"...some projects from retired Adm. John Poindexter's Total Information Awareness effort were transferred to U.S. intelligence offices..."

3. I hate the way our country is run.........into the ground.

They raise hell in congress for the c-span crowd. Everyone jumps up and down and boasts what a good job their Senator is doing. But when the cameras are turned off they do what they were going to do anyway. Hello....Wake Up, it's all bs, it is daytime drama.

4. They use that broadest of brushes-national security,

and then, sure enough, they just trash our Constitution and Bill of Rights some more with the top secret stamp of approval:argh:

ABB.

5. Was that the one with the creepy eye in the pyramid logo?

I hope someone saved it. And I thank the Bush White House for giving us another weapon to beat them with.

6. The Memory Hole's got you covered!

Here's the logo, in all its creepy glory:

7. This story only confirms what we already knew.

Bushevik fucks don't take "no" for an answer and EVERYTHING they've been "told no" on (and that's damned few things indeed) has "reopened under another name.

It's just one of the many reasons to hate the Chimposter as the morally bankrupt tyrant that he is.

I didn't even need to see this to know that Total Information Awareness was still going on.

Like I didn't need a Nazi Press Release to know concentration camps were for the murder of political prisoners.

Like I didn;t need a Soviet Press Release to know that Gulags existed.

Like I didn;t need the Mafia to make a press release telling me they were still around and "pursuing relevant projects".

All these organizations belong to the same sub-group as the "kinder and gentler" (for the moment) Busheviks.

Of course TIA is still going on. What will ahppen the day the truth stops leaking out...even in little mouse-squeaks like this one?

Look to the actions of other, similar organizations, when they felt utterly free of the threat of exposure or reprisal.

9. Check out this project to mess with the atmosphere: H.A.A.R.P. scary!!

HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other U.S. military documents put it more clearly -- HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes."

>snip<

HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an "ionospheric heater." (The ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere. It ranges between 40 to 60 miles above the surface of the Earth.)
Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antenna send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead.

World-recognized scientist MacDonald had a number of ideas for using the environment as a weapon system and he contributed to what was, at the time, the dream of a futurist. When he wrote his chapter, "How To Wreck The Environment," for the book Unless Peace Comes, he was not kidding around. In it he describes the use of weather manipulation, climate modification, polar ice cap melting or destabilization, ozone depletion techniques, earthquake engineering, ocean wave control and brain wave manipulation using the planet's energy fields.

He also said that these types of weapons would be developed and, when used, would be virtually undetectable by their victims. Is HAARP that weapon?
