What's Your Terrorism Quotient?
unassimilatible writes "From the Department of Pre-Crime, the AP reports: before helping to launch the criminal information project known as Matrix (Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange), a database contractor gave U.S. and Florida authorities the names of 120,000 people who showed a statistical likelihood of being terrorists - sparking some investigations and arrests. The 'high terrorism factor' scoring system also became a key selling point for the involvement of the database company, Seisint Inc., in the Matrix project. According to Seisint's presentation, dated January 2003 and marked confidential, the 120,000 names with the highest scores were given to the INS, FBI, Secret Service and Florida state police. Seisint and the law enforcement officials who oversee Matrix insist that the terrorism scoring system ultimately was kept out of the project, largely because of privacy concerns."
AC's keep reposting the same thing.
its all about the gain of American Hegemony (TM) over the world, so that a few of the aristocracy can enjoy 90 percent of the worlds wealth .. and what scraps they miss the rest of us get to keep... .. despite what they say about 'United We Stand' ... look to the entertainment they create, political correctness is another method of creating OTHER... that which is not us is OTHER .. and therefore LESSER ..
... then i wish you well in your blinded ignorance ....
... and its going to be alot harder to run to canada this time around . . .
they prefer a nation divided
the lure of aristocratic lifestyle is very ancient... only until fairly recently (in the lifespan of humanity) has there emerged a significant middle class, but that middle class is now not only shrinking but it is subjected to propaganda that those at the bottom who are falling into the realm of poverty do not see what is happening, and those at the upper reaches of the middle class belive they are members of the elite few at the top.. but the majority never rise above lackeys to the counts and dukes and barons of this new era of royalty...
the american dream of rags to riches, is naught but a myth, with but a handful of examples...
as to the war in iraq... if you belive that this invasion of a country was to help develope democracy in a nation we had absolutely no trouble at all in giving their dictator money, arms, and WMD's until the 1990's
by the way, drafting may commence in the latter part of 2005
well sorry for the rambling, half awake babbling but we must wake up from our dream state, and confront the powers that be that we will no longer tolerate being used as cannon fodder in their wars of profit...
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."
