The only way such tracking can occur is for someone to place a stand-alone server (as part of Echelon) on your ISP's network, dedicated to watching the packet activity of your IP.

I respectfully disagree, William. At least in America, U.K., Australia, NZ, and Canada, everywhere you go is logged. It is done by computers, looking for sites you go to that can cause problems. Of course, there are way too many people to monitor, it looks for people who repeatedly hit sites contrary to global security. I have no problem with that. I am sure I was a target before because I read news from all over the world, inclucing Arab papers.

Internet Service Provider (ISP) Earthlink is owned by the notorious NET CENSOR and masters of co-optation, the Church of Scientology (Co$).

I have a degree of first-hand knowledge about what is, and what is not installed and functioning at both major and minor ISP's. The information you are peddling is alarmist nonsense. There are currently no systems that do this style of key-word monitoring of broad internet packets. It is simply impossible and demonstrates a level of paranoia, rather than familiarity with the technologies involved.
To accomplish the task you suggest, would require a near real-time duplication of all packets for redirection, parsing, decoding, and storage. It would also require such a pervasive level of cooperation of technology companies, backbone providers, and ISP's that we would certainly have heard about this by now.

But it's pretty easy to monitor just some sites, i.e conspiracy sites( ATS ).
