REC #1 HATONN

FRI., DEC. 1, 1989 8:00 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 107

FRI., DEC. 1, 1989

Hatonn present in the light of radiance. I come this morning to calm my scribe prior to moving forward with the privacy journal. You ones may include it in the journal if you choose to leave it as is, or subtract. I believe, however, this message should go forth to all ones who will ever read a journal from this source.

In responding to Dharma's queries I must refer, but not by name, to written material just having come into her consciousness which all but shuts down our work.

I do not discourage this information for it gives me a most opportune opening to remind you ones of things said long prior to this and further, to allow him/her to keep moving ahead. You ones get this scribe shut off and you are going to be in most grave circumstances for THIS IS THE ROUTE OF YOUR MOST USEFUL INFORMATION NO MATTER WHAT YOU WISH TO BELIEVE. This is not the only source and do not misunderstand my statement! It is our desire that most of you NEVER EVEN KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS--NEVER! UNDERSTAND ME WELL--HIS/HER VERY LIFE IS IN THE BALANCE.

In the Phoenix Journals truth is being brought forth on about every subject which impacts you to the greatest extent. You will find yourselves clutching unto your favorite subject and dissecting it with a microscope. I have no objec­tion whatsoever to your doing that. However, you will keep some things clearly in mind as you do so. I CARE NOT IF ONES DISAGREE WITH THESE JOURNALS--BUT REMEMBER, WE KNOW MORE THAN DO YOU! WE ARE CURSED IF WE BRING YOU NOTHING "NEW" AND ALSO DISCOUNTED IF WE BRING YOU SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY "HEARD". I CARE NOT WHICH OR WHAT ANY ONE OF YOU BELIEVES. MY INTENT IS TO GET THE WORD OF TRUTH TO YOU ONES THAT IN THE ENDING YOU CAN HAVE AMPLE INFOR­MATION UPON WHICH TO BASE YOUR DIVINE DECISIONS. WE HAVE A MASSIVE JOB TO ACCOMPLISH, BEYOND THAT WHICH ANY OF YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE. TAKE THE INFORMATION OR LEAVE IT!!

I will clarify some things which are being again misunderstood from our writ­ings for ones are getting the information in bits and pieces with no background. Well, this is not a center for entertainment nor literary genius--this is a resource being made available to those who wish to partake.

Quote from a letter, a copy of which was received in this place yesterday: "First, I now know who Stephen King's Guides are, those papers could bring terror into almost any soul and they have a grave sense of, if you believe this there is no hope whatsoever so why bother, I do not in any way know this to be true it simply is not the case". This was placed within a letter which has made its way back to this source--it was not directed to anyone at this locale. It was within subject matter pertaining to me, Hatonn, and therefore I will respond for the benefit of my directly connected workers.

This is the very type of discounting of your work of which I have warned you. Ones, in their attempt to appear so very knowledgeable make statements of which they know nothing and you can see the tinge of gray all over it. If you would lump Hatonn with any guides of anyone you are in error and obviously do not recognize my personage--which also means you might check out your own guides.

I am going to tell you once more WHO I AM AND YOU DO WITH IT THAT WHICH YOU PLEASE, BUT I DO SUGGEST YOU PAY ATTENTION. IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. "WORD" IN ITS ORIGINAL SENSE DOES NOT MEAN VOICE, SOUND, OR SPEECH, IT MEANS THE CREATION.

THE WORD DAWNED . . . THE EIGHTEENTH DYNASTY, EGYPT'S IMPERIAL AGE, HAD BEGUN WITH AHMOSE I, A THEBAN PRINCELING. THUTMOSE III HAD SALVAGED THE GREAT TREA­SURES OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE IN ISRAEL. NOW THE HEART OF ALL MANKIND WAS READY TO RECEIVE THE WORD AS IT DAWNED IN EGYPT AS THE ATON. ATON'S SERVANT ON EARTH WAS TO BE AMUNHOTEP IV, KNOWN TO THE WORLD AS AKHNATON, HAVING HAD HIS NAME CHANGED TO SERVE THE ONE LIGHT--GOD! ATON! BELOVED AKHNATON CAME YOUR WAY MANY, MANY TIMES IN SERVICE TO GOD AND MAN--SOCRATES, PEIER, THE "BIG FISHER­MAN", ETC. AKHNATON WAS NOT THE FIRST MONOTHEIST BUT HE DID BRING THE LIGHT OF THE ONE GOD BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHO HAD STRAYED FROM THE LIGHT AND HAD BASICALLY BECOME FOLLOWERS OF THE SO-CALLED FORCES OF "EVIL". THEY CALLED "SATAN", "AMUN"! AKHNATON CHANGED HIS NAME AND THE NAME AMUN WAS STRUCK OUT OF EVERY TOMB, TEMPLE, AND MONUMENT THROUGHOUT EGYPT. THIS EN­ERGY OF AKHNATON HAS SERVED THE ONE GOD OF LIGHT, ATON, FROM INCEPTION.

THAT ENERGY IS NOW THIS SCRIBE, DHARMA (BRINGER FORTH OF LIFE TRUTH--THE WORD). THIS DISSERTATION IS FOR HER BENE­FIT--THE REST OF YOU, BE HONORED TO SHARE FOR SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH BATTERING OF STONES CAST AT HER TRUTH. FOR HER TRUTH IS ONLY THAT OF MINE OWN.

AKHNATON HAD SEVEN LOVELY DAUGHTERS AND THE SEVEN
MAJOR STARS OF PLEIADES ARE NAMED FOR THEM. I SHALL NOT ENLARGE ON THAT AT THIS TIME, SUFFICE IT TO KNOW YOUR BIRTHRIGHT IS PLEIADES. DO NOT BE QUICK TO THROW AWAY THE MYTHS OF THE CENTURIES FOR WHERE THERE IS MYTH, THERE IS CAUSE FOR MYTH.

AKHNATON BECAME THE CHOSEN MESSENGER OF ATON. HE WAS POISONED BY A PRIEST OF AMUN (SATAN) AND CAME BACK IN THE TIME OF THE CHRISTOS YOU RECOGNIZE AS IMMANUEL (JESUS) AS JUDAS ISCARIOTH (JUDAS ISCARIOT). THIS IS WHY THIS SCRIBE, HAVING BEEN BELOVED OF SANANDA AND POISONED BY ONE JUDA (IHARIOTH) HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO PEN THE WORKS WHICH HAVE CLEARED THE NAME OF ONE JUDAS ISCARIOTH WHO PENNED THE SCROLLS WHICH RESIDE IN PLEIADES AND TRANS­LATED (IN PORTION) BY ISCARIOTH INTO A JOURNAL CALLED AND THEY CALLED HIS NAME IMMANUEL--
I AM SANANDA--dharma.

THIS IS IMPORTANT SO LISTEN UP, PLEASE. IF THE WORLD HAD ACCEPTED THE GREATER LIGHT FROM AKHNATON AND THE MEMBERS OF HIS COMPANY WHICH WERE ALL GOODLY (GOD-LY), EGYPT WOULD HAVE LATER PRODUCED THE GREATEST PHARAOH OF THEM ALL, FOR THE CHRIST-SPIRIT WOULD HAVE INCARNATED AS PHARAOH SANANDA!

WELL THE WORD HAD BEEN PREPARED--THE WORD HAD DAWNED; AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE REVELATION--IT IS NOW AGAIN TIME FOR THE REVELATION!

DURING THIS TIME OF TRANSITION OF A PLANET INTO HER HIGHER BIRTHING I HAVE CHOSEN TO EXPERIENCE AS A FOURTH DIMENSIONAL PERSONAGE THAT I MIGHT BETTER RELATE UNTO MINE PEOPLE--

I AM ATON
* * *

I wish to continue in the quote from the letter above referred to: "Frankly we have all the technology (or damn close to it) to correct just about anything on this planet and I know this from first hand experience. I also have a great deal of faith in the human spirit which is much more willing to embrace change than is given credit for in much of the New Age material, just witness Eastern Eu­rope that's not just a financial strategy! Most of what was said in the papers I've heard many times before so it was not new. I also feel that Hatonn needs a good lesson in writing style, public relations and common sense in presentation as the born again Christians will have a field day with this. I do believe it should be read with a critical eye however taking nothing for granted and they were wrong about the Quake (see my quake meditation!)".

You also have technology--out of your ability to control--to destroy your planet as a whole.

Man shows no probability of change from his headlong path into destruction just as projected by the ancient prophecies.

YOU have no notion whatsoever about what is happening in Eastern Europe!

I have no interest in gaining anything from my writing STYLE.

I shall be most happy to take lessons from the letter writer on public relations for I perceive that is about all he might truly be dedicated unto...and,

As for my common sense--so be it! I have rarely been confronted with an accu­sation of lack of common sense!

Further, you ones DO HAVE AN ANTIDOTE FOR AIDS, CREATED BY THE SAME ONES WHO CREATED THE AIDS VIRUS. THEY ALSO HAVE THE METHOD OF CLEARING UP THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NOT ANY INTENT TO DO SO UNTIL A MINIMUM OF A THIRD OF YOU ONES ARE ANNIHILATED--CHECK IT OUT! WE ARE EFFORTING TO GIVE YOU SOME MEANS OF HEALING THINESELVES FOR THE CURE IS INTENDED, BY YOUR CONTROLLERS, FOR ONLY THE ELITE FEW--AFTER THE ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY "THEY" CHOOSE TO ANNIHILATE ARE ANNIHILATED.

YOU LITTLE CHELAS HAD BEST WAKE UP AND, PROVERBIALLY, SMELL THE COFFEE COOKING!

We have no popularity contest running herein. This scribe is to remain forever anonymous if at all possible to accomplish a thing of that magnitude on your placement. It is fine, for the ones who know who he/she is should simply enjoy the association and allow safety and security. He/she is weakened physically by all the bombardments and resuscitations. There are times when you have an an­gry God and you approach it now.

Further quote: "I'm also enclosing some material that was published by Lazaris on UFOs which handled the subject very well indeed! With this is------ ------'s modest catalogue of------ ------'s audio tapes (she has video tapes, books and audio tapes available, this is my favorite channel and I feel a far more constructive resource in presentation of major changes and I suggest you and------carry her material, it would sell very well indeed and provide a balance that is necessary to include".

I am not interested in "handling" the issue of UFOs--you will meet your brethren in the UFOs soon enough.

Neither are we in the literary business--our efforts are to get the information for a grave and seriously troubled world in transition out to you ones in the most rapid and responsible manner possible. Those who bear greed within their be­ings and desire to acquire for worldly gain and not for the furtherment of his fellow-man shall be ultimately excluded from participation--YOU ONES ARE RIGHT NOW UNDER THE MICROSCOPE TO ALLOW YOU TO MAKE YOUR CHOICES--YE WHO ARE INVOLVED WITH THE CIRCUM­STANCES COVERED IN THESE JOURNALS.

FURTHER, AS REFERENCE TO THE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS--THERE ARE SO FEW "CHRISTIANS" THAT IT SICKENS ME TO MY CENTRAL BEING WHAT YE HAVE DONE UNTO MINE PERFECTION. PUBLIC RELATIONS INDEED! I AM JUST--NOT IN PUBLIC RELA­TIONS. YE SHALL HEAR AND HEED MINE CALL OR YE SHALL NOT. YE SHALL COME HOME THROUGH THE LIGHTED PATH OR YE SHALL BE PUT INTO PLACEMENT ELSEWHERE THAN THE REALMS OF TOTAL LIGHT. THIS PLANET SHALL BE CLEARED FOR HER EVOLUTION AND BIRTHING IN NEW STATURE--YOU OF THE CRE­ATIONS ARE NOT NECESSARY TO FULFILL HER GLORY!

IF YE DO NOT BELIEVE IN MINE TRUTH--TRY ME! I BELIEVE YOU HAVE ONE ON YOUR PLACE FAMOUS FOR THE WORDS, "MAKE MY DAY!"

THE AUTHOR OF THE REFERENCED LETTER, BY THE WAY, HAS A MAGNIFICENT PORTION AWAITING HIS CLAIM THEREOF--SO BE IT AND MY GREATEST APPRECIATION FOR THE LETTER FOR IT HAS GIVEN ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNE WITH MINE MESSEN­GER IN A MOST INTIMATE MANNER--HE/SHE HAS WORKED LONG, AGAINST ALL ODDS, ALONG WITH MINE TEAM SENT FORTH FOR THIS PURPOSE--IN BLINDNESS BEYOND THAT OF WHICH ALL OTH­ERS MUST FUNCTION.

THE WORDS WILL CONTINUE TO COME FORTH IN A SEQUENCE PROPER AND UNTO ONES INTENDED. BLINDNESS GOES WITH THIS TASK FOR ENLIGHTENMENT WOULD BRING TEMPTATIONS, DAN­GER AND A BARRAGE OF COMPOUNDED HARASSMENT. I HONOR MY ONES INFINITELY!

YOU ONES HAD BETTER STOP TRYING TO DECIDE "WHO" YOU PREFER TO BELIEVE AND WHOSE STORY SITS BEST WITHIN THY GUTS; YOU BETTER GET WITH IT AND PAY ATTENTION FOR THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT IS AT HAND.

I SUGGEST MY BELOVED ONE WHO HAS JUST BEEN PENNING MINE BELOVED NOSTRADAMUS' CONVERSATIONS, PAY UTMOST ATTEN­TION FOR THE DARK ENERGIES ARE AT THY DOORSTEP FOR THEY HAVE SEEN THE TRUTH AND THEY ARE AT THE DISCREDITING THEREOF. BE OF UTMOST CAUTION AND G.G., PLEASE SEE THAT THIS INFORMATION REACHES D.C.

THE REST OF YOU BETTER RUN TO YOUR NEAREST SOURCE AND GET THIS WORK [VOL. I] FOR IT IS VALID AND "LAST-DITCH" EF­FORTS ARE COMING FORTH TO AWAKEN YOU. ALL THE GREAT PROPHETS ARE COME FORTH NOW TO BE BRINGING YOU TRUTH AND CLARIFYING THEIR ORIGINAL INTENT OF COMMUNICATIONS--YOU BE ITER BE PAYING ATTENTION.

THE SO-CALLED "CHRISTIANS" OF YOUR PLACE SICKEN ME AND DISHONOR THE WONDROUSLY PURE PERFECTION SENT FORTH TO SHOW YOU THE WAY--WELL, HE IS BACK ALSO AND A LOT OF DOORSTEP SWEEPING IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE. TRUTH IS TRUTH AND THERE IS NO PLACE BUILT WITHIN THESE TIMES FOR LIES TO ASSURE A BETTER PUBLIC RELATIONS IMAGE.

YOU ONES SEEM TO REQUIRE EARTHQUAKES, BURNING BUSHES AND EARTH DEATH AND PHENOMENA FROM THE HEAVENS TO EVEN BLINK THINE EYES--WE SHALL SEE TO THAT WHICH GETS THINE ATTENTION.

FURTHER, BEHOLD A CHILD HAS BEEN SENT UNTO YOU IN PHYSI­CAL FORM--IT BEARS THE NAME OF MYSELF, ATON. YE SHALL SOON REAP AS YE HAVE SOWN--SO BE IT.

ONE ADDITIONAL POINT OF IMPORTANCE: IF YOU ONES THINK US TO BE OF DARKNESS AND RELATED TO EVIL GUIDES--THEN YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT READ SATAN'S DRUMMERS BROUGHT FORTH BY SANANDA. THIS HAS BROUGHT THE GREATEST BOMBARDMENT OF EVIL FORCES UNTO THIS SCRIBE OF ALL TIME--BE YE WARNED THAT SATAN IS ALIVE AND THRIVING IN YOUR WORLD AND YOU HAD BETTER PAY ATTENTION. THERE IS NO DARKNESS IN THIS PLACE AND IF YOU BELIEVE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EVIL--YOU ARE TO BE PITIED.

IT IS SO--THERE WILL BE FEW WHO PREVAIL BECAUSE YOU AS BRETHREN TOUT YOUR "OPINIONS" AND KEEP THE TRUTH BURIED. SO BE IT FOR IT SHALL BE AS WRITTEN. FURTHER, YE ONES WHO COME FORTH AND PLAY GAMES IN MINE NAME HAD BETTER BE­GIN THY CLEANSING FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND THAT THE EN­TERTAINMENT CEASE AND THE WORK BE BROUGHT FORTH.

I PLACE MINE SEAL UPON THESE WORDS THAT NONE IN THE RECEIVING HEREOF BE IN MISUNDERSTANDING--

I AM ATON

Dharma, go chela, that you can allow your head to get re-screwed onto your neck properly. We are fine and we have much work to be done on the current journal. It is a guide to assist our ones to claim some privacy in a physical world of total chaos. We must sustain a group for service. So be it and Selah-- Au Da Pai Da Cum! Ye shall find peace in the garden with me. So shall it come to pass in thine days upon this placement!

REC #2 HATONN

FRI., DEC. 1, 1989

Hatonn present to continue.

PRIVATE INVESTING

There is very little of private investing in your current situation. The rights of investors to invest money as they see fit, in any investment that they feel appro­priate, has been gradually restricted in a most insidious way since your World War II. When it really got under way was in 1913 when the U.S. instituted an income tax.

Much of this erosion in financial privacy has taken place as a result of the government's continuing war against "money laundering" and the underground economy. Other restrictions would prohibit "discriminatory" investments such as a recent proposal in Congress that would ban U.S. citizens from owning shares of South African stock.

The outstanding invention that destroyed privacy was the withholding program, then the Social Security and Unemployment--all those tid-bits withheld from your income checks.

Then World War II came and along with it came rationing and strict economic controls, a thriving black market developed in ration coupons, gasoline, tires, etc. The economists actually began to include and speak of black markets and the underground economy as a measurable proportion of the Gross National Product.

Following World War II the hundreds of billions of dollars of debt of the U.S. intensified efforts to stop tax evasion. One method for wealthy individuals to evade taxes was by establishing bank accounts outside the U.S. Switzerland, with its strict bank secrecy laws, was particularly favored for this purpose.

A very large thing happened in 1970. The underground economy was booming. Illegal trafficking in narcotics was at an all-time high for that period of time. Organized crime figures, testifying before Congress, repeatedly invoked the "Fifth Amendment" when asked about their income and investments.

Reports from Switzerland showed record deposits in secret Swiss bank accounts, records of which the U.S. government could not obtain. Repeated Treasury in­quiries to Swiss banks regarding the accounts of suspected tax evaders almost always went unanswered. We will refer to these accounts later.

The Nixon Administration lobbied Congress to pass a law that would prohibit U.S. citizens from taking cash out of the U.S. and outlaw foreign bank ac­counts. In addition, the administration requested that Congress require that all cash transactions $1,000 or greater be reported directly to the IRS.

In 1970 Congress responded with the "Financial Recordkeeping, Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act", known today as the Bank Secrecy Act. President Nixon got most but not all, of what he wanted--remember, a lot of your Congressmen utilized these secrecy measures.

The Act was the first federal effort to both register foreign bank accounts and impose currency exchange controls on individual Americans. As such, it was an enormous step backwards in both personal and financial privacy.

BANK SECRECY ACT

Under this Act, U.S. citizens are required to complete an IRS form when they import or export more than $5,000 in cash (Form 4790). Violators risk confis­cation of any funds discovered, plus a fine of up to $500,000 and as much as five years in prison. Is it any wonder that the ingenious people would come up with paper trails instead of cash?

The Act did not prohibit foreign bank accounts, but those larger than $1,000 had to be reported to the IRS. (This limit has since been raised to $10,000.) Violation of this requirement is considered income tax evasion. However, there are many ways to sidestep this regulation also.

No industry has been affected more by the Bank Secrecy Act than U.S. banks. The paperwork burden alone has been enormous. Banks are required to main­tain copies of deposit slips and both sides of checks drawn for more than $100. In addition, they must keep a permanent record of any loan over $5,000. And if a depositor makes a deposit or withdrawal of more than $10,000, the bank is required to notify the Treasury Department. Note this carefully: The House of Representatives in 1988 passed legislation that would reduce this $10,000 re­porting threshold to $3,000. Many banks near the Canadian and Mexican bor­ders already require "voluntary" completion of a Currency Transaction Form for withdrawals of more than $1,000!

The Act also requires banks to record the Social Security number of anyone opening any type of new account. The original legislation provided for the name of anyone refusing to provide their Social Security number to a bank to have their name placed in a special file available for Treasury Department in­spection. An amendment now authorizes banks and other financial institutions to simply deduct a portion of the interest such accounts accrue and send it di­rectly to the IRS.

ABUSES ABOUND

You may not agree with actress Jane Fonda's politics, but how about this? Only a few months after the enactment of the Bank Secrecy Act, the Nixon Administration put to work investigating individuals it considered "enemies". One of these was Jane Fonda, an actress active in supporting peace initiatives to end the Vietnam War.

The FBI found little to incriminate Fonda in her account. But it did find the names of firms whom she patronized and organizations to which she con­tributed. All this information was used to open up new avenues of inquiry.

Government investigators routinely investigated the bank accounts of "left-wing" and "right-wing" organizations, people who advocated "revolutionary" social or political changes--and just about everyone who opposed Richard Nixon--and you thought the McCarthy era was bad! Where have your "freedoms" gone and did you even notice them being gone?

Another victim of the Act was one Daniel Ellsberg, who in June 1971 passed a copy of the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times. The Pentagon Papers contained embarrassing details of the Vietnam conflict. After a consultation with the National Security Agency, the Times deleted passages that could have compromised national security and began publishing excerpts.

President Nixon was furious over the disclosures. He ordered the FBI to inves­tigate Ellsberg's bank accounts. After cancelled checks made payable to a psy­chiatrist were discovered, Nixon authorized a break-in into the psychiatrist's of­fice in search of Ellsberg's records. Then the administration leaked to the press the information that Ellsberg was under the care of a psychiatrist.

Investigation by the Washington Post in 1972 and '73 led to disclosure of re­peated governmental abuses of the Act. In response to these abuses, Congress in 1974 enacted the "Privacy Act" (after all, now all ones could be caught) which requires the consent of individuals before a government agency collects and uses information on them for a different purpose than the information was intended--of course, with the exception of the IRS.

There also is a contradiction to the whole procedure--it was the government in the first place that required all records to be kept so meticulously that any in­formation would be of value. Now they were going to "protect"? Smells, does it not?

The Bank Secrecy Act also authorized the U.S. Customs Service to set up a system to enforce the legislation's foreign exchange control provisions. The Customs Service responded with a computer system known as "TECS"--the Treasury Enforcement Communications System. TECS terminals are now in place at virtually every major port of entry to the U.S. When your name is en­tered into the system, TECS will report: if you are a suspected or a convicted tax evader; whether or not you have arrest records or convictions listed in the FBI's National Crime Information Center data base; if you have been suspected, arrested or convicted for possession or sale of illegal drugs; if you have been suspected, arrested or convicted of smuggling or a similar offense and; if you are currently sought by any law enforcement agency for any criminal or civil offense.

An "expert system" enhancement of the TECS system in 1988 gave it the ability to construct computerized profiles of individuals suspected of money launder­ing, drug smuggling, etc. By answering a few questions at a computer termi­nal, a customs agent can make an almost instantaneous decision whether or not to detain someone who appears to fit the profile provided by the computer. How safe do you feel visiting Mexico or Canada?

Well, little argument comes forth against the "Privacy Act" being absurd and no protection at all.

By the early 1970s, the proliferation of personal data in government data bases had reached an all-time and uncontrolled high. The IRS, FBI, CIA, Department of Defense, National Security Agency and dozens of other federal agencies kept files on U.S. citizens. These agencies had no legal obligation to verify that the data that they maintained was accurate. Nor were they required to disclose to citizens what records were being kept.

The Privacy Act was intended to bring the proliferation of personal data in government data bases under control. Under its provisions, a government agency gathering data on an individual was required to keep a list of disclosures of personal information to other agencies. Citizens were given the authority to examine their files and challenge information they felt to be inaccurate.

Opposed by virtually all government agencies, the Act was at the last minute gutted by a "minor" loophole: "Routine use" of such information or transfers of information would require no notification or consent. Moreover, a huge amount of information with potential "national security" uses was made totally exempt from the Act's provisions.

In the 15 years since the Privacy Act was enacted, it has had little effect in gov­ernment efforts to gather information on individual citizens. In practice, just about any use of personal data by a government agency is considered routine. Test yourself: When was the last time you received a letter from a government agency informing you that information about you had been distributed to an­other agency? I thought not!

The Privacy Act also requires the government to publish an annual census of files containing personal information. However, many files are excluded be­cause they contain information relating to national security. Other files simply aren't counted because of sloppy bookkeeping.

Further, as with Seismic data from the Nevada testing grounds--they will simply tell you they are two years behind in data "printing" and cannot give out the in­formation.

Still, the 1977 census showed a staggering total of 4,015,500,000 files on U.S. citizens--more than 16 files for every American man, woman and child. Later census figures showed lower numbers of files kept, and progressively longer list of agencies claiming "exemptions" under the Act.

Another loophole is that the Act applies only to agencies maintaining a "system of records" indexed by a "personal identifier". In practice this means that handwritten or informal records kept by bureaucrats are totally exempt from any control under the Act. Only computerized data counts. Many agencies have thus encouraged bureaucrats to keep sensitive information out of computer data banks. As a result, "informal" recordkeeping has proliferated since the Act was inacted.

Nor were restrictions placed on government agencies sharing data with state and local jurisdictions. Criminal records, tax records and other sensitive informa­tion have continued to freely change hands without the knowledge or consent of the individuals the records concern.

Finally, no agency was put in charge of enforcing the Privacy Act. As a result, government agencies have been loosely policed in acting on its provisions.

A LITTLE QUIZ!

How many of you remember a man by the name of Lyndon H. LaRouche?

Alright, Mr. LaRouche ran for president against Mr. Bush. Obviously he did not win!

Did any of you see any of his political programs on TV? THEY WERE TO­TALLY ACCURATE, YOU KNOW--OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT? DID YOU VOTE FOR HIM? WHY NOT?

What has happened to Mr. LaRouche since the election? Oh, shame on you for not knowing! HE IS IN PRISON ON TOTALLY FABRICATED CHARGES AND HAS BEEN DENIED ALL SEMBLANCE OF DUE PROCESS OR A FAIR HEARING. OTHERS OF HIS SUPPORTERS ARE ALSO IN PRISON WITH SENTENCES THAT WOULD WITHER COLD BLOODED MASS KILLERS--FOR "MINOR" CAMPAIGN "VIOLATIONS" AS DECIDED BY PUBLIC CRITICS.

YOU ONES MUST OPEN YOUR EYES! IT IS MOST SERIOUS, DEAR ONES.

THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO CROSS THE PLANNED LINES--YOU ARE PEOPLE OF THE LIE WITH LITTLE ESCAPE ROUTE AND YOU ARE DOWN TO THE LAST FLAG!

HOW ABOUT NICE MR. REAGAN'S
WAR ON PRIVACY?

When former President Reagan was elected to office in 1980, he promised to "get the government off the back of Americans". You got exactly that--they switched from your back to all over you. He got exactly the opposite.

I would like to quote a wondrous scientist who came up with what he called "The Law of the Bureaucracy: Whatever the bureaucrats set out to do they will accomplish exactly the opposite"! Look carefully, it works that way every time without any noted exceptions.

One of Reagan's first initiatives was to hire 5,000 new IRS agents, and to accel­erate the IRS' program of "cross matching" tax returns against other data bases which might indicate a taxpayer was "living beyond his means".

Next, the administration began pressuring Congress to adopt legislation giving the government vast new powers to gather, cross-reference and distribute per­sonal data. The first major victory for the administration in this regard was the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA).

TEFRA was an expansion of the Bank Secrecy Act, greatly expanding the power of the IRS and imposing additional reporting requirements on financial institutions. Among other things, TEFRA requires brokerage firms to report most types of investor income to the IRS, including interest, dividends and the gross proceeds from sales, redemptions and exchanges.

The law also requires banks and other financial institutions to withhold 20 per­cent of taxable interest, dividends and other payments if the taxpayer does not provide such institutions with a Social Security number for the purposes of re­porting this income.

From the administration's viewpoint, TEFRA had the desired effect. IRS seizures jumped from 8,848 in 1981 to 22,450 in 1986. The number of IRS levies jumped from 740,103 to more than 1.6 million in the same period. And the IRS budget grew 91 percent in just five years--faster than even the soaring defense budget.

The Reagan Administration also began an unprecedented effort to cross-connect federal data bases to weed out "welfare fraud" and cheating by beneficiaries of federal programs. These efforts culminated in the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984.

This Act authorized the first full-scale effort to link data in various federal gov­ernment and private data bases. Not surprisingly, the key to the system was the Social Security number. In effect, the Act authorized the SSN to serve as a national identification number that could cross-match seemingly unrelated in­formation in dozens of data bases.

Cross-matching was first used by the Department of Health and Human Services to identify individuals involved in welfare fraud and similar offenses. The So­cial Security Administration used the technique to insure that individuals who received disability benefits were actually disabled.

But the uses of the Deficit Reduction Act were hardly limited to efforts to stamp out governmental waste and fraud.

The U.S. Customs Service upgraded its TECS system. And the Secret Service wrote an expert system program that constructs "computer profiles" to identify individuals who might be likely assassins.

But the biggest beneficiary of the Deficit Reduction Act was the Internal Rev­enue Service. Shortly after the Act was enacted, the IRS began creating a "Debtor Master File", compiled by the bloc modeling techniques already de­scribed.

Data were gathered from governmental files, credit bureaus, banks, hospitals, insurance companies and direct marketing companies that construct computer­ized profiles of consumer spending. By 1986, the project was complete.

The Debtor Master File was designed to crack down on individuals who had failed to repay money they had borrowed from the federal government. From an IRS standpoint the project was enormously successful; the file today lists nearly 1,000,000 people who owe money to various government agencies. One of its first uses in 1987 was to deny refunds to individuals who have defaulted on loans from the federal government.

The Deficit Reduction Act also provided funding to assist the states in their own efforts to "compare notes" and identify individuals who fail to pay state taxes. In exchange for IRS access to state computer records, state tax authorities were given direct access to IRS computers.

Oh, dear ones, how many of you realize the barrage of threats and insinuations that bombard you around your tax time? Do you notice the announcements about TAX CHEATERS? They effort at making one who takes his rightful de­ductions into "cheaters" for all the world to accuse. Further, they have their little hot-line where you can call and tattle--worse, if convicted the tattler gets a reward--NOW YOU TELL ME WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WAY THE NAZIS HANDLED IT UNDER HITLER? YOU NOW REWARD AND EXTOL CHILDREN WHO TATTLE ON THEIR PARENTS FOR ACTIONS WITHIN THEIR OWN PERSONAL HOUSEHOLDS. I MAKE NO JUDG­MENT ON THE ACTIVITIES--IT SIMPLY POINTS OUT THAT YOU HAVE DESTROYED YOUR CIVILIZATION! YOU HAVE A GENERA­TION OF ABUSERS AND A GENERATION OF LOST CHILDREN BE­CAUSE THE PARENTS HAVE BECOME TERRIFIED OF THEIR OWN CHILDREN! YOU CONDEMN THE PARENT FOR NOT KEEPING THE LITTLE BRATTY ONES UNDER CONTROL AND THEN YOU PRONOUNCE THEM TO BE ABUSERS IF THEY PUNISH THE CHILD.

OH MY. THE DRUG SCENE!

Could you be thrown in jail for selling bread to an individual with a "reputation" as a drug dealer? Well, you have Congressmen who think you should be, and the intent of the legislation successfully sponsored by Congress­man Bill McCollum (D-FI)--the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986--could net you 20 years in jail and a $500,000 fine for "engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from specific unlawful activity".

Quoting Congressman Bill McCollum: "The corner grocer in a community is aware of the reputation of the local drug trafficker. That person comes to the store and buys five pounds of hamburger. The grocer has to know what he is coming in to buy groceries with what is indeed the money derived from a particular designated crime. I don't have any problem whatsoever holding the gro­cer accountable for money laundering".

Of course, the hamburger/bread buyer would not have to only be a drug dealer for you to land in jail. A few other "specified unlawful activities" under the Act include: theft or bribery of funds provided by any federal program; hostage-taking and violations of the Arms Export Control Act, the Emergency Economic Powers Act or the Trading With the Enemy Act; counterfeiting; embezzlement; smuggling or bank robbery! NOW, I KNOW THAT ALL YOU NICE PEO­PLE READING THIS ARE TOTALLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND CAN EVEN QUOTE THEM AT WILL--TO THE CRIMINAL SUSPECT!

OH, BY THE WAY, "IGNORANCE OF THE HAMBURGER BUYER'S CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IS NO EXCUSE." Section 1957 reads in part:

"The government is not required to prove the defendant knew that the offense from which the criminally derived property was derived was specified unlawful activity".

The only thing that could potentially save you would be that transactions under $10,000 are exempt from provisions of the Act. I knew that you knew that! However, any pattern of transactions totaling $10,000 or more would be en­forceable. So, if over a period of months or years, the drug dealer were to buy groceries totaling $10,000 or more, you would still be found guilty. More­over, proposed revision in the Act would reduce this threshold from $10,000 to $3,000--how many groceries will $3,000 buy at today's exchange rate? Gets more frightening doesn't it?

The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 will, if strictly enforced, break down any semblance of trust--and privacy--that might exist between a businessman and his customer.

Should you as a businessman ask each and every one of your customers to sign a statement certifying that the funds he is paying for your product or service have not been gained through "specified unlawful activities" as defined by Sec­tion 1957 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986?

Court challenges to this law have so far been rejected. It is most probable that it will be held "in reserve" for use in particularly difficult tax evasion cases--and for IRS enemies.

Where, indeed, would the Reagan Administration's war on privacy end?

AGAINST MONEY LAUNDERING

Boy, doesn't just the term "money laundering" conjure up dirty, dirty illegal activity? Money laundering invokes images of jewel-bedecked foreign nationals carrying courier cases full of cash onto private airplanes bound for secret Caribbean tax havens, shadowy businessmen opening crates full of automatic weapons for distribution in your central cities and numbered bank accounts tucked away in foreign countries.

In truth however, money laundering is a much more mundane and insidious ac­tivity. In fact the definition of "money laundering" is any action an individual takes in order to avoid filling out a U.S. government currency reporting form. This might seem a fairly trivial offense, but under the Money Laundering Con­trol Act, violators can be punished by a maximum of 20 years in prison and fines up to $25,000,000. Boy, no wonder there isn't any room left in prisons for criminals who murder, etc.

Money laundering, according to U.S. Customs Service Director William Von Raab, is a "$50 billion industry". The most common money laundering offense is making a series of deposits or withdrawals under $10,000 from a U.S. bank account in order to avoid this threshold for reporting a "currency transaction" under the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970. Other individuals have been prosecuted for failing to declare more than $5,000 in cash when they cross U.S. borders.

By far the largest money laundering case in history involves the Bank of Credit and Commerce, a Luxembourg-based institution that allegedly laundered hun­dreds of millions of dollars on behalf of Colombian drug kingpins. Now isn't that a funny coincidence with the happenings of your news reports these days? Nearly 100 individuals were indicted in late 1988 in the case, and more indict­ments are expected. And Mr. Noriega? Oh, isn't he a thorn in the sides of this administration--HE HAS SIGNED CONTRACTS FOR HIS DRUG ACTIVI­TIES--WITH YOUR GOVERNMENT!

What does money laundering have to do with individual privacy? Surely you are beginning to understand this treachery as it oozes down to you in the private sector of "law-abiding" citizens. That, further, is why I take no responsibility for your actions as we go along here--you must check into it all and consider the alternatives. Naught that I see is against the Laws of Creation and there is no way to keep up with all the laws of Caesar. Virtually any action you take to avoid filing a currency transaction form--how about $9,999 instead of $10,000? Well, how about $8,900 instead of $10,000? Use your heads! Intentional avoidance is now a federal felony and punishable by truly enormous fines and long prison sentences.

Anti-money laundering legislation is anti-privacy legislation. Seeking privacy from the government in your financial affairs, for what ever reason, is now in many cases a crime.

THE OMNIBUS ANTI-DRUG BILL OF 1988

As intrusive as the current crop of federal legislation dealing with financial pri­vacy is already, the government continues to tighten the noose. The most recent legislation, the Omnibus Anti-Drug Bill of 1988, contains the following provi­sions: requires that agencies of the federal government co-operate with the Customs Service to feed data into customs computers on at least a monthly ba­sis; requires the Customs Service to establish machine readable passports; au­thorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to negotiate with finance ministers of foreign countries to establish an "international currency control agency"; authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to encourage foreign countries to adopt uniform cash reporting transaction forms and anti-money-laundering statutes and; autho­rizes the Secretary of the Treasury to lower the cash transaction reporting re­quirements set forth in the Bank Secrecy Act at any time.

Given the power of the computer to piece together seemingly unrelated data, the Omnibus Anti-Drug Bill of 1988 could have some unexpected--and potentially devastating--effects.

What would happen for instance, if the IRS were to wire a Customs Service computer that you were about to be audited? Would the Customs Service, upon scanning your machine-readable passport, permit you to leave the U.S.?

Already an "international currency control agency" suggested by the bill is tak­ing shape. A new international treaty, the "Draft Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters", would establish a system to exchange tax information between nations "automatically" and "simultaneously". It would also establish globally-standardized tax forms and tax laws. And it would permit suspected tax evasion in one nation to be inves­tigated in any other nation and allow assets to be seized across international borders. Finally, to enforce these provisions, a global IRS would be estab­lished: "InterFipol", the International Financial Police. DO YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND POLICE STATE AROUND YOUR NECK WITH A TIGHTENING NOOSE?

DO YOU ONES OF MINE BEGIN TO SEE WHY THE DREAM OF "HATONN, JUST GET US THE MONEY AND THE WORLD WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER-AFTER", IS NOT POSSIBLE? SO BE IT! YES THE SPACE BROTHERS KNOW YOU NEED FINANCES--BUT WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO OUR WORK. I'M SORRY, BROTH­ERS, BUT WE DID NOT MAKE THE LAWS--YOU SLEPT AND AL­LOWED THEM TO COME ABOUT! NOW, WE MUST WORK WITHIN THEM TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND YOU MUST BEAR WITH US. SO BE IT.

Dharma, it has been a long time without a break. Let us close this portion that the chapters not be too long and create boredom.

In appreciation for service and always in your service, chelas, I move to stand­by.
