Robust telephony architectures to support violent revolutions

1 j'aime•308 vues

This document discusses robust telecommunications architectures to support revolutions. It examines the strategic telecommunications requirements for the execution stage of a revolution, which should be timely, secure, verifiable, untraceable, and resistant. It evaluates using text messaging to meet these requirements, finding it does not adequately ensure communications are untraceable or resistant. The document then discusses spycraft techniques like cutouts, dead drops, signals, cover stories, codes and ciphers, and cells that could be used to build a more robust, untraceable network like the secret telephone network created by the Dutch resistance in WWII.

The Southern Manifesto, from the History of the Federal Judiciary, comprises public domain material from the Federal Judicial Center, US Courts. Bush v. Orleans Parish School Board and the Desegregation of New Orleans Schools Historical Documents The Southern Manifesto On March 12, 1956, in response to the Supreme Court’s decisions in Brown v. Board of Education, 101 U.S. Senators and Members of the House of Representatives from the eleven states of the old Confederacy—including the entire Louisiana congressional delegation—signed this “Southern Manifesto.” The manifesto characterized the “unwarranted” Brown decision as a “clear abuse of judicial power.” South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, the presidential candidate of the Dixiecrat Party in 1948, played a major role in drafting the manifesto. [Document Source: U.S. Congress, Congressional Record, 84th Cong., 2d sess., 1956, 102, pt. 4: 4515– 16.] Declaration of Constitutional Principles The unwarranted decision of the Supreme Court in the public school cases is now bearing the fruit always produced when men substitute naked power for established law. The Founding Fathers gave us a Constitution of checks and balances because they realized the inescapable lesson of history that no man or group of men can be safely entrusted with unlimited power. They framed this Constitution with its provisions for change by amendment in order to secure the fundamentals of government against the dangers of temporary popular passion or the personal predilections of public officeholders. We regard the decision of the Supreme Court in the school cases as a clear abuse of judicial power. It climaxes a trend in the Federal judiciary undertaking to legislate, in derogation of the authority of Congress, and to encroach upon the reserved rights of the States and the people. The original Constitution does not mention education. Neither does the 14th amendment nor any other amendment. The debates preceding the submission of the 14th amendment clearly show that there was no intent that it should affect the systems of education maintained by the States. 1 http://www.fjc.gov/history/home.nsf/page/tu_bush_doc_6.html The very Congress which proposed the amendment subsequently provided for segregated schools in the District of Columbia. When the amendment was adopted, in 1868, there were 37 States of the Union. Every one of the 26 States that had any substantial racial differences among its people either approved the operation of segregated schools already in existence or subsequently established such schools by action of the same lawmaking body which considered the 14th amendment. . . . In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, in 1896, the Supreme Court expressly declared that under the 14th amendment no person was denied any of his rights if the States provided separate but equal public facilities. This decision has been followed in many other cases. ...

5/9/16, 1:29 PMEisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation Page 1 of 5http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/ike.htm Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation January 17, 1961 Good evening, my fellow Americans: First, I should like to express my gratitude to the radio and television networks for the opportunity they have given me over the years to bring reports and messages to our nation. My special thanks go to them for the opportunity of addressing you this evening. Three days from now, after a half century of service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor. This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen. Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all. Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agreement on questions of great moment, the wise resolution of which will better shape the future of the nation. My own relations with Congress, which began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the Senate appointed me to West Point, have since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate post- war period, and finally to the mutually interdependent during these past eight years. In this final relationship, the Congress and the Administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the nation well rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the nation should go forward. So my official relationship with Congress ends in a feeling on my part, of gratitude that we have been able to do so much together. We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among great nations. Three of these involved our own country. Despite these holocausts America is today the strongest, the most influential and most productive nation in the world. Understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment. Throughout America's adventure in free government, such basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among peoples and among nations. 5/9/16, 1:29 PMEisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation Page 2 of 5http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/ike.htm A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. Any failure traceable t.

USA Government wiretapping activities is a very controversial issue. Undoubtedly this technology can assist law enforced authority to detect / identify unlawful or hostile activities; however, this task raises severe privacy concerns. In this paper, we have discussed this complex information technology issue of governmental wiretapping and how it effects both public and private liberties. Legislation has had a major impact on the uses and the stigma of wiretapping for the war on terrorism. This paper also analyzes the ethical and legal concerns inherent when discussing the benefits and concerns of wiretapping. The analysis has concluded with the effects of wiretapping laws as they relate to future government actions in their fight against terrorists.

THE ETHICAL DILEMMA OF THE USA GOVERNMENT WIRETAPPING

Zac Darcy

Arevalo 1 Arevalo 2 Kimberly Arevalo Professor Stokes English 1A 5 February 2020Civil Disobedience: The Misunderstanding of Patriotism Human emotions are like fuel to a fire during a protest, it is unlikely that it will ever be completely “peaceful” and more likely lead to violence and chaos. Although freedom of debate and assembly are protected under our First Amendment rights as citizens of the United States. However, so is the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, without the chance of death in the end. In the essay, “Civil Disobedience: Destroyer of Democracy” (1969) Lewis Van Dusen, Jr. urges that civil disobedience threatens democracy’s purpose of order. He emphasizes that reckless shortcut alternatives to the democratic way of petition, debate and assembly will destroy a society that is built on the rule of laws. He explains, “If citizens rely on antidemocratic means of protest, they will help bring about the undemocratic result of an authoritarian or anarchic state” (Van Dusen 3). Unlike Van Dusen, Henry David Thoreau’s essay “Civil Disobedience” (1849) urges citizens to disobey the laws when they do not agree. He asks, “Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, shall we endeavor to amend them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?” (Thoreau 311). Although Thoreau justifies acts of meaningful civil disobedience, Van Dusen has a stronger argument that civil disobedience can create violence, chaos and according to history can destroy a democracy. Both authors wrote during controversial American wars. Thoreau’s essay was written at the end of the Mexican- American War in 1848. He believed the government pursued war without any moral sense, using men as “machines”. Thoreau explains, “The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies” (307). Unlike Van Dusen’s essay which was written during the Vietnam War in 1969, it had no “imperial” advantages or resources for America to obtain or protect. The United States did not seek this war, but had no other choice to join and prevent the spread of communism throughout the world (4). Similarly, both authors agree that a government is a necessity. Thoreau does not deny the benefit of a government that enacts just laws. He admits that American government does provide avenues for change for dissenters but they are too slow and unreliable. However, he is willing to allow a government it’s imperfections, “All machines have their friction; and possibly this does enough good to counterbalance the evil. At any rate, it is a great evil to make a stir about it. But when the friction comes to have its machine, and oppression and robbery are organized, I say let us not have such a machine any longer” (Thoreau 308). Van Dusen emphasizes how crucial a government is to a democracy, how imperative it is to obey the laws and the court procedures to uphold every citizen’s rights. He firmly asserts that man is not ab ...
