I also received these subsciptions and because of at least one of the addresses which is a front address for a dirty tricks operation we ignored them. We recognized the one address at leasat as potnetially danGEROUS AND IRREPONSIBLE USE OF ACCESS TO SECURE DOMAINS. Given your address, perhaps you are not overly paranoic. My experience has been poor with this group at times frightening because they are attacking the internet and at least part of the US administration as well as infiltrating Euoprean groups. The ultimate effect is disruption which discredits your list, work, research and ultimately the GOVERNMENT WHICH YOU REPRESENT IN THE FINAL INSTANCE.aS i HAD BEEN WORING ON OTHER MATERIAL AND SOME MAJOR ISSUES THROUGH OUR FILES YOU CAN TRACE3 THEM ATTACKING NATIONAL ECONOMIES, HEALTH CARE INITIATIVES, US PLANS FOR URBAN AND RURAL REOGANIZATION AND RAISING ISSUES AT THE UN WHICH CONTRAVENE THE CHARTER. I have not yet figured out exactly what interests they represent as it looks like anarchy in our archives, but they will also try to invade the electronic threads of your PRIVATE LIIFE.
