Well at last the American public is beginning to wake up and smell the shit of a police state in the air!!! Whether or not they've allowed it to go on for too long and it is too late to reverse things (after all - anyone can say that it is destroyed and just tuck it under another layer of secrecy!!).
Did the Americans think that the Total Information Awareness program was going to go away? Look at the discredited and felonous individual assigned to chair it all up!!! What about the Patriot Acts?? Did the Americans really think that was going to be in the best interests of "combatting" terrorism? After 9/11, it was heresy to say to an American that this might be a call to re-examine the US's foreign policy. Noam Chomsky has been an articulate and intelligent critic of the US's foreign (and increasingly domestic) policy for a good many years. What about Ralph Nader - he has shown himself to be one of the very few people in the political arena who has shown any integrity and the balls to stand up to major corporations AND be proven right and ultimately supported by the various legislature on emissions and vehicle safety!!!
The WTC and Pentagon gets bombed (although, let's face it - there is a huge amount of controversy arising about all of that as well - check out From the Wilderness for example http://www.fromthewilderness.com/ for some rather disturbing articles and connections being made) and the American public goes into a passive lead-me-by-the-hand stupor. The Americans got ass-fucked when they weren't looking and because of the primacy of the US in real politik, the rest of the world is going to slowly but surely get ass-fucked too. Yes the good old slut of a Blair government is also cowtowing to the Bush administration and apparently the UK has more CCTV cameras than any other country in the world. The UK is so paranoid about its own people it is driving a wedge between the public and itself just as the US is doing too. Guys - please - you must wake up here!!! Americans please look at what your country is doing - check out Vernon Coleman http:\\www.vernoncoleman.com - we do have to act, act together across the oceans and act sooner rather than later.
Flame me if you must - but the writing is on the wall for the emergence of the kinds of Hollywood-style futures that no-one would ever want to live in. A police state, repressive, using great reams of code to control every person's movements and associations, to drip-feed a diet of drugs (TV, music, entertainment, games, movies, celebrity-suck, and happy distractions) while it continues full steam with its ECHELON system (http://mediafilter.org/caq/echelon/ ), which when confronted by the French the US government backed away and attempted to deny its very existence and has only released very broad details of its operation.
