In the past four years we have been accustomed to receive information on the extent of global signit work that has actually been going on without the knowledge of civil populations, communications infrastructure users and developers and in many cases even governments.

One should also be aware of the fact, that possible ?sister" systems exist in the EU countries, Russia, France and China, although not much is known about them, except what can be gathered from each countries encryption regulations, which in this respect can be taken as an information on each of the countries civil rights and signit polices. We can also assume that Israel possesses strong signit mideast oriented capabilities.
ReadThe following text is an excerpt from a talk given by Subcomandante
Insurgente Marcos to the International Civil Commission of Human Rights
Observation in La Realidad, Chiapas on November 20, 1999. The outline
for the talk was published in Letters 5.1 and 5.2 in November of the
same year, with the titles "Chiapas: the War: 1, Between the Satellite

Ethnocide." Any similarity to the conditions of the current war is
