Nixon an excellent president????? He was a crook --- nothing to debate about that, the facts, and his "problems" (please recall his petty tax crimes, etc.) leave nothing to dispute. The difference was that Nixon was a petty crook --- whereas this group in power are a gang of SUPER CRIMINALS, again, nothing to debate on that matter. If and when any of us are targeted, we all will be spied upon by the government and their lackeys. TIA is up, fully functional, and running, dude!
While I would normally agree with you, if I believed the official conspiracy story on what transpired on 9/11/01. But, of course, I don't --- and since a basic criminal investigation never, I repeat, NEVER, took place --- on what do you base your SYMBOLIC ATTACKS supposition?????
Personally I could care less if the NSA wants to spy on everyone. Good luck with that. I have nothing to hide.
One finds oneself always responding to this trite, know-nothing statement of the ignorant. So let me put it as concisely and pithily as possible:
If no one decides to frame you, or try to embarrass you by mentioning what you viewed on the hotel (or your own home) pay-per-view, then the biggest thing you have to fear is ID theft: With all these commercial databases now contracted to the government [which makes up Total Information Awareness], there is far greater possibility of ID theft, and once stolen, far greater chance some criminal - WITH YOUR IDENTITY - will have a warrant put out on them. Lots of luck pal, I've been there - and it's one hell of a nightmare!!!
Roger Penrose (brilliant British physicist) already addressed this - and that fMRI study of individual cells responding to visual stimuli almost a year ago - supports his contention:
namely, the neuron is NOT the smallest component of cognition in the human brain, but the tubular dimer is,
ergo, this lame project will work about as good as that other and similar lame project tried some years ago.
Government WILL wind up with huge amounts of information about us, and the technological means to filter it....Over the next couple of decades, that theory will increasingly become fact.
No offense, guy, but you're kind of behind the times here.
Ever heard of NSA, NGA, ChoicePoint???? Acxiom??? TransCore??? Applied Data Solutions (and their guys with phony doctorates)???? Carlyle Group and it's parent organization, the Blackstone Group???? RFIDs...and the companies which manufacture them???? Know who owns Trenstar (they would be the RFID guys having to do with container shipping)????? Ever heard of the US-Oman Free Trade Agreement, which the House will soon vote on (and I'm quite sure, pass) which will make it legal for foreign governments and foreign corporations to own America's most senstive infrastructure; shipping ports and utilities??? The time for any political action was long ago.
Frankly, the most sought after tech types in 2010 will be in China, India, Russia, Vietnam, and so on. I follow the numbers and can do the math. Also, this goes against the grain of hiring at places like M$, that have popularized the idea of primarily hiring fresh college grads....
That is the logical outcome of people being mandated to wear/use RFIDs. (Please refer back to my earlier post.)
And once that new extradition law fully goes into effect (the one between the UK and the USA, which is now being used to extradite those two British bankers who were involved in that Enron thing), said rules will also apply to Americans!!!
For those who don't believe me, just peruse the fine print on that treaty...
I think this goes a bit deeper than that - one has to examine the overall pattern. The Dept. of Homeland Security is pushing human chipping - or some form of RFIDing - on "guest workers" - the DOD (and its military contractors) is pushing chipping - or some form of RFIDing - on military personnel to replace dog tags -- and there are various other examples.
Next, one should examine who owns these RFID firms (Hint: with the one exception of Savi Technology --- owned by Lockheed Martin, the largest military contractor --- the major players in the RFID field can be traced to two, that's just two, private equity firms - and one of the two appears to be so financially interlocked with the other, it is most likely owned by the other --- so we're looking at one private bank here, guys. The end result could be awesome financial and business intelligence.
Help stop the Oman Free Trade Agreement, it will offshore more jobs, make legal the foreign ownership of senstive American infrastructure, and aid and abet a premier human trafficker on this planet!!!
Hold it!!! I don't understand!! What about all those millions of chips Intel was going to sell to the Chinese??
And speaking of which, whatever became of all those millions of toothbrushes the Chinese were supposed to buy --- according to that crack American corporate management???
And those cost savings from offshoring soooo many American jobs....and importing soooo many H-1Bs, H-2Bs, H-2Cs, L-1s, J-1s, O-1s, etc., etc., etc.???
Just which section of DHS do you work in???? BTW, the reason everything is suspect today about the federal government under the present Bush Administration - is because so far they've lied about everything. Otherwise, the majority would take it at face value....
Looking back at how things unfolded on 9/11, it would have been highly beneficial to have system in place to alert officials of what was happening. It is amazing how much lag there was between the time we suspected we were under attack and when all the airlines found out and began issuing orders to their pilots.
Wow!!! Where to begin. Perhaps you should just join the military, then work in a classified government (before all those jobs have been outsourced to BushCO, of course) agency to understand that that all these systems HAVE been in place for quite a few years --- but strangely enough they weren't working that day - and that very confusing exercise of the airborne attack (via airplane) against the NRO facilities that coincidentally occurred on 9/11/01 really threw people off???? Right.... And having served at the SAAM Command Post at nearby Andrews AFB (now they'e called ops centers) eons ago, they've always had fighter jets that can be immediately scrambled to protect Washington, D.C. airspace - excepting on that one fateful day, of course!
Evidence - perhaps you've enough intelligence and knowledge to have noted that the most preliminary of criminal investigations never, ever even took place.
I'm not going to even bother deconstructing that most half-ass of whitewashes - the "9/11 Commission Report" - when even the one bit of evidence they uncovered --- that those puts on those airlines and some of the high-end firms residing in the attacked towers --- did not lead back to Osama but to an American investment firm (which claimed didn't know who placed those puts - which said old, established firm ONLY accepts private - money up front - accounts) is evidence in and of itself. Sadly, the only evidence "uncovered" by the government to date.....(had you any knowledge of higher-level hacking, you'd be aware that one can post through a circuitous route of numerous systems and isps, making tracing exceedlingly, although not impossible...
Junior engineer???? I'll bet that's news to a lot of folks formerly there. Welch's rules were:
offshore as many jobs as possible - starting in 1985 onwards; continue making crappy products all through the '90s, and take the money and run (while, of course, cannibalizing GE).
Two questions: anyone read the bios on him where he missed some really big possibilities at GE - because he was a biz exec from the getgo??? Also, why did those execs that surrounded him for so long always end up getting busted in public washrooms at highway stops???? Just wondering....
Bravo and well said - and yes, there are simply far too many "dumbed down" - highly ignorant people in the US today, especially beginning with all those fake newsies out there - who blithely report that misinformation they claim to be the news, while keeping completely ignorant of the news.
Case in point: several years ago, Cokie Roberts on that Sunday morning national news program, made a stupid and silly joke about "black helicopters" and the "black helicopter crowd." Just one week prior, the Pentagon held a news conference, apologizing for their screwup in Memphis, Tennessee, several days earlier. Seems the Army's Special Activity Group -- without contacting the mayor or governor -- had performed a simulated attack on the business section of Memphis (using their normal black-painted helicopters - mostly Apaches, I believe) and causing such an uproar the mayor phoned the national guard, believing them to be under terrorist attack. They also mentioned that they had held such simulated attack games in 23 cities over the past 5 years. "Black helicopter crowd, my American a**.
Such incidents can be reported on a daily basis. These all stem from highly overpaid, insipid, airheaded newsies (there are a few, very few exceptions) but a nation this size cannot depend upon those very few..
Just the other week, the failure of the US Congress - having given themselves consecutive payraises over the preceding 8 years - did vote down a raise in the national minimum wage rate - which should, if still tied to production as it used to be - would justifiably be over $20.00 today. That should have been front page news of EVERY major newspaper in the USA, but of course it wasn't....and given the national record of wrongfully jailing people in this country -- from both prosecutorial incompetence, corrupt police and FBI behaviors -- why would ANYBODY possible believe that the US would correctly and ethically jail people on the sayso of Pakistani, Afghani bounty hunters!!*^#&*
Next you'll be saying that isn't it peculiar that this Bush fellow went after Iraq for WMDs while some nutbag in North Korea keeps lobbing WMDs at us and Bush keeps ignoring him!!!!!
With that kind of logic, I'll have to start actually thinking again --- and that just makes my poor widdle head hurt.....
Actually, I used to have a listing of these sites - I'll look around to see if I still have it (but I stopped checking them out after I realized 9/11/01 attacks happened with a lot of inside help).
But please note that as the elections of 2006 get closer --- we are being bombarded with more and more of these "attempted attacks" - just like that one in Liberty City section of Miami (you know, the one where those street punks didn't even have enough money for busfare to get to North Miami...).
I wish people wouldn't feel sorry for the guy - he died in the typical manner the superwealthy die today --- living the good life in Aspen, in bed with two high-priced hookers and a ton of Viagra....
[The State Dept. should send Rush Limpbaugh to Pyongyang, North Korea, with a shipment of Viagra to help the Premier get his missile to rise....or am I thinking of Bill O'Reilly????]
While I don't claim to be a legal expert - I do know bits and pieces of the law.
Wasn't this already decided by that case that orginally caused the breakup of AT&T into the Baby Bells --- the lawsuits brought by Carterfone and MCI after AT&T tried to muscle them out of the industry by pulling their longlines?????
God Bless you for stating the obvious (to those of us with any technoid experience, that is) - which may not be so obvious to the masses and needed to be stated --- and is there anyone out there who has any faith in those zany Feebs of the FBI????
Considering those monkeys' track record over the preceding 20 years, perhaps they should stick with Opus Dei and that Vatican code thingy.....
