30. Monitor and be monitored

In 1998, I read a book 'Study abroad in US'.( Chinese edition ) Author Qian Ning was a Chinese student studying 'News media ' in US. He visited many Chinese students during school vacation and wrote this book. He wrote, that most Chinese students said they felt US was a democratic country. They didn't feel that they were monitored by American government. Anyhow, there was exception. A man insisted that government monitoring foreigh students. He had such an experience. Once he would take a vacation back to China. The night before his leaving, he told his wife (or friend?) to pack for their journey. "Take care, there is top secret doents inside." He said. That was a joke. Next day in airport, His luggage was searched thoroughly. He knew it was his joke caused it. Had he not made that joke, he would have joined that majority and won't say that foreign students were monitored.

Even Wen Ho Lee, once was thought a spy suspect, has been a government informant as well as his wife. They reported the contact of their Chinese counter parter. I think that was why Lee was cooprative at first, talk everything with laugh to agents until he was threatened by FBI agent that if he would not admit he was a spy he could be sentenced to death. Since then he was silenced. This remind me of the two black girls who were placed in dangerous position, (see '18. Portable microwave shooting instrument' ) I think they thought they worked for law enforcement agency without knowing the truth. Lee was lucky to get a good lawyer. Otherwise there was possibility he was still in jail. But compare to Ron and Mrs. Churchill, they were much better. Ron and Mrs. Churchill could never have dreamed of that they died in hands of people they worked for.

31. Extortion

Former FBI director Hoover held large quantity of black material of Presidents and Senators. With these material he blackmailed the politicians. That's why he could stay at that post as long as he wished.

In leuwinsky scandal, Linda Trip provided Starr's office with 20 hours secretly taped phone conversation in which Leuwinsky talked about her affairs with Clinton. She also instructed Leuwinsky kept the jacket which contaminated Clinton's . Trip didn't get any advantage from it. From my point of view, it was obviously much more a purposed intelligent practice than the relationship of friends. An insistent eavesdropping and evidence searching. Mr. Hoover used to use this kind of material to extort.

In 2000, Mr.Ashcroft competed for US Senator of Missouri. The death of his rival former Governor Carnahan in an airplane crash reminded me of the accidental death of a Disneyland executive several years ago. Anyhow, voters chose the widow of his rival rather then him. I said to myself, 'it may be an coincidence, don't be oversensitive.' Then he was nominated as General Attorney of Justice. This is a post supervising Federal law enforcement agency, a VIP post . I then thought in different way. It seemed like if they could not have someone being a senator, they would sent him to a post which supervising them. Newspaper said Ashcroft is an extreme rightist. His nomination was protested by many civil right organizations. Democratic Party said they would stop him by filibuster. But I knew from beginning, if the nomination was decided by President and senators, then however absurd it was, FBI could get it through.

I started to post in internet in Sept. 2000. I suffered my first 'close for post' on the day Mr. Ashcroft ped his nomination. Here is a comment I posted in 'Washingtonpost.com':

"From: KATHAKSUNG Feb-6 2:07 pm To: Kayaker (KSWENSON3) unread 1572 of 1721 1588.1572 in reply to 1588.3 T

The mainstream America will be censorship on internet?
I have a thread:" Law enforcement, a threaten to U.S. democracy" in several forums. My discussion generally went OK, though be hared sometimes. On Jan. 31, there was a big wave of attack at my sites: failing to post in 'Csmonitor'; topic being blocked away from readers in many forums; "Foxnews" was closed until today. In 'Independent argument', I was personally closed for posting. In an inquiry e-mail I asked " Is this a kind of censorship?" Their reply:"Yes,that is correct. Independent editors reserve the right....". It is not a coincidence. Ashcroft was admitted by senator committee that day with votes 10:8. as Federal Attorney General and 58:42 next day in senators. It is an outstanding signal that law enforcement agent can abuse their power to censor media, frame innocent people."

I thought the success of nomination inspired them to abuse their power in internet.

32. "Operation Fire Dragon"

My wife worked in a travel company in 1987. She was an accountant. Everything was quite well until 1991 when drug case happened. Then the boss became picky. At last she changed my wife's work, from an accountant to a ticket agent.

I noticed that three of four of her colleagues left the company. The left one was a relative of Boss who just arrived in US and did not speak English. Otherwise I think she would have been repositoned too. I found it's a popular tactic of law enforcement agency when they put someone under surveillance. Among new comers, there was a lady, I called her G-lady because she guided my wife changed her twice from two companies.

In 1994, I left for China. About that time, G-lady changed her into another company- A and S Tours Inc.. She introduced my wife to work in that company. The boss, Mrs H, was a lady from Taiwan, she was under surveillance by Federal law enforcement agency because her brother H was an arms agent, and had a weapon deal at that time. Of course, none of us knew this until the case broke. The case was given a name "Operation Fire dragon" by BATF. H bought some rifles (AK-47, I think) from China and sold them to someone in South America. He was charged that he had shipment of ault weapon without permit. H said he did not know he need a permit because the destination was South America. US was just a transferring point.
What I knew My wife's new boss was charged for receiving a gun box. It was said an agent had guaranteed it was legal , and final verdict of 'innocent' proved he was right because 'gun box' itself was not a weapon. But it didn't stop them to prosecute her though they knew it's innocent.

I reviewed the whole case after it was closed. I have new recognition of Federal law enforcement agency. They tried to circle as many people as possible in a case. Because more people involved, more chance to be benefited. Mrs. H was charged for a gun box which was not a weapon. I think she was charged because she was rich, she had real estate property in San Francisco and San Mateo County, a possible 'profit' source. After I went to China, Mrs. Chen's case was closed. But my family was still under surveillance. Through guiding my wife to a company involved in a case, they still could monitor us legally. G-lady quitted from
the A & S Tours Inc. about one month before the case broke. She avoided to be involved in any trouble. I didn't believe any coincidence already then. I even think 'operation Fire Dragon' probably was masterminded by Federal Law enforcement agency.(It was easy, only by disguising a buyer from South America, a tactic they frequently use,they could easily build a case.) When my wife went to the new company, the weapon's deal should only be in process, maybe just started, but they foresaw there would be a case and guided her in.

33. Evaluation of property

About in 1992, a former colleague of my wife when she was in Hong Kong came to visit US with her husband. At that time, friends and relatives were intimidated by law enforcement agents and kept a distance from us. So I thought it was a little strange, especially they chose to stay at our house for two nights. Tourist used to stay in San Francisco, rarely came to San Jose.

The husband started to talk about stamp collection. I collected stamp when I was a child and kept that hobby until then. Even in the years of Chinese Cultural revolution, I didn't give up. At that extraordinary period, collect stamp was regarded as a capitalist hobby, stamp store were shut down, stamps were burned. I almost have most stamps government issued since 1949. Now it worths something, especially those issued during Culture Revolution and before that period, because most of them were abandoned and destroyed. He asked me to show him my collection and viewed them carefully. He astonished me by offering 1700(HK dollars) for a set of stamp which face value is only 2 (HK dollars). That price could cover almost total cost I spent on my collection. Then he talked about how he collected stamps. He bought bunch of sheets of stamp when new edition issued and put them in safe box. So when value increased, he made a lot of money. He talked about this again and again.

I thought, this way was not a hobby, it was investment. Rich men's business. He was rich, he had a securities company. He came to estimate the value of my collection and encourage me to have more by offering a high price on one set of stamp. Collection, as well as gold, cash, jewel are Federal law enforcement's favorites. Because these things are usually with no record and easy be stolen. Even my wife doesn't know how many and what kind of stamp I have. And the husband might think he worked for Law enforcement agency so he was trusted by government. He didn't know it was not coincidence. They picked him up because he was rich. Just like the burglary to my youngest brother in law, (he is the richest among my sisters and brother), the prosecution of the boss of A and S Tours, (though they knew she was innocent), he was chosen because he was a possible 'profit' source. Of course, I knew nothing of this, only felt it was unusual then. I recognize all this bit and bit by aculation of experience later.

34. The lost Credit Card

I had a Visa card. About in September 1993, Visa card company said they would transfer my Visa card into GM Mastercard. I wonder why they did so and thought they might sold business to another company.

In Oct. 15, Visa card company gave me a letter, said that as one of select customers, they were sending me a Mastercard to replace Visa card. Usually this was a notice and customers would receive the card in a week or so. I didn't pay much attention on this because at that time, I felt pressure on my business. Newspaper said Mrs. Chen's drug case would be sentenced next week. Berryessa Flea Market announced there would be a Festival next week. There would be music, and free beer. I've been in Berryessa for nearly 10 years. It was the first time experience. Free beer reminded me of free entertainment of Disneyland for FBI agent. It seemed that they would close the drug case and had a celebration. I knew I was much more a target than any real criminals because I knew too much dark side of Federal law enforcement agency. I didn't know what they would do but expected there would be a violent end. So I abandoned my business that week.

In Nov. 24, GM Card co. mailed me a letter, reminding me they had sent me the card, and emphasized with bold letter that:" If you have not received your new card(s), please call our Lost/Stolen Dept. at......." The same sentence was put in an eye-catching box at the top of the letter. I called that number. Staff said they would cancel the lost card and mail me new one. Right next day, I received the letter contained new Mastercard. "What an efficiency!" I admired while calling Card company to confirm of receipt. To my surprise, I was interrogated by the staff for sometime. Then they told me the card number I confirmed was reported lost yesterday and should be the card due in my hands one month ago. I immediately realized someone surveying on my mail had held the credit card. They only released it when touched off by report lost phone call. That's why I got the lost mail next day to the phone call. The promised new card arrived nine days later.

Since then I was aware they even developed a system to steal from people. Everything was well planed in advance, they even could get a credit card of full amount from victim which the dead man could never verify. It may also explain why they are so easily kill innocent people: they can always 'profit' from it, either by credit card, cash or their collections. And it is the safest loot, no one will complain. All victims are dead people.
