POLICE STATE USA
Thursday, March 09, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com

Senate Minority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) calls this Congress the "most corrupt" in history.(1) U.S. Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) often uses the term "police state" to describe our national state of affairs. George Bush is making the most expansive claims to unbridled power since America's War for Independence, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT).(2) Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who proved Bush/Cheney lied to launch us into war with Iraq, says "fascist forces have seized control of the levers of power."(3)

3. I recently saw previews for V for Vendetta. It looks really good.
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 04:11 PM by Janice325
So, I used trusty old google, and this is what just showed up as the first link:

V for VendettaThe Official website for the motion picture V for Vendetta. - Opens November 5th from Warner Bros. Pictures

I find it interesting that it shows a November 5 release. (I'm assuming it was supposed to be last year, but JMHO). I wonder why the change in release date. I'm thinking there will be much comparison between Bushco and this film. :evilgrin:
Edited to try and add the link:
vforvendetta.warnerbros.com/

6. A definite yes on comparisons
to *; one of the trailers I saw a couple of weeks ago had a scene suggesting MIHOP. Current ads don't seem to include that scene for some reason.

How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track your Every Move with Radio Frequency Identification

We speak with Liz McIntyre, author of "Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track your Every Move with RFID" that examines radio frequency identification - a technology that uses tiny computer chips to track items at distance. Major corporations are working right now to install RFIDs on all consumer products. What about in you arm? Or in your kids? We also speak with freelance journalist Annalee Newitz who recently had an RFID implanted in her arm.
"Imagine a world of no more privacy.

"Where your every purchase is monitored and recorded in a database, and your every belonging is numbered. Where someone many states away or perhaps in another country has a record of everything you have ever bought, of everything you have ever owned, of every item of clothing in your closet -- every pair of shoes. What's more, these items can even be tracked remotely. Once your every possession is recorded in a database and can be tracked, you can also be tracked and monitored remotely through the things you wear, carry and interact with every day."

"We may be standing on the brink of that terrifying world if global corporations and government agencies have their way. It's the world that Wal-Mart, Target, Gillette, Procter & Gamble, Kraft, IBM, and even the United States Postal Service want to usher in within the next ten years.

"It's the world of radio frequency identification.

"Radio frequency identification, RFID for short, is a technology that uses tiny computer chips -- some smaller than a grain of sand -- to track items at distance. If the master planners have their way, every object -- from shoes to cars -- will carry one of these tiny computer chips that can be used to spy on you without your knowledge or consent."
