The simple truth is, I have<br \/>\nfound few members of this nation&#8217;s security services to be honest<br \/>\nand honorable men.  Being devious and deceptive pretty much goes<br \/>\nwith the territory, I guess.  Their venality, and &#8220;street gang&#8221;<br \/>\nmentality, is perhaps over-emphasized in this sad story.  But this<br \/>\nsort of conspiracy mindset (and criminal activities) is widespread<br \/>\namong those working in the security services.  (And it is ALWAYS<br \/>\npresent if the Jews (MOSSAD) are even peripherally involved.)  In<br \/>\nshort, they take care of their own, and they play by the simple<br \/>\nrule . . . &#8220;you have to go along to get along.&#8221;  Go with the flow.<\/p>\n<p>The writer maintains a website where it appears most or possibly<br \/>\nall of the chapters of his book can be downloaded from a number of<br \/>\nlinks.  It is clear that his aim is vindication and to expose the<br \/>\ncorruption he has found, and explain how the evildoers have<br \/>\nimpacted (some would say destroyed) his life.<\/p>\n<p>There is no advanced technical information in this book.  The<br \/>\nbasic science behind the various eavesdropping (bugging) techniques<br \/>\nis fairly well explained, so as to make it understandable by the<br \/>\nlayman.  The technology that is described was, as he put it, &#8220;twenty<br \/>\nyears old&#8221; when he wrote the book in the early 2000s . . . and<br \/>\nnot unexpectedly covers technological areas where his own work<br \/>\nwas pre-eminent.  There are no references to many widely-used (if<br \/>\nroutinely denied) technologies such as tooth radios, modified<br \/>\ncommercial radios and television sets used as communications systems<br \/>\nin many parts of the world, or other standard electronic gear used<br \/>\nby modern-day spooks.  He makes only passing mention of the<br \/>\n&#8220;burst transmissions&#8221; and &#8220;spread spectrum&#8221; technology used in the<br \/>\nstandard-issue credit-card sized transcievers used by every<br \/>\nintelligence agency in America (and many other countries.)  The<br \/>\nSpy Museum (Washington, DC) and the internet itself are far more<br \/>\ninformative sourcess about eavesdropping technology and<br \/>\ncountermeasures.  This book is instead a very personal story of one<br \/>\nman&#8217;s fight against corrupt and venal public servants &#8212; a fight<br \/>\nthat literally destroyed his life and business.<\/p>\n<p>The author&#8217;s website is:<\/p>\n<p>   http:\/\/www.martykaiser.com\/fbi1~1.htm<\/p>\n<p>09-09-2012  21:09 -0500<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ODYSSEY OF AN EVESDROPPER BOOK REVIEW by Charles H.
