The Fusion Center network has been plausibly alleged to be used for coordination by various municipalities with Federal agencies - for suppression of "Occupy" protests.
Another group of documents shows that on November 9, two days after a demonstration by 1000 Occupy activists in Chicago protesting social service cuts in that city, the NOC Fusion Desk relayed a request from Chicago Police asking other local police agencies what kind of tactics they were using against Occupy activists. They specifically requested that information be sought from police departments in New York, Oakland, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. Denver, Boston, Portland OR, and Seattle â" all the scene of major Occupation actions and of violent police repression. Realizing that it would look bad if it assisted in such coordination overtly, higher officials in the DHS ordered the recall of the request but then simply rerouted it through "law enforcement channels," where presumably it would be harder for anyone to spot a federal role in the coordination of local police responses. In response to that order, the documents show that the duty director of the NOC wrote that he would "reach out" to "LEO LNOs (liaison officer) on the floor" to assist.
The entire device+store copy of iPod business model was doomed to failure. The market was big enough for EXACTLY ONE of those - and it was already occupied by Apple.
Of course, ZuneHD was binned, for Windows Mobile 7. Microsoft. Occasionally getting something right, and then executing on the exactly wrong thing...
Just like a flood of Athenas - flooding from the forehead of Zeus!
We are awash in the innovations and creativity gushing from Microsoft. One simple antecedent in the case of the Metro interface hardly mars the unbroken record of stunning inventiveness and groundbreaking vision that can be directly attributed to the far-sighted leadership of Ballmer's Microsoft.
Someday, the humble Zune will be recognized as the beginning of the post-PC era, which Microsoft ushered, leading from behind.
Who is the "them" you suppose to exist? Kids, clinging to their mother's skirts at her brother's wedding?
The "them" is a fiction - a faceless threat, for you to fear in darkness and ignorance.
The "them" which manifested itself in New York, over 10 years ago? That wasn't some errant, untended human aberration that must be managed, lest it spontaneously swell and strike again - like a disease.
No.
It was the expression and natural outcome of a nested network of interlocking shadow-wars and "intelligence" regimes. The 911 attackers were the explicit creation of policy pursued by the US and its principal para-political allies. The source of funding was ultimately US and Saudi. 15 of the 19 supposed hijacker's visas for the US have been definitively traced to CIA over-riding of State Dept denials in the Jeddah consular office.
It may be overly-simplistic to say that the CIA, or Mossad or the ISI were "behind" 911. They certainly were linked in its funding, enablement and creation. And if not "behind" , they certainly got out in front, afterward - riding the event like wave at Malibu.

It's been going on for years, now. Like the history of Australia, in reverse.
Peer review of correlation. Wow. :-)
Fracking probably accelerates seismic disturbance. But I just can't help thinking of yesterday's discussion thread: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/10/02/1930257/the-history-of-correlation-does-not-imply-causation

So, the Fusion centers are used by DHS to obfuscate their role in suppression of people's rightful, democratic action.

WHAT!
Your hillbillies made it to THIRD GRADE!?
If correlation WERE causality, then I'd ascribe this occurrence as a sign for the end-of-times.
A good guy... Who orders actions that kill innocents on a weekly, or daily basis.
You cannot be a "good guy" and POTUS, anymore so than if you were head of the Supreme Soviet, or Caesar.
ZuneHD got it "right" for UI.
