The Gloves Are Off Of The Military Industrial Complex
Tim Shorrock

A new intelligence institution to be inaugurated soon by the Bush administration will allow government spying agencies to conduct broad surveillance and reconnaissance inside the United States for the first time. Under a proposal being reviewed by Congress, a National Applications Office (NAO) will be established to coordinate how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and domestic law enforcement and rescue agencies use imagery and communications intelligence picked up by U.S. spy satellites. If the plan goes forward, the NAO will create the legal mechanism for an unprecedented degree of domestic intelligence gathering that would make the United States one of the world's most closely monitored nations. Until now, domestic use of electronic intelligence from spy satellites was limited to scientific agencies with no responsibility for national security or law enforcement.

3. When are we going to stop lying to our kids? When are we going to

throw out their school books?

'They hate us for our freedoms'.

The United States under Republican and some Democratic leadership is changing this country into something worse than all the 'isms joined.

Orwell's projection is their God.

With our own unique spin - the corporations and self-proclaimed people controllers are known to us and we let our elected leaders do it to us.

Tell me again how this nation is superior to every other nation on the earth.

The black shirts are coming and the ovens are being built.

Why build all this just to look at printouts of activity and store them?
