FTC Abandons Call for Stronger Privacy Laws
Anonymous Coward writes: "Found this article on CNN explaining that the FTC has decided to not seek stronger consumer privacy laws in the wake of the events of last month. The article also details how several companies broke their own privacy policies by voluntarily giving customer data to federal authorities." The NY Times has an article about this as well, with a couple of good comments from interested parties.

Rob Malda is an AKA for "Obr al Mad," a known homosexual Islamic extremeist.
Regard him with extreme caution... he believes that by promoting lies about Linux he will be greeted by 69 homosexual boys in heaven, each of which have been molested by Allah!
The NY Times, which requires the annoying free registration, has a piece about privacy laws. I also find it interesting that they have this quote on the reg page: Immediately after the events of September 11, we temporarily removed our registration/sign-in requirement to permit as many readers as possible to access developing news stories quickly. We have now restored our registration process. Guess they don't want all those readers anymore.

The Beast is a gigantic three story computer located in the administrative building of the headquarters of the Common Market.
That monster is a self-programming computer that has more than one hundred sources distributing entries. Experts in programming have perfected a plan that will handle by computer all of the world's trade.
This master plan would imply a system of digital enumeration of each human being of the earth. Thus the computer would give each inhabitant of the world a number to be used for each purchase or sale, removing the problem of present credit cards. This number would be invisibly tatooed by laser, either on the forehead or on the back of the hand. This would establish a walking credit card system. And the number could be seen only through infrared scanners, installed in special verification counters or in business places.
666
Dr.Eldeman pointed out that by using three entries of six digits each, every inhabitant of the world would be given a distinct credit card number.
World Money
Other officials of the Common Market believe that present chaos and disorder, due to a mysterious cause, show the need of a world money, of an international print that would possibly put an end to paper money and coins. In their place, credit notes would be exchanged by the means of a world bank's clearing house.
No member could buy or sell without first being given such a numbered imprint.
The directors of the Common Market are now convinced that world order demands, on the allegiance of peace and politics, a new world system of trade and numbering.
A single individual would have, within reach, the number of any hinabitan instrument of peace or a weapon of dictatorship.
When one of the leading heads of the Common Market was asked what would happen if someone objected to the system and refused to cooperate, he answered rather bluntly: "We would be obliged to have recourse to force to bring him to conform to the new requirements."
Henry Spaak, who was the founder of the European Common Market, and General Secretary of NATO, said, in one of his speeches:
"We don't want another committee, we already have enough of them. What we want is a man of such stature that he be capable to gain the allegiance of peace and politics to pull us out of the economic chaos into which we are sinking. Send us this man, and, be he god or demon, we will welcome him."
The Financiers: supreme masters
Today, through their economic control, the Financiers prepare an absolute world political control.
They will rule universally and totally, raised at the top of both civil powers united: politics and economics.
Europe's Common Market seems to be the first step towards the world political government. And the electronic computer will be that "man of such stature" that he may command, watch, register, check, censor, punish all the men of all the nations, "each human being of the earth". This computer is really much more than a man, it is a heartless superman, with diabolic intelligence.
And the International Financiers, who know well that they themselves control the money of the whole world, have the nerve to talk about the "mysterious cause of actual chaos and disorder". They make believe that they are looking for a means to pull the peoples from the "economic chaos into which they are sinking," when it is they, the bankers, who are the authors of the chaos, by the control of money and by their plays with the currencies, a play that makes countries tremble. The Canadian dollar goes down. The American dollar too, in respect to the Asian and European currencies. But the Canadian dollar is even lower than the American dollar. The Bank of Canada comes to the rescue of the Canadian dollar. But that is not enough, etc., etc.
All of that is International Bankers' games, games of speculating financiers, games of swindlers. And worst yet, they are games of controllers of human lives, games of dictators, of tyrants of the peoples.
The swindling financiers are liars. They have for a long time hidden the mystery of their scheme. And they would want us to continue to swallow up their lies. Blessed are the Social Crediters who see clearly through all of these diabolic manipulations, leading the whole world to a slavery as was never seen in history.
And the true Social Crediters know, furthermore, that if they place their trust in the Eternal Father, this all powerful God will free the world from the snares of Satan.
Trust in God and in the Rosary of the Immaculate. The light of Social Credit opens for us the door of that trust. And the apostolate of the "Michael" Journal gives us the strength to endure everything in the meantime, since we have hope.
Any ideas how to get some?

In the surest sign yet that this bipartisanship stuff may be getting out of hand, top Democratic aide Steve Elmendorf is joining House Majority Leader Dick Armey's (R-Texas) crusade against red-light cameras.
It seems that Elmendorf, who serves as chief of staff for House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.), returned home one recent night to find a $100 speeding ticket waiting in his mailbox. A dreaded police camera had nailed him.
Even though Elmendorf has never been a big fan of Armey, he immediately thought of the Republican's claims that the police cameras smack of Big Brother.
The following day, Elmendorf rushed up to the Majority Leader. "I'm on board with your initiative," he told a startled Armey.
Armey has been railing against the Orwellian police tactics for months, tracking the national spread of the devices on his Web site.
"Dick Armey is my hero," Elmendorf informed HOH with only a hint of sarcasm. "If [the police] want to stop me and pull me over, fine. But this is a violation of my civil liberties. It's an outrage.
"I'm glad," he added, "that Dick Armey is standing up against this."
Hey Vlad, what's going on with Geekizoid? Anything coming up? And what the hell is the new Trolltalk sid, I always just linked from Giz.
