As citizens and as taxpayers, Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, of all faiths, have a basic right and an overriding interest in determining the facts of incidents which are deemed by those in positions of power to be determinative in America's foreign policy, in its educational policy, in its selection of past events to be memorialized in our civic life. The alleged facts of the Holocaust are today at issue all over the civilized world: in Germany, in France, in Italy, in Britain, in the Low Countries and Scandinavia, in Japan, across our border in Canada and in the United States of America itself. The truth will be decided only by recourse to the facts, in the public forum: not by concealing the facts, denying the truth, stonewalling reality.

With the Italian secret service under control, the Americans then expanded it under the name Operation Demagnetize and tied it to an existing network of cadre in northern Italy. In 1951, the Italian secret service formally agreed to set up a clandestine organization within the military to coordinate with the northern cadres. In 1952, SIFAR received secret orders from Washington to adopt a series of political, paramilitary and psychological operations destined to diminish the power of the Italian Communist Party, its material resources, and its influence on government. This priority objective must be attained by all means. 10

To run a TEMPEST operation, you will need a good communications receiver, both high frequency and very high frequency with adjustable bandwidths and a VFO. If you plan to just intercept and leave the exploitation of the collected intelligence for later, you will need a HIGH-QUALITY tape deck; not one of those cheap-assed portables, but a high quality deck. If you plan to do the exploitation now or later, you will still need to convert the IF of your communications receiver to a recordable frequency. To do this, simply patch the output of your 1 MHz or below IF to the input plug on your tape deck. If your IF is something above 1 MHz you're S.O.L unless you have an IF downconverter around or have the ability to construct one. You will, in effect, be recording an RF frequency on your tape deck, vice an audio frequency.

Your tape deck MUST run at either 7 1/2 or 15 i.p.s in order for it to record this signal. You will later play that signal back into your IF for exploitation.

As soon as you have your intercept station (it is best to use a van) set up with receiver, antenna, and recorder, you are ready to engage your intercept target. Most computers are RF shielded these days, so your receiver had better be damn sensitive and have a very selective bandwidth. If you are planning to intercept such a computer, you will need to be outside its building location (if possible). Since we know, most microprocessors operate at frequencies between 2-12 MHz, we will look for the radiated data here in that frequency range. It is here that a spectrum analyzer, connected to your IF output will aid in discerning the signals and binary emissions of your target computer. If you know how to use a spectrum analyzer, it will prove invaluable, but since they are so complicated, I will not attempt to explain their proper use here.

-

You will simply scan the bands between 2-12 MHz until you find the radiated signal (if you must, go for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. harmonics if local interference on the primary frequency is too high) and then tune to the spot where it comes in best. Next adjust your bandwidth until you can just hear the signal as pure as day, with very little to no outside interference.

Next adjust your bandwidth until you can just hear the signal as pure as day, with very little to no outside interference.

Once you have your target tuned in, you may want to drive around the block or further away, to avoid detection. Remember, not to go too far or you will lose the signal. Mainframe computers (when unprotected) sometimes radiate a signal for 3 to four miles! A typical PC computer will radiate a signal for at least 1/2 mile if unprotected!

-

You should, by now, have picked your intercept site, have parked the van, and have made sure that you still have your signal coming in at good strength. The next step is easy! Simply connect the output of your low frequency IF to the input of your deck and let 'er rip! I find that 10" reels suit this purpose just fine, and you should be able to get at least one or two UIDs or PWs in the amount of time you will have at 7 1/2 or 15 i.p.s.

After the tape is done (you may want to record both sides) pack up your gear and head for home!

Once home, you will need another piece of equipment, possibly two. In various surplus magazines, you will see a machine called a "visi-corder" advertised. This is a machine that burns a copy of binary code onto light-sensitive paper. They cost some money, but are basically invaluable. You are now ready for signal exploitation.

You now need to play your recorded tape into the IF input of your communications receiver. The output of your IF will be connected to the IF input on the visi-corder. This will give your the truest binary representation on the paper. If you so desire, you may connect the audio out of your communications receiver to the audio input of the visi-corder. The audio is rectified into DC and then you get a crisp, clear presentation on the paper. But remember this....DC LIES!!! While the representation may be clear, the binary spacing will be off slightly, increasing in error as you continue, until you finally wind up with continuous error.

Assuming you have made the proper connections, get some beer for your relaxation (or them funny l'il pills, or whatever makes you relax....here comes the hair-pulling part). Begin playback of the deck into your receiver and initiate the visi-corder's print mode. I recommend a medium-fast speed, because if you use slow speed to conserve paper (you cheap fucker!), the bauds will be so close together as to render the paper useless and wou wind up wasting the paper anyway!

I'd appreciate your comments on this post (by mail or by posting). - -If what you see below disturbs you, you may want to do something about -it when you go vote for your next President and Congress in November. -If you don't do something about it by not voting, this problem will most -certainly get worse and you (and your kids in the future) will become -unemployed in the future as one of these people will sell your job away so -they can make some money. - -Please think about it... - -(Amounts are in U.S. Dollars.
