Is up tonight putting together a proposal for Obama to fund a multi billion $$$ investment to place surveillance cameras in every suburb/major city to be able to pier in to our privacy as much as they possibly can short of having video cameras in our homes.

Look for TSA to be expanded in to sports arenas and at public events.... this folks will be the start of the next great fleece of our country's money. Some corporation stands to profit big time.

Report: London no safer for all its CCTV cameras

London is considered the most spied-on city in the world, courtesy of its ubiquitous CCTV cameras, purportedly there to reduce crime. But according to a recent report, there's been little or no change in London's crime rates since they were more widely installed in the mid 1980s.

BBW estimates there are now some 51,000 police-run cameras watching British citizens in urban areas, not including private cameras or cameras situated in other public buildings like train stations or bus depots.

A common figure cited is a total 4.2 million cameras across Britain based on a working paper published in 2002 by academics Michael McCahill and Clive Norris, but research last year by Cheshire Police puts the figure closer to 1.85 million.

All cell service being block at any future Occupy protests, as well. And we will not call this Terrorism; the public needs to know that there are domestic "evil doers" here that must be dealt with.
I noticed on cnn that someone at the press conference asked if this was a false flag, intended to be used as an excuse to strip us of our rights.

They said "no".

Thank God.....
