Here’s the reality: INFO-INEQUITY! — A society with inordinate info-inequity suffers a dire form of tyranny. It ends up being a divided society, divided roughly into two classes: those who watch but cannot be watched — and those who are watched but cannot watch. For example, in my state it is illegal to make a tape recording with a concealed recorder — if you are not an “official.” If an “official” abuses their authority and causes you harm, and you surreptitiously record that event, you can be arrested if you try to use your recording as evidence! On the other hand, any “official” can secretly record anything you say or do, and it can be published or used as evidence anytime.

Do these “conservatives” who favor info-inequity think they will become the watchers, rather than the watchees? They may be in for a rude surprise. A free and democratic society cannot bear the cost of info-inequity and excessive secrecy.

@Anonymous Thank you. That helps put the pieces together. In 1990 Sarkozy was hired to work at the American investment bank Dillon, Read, & Co. and left three years later to join First Boston Corporation, where he held several senior posts. If you follow Catherine Austin Fitts, she worked at Dillon, Read, & Co during the period: My company served as lead financial advisor to the Federal Housing Administration between 1994 and 1997. I watched both the Administration and the Federal Reserve aggressively implement the policies that engineered the housing bubble.

Please leave a comment voicing your support for this idea. It is a very small price to pay considering everything that has happened in our world based on the tragic events of that fateful September morning.

Sibel, thanks again for all you do, and I couldn't help but notice Mr Feith could only muster a personal attack on you rather than challenge your story.

Weaker people are still responsibly affective in substitution for:

1. pharmaceuticals

2. confident swim apparel and

3. that arousing smell of dog shit on your way to get the morning paper.

Should we hold the Justice Department accountable for reproducing a sufficient number of offspring to carry out this necessary litigation? As an American citizen I want 20 Gold Rings for the all the unrecognized Pagan holidays on which I may possibly impregnate a member of the Justice Department. I also would like to change my last name to Bridge-Troll.

Anyway here's an interesting article: Pentagon used psychological operation on US public, documents show

Excellent post!

Love "Light" and Energy

Paranoiac ideology? Says Anon the Neocon; the same guy who a few weeks ago called Sibel a Chekist. Neoconservative ideology is rooted in Russophobia that borders on the delusional; a paranoiac ideology if there ever was one.

Paranoiac ideology. I bet you thought Saddam was in league with al-Qaeda too.

Are you seriously going to continue to come here and whine, after proving your shameful lack of testicular fortitude by failing to call Sibel’s bluff? *

* ”Call[ing] Sibel’s bluff”: Those who continue to contend that Sibel is a fabricator or a fraud can prove it by pushing for the Government to look into the files (the casefile #’s will be provided) and publicly make the case that she is full of bs.

Military.Com Cover Story
Perle, Feith, Grossman & Espionage.

Kudos to the site: they were able to get statements from these slime balls!!

http://military.com

In as much as the NSL business lacks oversight, it's constitutionality bears questioning.

But the following statement reveals an ignorance of the way the process proceeds: "over 200,000 people who have received these unconstitutional police letters and the accompanying gag orders"

In penning the Making of the Prison state Mrs. Edmond's is playing the shill of the ACLU.

Further proof that besides the lack of common sense by the authorities in gagging Mrs. Edmonds, there is a paranoiac ideology underlying most of what Mrs. Edmond's has to share with us.

5% is fact, 95% is distorted ideology.

International Arms Trafficker Viktor Bout May Be Released

They needed a galvanizing event, like say another Pearl Harbor type incident to shove that down out throats.

Which came on 9/11.

Fables And Other Realities

The Futuristic Police State

I'm still figuring this HTML stuff out so bear with me.

Fascism: The convergence of corporate and government power.

I read a news report today that said Russia is now seeking to emulate China as an authoritarian capitalist state. It seems Fascism is the coming wave for all governments. Is the use of NSLs anything other than our own government's latest tactic to also emulate China? All this is to me is another example of Total Information Awareness by another name. As Shakespeare wrote:

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Now consider my perspective. I HAVE worked on nuclear weapons. I HAVE been to places like Iran, Morocco and Pakistan. I HAVE worked in the belly of the telecommunications beast. I HAVE a left-wing/progressive/socialist mindset. Is it any wonder I have been unemployed for three years?

The key thing to note about our new, futuristic police state is that all of this information being gathered on all of us will NOT be compartmentalized within government. It WILL be shared with corporate security regimes. Ultimately it will be ONE large database on all of us and used by the national security/corporate/police state to identify and neutralize any perceived threat to it's hegemony and control. It's Cheney's 1% doctrine used against all of us. Only worldwide fascism aka the Corporate Totalitarian State will provide the Ruling elites with the information power to maintain their privelege. As John Trudell says above:

In wars for souls, Profits are in casualties.

Medical records and finances are another story though. I do expect those things to remain private. Obviously, so do most people judging from the recent uproar about the healthcare legislation.

So I'll try really hard to not list things that you've already heard a million times.

Just after these NSL's became law I called my mutual fund companies to find out how this could potentially affect me. In each case I literally went from the first level customer service people up to senior management. And every time it was shocking how little (or nothing) they knew about this.

I politely pointed out the obvious. Since you're a well-known firm with a wide range of clients, isn't in your best interest (good company pr and keeping your job?) to know as much about this as possible?

All I got was corporate talking points, we're too busy, how the hell am I supposed to do that with my current work load, etc? For a second I was tempted to just pull my accounts and go elsewhere. Now though (for various reasons) that's not an option.

Now, since millions of us obviously care about this, how come there's no action? Part of it (IMO) is everybody for themselves. At first there might be a united front which can be effective (done in the right way). But I've lived in Europe and Asia. I've traveled quite a bit. And in all of these places, I've seen the same thing. When push comes to shove, people will do and say anything to survive. Add to that the curent govt. hyping we must protect the homeland. We must kill all the terrorists. Anything to manipulate fear to justify their wars, programs and jobs.

Why won't millions act? Fear and laziness. My life sucks in many ways. But at least I'm not homeless. I still have my job. So I'll keep my mouth shut and go along. Out of sight and out of mind.

Has Obama overturned any of Bush II's Exectuive Orders? Not I know of. The Patriot Act is still in place. Obama says we'll wait on sending further troops to Afghanistan until there's a "stable partner." Translation: Our puppet Kharzai is messing up. But we have no one else to put in his place. So we'll spin this however we have to for as long as we have to to justify our presence. We must not lose face.

Not sure what else to say right now. So time to go to work. So I don't end up homeless again.

If I had to place myself on a political continuum, I'd locate myself pretty far to the left. But I'm not somebody who lets others off the hook for wearing the same jersey as I do. What I have noticed, though, particularly among Republicans and conservatives in my own family, is that there is absolutely ZERO outrage re: the Patriot Act. One would think that with a Democratic President, these folks would change their position from zero outrage to being outraged that a Dem. President is using these powers. Nope. In fact, I often get shouted down for bringing up the Patriot Act, loss of liberties, and surveillance generally. I don't know if it's because the program began under Bush or not. All that I know is that all of the people I know who are centrists or right-of-center are very much cool with being spied on. Those on the left that I know are still pissed off about it, and view the Dem. leadership as a bunch of traitors. Obama was excused by many for flip-flopping during the Presidential campaign on the Patriot Act. Everyone thought that he had to do it in order to be seen as a candidate who took national security seriously. The thought was that if he maintained his anti-Patriot Act stance, it would be politically suicidal at that point in the campaign–that Americans whose heads had been filled to the brim with propaganda re: "keeping America safe" would see him as weak on nat'l security if he positioned himself against the Patriot Act. The truth, of course, is not only are our freedoms and liberties being trampled by having this apparatus aimed at us, but it makes us exceedingly less safe b/c it necessarily means that our spy agencies are wasting valuable time and resources by focusing on us.
