In an attempt to clarify who is saying what, and why, I will examine the origins and initial purpose of C18, the role (if any) of alleged state agents within it, and accounts of its current status and purpose. The interpretations examined are those of C18 themselves, the British National Party (BNP) and others on ...

... new genre of 'cyberpunk' fiction. It was ten years ago that establishment liberal David Burnham wrote The Rise of the Computer State with Ford, Rockefeller, and Aspen Institute money. This book ignored microprocessing and limited its nightmarish vision to the dangers posed by Big Brother's mainframes. One chapter covered the threat posed by the National Security Agency (NSA), the largest U.S. intelligence agency with the world's best computers, an agency that is not subjected to any oversight. In the mid-1970s the Senate Intelligence Committee headed by Frank Church warned that 'if not properly controlled,' the NSA's technology 'could be turned against the American people at a great cost to liberty.' For thirty ...

... with the increasing power of the technologies of surveillance being used at Menwith Hill and other centres. It bluntly advises: 'The European Parliament should reject proposals from the United States for making private messages via the global communications network (Internet) accessible to US intelligence agencies.' The report also urges a fundamental review of the involvement of the American NSA (National Security Agency) in Europe, suggesting that their activities be either scaled down, or become more open and accountable. Such concerns have been privately expressed by governments and MEPs since the Cold War, but surveillance has continued to expand. US intelligence activity in Britain has enjoyed a steady growth throughout the past two decades. The ...

It was soon revealed (and confirmed years later in Alvin Snyder's 1995 book, Warriors of Disinformation), that the first official transcript of Soviet air-to-ground communications distributed by our National Security Agency (NSA) had been purged of the Soviet fighter pilot's declaration to his controller, 'Now I will try my cannons [to attract their attention].' Axed also by our NSA, according to Snyder, was the Soviet controller's questioning of pilot, Lt. Col. Gennadiy Osipovich,'... can you determine the [intruder ...

With his NSA sources (he wrote The Puzzle Palace about the NSA), he emphasises the technical difficulties involved in tracking and intercepting people who are using digital communications, and criticises the CIA clandestine services as risk-averse and incompetent. Where Coll is ultimately putting the case for the CIA in the post 9-11 blame game, Bamford's much less detailed account has ...
