Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research| March 2010 | Vol. 1 | Issue 2 | Page 184-192 184 Bryan, R. Conscious Control of an Electron


Key Words: electron, wavefunction collapse, consciousness, laser-induced fluorescence, qi, higher dimensional space-time.

Conscious Control of an Electron
Ronald Bryan*
ABSTRACT
I consider the possibility that the electron, not a human observer, precipitates the collapse of the electron's wavefunction when it is detected. This would seem to endow the electronic wavefunction with an elementary consciousness. If so, then perhaps a human consciousness could interact with the electronic consciousness to flip its spin. I propose an experiment to test this possibility, namely one in which the electron is the single valence electron of a magnesium ion immersed in a 50-gauss magnetic field. A dye laser shines on the ion and is tuned to bring about laser induced fluorescence (LIF) at a wavelength of 280 nm. The LIF is so strong that if the ion were shining in the visible range, it could be seen with the naked eye. Instead it is shining in the near ultra-violet, and a photomultiplier is used to detect the light. If a person can now lower the electron's energy minutely, then this will flip the electron's spin and the LIF will cease. If the person can succeed in flipping the electron's spin once again by raising its energy, then LIF is restored. By initiating LIF for long and short periods, such a person could send a lengthy International Morse Code message which could be read by anyone observing the ion’s output. We would see if a person

House Republicans Gear Up for Politicized Investigation of FBI, DOJ

The Pike Committee was the U.S. House counterpart of the Church Committee of the U.S. Senate. The Congressional committees were part of an effort to push back against the "imperial presidency," an Executive Branch seen as encompassing a national security state with vast, unchecked power at the helm of a superpower.
The most shocking revelations of the committee include Operation MKULTRA involving the drugging and torture of unwitting US citizens as part of human experimentation on mind control; COINTELPRO involving the surveillance and infiltration of American political and civil-rights organizations; Family Jewels, a CIA program ...

Frontline reveals how Hoover’s own secret life left him open to blackmail by the Mafia and offers a startling new explanation why the FBI allowed the mob to operate unchallenged for over two decaes.

Alexander Charns Freedom of Information Act Collection
This collection contains thousands of FBI documents procured by North Carolina lawyer Alexander Charns through the Freedom of Information Act over eight years.  His research reveals the extent of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s secret activity to influence Supreme Court decisions and to discredit non-compliant Supreme Court Justices through wiretaps and disinformation.  In the process Charns filed hundreds of Freedom of Information requests and brought lawsuits against the FBI.  Charns was given special permission to research Justice Abe Fortas’ papers which showed Fortas had been an informer to the FBI and the White House during his tenure which ended in disgrace after an ethics scandal.  Charns' pioneering work was the first to expose this FBI constitutional violation of the separation of powers.
The collection has three linear feet of documents provided by the FBI and from Charns' own correspondence and legal actions to obtain them.  It includes files on Warren Burger, Thurgood Marshall, Lewis Powell, Harry Blackman, Byron White, William Rehnquist and Carolyn Agger, the widow of Justice Fortas.  The documents in this collection were obtained by Mr. Charns after the publication of  Cloak and Gavel : FBI wiretaps, bugs, informers and the Supreme Court (University of Illinois Press) in 1992. The collection provides opportunities to expand upon the findings of Mr. Charns’ book.

Public Relations Spending By Police
Part 1: Scratching the surface on one of the great scandals of our time
I have been wanting to write for a while about the shadowy world of police “public relations” budgets. It is not widely understood how much of what is presented as "news" is carefully curated propaganda that taxpayers fund.
A reporter at a large corporate newspaper asked me last week for my thoughts on police PR budgets, so I decided to write up something quickly. Here in Part 1, I’ll describe some of the basics of police PR budgets and their growth, based on what little we know and using the examples of Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. In Part 2 next time, I’ll analyze some of how these propaganda operations affect what we know and believe about the world and why they are so harmful.
Because the subject of how much money police spend manipulating information (and the lack of general awareness about the fact that they are doing it) is so upsetting, I’ll start with a photo of one of my favorite cats, who is also a small lion and my former roommate. Wally has one functioning eye because someone shot him with a BB gun and our society reproduces and tolerates enormous levels of preventable violence, but he has lots of wisdom.

How the Media Conned the Public into Loving the FBI: Book Review
A review of “Hoover’s FBI and the Fourth Estate: The Campaign to Control the Press and the Bureau’s Image” by Matthew Cecil, University Press of Kansas, 355 pages,
Matthew Cecil, a communications professor at Wichita State University, has resolved a conundrum that’s bedeviled me since 1970, when I was a fledgling investigative reporter.
I had just completed my first interaction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the supposedly crackerjack national law enforcement agency. But the crackerjack part escaped me. My initial experience suggested an agency that produced inaccurate information inefficiently, failed to respect the constitutional liberties of U.S. citizens, and often resorted to intimidation and lies to get their way. Yet many of my journalistic “betters” told me I was misguided.

Boston Marathon Bombing Cover-Up: A Conversation with Michele McPhee
JEFF SCHECHTMAN 04/15/17
For nearly four years, WhoWhatWhy has written repeatedly about the Boston Marathon bombing. In dozens of investigative articles, we have shown how the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) official version of the tumultuous events of April 2013 did not make sense.

Bipartisan Panic: 26 Senators Support Terrible, Dangerous, Unconstitutional ‘KOSA Act’
from the congressional-mass-hysteria dept
Tue, May 2nd 2023 02:42pm - Mike Masnick
Passing blatantly unconstitutional dangerous laws “to protect the children” based on totally unsubstantiated moral panics appears to be part of a bipartisan mass hysteria these days. The Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, is officially back. And, with it, the recognition that over a quarter of the Senate has bought into this dangerous, unconstitutional nonsense:
It’s sponsored by long-term anti-internet Senators Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn, and has a ton of co-sponsors, who seem all too eager to support this kind of nonsense:
The Kids Online Safety Act has been cosponsored by U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Tammy

Encryption keeps us safe. Whether you’re sharing passwords, working on sensitive journalism, obtaining an abortion, or simply don’t want the government rifling through your messages, encryption defends our digital privacy.

But two bills are coming through Congress that would erode encryption and limit freedom of expression on the internet. These bills, EARN IT and STOP CSAM, have a noble goal: to reduce the availability of child sexual abuse material on the internet. But while messaging, social media, and cloud storage companies are already required to take down child sexual abuse material they know is on their platform, EARN IT and STOP CSAM take the law one step further by incentivizing scanning of all our communications. 
While the EARN IT Act attempted to create carveouts for encryption, in practice, the bill undermines encryption by allowing “client-side scanning” - scanning on devices before the message is encrypted. Worse, EARN IT allows states to decide which liability standard to impose against platforms, which means some platforms could be held responsible for material they did not know was on their platform, further incentivizing invasive scanning of all communications. 
Somehow, the STOP CSAM Act is even worse. It creates a Section 230 carveout, adding liability in cases of negligence and recklessness, allowing private parties to sue platforms. The likely result will be proactive censorship of a wide variety of non-child abuse content. (If the past is any indication, much of this censorship will affect LGBTQ creators.) And as with EARN IT, platforms will likely rely on increased scanning of our communications to comply with these laws if passed. With a lower legal threshold than EARN IT, encryption alone could be evidence of negligence if child sexual abuse material is found on a platform.
Tell Congress to vote no on this damaging legislation

I urge you to vote against the STOP CSAM and EARN IT Acts. While well-intentioned, these bills deal serious damage to our privacy. By incentivizing scanning and adding further legal liability for CSAM on platforms, these bills undermine the privacy protections afforded by encryption. Existing law provides mechanisms for the reporting and investigation of CSAM found on platforms. Both STOP CSAM and EARN IT raise platforms’ liability, incentivizing intrusive monitoring of all communications and content stored. Please defend encryption and vote against these damaging bills.

Feds rethink warrantless search stats and – oh look, a huge drop in numbers
119,000 instances of homeland snooping as the power to do so comes under review
Jessica Lyons Hardcastle
Tue 2 May 2023 // 01:56 UTC
Warrantless searches of US residents' communications by the FBI dropped sharply last year – from about 3.4 million in 2021 to 119,383 in 2022, according to Uncle Sam.
But that is still likely tens of thousands more people than should have been caught up in the FBI's domestic surveillance efforts, according to advocates for reform of Section 702 – the legislative instrument that allows warrantless snooping.
The numbers mentioned above were revealed in the annual Office of the Director of National Intelligence report, released at the end of last week. The report came just after Congress held a subcommittee hearing on Section 702 surveillance authority.
Section 702 is a provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and gives US government snoops the authority to surveil Americans

J. Edgar Hoover was gay and was a heavy gambler, says a new PBS documentary that attempts not only to confirm persistent rumors about the longtime FBI director's alleged homosexuality, but also to indict him for failing to nip organized crime in the bud.
"Hoover's personal corruption," says the investigation premiering on "Frontline" tonight (9 p.m., Channels 22 and 67), "corrupted the very mission of the FBI . . . it was while Hoover was director [from 1924 to his death in 1972] that the Mafia was allowed to grow rich and powerful."

Colorado’s Top Court Seems Reluctant To Give Judicial Blessing To ‘Reverse’ Keyword Search Warrants
from the don't-we-have-a-4th-amendment? dept
Mon, May 15th 2023 01:40pm - Tim Cushing
Having figured out the internet is a great place to find things, cops are increasingly relying on warrants that target tech companies in hopes of finding suspects, rather than finding suspects first and working forward from there.
Thanks to the Third Party Doctrine, there’s very little expectation of privacy in what people share with the companies and services they use to interact with the internet. Thanks to sheer novelty, the new law enforcement normal has been difficult to challenge, due to the dearth of precedential case law.
The US Supreme Court has at least set a few guidelines, but they’re easy to avoid or ignore. In untested waters, the first ones to fishing for information are often able to walk away with their outsized hauls. But as warrants targeting search terms or GPS location because more commonplace

Mon, May 15th 2023 10:48am - Tim Cushing
Lots of ideas have been floated by legislators and others in hopes of limiting the distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Very few of these ideas have been good. Most have assumed that the problem is so horrendous any efforts are justified. The problem here is that governments need to actually justify mandated mass privacy invasions, which is something that they almost always can’t do.
It’s even a fraught issue in the private sector. Apple briefly proposed engaging in client-side scanning of users’ devices to detect CSAM and prevent its distribution. This effort was put on hold when pretty much everyone objected to Apple’s proposal, stating the obvious problems it would create — a list that included undermining the security and privacy protections Apple has long used

The morning that the FBI agents heard FBI Director Hoover died at home, they rushed to his home and walked in the door to find his crippled longtime lover, Clyde Tolson (second man in charge of the FBI coincidentally) sitting in a wheel chair who had suffered a stroke previously sobbing.
They quickly searched the whole house of any incriminating evidence that might reveal J Edgar Hoover's homosexuality.
At his office, Hoover kept a secret filing cabinet with surveillance files and photographs of politicians, actors and people in high positions. Black mail was Hoover's skill to become life time director of the FBI
Nixon was president at the time.
Hoover never admitted that the Mafia existed, they had him under their thumb ever since the late 1930's when they mailed him a package showing photographs of him dressed in a negligee, on his knees performing oral sex on some guy.

Bonacci case
On April 4th, I completed a rewrite of this section so that the Bonacci case might be better understood. I used the existing reliable sources to clarify exactly what the suit was about, how it was settled, and what the rationale for settlement was. Here's the rewrite as submitted:
On February 1, 1991, former Nebraska State Senator John DeCamp filed a civil suit on behalf of Paul Bonacci. The suit named Lawrence King, the Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha, the Omaha World-Herald, retired Omaha World-Herald publisher Harold W. Andersen, the Omaha School District, former Omaha Police Chief Robert Wadham, and others. The Bonacci suit alleged that King and the other named defendants had forced Bonacci to participate in a child-prostitution ring that involved participation in satanic rituals and orgies with other boys and girls. Bonacci claimed that the defendants abused him sexually, or were responsible for abusing him, causing him permanent harm.
Senior U.S. District Judge Warren Urbom of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska in Omaha removed the diocese from the lawsuit, ruling that the archdiocese could not be expected to "know what individual priests had been doing" in Boys Town, and an appeal against the removal failed. The other named defendants were cleared, leaving only King to stand trial.[13]
At the time of the civil trial, King was still serving three consecutive 5-year sentences in federal prison following his 1991 criminal conviction on multiple charges of embezzling funds from Omaha's failed Franklin Community Federal Credit Union. King was served a court summons, however he never responded to Bonacci's allegations. Judge Urbom said, "There is no indication he (King) wanted to dispute this."
On February 4, 1999, Judge Urbom awarded Bonacci a default judgment of $800,000 in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages in the civil action against King. The judge declined to consider the merits of the petitioner's allegations, however he ruled that the failure of King's legal representation to respond to the charges "has made those allegations true as to him." Urbom said he determined the amount of the damages based on Bonacci's allegations that King had sexually abused him and caused him permanent harm.[14][13][15][16]

The FBI is a Masquerade - The Franklin Scandal
“You have to have bricks for brains to take on the FBI in this country, and that’s exactly what you have to do to do this properly.” - John DeCamp, Vietnam War Veteran, Attorney, Author, and former Nebraska State Senator
Scandal.
“In Omaha, the Yorkshire TV Crew discovered the machinations of a vast child trafficking network that provided children to the wealthy and political establishment for molestation and blackmail.”
“Shortly before ‘Conspiracy of Silence’ was to be screened on 'First Tuesday', the Discovery Channel withdrew its support for the film, and to this day the documentary remains ‘unaired’.”
It is important to first know some of the key players.
Lawrence King was at one time heralded as “the fastest rising black star in the Republican party in all of the 80’s."
From the publisher of the book, The Franklin Scandal, "The shut-down of Omaha, Nebraska's Franklin Community Federal Credit Union, raided by federal agencies in November 1988, sent shock waves all the way to Washington, D.C. $40 million was missing. The credit union's manager: Republican Party activist Lawrence E. 'Larry' King, Jr., behind whose rise to fame and riches stood powerful figures in Nebraska politics and business, and in the nation's capital. In the face of opposition from local and state law enforcement, from the FBI, and from the powerful Omaha World-Herald newspaper, a special Franklin committee of the Nebraska Legislature launched its own probe. What looked like a financial swindle, soon exploded into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and ritual murder.”

As the campaign unfolded, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok opened an FBI investigation into the Trump campaign without any evidence of collusion with Moscow, Durham shows.

FBI Ordered to Cough Up Outdated Mafia Docs
ROSE BOUBOUSHIAN /
(CN) - The FBI must give a terminally ill mafia expert the name of a special agent allegedly involved in agency corruption, and other related information, a federal judge ruled.
Forensic analyst Angela Clemente sued the FBI on July 21, 2008, alleging that Special Agent Lindley Devecchio and others helped cover up murders and other violent crimes committed by agency informants, like Colombo family capo Gregory Scarpa.
Clemente has spent the last decade researching the FBI's relationship with Scarpa, aka "The Grim Reaper" or "The Mad Hatter," who served as an FBI informant since 1961.
Devecchio was charged with aiding and abetting four murders in 2006, but the judge dismissed the case after finding that Scarpa's

Linda Schiro doesn't understand how she became the bad guy in a case of an accused FBI agent accused of going bad.
"I told them everything about my personal life ... told them the truth with Lin DeVecchio and then all of a sudden they turn on me, like they just turn on me like I'm the bad person," Schiro said.
FBI supervisor Lindley DeVecchio walked out of a Brooklyn court a free man last week after the Brooklyn DA's office suddenly dropped all murder charges against him.

J. Edgar Hoover liked to say he didn’t hire policemen but investigators. Agents were university graduates, only to be seen in dark suits and ties (hats were required when outside). Until 1934, they weren’t allowed to carry guns. ‘I want the public to look upon the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice as a group of gentlemen,’ he said in a magazine interview.

THE TERROR FACTORY
Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism
Trevor Aaronson
“Compelling, shocking, and gritty with intrigue.” –Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A real eye-opener that questions how well the country’s security is being protected.”–

“This is investigative reporting at its best. For the first time, a documented investigation into the domestic terrorism program is available to the general public. And the story this dogged reporter tells has been garnering growing attention. Is it possible that we have in fact created the very threat we fear? Are we in danger of destroying the fabric of our freedom in our panic to preserve it? Read Aaronson’s ground breaking report and make up your own mind.”–Lowell Bergman, Pulitzer Prize-winning Professor of Investigative Reporting
“A disturbing window into America’s war on terror. In story after story, Aaronson reveals in detail how the FBI and its informants are creating crime rather than solving it. This is an important piece of journalism.”—Alexandra Natapoff, author, Snitching: Criminal Informants and the Erosion of American Justice
“The Terror Factoryis a damning exposé of how the government’s front line against terrorism has become a network of snitches at the end of their ropes, and FBI agents desperate to thwart a terrorist plot even if it means creating one.”–Will Potter, author, Green is the New Red: An Insider’s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege
“Aaronson explains just how misguided and often deceptive FBI terrorism sting operations have become. In case after case, he demonstrates how the money being spent is more about producing theater than about federal agents arresting suspected terrorists.”–James J. Wedick, former FBI Supervisory Agent

A Ton Of Folks Don’t Know What ‘Right To Repair’ Is, But Strongly Support It Once They Do

In just the last five years, the “right to repair” movement has shifted from nerdy niche to the mainstream, thanks in part to significant support from the Biden FTC and efforts in states like Minnesota and New York to pass new right to repair laws, making it easier and less expensive for consumers and independent repair

So much of what is considered [cough] bulletproof evidence in criminal cases is nothing more than pseudoscience dressed in a lab coat. For years, prosecutors have presented science-y sounding “evidence” derived from lab techniques that had never undergone any sort of peer review or blind testing. The government — especially the DOJ — has also allowed its hand-selected “experts” to vastly overstate the veracity of their findings.
But almost everything considered infallible has proven extremely fallible when subjected to rigorous examination by zealous defense attorneys and, more importantly, courts willing to actually question the things said to them by law enforcement.
It’s the questioning that matters. When courts do it, precedent is created

Earlier this year the White House put out a document articulating a National Cybersecurity Strategy. It articulates five “pillars,” or high-level focus areas where the government should concentrate its efforts to strengthen the nation’s resilience and defense against cyberattacks: (1) Defend Critical Infrastructure, (2) Disrupt and Dismantle Threat Actors, (3) Shape Market Forces to Drive Security and Resilience, (4) Invest in a Resilient Future, and (5) Forge International Partnerships to Pursue Shared Goals. Each pillar also includes several sub-priorities and objectives as well.

A worthless piece of pseudo-research on physicians spreading misinformation online was carried out by 2 young women with BS degrees and supervised by an MD, PhD professor at the University of Massachusetts. It wound up in a top journal (JAMA Network) on August 15—but no one seems to know how it could have possibly gotten there. And the ‘study’ claims there was no outside funding. So who paid for it?
I was quoted last week in The Defender about this article.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defe ... formation/
The JAMA paper has actually garnered quite a bit of press. The methodology seems to be random (“mixed methods study” is what the authors call it). The 2 young first authors trolled social media to collect a list of 52 doctors who provided alternative COVID narratives, and misinformation was DEFINED by any disagreement with the CDC.
I am writing about this because there is an extraordinary, tragic and infuriating backstory to this article that I was not aware of until now.

First Lawsuit Filed Over Raid Of Small Town Kansas Newspaper

Shocking the conscience. That’s the legal term for government actions that are so far from acceptable no one, not even cop-friendly courts, can deem them acceptable.
A small Kansas PD — the one presiding over the town of Marion — managed to shock the national conscience by raiding the office of the Marion County Record, along with the local paper’s co-owner’s home. The co-owner, 98-year-old Joan Meyer, died the day after protesting the presence of multiple officers in her home during this string of raids that also swept up the vice-mayor of the town of 1,900.
The alleged criminal acts didn’t seem to be supported by much in the way of probable cause. Someone (apparently the estranged ex-husband) supplied information to the small paper about business

NYPD’s New Labor Day Tradition Involves Drone Surveillance Of People’s Private Parties And Property

Tue, Sep 5th 2023 08:07pm - Tim Cushing
Never let it be said the NYPD doesn’t know how to have a good time. The question remains as to whether it’s possible for the NYPD to allow others to have a good time.
The NYPD has always been in the business of acquiring the latest in law enforcement tech. The arrival of easily affordable drones attracted the NYPD’s acquisition team, which began obtaining these eyes-in-the-sky more than a decade ago when they were still considered to be mostly a military plaything.
The acquisition of drones also attracted the eye of a local artist, who was arrested by the NYPD for satirizing its drone fleet with publicly posted “ads” that suggested the PD was getting into the drone strike business. The NYPD had drones. It did not, however, have a sense of humor. It engaged in a “weeks-long manhunt” for the artist behind the satirical posters that so offended

On the Prospect of Blackmail by the NSA, FBI

Jay Stanley,
Senior Policy Analyst,
ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project

October 15, 2013

Sometimes when I hear public officials speaking out in defense of NSA spying, I can’t help thinking, even if just for a moment, “what if the NSA has something on that person and that’s why he or she is saying this?”
Of course it’s natural, when people disagree with you, to at least briefly think, “they couldn’t possibly really believe that, there must be some outside power forcing them to take that position.” Mostly I do not believe that anything like that is now going on.
But I cannot be 100% sure, and therein lies the problem. The breadth of the NSA’s newly revealed capabilities makes the emergence of such suspicions in our society inevitable. Especially given that we are far, far away from having the kinds of oversight mechanisms in place that would provide ironclad assurance that these vast powers won’t be abused. And that highlights the highly corrosive nature of allowing the NSA such powers. Everyone has dark suspicions about their political opponents from time to time, and Americans are highly distrustful of government in general. When there is any opening at all for members of the public to suspect that officials from the legislative and judicial branches could be vulnerable to leverage from secretive agencies within the executive branch—and when those officials can even suspect they might be subject to leverage—that is a serious problem for our democracy.
There has already been prominent speculation about this threat. David Sirota explicitly mulled the subject in this (paywalled) piece, as have writers at Firedoglake and TechDirt. Whistleblower Russell Tice has also alleged that while at the agency he saw wiretap information for members of Congress and the judiciary firsthand. Such fears explain why it is considered an especially serious matter any time elected or judicial officials are eavesdropped upon. The New York Times reported in 2009 that some NSA officials had tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant. Members of Congress (and perhaps the judiciary) surely also noted a Washington Post report based on Snowden documents that the NSA had intercepted a “large number” of calls from the Washington DC area code due to a “programming error.”
Dark suspicions about the NSA will also draw powerful support from the historical record. Already a sitting U.S. Senator has invoked the memory of J. Edgar Hoover as a means of expressing misgivings about NSA spying. It can be useful to recall the history with a little detail. Journalist Ronald Kessler describes the former FBI director’s M.O. in his book on Hoover:
“The moment [Hoover] would get something on a senator,” said William Sullivan, who became the number three official in the bureau under Hoover, “he’d send one of the errand boys up and advise the senator that ‘we’re in the course of an investigation, and we by chance happened to come up with this data on your daughter. But we wanted you to know this. We realize you’d want to know it.’ Well, Jesus, what does that tell the senator? From that time on, the senator’s right in his pocket.”
Lawrence J. Heim, who was in the Crime Records Division, confirmed to me that the bureau sent agents to tell members of Congress that Hoover had picked up derogatory information on them.
“He [Hoover] would send someone over on a very confidential basis,” Heim said. As an example, if the Metropolitan Police in Washington had picked up evidence of homosexuality, “he [Hoover] would have him say, ‘This activity is known by the Metropolitan Police Department and some of our informants, and it is in your best interests to know this.’ But nobody has ever claimed to have been blackmailed. You can deduce what you want from that.”
Even in 1945, a month after taking office, President Truman wrote of Hoover’s FBI, “We want no Gestapo or Secret Police. FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex life scandals and plain blackmail.” Two years later he observed, “all Congressmen and Senators are afraid of him.”
It wasn’t just the FBI. In the 1970s, for example, the “intelligence” division of the Chicago Police Department similarly engaged in widespread institutionalized blackmail efforts. “A principal tactic of this operation was the dissemination of file material for the purpose of doing damage to targets held in disfavor,” writes Frank Donner in his chronicle of Cold War-era police repression, Protectors of Privilege. To take just one example: the police carried out intensive surveillance of the personal life of the director of the Community Renewal Society (CRS), a do-good religious organization aimed at improving inner-city life—as well as hundreds of others involved with the group. The reason? Because the organization had “views and goals diametrically opposed to those of the administration of this city.” A columnist quoted an unnamed insider as saying about one target, “They wanted to see if they could get something on him that was dirty… something out of his personal life that would be used to discredit him…. There wasn’t a move he made that they didn’t know about.” Documents later revealed that at least some of these investigations were ordered directly by the mayor’s office.
When a coalition of civic, religious, and community groups in Chicago called the AER started a campaign to uncover and litigate against these practices, police fought back. As Donner writes, Chicago’s police superintendent, testifying in 1978, issued a cry that sounds all-too-familiar to our ears today:
the superintendent charged that the lawsuit had rendered the Chicago Police Department “virtually helpless to protect the city from terrorist activity.” In fact, at the time the charges were made, the [Chicago Police Department’s] generously funded intelligence division was operating eight intelligence squads, including one specializing in terrorism.
Although Chicago under Mayor Richard J. Daley was the worst, Donner shows that these kinds of abuses by “intelligence units” were widespread during the Cold War (and before that, during the labor battles of the early 20th century).
If we allow the NSA to retain the powers it wants, it’s not at all crazy to worry about how those powers could be used now or in the future to grab even more frightening power through blackmail of ostensible overseers. And it doesn’t require crude, explicit blackmail to affect behavior and confer power through personal information; even the vaguest threat or intimation of eavesdropping and exposure can introduce substantial chilling effects, even on those who may think they have “nothing to hide.”
In many ways such fears, although often unspoken, lie at the core of what so many people find objectionable about allowing government agencies such vast eavesdropping powers. The understanding that personal information about people can confer leverage over those people is at the heart of the privacy issue.
And again, even in the absence of any actual malfeasance, suspicion of such is itself a problem.
If there’s a silver lining to this, it’s the fact that (as I wrote about here) when it comes to privacy, good policy often emerges only when politicians and other policymakers start to feel personally threatened by its violation. Maybe as members of Congress and others start to live their lives under the cloud of (even theoretically possible) NSA surveillance, will we see the strong response that is needed.

Alexander Charns Freedom of Information Act Collection
This collection contains thousands of FBI documents procured by North Carolina lawyer Alexander Charns through the Freedom of Information Act over eight years.  His research reveals the extent of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s secret activity to influence Supreme Court decisions and to discredit non-compliant Supreme Court Justices through wiretaps and disinformation.  In the process Charns filed hundreds of Freedom of Information requests and brought lawsuits against the FBI.  Charns was given special permission to research Justice Abe Fortas’ papers which showed Fortas had been an informer to the FBI and the White House during his tenure which ended in disgrace after an ethics scandal.  Charns' pioneering work was the first to expose this FBI constitutional violation of the separation of powers.
The collection has three linear feet of documents provided by the FBI and from Charns' own correspondence and legal actions to obtain them.  It includes files on Warren Burger, Thurgood Marshall, Lewis Powell, Harry Blackman, Byron White, William Rehnquist and Carolyn Agger, the widow of Justice Fortas.  The documents in this collection were obtained by Mr. Charns after the publication of  Cloak and Gavel : FBI wiretaps, bugs, informers and the Supreme Court (University of Illinois Press) in 1992. The collection provides opportunities to expand upon the findings of Mr. Charns’ book.

Last Man tells compelling story of broken system

Last Man Standing: The Tragedy and Triumph of Geronimo Pratt
by Jack Olsen
A few years ago, most people reacted skeptically whenever I started to talk about the latest wrongful-conviction case that had come to my attention. There are too many safeguards in the system for wrongful convictions to occur, my acquaintances said. Police, prosecutors, juries and judges would never send innocent men and women to prison, they said.
Author Jack Olsen has known for a long time that wrongful convictions occur more often than generally acknowledged. In 1991, he published Predator: Rape, Madness and Injustice in Seattle. The book revolved around the wrongful conviction of Steve Titus for rape, and how the doggedness of Seattle Times reporter Paul Henderson led to Titus’ freedom. Predator was the 24th book by Olsen, a Seattle-area writer who turned true-crime stories into an art form. . . .
With Last Man Standing, Olsen returns to the wrongful-conviction theme, at a juncture when it has become accepted as the conventional wisdom. His return to the theme is welcome: Predator was a mighty good book, but Last Man Standing

Israel, Gaza, and the Struggle for Oil
CHARLOTTE DENNETT 12/07/23
Discord in the Middle East is usually presented as a struggle over land, but the underlying factor has always been oil.
The world tends to see the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians as a struggle over land. Charlotte Dennett argues that the search for oil may be an even greater factor. Dennnett has an intensely personal connection with the region. Her father was a counterintelligence officer for the World War II Office of Strategic Services and the Central Intelligence Group, immediate predecessor of the CIA. His mission: protect American interests in Middle Eastern oil. He died in a mysterious plane crash. 
Charlotte Dennett and her husband, Gerard Colby, authored Thy Will be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil (HarperCollins, 1994). Her most recent book is Follow the Pipelines: Uncovering the Mystery of a Lost Spy and the Deadly Politics of the Great Game for Oil (Chelsea Green, paperback 2022). Time magazine describes Dennett as an expert in resource-based politics. What follows is Dennett’s unique perspective on the current situation.

Alexander Charns Freedom of Information Act Collection
Cloak and Gavel
This collection contains thousands of FBI documents procured by North Carolina lawyer Alexander Charns through the Freedom of Information Act over eight years.  His research reveals the extent of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s secret activity to influence Supreme Court decisions and to discredit non-compliant Supreme Court Justices through wiretaps and disinformation.  In the process Charns filed hundreds of Freedom of Information requests and brought lawsuits against the FBI.  Charns was given special permission to research Justice Abe Fortas’ papers which showed Fortas had been an informer to the FBI and the White House during his tenure which ended in disgrace after an ethics scandal.  Charns' pioneering work was the first to expose this FBI constitutional violation of the separation of powers.
The collection has three linear feet of documents provided by the FBI and from Charns' own correspondence and legal actions to obtain them.  It includes files on Warren Burger, Thurgood Marshall, Lewis Powell, Harry Blackman, Byron White, William Rehnquist and Carolyn Agger, the widow of Justice Fortas.  The documents in this collection were obtained by Mr. Charns after the publication of  Cloak and Gavel : FBI wiretaps, bugs, informers and the Supreme Court (University of Illinois Press) in 1992. The collection provides opportunities to expand upon the findings of Mr. Charns’ book.

Friends of the Bureau: Personal Correspondence and the Cultivation of Journalist-Adjuncts by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI
Matthew CecilView all authors and affiliations
Volume 88, Issue 2
https://doi.org/10.1177/107769901108800203
Abstract
Beginning in the mid-1930s and continuing throughout his tenure, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover used staff-written letters to convert his fame and his bureau's authority into a powerful public relations tool. Journalists like The American Magazine's Courtney Ryley Cooper, Fulton Oursler of Reader's Digest, and Jack Carley of the Memphis Commercial Appeal came to believe that they were close confidantes of the iconic FBI director. The relationships built and maintained through personal correspondence provided the FBI with a community of journalist-adjuncts, friends of the bureau who stood ready to promote and defend the FBI in their publications.

https://www.wilsonquarterly.com/quarter ... s-in-media
The FBI correspondence unit took the lead in recruiting new “journalist-adjuncts” to the FBI’s side by engaging potentially friendly reporters in a wide-ranging correspondence. As letters were exchanged, Hoover might offer condolences at the loss of a family member or inquire about his correspondent’s wife—on occasion even maintain a separate correspondence with her—all through the pen of a ghost. Hoover met in person with some of his supposed pen pals, but more often than not letters and information leaks sufficed to give the quarry the impression that he was a member of Hoover’s inner circle. Grateful reporters offered up tips and glowing press mentions of the FBI. “Thank God that a man like J. Edgar Hoover is the head of the FBI,” read one ringing endorsement in The American Magazine in 1955. “He is the greatest bulwark against the insidious Communist menace that is casting a shadow over this great land of ours.”
