Exclusive! The FBI Deputizes Business

By Matthew Rothschild, February 7, 2008

Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does—and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU. But there may be more to it than that. One business executive, who showed me his InfraGard card, told me they have permission to "shoot to kill" in the event of martial law.

1. There is an evil growing is this country and it is cloaked in
the name of protecting us - until it turns on us with a vengeance.

Wake up people...before it's too late.

3. I am worrying that that time is fast approaching.
With this super spectaclular election season, so much is slipping through the cracks. We are going to wake up one day and ask "how the hell did that just happen?"

When, in reality we've been watching develop for years.

2. Well, isn't that peachy.
Shoot to kill in event of Martial Law.

The fact that those words are used reveals that it is, at best, a worst case scenario. And at worst, a plan.

10. Giving the elites a Liberal Hunting license.
Then they deputize their goon squads to do the dirty work.

Back to the 19th. Century.

8. I checked to see if this is real...and it is very real.

The chains are tightening around our necks as we speak. The institutions of tyranny are nearly all in place.

May God help us all.

12. Has anyone read Jennifer Government?
Australian writer - the plot has the world divided into consumer regions and EVERYTHING is privatized. If you don't have enough money to pay the police, the crime you are a victim of is never investigated - etc.

Its frightening but somewhat prophetic.

14. Check out the policies you agree to comply with when you join:
at http://www.infragard.net/membership/pdfs/ipolicy.pdf

It's all about the public image.

16. Jesus...
This is worse than Stepford Wives or Tom Cruise and Scientology.

It's real. When presenting your lies in front of an inquiring press (few that there are) make sure to bring a brown shirt with you for coverage and remember ... NEVER argue with the interviewer!

That's stunning.

18. Some of this is kinda funny!
During the interview, the demeanor of the interviewee is as important as the content
of the answers. The interviewee should adhere to the following guidelines:

• Tailor answers to the expected audience and to the context of the interview.
For example, if the interview is with a local newspaper on economic
espionage, use simple sentences and basic facts to answer technical
questions
and focus answers on the benefits of InfraGard membership with
respect to economic espionage avoiding unrelated topics.

• Questions concerning sensitive information should be avoided. The
interviewer has the right to quote whatever the interviewee says, hence be on
guard for questions seeking inappropriate information.The interviewee should
NEVER argue with the interviewer.

19. So crooks like Lay, Skilling and Fastow?!?!
Business is simply organized crime in these old not so united states.

Crooks like Enrons' Skilling and Fastow could simply shoot people.

Hell, I've never even met the bums that supposedly "run" the place where I work the place is so big. To me the pasty face bastards are just a logo used to support the corporate brand.

Corporate leaders are the criminals.
