I recall that the only ISP that refused Carnivore being installed in their systems was EarthLink - then there wasa story that EarthLink was founded by Scientology and they already had deep packet inspection and full traffic filtering/monitoring.

When the AT&T closet fiasco was revealed, it was a short-lived outrage.

The fact that the library of congress has signed a deal archiving all tweets is extremely odd.

The amount of ex-intelligence employees at facebook is just astounding.

The fact that .ir and .us cointelpro agents have built duqu and stux is amazing - the capabilities of those sytems is crazy.

We live in a cyber WWIII - and its largely invisible to 99% of the world.

Earthlink wasn't founded by Scientology. The founder of Earthlink - Sky Dayton - who did not have a controlling interest in the company by the point of the IPO in 1997, was/is a Scientologist. Earthlink was backed by a myriad of capital sources, from traditional VC to people like George Soros; Apple even put $200 million into them.

As I recall reading, there was an article naming a lot of the direct investors of EarthLink; all Scientologists from hollywood: Tom Cruise, Whoopi Goldberg and others...

I don't know where that article is now - but I am sure it may be available online...
