Speaking of Afghanistan: The Washington Times website article titled "Inside the Ring by Bill Gertz" tried to install a browser tracking script when I clicked it this morning...after the column was listed on the Drudge Report as "Biden opposed major Afghan effort".* Story here, but be wary of the tracking script and if you don't have first-rate virus defenses, I can't recommend it. Especially since you should remember what I explained earlier this week about self-profiling...

Can anyone explain this? What is a "tracking script", how it works, how to tell if one is being installed...etc. I've never had any anti-virus notification of this, so I don't know if I've acquired them or not.

I actually think that monitoring is even much more advanced then described here. And I have felt several time monitoring far away from the computer. Maybe there are all kinds of "they".

I agree...they're probably many years ahead of what we know. If there's anything to the
PC Jack Silva interview, that would back up the comment that EpiphaMe heard from Swerdlow.

I kid you not!

It's even crazier than this. Walmart puts RFID chips in products that can tie a specific item (not just the product) to your credit card and bank account. If you return an item, and it has one of these ID's they can tell if it's the exact unit you purchased, plus where, when and how you paid for it...so use cash while you still can. The next step is to put RFID chips into our money.
