The author, by the way, is a Dutch professor of Security, Privacy and Identity at the Radboud University (Nijmegen). His website is here:

- contingencies 6y agoEchelon was only finally and definitively unmasked with the publication of the European Parliament report in 2001. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//NONSGML+REPORT+A5-2001-0264+0+DOC+PDF+V0//EN https://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP/... (Prior to that, the general public would certainly consider you a nutjob for discussing it.) The EU's historians have recently (2014) published an historical perspective on the writing and impact of that report, which is worth a read: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/EPRS/EPRS_STUDY_538877_AffaireEchelon-EN.pdf https://www.europarl.europa.eu/EPRS/EPRS_STUDY_538877_Affair... This is effectively real world history, not the crap you garner from mass media or would-have-you-believe books. Another great classic: the conspicuously missing history of SWIFT, with its own EU parliament discussions. PS.
