Oh no, not that BS again.....
Has anyone bothered to read Bamford's book, which described what
people now insist is "Echelon" back in 1983? I could probably pay my
hosting bills for a few years by posting Amazon links for that book
to UFO mailing lists!

"Above Top Secret" is actually Secret Compartmented Information.
Legally, Top Secret is as high as it can go- but things like
compartmented information circumvent whatever law it was that laid
out classification levels back in the 1940s. UMBRA was a generic
compartment for SIGINT/COMINT material that NSA used until it was
publically compromised in the late 1970s or early 1980s, when UMBRA
was replaced with a new codeword. No one has ever denied UMBRA, and
it's been public knowledge for at least 20 years.

The software you were born with helps
you follow thousands of different
threads on the Internet, whip up gourmet
feasts using only ingredients from
the 24-hour store, and use words
like "paradigm" and "orthogonal"
in casual conversation. It deserves
the operating system designed to work
with it: the MacOS.
