    If you want to introduce a new idea into society; start with the children! They are trained not question adults and will accept almost anything. Just look how the idea of socialism has grown in American schools. In the fifties, everyone was against the Great Red Threat and anything communist or socialist. Today, most people under thirty want more socialism.

    I know that a lot of people today don't read the Bible. Some people even look at like it's just a book written by man. Most people won't touch it because it's been so prevented by a few people to control the masses in so many churches all over the world. However, just read Revelation 13:16-18 and think about what WalMart is doing. Think about how in few years you'll have no choice but to take a RFID or you won't be able to buy or sell anything. If this is true, what else is true?

    South Florida Sun-Sentinel (www.sun-sentinel.com)

    The counter-terrorism database is so efficient at analyzing billions of records, so comprehensive in finding links between people and events that some investigators believe it could prevent another attack like 9-11.

    Although some intelligence experts are awed by the potential of the so-called Matrix network, others are uncomfortable with the man who built it.

    Hank Asher -- a Boca Raton multi-millionaire called a patriot by a former Watergate prosecutor, consulted and admired by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- once smuggled millions of dollars worth of cocaine.

    Asher avoided detection and was never charged with a crime during what he calls "the hazy period" of his life. The statute of limitations has long since elapsed on drug-running activities he admits spanned eight months in 1981 and 1982. Those reckless days, he told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, drove him to depression and drug and alcohol abuse.

    He didn't pay for his crimes in a jail cell, but a price was exacted by years of negative publicity and intense public suspicion. The climax came in August, when Asher walked away from the Matrix so it could proceed unencumbered by its designer's infamy.

    Asher, now 52, made peace with himself.

    "I go to sleep every night knowing that I've done much more good than harm," he said.

    Indeed, Asher's notoriety has done little to deflate his clout among some influential crime-fighters.

    Giuliani, now an international crime consultant, uses Asher in the hunt for terrorists. Brian Stafford, the former head of the U.S. Secret Service, is one of a handful of top law enforcement officers who work for Asher's database company. John Walsh, host of the TV show America's Most Wanted, sings Asher's praises.

    To understand the contradiction of the public pariah with quiet influence is to understand his road to redemption. It is a path lined with powerful innovations and financial benevolence that have aided the hunt for criminals and the safe return of missing children.

    "I have a great admiration for what he's doing, both in finding missing children and in coming up with creative solutions to terrorism, as well as owning up to his mistakes," Giuliani said. "People do a lot of things in life. It's a question of what you can do to make up for it, and Hank has done a lot."

    why he smuggled

    In his first interview on the drug allegations, Asher said he got into smuggling for the adrenaline rush.

    "It seemed like an adventure," he said, chain-smoking Marlboro Lights between bites of nicotine gum at his mansion next to the Royal Palm Polo fields. "I had no idea of the hideousness of drugs."

    He got mixed up in the business after "retiring" at age 30 to the Bahamas. Asher moved there after selling the paint contracting business he started at 18 and built into what a 1975 Sun-Sentinel article described as "apparently unmatched anywhere" in the South Florida high-rise market.

    In Great Harbour Cay, Asher said, he attracted attention with his plane and his speedboat. Drugs were rampant, he said, and so were offers for easy money flying the contraband into the United States. Asher said he resisted the offers -- until one came from a group of older men with expensive tastes who "ran in social circles that appealed to me."

    He said he agreed to do them a favor after, having recklessly spent his paint company proceeds, he borrowed money from them.

    An FDLE investigation details how far that favor went. The probe, launched in August and completed in September, was meant to resolve the longstanding rumors of Asher's past, particularly at a time when several states interested in the Matrix were threatening to pull out over the smuggling questions.

    The report concluded that Asher piloted up to seven planeloads of cocaine from Colombia into the United States in 1981 and 1982,

    you actually NEGOTIATE such things before the thing is even INVESTIGATED properly?


    Yes you do. Let say something happened and you are arrested on Thursday. They charge you with a crime and you are now looking at five years in jail. Friday morning, the judge sets bail at $50K. Your checking account has little over $1k and there about $3k in savings. You rent an apartment and drive a car valued at about $10k with $8k owed. You also have a wife and a kid. A lawyer costs about $20K to go to jury trial, but it will take three month to go to trail. In the mean time you sit in jail. A bench trial costs $3k, which is nothing more then a better pea bargin then the public defender can offer. It also gets you out of jail until trial. The public defendent is free, but is only intrested in pea bargining. They offer a pea bargin that will get you out in a 20 days, but you are on probation for five years and have a felon convention now. What do you do?

    Would you rather be a plunder of kiddie sex offender?


    besides in what kind of a nation that even pretends to be free if you're thrown into jail without a 'chance to explain' ie. hearing with an expert?


    A nation that is intrested in profitting from crime. The cost to keep one person in jail for a year is about $25K. There are over 2 million people in jail in American (22% of the world jail pop,btw). That means incarcerating people is a 50 Billion dollar industry!! That's not including lawyers, court cost, judges, cops, probation fees, the value of prison labor used by private companies. In fact, most states spend more to build more jail then on colleges!!


    The basic truth is there is a big money in criminalizing people. That's why if you are the one on wrong side of the law, you will get fucked. And only the o'mighty dollar will save you.

    I went the mechanic route straight out of high school. By my second year I was making close to 30k while most of my friends were broke college students. If I stuck at it for another year, I would be making 60-70k which is the same as doing IT work. There are some guys who are making almost 90k doing that line of work. The down side is you have to work 50 hours weeks for it since everything is comission based.

    I got out of it because I didn't like where the industy was going. Cars that would be repaired 10 years eariler was sent to the junk yard. Most of the work being done at service center was maintaince and the body shop was busy patching up small dents. No one really cared about the car which was depressing. I would rather work on my classic and let my dad work on other people cars.
