did and pleaded no contest. He was fined and that

Then it happened, in March 1995:

A Haverford Township Police officer arrested Ed Cummings.

His crime?

Talking with African Americans in a parking lot. A heavily monitored group...
The *sole* reason Ed Cummings was targeted was because he was talking to
black people.

What was he arrested for? Suspicion of drug dealing. (I'm guessing here.)

Did he have any drugs? None.

How do you arrest someone for drugs when they don't have any? I don't know.

What did he have? Electronic components: crystals.

No, not Starship Dilithium Crystals; just radio shack components.

Haverford Police put out word they had Ed Cummings; the Federal government
responded that they wanted the state case. It was transferred to the Feds.

Specifically, the Secret Service wanted to prosecute him.

* When searching for derogatory references to President Richard M. Nixon
* [ "I had no prior knowledge of the Watergate break-in," said President
* Nixon looking straight at the camera on a national television address,
* "It's that simple." ], for example, technicians would have to program
* a variety of keywords, such as "Tricky Dicky." This, according to the
* former NSA G Group chief, would be converted to 'ky----ky."
*
* Should this selection process still produce a considerable amount of

* addition of the words "New York," to reduce the number.

You may wonder what keywords excel at picking up "resume condition" traffic.

You want the truth?

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

Just kidding. That was Jack Nickelson speaking for the NSA.

Here is how it is done:

So the FBI had one of their agents infiltrate CISPES using a Frank
Varelli, who was born in San Salvador and served in the U.S. Army.

# "How the FBI infiltrated CISPES and Assisted the Salvadoran Right Wing"
# By James Ridgeway, The Village Voice, NYC
#
# Varelli met with the Salvadoran National Guard, best known for its
# death squads. They gave him a "hit list" of people they wanted.
#
# When the INS stopped a Salvadoran immigrant, it would call the FBI and
# check the name against the list.
#
# If the detained person's name was on the list, the INS would institute
# deportation proceedings, opposing bail on "national security" grounds.
#
# Varelli would call the Salvadoran National Guard to let them know the
# individual was on his way home. In this way, the FBI assisted, over a
# three-year period, the work of the Salvadoran death squads.
