To my dear and wonderful friends. If perchance you have given to E-Mail to me and have not received an answer. Please not to think perhaps I am rude with non-reply.
As many know, I am not an American citizen residing within your fine country, but only married to an American citizen, and under her fine graces, she is my guarantor.
My work is of a foreign government in the area of intellect compensation, for I am in their respect, civil service.
My work life is very different then that of my private life, in as much, that of my computer inter change in INTERNET forum/north America/European exchange.
Of some time {various weeks} I have been not-enjoyment of extreme difficulties in my e-mail exchange and until a few days past, a non-e-mail recipient status.
It become of not just irritation, but of a real and diffeculte situation.
I was then forced to immediate appear and place into force, a written complaint at the auspicious of the German Konsulate office in Seattle {Washington} of {Habeas Corpus, Delecti-Non-Performus} in as much to interference by witt, the United States Goverment of freedom of speech in as much to interference of a FCC controlled medium of {Internet-um}{Vertragsverluetzung}.
This was of Fretag 14 Maerz 2008. Today, of 13.30 15 Maerz 2008. I have now of full freedom of E-mail.
As of present of this time: 13.54 Samstag 2008, I now enjoy the freedom of full INTERNET mail return.
If perchance, of any, who may have e-mailed me of any message and then was aggrieved of no return. For this I am very sorry and will in due hast return your message.
Charles

I'm not sure what that all means but I'm glad you are back! Did the U.S. or Germany deny you internet access? I'm just a provincial American and have no experience with such things.

Charles...does this have anything to do with the FBI now snooping at our emails. (Or is it the CIA) regarding the 9/11 situation. If I send you or anyone mail I will get a response saying it was not delivered and the reason for non delivery. But in this case they aren't going to tell anyone they are snooping or holding mail. (Hello Big Brother) So much for privacy or anything else for that matter.

I'm not sure what that all means but I'm glad you are back! Did the U.S. or Germany deny you internet access? I'm just a provincial American and have no experience with such things. uncltim Of your questions, I have no charge as to the department of action. How ever, I did and have refereed this to my government in as much to the Consulate office in Seattle for action. It was accomplished to my satisfaction. Internet in America is controlled by the FCC. For what ever department is to inter fer with this, is not of my knowledge. My only concern is this interfered with my well being and it was taken care of. I have little care of the means or ways, it is the results I am only interested in. I understand you have not worked in Government? It is not what you know, but where to go. With your question: It was not Germany that interfered with my e-mail, it was a department of the US Government. They are not so different then my county. To bring into play, any action, they must first label the subject person, and in this case, it was a label of {Grey List}, this in-self then becomes the prima-Facia for further action. If the person responsible was with some intelligence, they would have simply monitored, created a substance of record, then obtain a Federal Court search warrant, then proceeded further with seizure of my computer for hard drive information as evidence. Then with such obtained evidence, proceed with the arrest warrant for prosecution. But, there was nothing, but a simple mans e-mail exchange with friends, public news, exchanges with friends and news in Europe. My work is not conducted on the open internet. My sin: many e-mails to and return from Western Europe {Bonn/Cuxhave/Berlin/} and research articles for what ever I post upon this forum. In other words, it would have been not much, except I raised a big stink with the implied threat of an incident against a German citizen on American soil. For only information:{whilst I was at the Consulate, once upon the property, I was per-gratis on German soil under German protection}{this is the same as of your self, if perchance you are in another country, but on your American Consulate property}.

(Hello Big Brother) So much for privacy or anything else for that matter. Chris Chris In as much as I would so enjoy to know every thing, I simply do not, sorry. What I do know is this, in some regards, yes, e-mails are monitored, by what department, I do not have the information and wish not to know. With the shear multitude of e-mails {electronic information transmitted/received in just north America alone, is not practical. But what is practical, is to use a criteria of location and frequency of information transmittal out side of North America and received of there in. This, and key words/url addresses and location of message sent. In my case, my computer is a frequent transmittal to Western and Eastern Europe, with some to Israel. But, do not the many of us.. I think perhaps my incident is an isolated incident that was not meant to be observed. It just proceeded too far and brought to notice my self with the block of e-mails as an indicator. Then upon further examination, I was to find through the IP that my computer {my self] was previously placed upon the Grey List-Postfix Greylisting policy Server} What I would suspect occured as associated, was a mistake. The server data base was only to monitor with out lock up. For only logging and transaction recording of time/date/ and entry. Once the target computer has been cleared of interest, it then is logged onto the White list for lesser monitoring. It is more of less, an automatic maintenance process of observation. We have a similar process in Germany as also. The Americans are learning very well, they just got caught on this one. In other words, their system was good, it was undetected for a time, some thing/some one slipped and it was caught because I was irritated and followed the information line to the problem, and then made a great big stink at the Consulate office. Chris, I do not have the knowledge or power to say or not say you and America are safe from monitoring. Or what agencies or department would be responsible. All I may say is this: it would not be a good idea to ring up your handi or email to your uncle Abdul in Afghanistan for any anti-American activities. Other wise, I would tend to believe you will be just fine and ok. My situation I would enjoy to say, is an isolated situation of mistake upon some individual {department} or what ever. It just irritated the heck out of me. I have always been aware of this possiblity and as so, not a suprise. My only message is/was: If I have missed e-mails for a time, I am very sorry and will in good hast, reply. Charles

Charles, did someone here threaten you? Tim Thank you tim for asking, but the answer is no. No one here has threatened me. For that matter, I am not worth the work to threaten for the returns would not justify the means. I have changed my user name for that good reason though and my e-mail access is no longer valid. But of course I may if any would wish so, private e-mail using the forum in-house system. Tim, not all of the people accessing as guest,are interested in the forum, the very vast majority of those folks, are good people, only peeking in and potential members. The very very small few number of people, are looking for some one or fisching. Boy, I sure should have kept quite on this and let it ride. Charles

Tim, Some time ago, I reminded a forum member of the danger of the FBI etc in monitoring internet transactions, library records and what all else without benefit of a warrant to do so. My info was responded to with disdain and I would not care if my records were invesitigated as I have nothing to hide. My point then and is now is the Patriot act has given the Feds far more power to invade the privacy of Americans under the guise of protecting us from terroists. I would like to know how many terroist threats have been uncovered from library records or wiretaps. This legalised intrustion into the private lives of Americans is dispicable and is probably unconstitional. I recently borrowed some Polish language learning discs from my library. And am writing about it on this forum. Should I watch for the FBI agents? It is sometimes difficult to get Charles' meanings in his posts. I hope I'm understanding him correctly, but no matter, welcome back and I hope all is well.

OK Charles dear;
I must ask the question that is on everyone's minds,
(just think of the two of us, sitting in a Smokey bar toasting our countries with our favorite brew, no inhibitions, no secrets....)
"Just what the heck do you do?" "Are you a spy or something?"
Mary

Did you escape from Dr.Evils secret lair? Were you forced to swim with sharks that had laser beams mounted on their head? Any rubber gloves involved?
