I must agree. Lets not mix up things and stick to the facts:
- Echelon is real
- The Wired article had some sloppy research but was corrected upon notice
- The American Justice Federation tried to use the protest day for its own
agenda but failed.
By expanding any conspiracy theory to Wired News you will only show how
vulnerable you are to disinformation. Try to focus on your protest day and
don't let these glitches divert your attention to secondary issues.

RK:
This would not have been the first time I have seen a grassroots seed
squashed by an organized takeover. Here is what I had to go by:
1. the erroneous article published by Wired
2. the fact that on an NSA newsgroup a message appeared, just as I was
posting to many, with a subject header of Echelon and the text simply of
"listening" - I had not posted yet to that newsgroup but was just about to -
the "listening" post preceeded my own by about a minute.
3. the fact that although Linda Thompson has done, by far, the most exposing
documentary of the Waco Incident, she has been ridiculed by most of the
supposedly alternative investigators of the incident - why, i wonder
4. the fact that Linda Thompson SEEMS to not have a clue as to what the hell
is going on
5. the fact that I have had a huge amount of experiences with journalists
appearing on the scene to cover something, befriending me, promising to
report the incident in a certain way, then smashing the movement with smear
journalism
6. the fact that Linda Thompson HAS been used as a media scapegoat for some
time - for various things
7. plus just how ironic it is that the perfect way to discredit this whole
thing is to associate it with a group whose public perception is of
paranoid/militia
can you blame me?
