Dear Mr. Young,

This letter is to notify you that we are terminating your service for violation of our Acceptable Use Policy, effective Friday May 4, 2007. We are providing you with two week notice to locate another service provider.

Sincerely,

VERIO INC.
an NTT Communications Company

____________________________

Cryptome:

This notice of termination is surprising for Verio has been consistently supportive of freedom of information against those who wish to suppress it. Since 1999 Cryptome has received a number of e-mailed notices from Verio's legal department in response to complaints from a variety of parties, ranging from British intelligence to snarly DMCA thugs to perps angry that their vices have been exposed (see below). In every case Verio has heretofore accepted Cryptome's explanation for publishing material, and in some cases removal of the material, and service has continued.

In this latest instance there was no notice received from Verio describing the violation of acceptable use to justify termination of service prior to receipt of the certified letter, thus no opportunity to understand or respond to the basis for termination.

It may be wondered if Verio was threatened by an undisclosable means, say by the feds, cops, spooks, by a confidential legal bluff or by an abusive intimidation not yet publicized.

Every few months our Verio rep, Warren Gleicher, Senior Account Manager, (wgleicher[at]verio.net) writes to ask if service is satifactory, the last in February 2007.

Danna and Warren: Cryptome would appreciate your telling what has led to the termination for publication on Cryptome here or with another service not so bluffable. Send the information anonymously if necessary to keep your jobs.

Canadian Supidity

This may be interesting. I went to Service Canada to get my Social Security Insurance card name corrected. They had mistakenly added a "dash" between my family names. But they refused my Canadian passport as an ID because they said it is an insecure document. When I got my passport made last month the same government said it is extremely secure:

Transcript of Interview of CIA Director Michael V. Hayden by C-SPAN's Brian Lamb, April 15, 2007

LAMB: If the 100,000 figure is right, 16 different agencies that report to the Director of National Intelligence, and if the figure $45 billion is right, if you could have anything you want, how many more people would you want and how much more money would you want to spend?

HAYDEN: I could go through our budget and pick out little niches there, where just a few more dollars - and in our terms, you know, $10 million here or $20 million there - can really make a difference. But by and large, the community as a whole, CIA in particular, has benefited from the resources that the American people - acting through the Congress and the president - the resources the American people have given us since 9/11. Right now, my biggest challenge is absorbing the growth we've had inside the agency and putting these new resources to work in an efficient and effective way. And it's - sure, it has something to do with the money, but it really has to do with people. Let me give you a sense of scale here, Brian. And I have to talk around it a little bit, because the numbers are classified. But let me give you a sense. One-seventh of the Central Intelligence Agency has been hired in the last 12 months. One-fifth of our analysts have been hired in the last 12 months. Fifty percent of the agency has been hired since 9/11.

NSA Announces Plans for Data Center in San Antonio

The National Security Agency/Central Security Service (NSA/CSS) has identified a facility in San Antonio, Tex., as the site of a data center. Determination for the site was made after a comprehensive evaluation of potential locations nationwide, using input from government organizations, such as the Army Corps of Engineers, and commercial data center plans.

NSA has also engaged other government agencies to pursue the suggestion that Intelligence Community organizations collaborate to determine the potential for shared data center sites.

For more information about the NSA/CSS and its national security mission, visit the website, www.nsa.gov.

While the final location may have changed since then, this is the former Sony chip facility to be
reconstructed for use by NSA San Antonio reported on April 16, 2005:

Date:	Fri, 20 Apr 2007 04:38:02 -0400
From:	"James M. Atkinson" <jmatk[at]tscm.com>
Subject: Ships that don't float, and secret communications systems that
  are not secure

As a few of you know, I was engaged as an independent expert witness 
in a subject matter in which I have a considerable about of 
expertise. I donated many hundreds of hours pouring over huge numbers 
of documents and was able to prove that the Coast Guard screwed up 
bad, and I means really bad, and that Lockheed Martin was (shall we 
say, extraordinarily evasive). Bottom line, the Coast Guard was 
asleep, they screwed up big time, the contractor knew they were 
asleep, so they proceeded to rape the Coast Guard... A whistleblower 
at Lockheed came forward (no, it wasn't me), the DHS-OIG investigated 
and found nothing, the DOJ investigated and uh... let just say that 
we will hear more about that later. Anyway, I figured out who they 
were pulling off the scam, and wrote a report, and then the report 
came out early this week (for the hearing mid week) the Coast Guard 
does an "oh-sh*t... we have been caught" and starts scrambling to do 
something ... anything between last week and the hearing date to show 
they are trying to be proactive (hence then announcing that they just 
cancelled the Lockheed Contract).  Lockheed on the other hand is 
screwed, and screwed bad. During the hearing they (as a company, and 
four of their senior executives) got caught dead committing perjury ... 
and I mean they got caught dead.

I have been given full blessings by Congress to publish any of the 
following, and I was in fact told (by the Committee) that I should 
disseminate this report and resulting hearing transcripts as we have 
open government in this county, and screw ups of this magnitude need 
to be brought to the public's attention so that the matter can be 
corrected with all due oversight.

You will probably want to be sitting down when you read the 
report.... it is an ugly truth to be told.

During the hearing (I will post the transcript later) the Coast Guard 
basically said that they have no COMSEC, no TSCM, no TEMPEST 
protection, and that the ships don't float, and that they have been 
leaking  classified information all over the place. My initial report 
was like 2000+ pages, but we had to pare it down to it current size 
to make it easier to distribute.

Read from page 1 to page 39 to get a good summary, but the 
transcripts of the oral testimony went on for over 8 hours (likely 
1000's pages of really ugly stuff, but ugly stuff that we need to 
know about), and we came within two minutes of setting a 
Congressional record for the length of a hearing (I was in the 
hearing until 11:30 PM, argh).

Take a look at the following links:

http://transportation.house.gov/Media/File/Full%20Committee/20070418PM/James%20Atkinson%20Testimony.pdf

There is a second and third set of document that I will post in a few days.

It is interesting reading, and most of you will love the technical 
stuff in the first 15 pages.

When I gave my testimony, it was some seriously intense hell-fire, 
brimstone, Old Testament kind of stuff.

I must thank you for warning me about the true nature of the security services and the lengths that they will go to silence or denigrate the messengers of Truth. I cannot be sure what instruction Tony Holland was given, or whether he has acted on his own initiative, but it is clear from the history of his actions, opposing me, that he was trying to damage my chances of winning an Appeal against my conviction under the Official Secrets Act.

The Site R counterintelligence files Zipped: http://cryptome.org/mci/site-r-ci.zip (2.1 MB)

These reports on Site R counterintelligence (codenamed CANARY EFFORT) are excerpted from documents released under FOIA by the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). The FOIA request was made in March 2001 and the documents received on February 27, 2007 (letter of transmittal). They are dossiers on the Army's domestic counterintelligence efforts in the 1970s targetted at military bases under a program named the Internal Counterintelligence Program (ICIP). The full ICIP release consists of about 900 pages and has been added to the INSCOM DVD offered by Cryptome.

Site R is formally named the Alternate Joint Communications Center (AJCC), an underground national command bunker.
