[QUOTE="TenBears, post: 2776425, member: 8789"] Ever since legendary British investigative journalist Duncan Campbell told the world in a 1988 magazine article about ECHELON a massive, automated surveillance dragnet that indiscriminately intercepted phone and Internet data from communications satellites Western intelligence officials have refused to acknowledge that it existed. Despite sporadic continuing press reports, people who complained about the program which, as Campbell disclosed, automatically searched text-based communications using a dictionary of keywords to flag suspicious content were routinely dismissed as conspiracy theorists. The only real conspiracy, it turns out, was a conspiracy of silence among the governments that benefited from the program.
