child "snuff" film ring was prosecuted using phone wire taps, implying that more children would be murdered on film unless computer security software was banned.
The FBI later told Congress the "snuff" story was false. No such ring existed. The top secret report was a fiction.
The FBI has claimed in public testimony that the Trade Tower bombers were caught using wiretaps of their phone. The fact is the terrorists were caught using an informant and a video camera hooked up inside their bomb factory. No wiretap information was produced at their trial.
The FBI has claimed to Congress that mobster John Gotti was prosecuted with wiretaps. The fact is no wire taps were used in Gotti's trial because he never used the phone for business. The FBI caught Gotti with a radio-microphone bug placed inside his home.
The FBI has sought access to millions of phone lines, claiming a need to expand wire taps against domestic terrorists and criminals. The fact is the FBI has issued on average about a thousand wiretaps a year for the last 10 years. None of the cases taken to prosecution involved violent terrorism crimes.
Meanwhile, the Democrats and the president claim to favor the privacy of the little people -- such as Monica Lewinsky. The White House generated outrage over Linda Tripp and her tapes of Monica are so false as to be laughable. Political Watergate-like break-ins and illegal third party taping of phone calls have become the norm under Clinton.
For example, Democrat Congressman McDermott released a tape of House Speaker Gingrich talking to other Republicans taken from an illegally monitored cellular phone call. The Reno-led Department of Justice has not prosecuted McDermott. With Reno running the show, don't hold your breath waiting.
Nor is the war just between Democrat and Republican. Inner party fist fights are becoming more vicious than the traditional two-party combat. For example, Senator Charles Robb had to dismiss two of his staff for illegally taping the phone calls of Democratic rival Governor Douglas Wilder. The subject of the Wilder phone taps was the hot relationship between the single black governor and a rich white widow.
The victors and the vanquished litter the new information battlefield. Clinton, McDermott and Robb are still in elected office but Gingrich and Wilder are gone. Politicians in the next century who are not electronically literate will find themselves on the back bench or out of office.
The modern world is full of computer tracking systems. Each of us creates an electronic image. You live in various databases or radiowaves in the sky as you move about doing business and living in the modern world. The use of your own electronic emissions against you is a form of oppression. The intent is to deny your freedom and increase the power of a few.
We must choose not to be tagged, tracked and controlled like some horrific animal experiment. We can remain individuals in a collective modern democracy. Law and order can be maintained without having to compromise our liberty. Justice can be done to those who abuse the system.
We can free ourselves and the world or enslave it. Technology can increase liberties and markets but only if we want it to do so. It is up to us to choose the path to tomorrow, electronic freedom or digital slavery.
