Today I’ve been fixing broken links and updating my awards (Cosmiverse Site of the Month again–this makes a year and a half) at my shamanic website. When I’m through here, I’m going to search through my genealogical files to help a distant cousin fill in some of her blanks, so I don’t expect to get around to all my SIR list today. But, before I go, I want to share something else with you.
FBI at Xanga?
U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft has authorized and ordered the FBI to increase their in-country spying activities. The FBI’s spokesperson has said they will be attending religious meetings and hanging out at online venues such as chatrooms and message boards. Just in case they show up at Xanga, I want to pass along a few ways you might recognize them:
They comment on a blog about proselytization by counseling women that “it may seem like a solution now but eventually their pimp will abuse them”
They blog about “Seeking Islamic Fundamentalists planning terrorism.”
They address other Xangans as “Sir” and “Ma’am”.
They pick a site name such as IamnotanFBIagent.
They start a “Spies and Moles” blogring.
They don’t seem to know how to use email or HTML.
They write blogs nitpicking about inaccuracies in The X-Files.
They get into flame wars with the Xangans who are CIA agents.

Oooh, the list of people I know who don’t know how to use html or e-mail… I must have done something really bad for the FBI to have that many agents around me!
Big Brother is in Xanga too? Damn!
The FBI always dress like MIB wannabes.
The NSA and Secret service have been conducting domestic surveillance etc. for decades. The FBI’s late entry into this “market” is hardly news, but it helps suppress knowledge of the extent of the “black budget” agencies’ tentacles into American life.
The Panopticon already exists, my friends.

Aaah, so you like it funny, the slightly black humor. Now we shall see if you like it real.
I enjoyed looking at your website – very interesting.
