France's Le Monde yesterday had a long piece on Echelon which closed with speculation about alleged ex-spies going into commerce around the world as moles and reporting back economic espionage to the agencies which sent them out for this purpose under guise of downsizing, or as with undercover narcs police departments, trained new recruits to go directly into business under cover. The article: http://cryptome.org/echelon040100.htm Any leads on such covert e-commerce types, or journalists, or teachers, or lawyers, or physicists? We got an extraordinary story yesterday from a stranger, involving an ex-CIA federal prisoner, covert business persons, recruits, the Mafia, the IRA, and so on. And another last week about betrayals concerning a novel, very cheap means of chip fabrication, suppression by IBM, NSA treachery, sleazy New York State pols expropriating the patents, suicide, murder, exports to China, threats to US national security, and so on. If we had genuine press credentials we would publish these as breaking news. If we were official spies we would edit them for easy reading and send them to the NSC and the full technical, detailed specs versions out to our buddies in business -- who may be the dual-use authors churning the DTRA data.
