The U.S. government has figured out how to bust through Internet censorship filters in order to deliver news and other vital information via e-mail to people in countries like China, according to a recent report.
The official report from the Broadcasting Board of Governors detailed successful testing the agency conducted last year as it tried to slip data into inboxes in Hong Kong and China.
The testing involved technology known as Feed Over e-mail, or FOE, to bypass traps the Chinese government has in place to screen out unwanted Internet content.
According to the report, first obtained and published by the nonprofit GovernmentAttic through a Freedom of Information Act request, the technology "performed well in all tests." BBG confirmed the report's authenticity to FoxNews.com.
Experts behind the testing said this information weapon probably could not have done much good in a situation like that unfolding in Egypt, where the government was flat-out blocking Internet access in response to the political unrest.
"If there's a blackout ... nothing works," BBG Director of Information Security Ken Berman said.

Oh great. Now you can’t keep the Obama Brotherhood off your machine.
Big deal. Our government is controlled by anti-American’s who are doing their best to bring on the New World Order/One World Government. And that new system of governance cannot happen as long as the United States is strong and soverign.
That's just what I was thinking.
Now China can look forward to billions of spam emails from the Treasury begging them to buy US bonds...
It will be the digital equivalent of the Jehovah's Witnesses that won't leave you along. Or the ex-girlfriend with a case of the drunk txties...
along = alone
Nigerian scammers showed them how to do it. BFD
