The MATRIX, The Prequel (How It All Began...)
Having to take your shoes off and being cavity-searched at the airport while flying to see your aunt in Altoona is now the least of your worries. Oh, and you should also get accustomed to it.0 comments
Meet Big Brother: John Poindexter and the Iran Contra Reunion Tour
As many of you know, John Poindexter is one of the many Ronald Reagan-era slimes who were up to their asses in the illegalities of Iran-Contra mess who got off scot-free, were conveniently pardoned or did country-club jail time, and who have popped up again to serve our country in the administration of George W. Bush.
To this juncture, Bush can correctly assert, "I am not a crook! -- But my friends are!" But his window for being able to say this is quickly closing.
James "The Fixer" Baker, Shadow President Dick Cheney, mega-sleaze Richard Perle, Secretary of Torture Donald Rumsfeld and John Negroponte (who oversaw the Death Squads of Honduras in the 'Eighties) are all Iran-Contra-mates who are now happily part of George's political family.
In case you've been busy watching "Survivor" or Fox News, or somesuch, here are a couple of sites to bring you up to speed:

Who is John Poindexter?
and info about Poindexter's Information Awareness Office in the Pentagon (complete with disavowed logo):

OK.
Now that you're up-to-speed on the background to our story, let me run this by you—the administration's latest squirrelly attempt to turn you into chattel:Red Pill or Blue Pill?
What if I were to tell you a far-fetched story about a wealthy drug smuggler from Boca Raton, Florida named Hank Asher, who was incensed after the WTC & Pentagon were whacked and set out on a crusade to "save America"?
And what if Hank took all the drug money he had and created a database with all the personal information he had on thousands of unsuspecting people from various commercial datatbases he could hack into, and cross-referenced it with criminal records he obtained from cop friends of his, and created something beyond John Poindexter's wild imaginings?
What if I then told you he gained Florida Governor Jeb Bush as a mentor, who set up the system for the police in his state, then fast-tracked this drug dealer's "anti-terrorism" plan straight into the Roosevelt Room of the White House home of a close family member?
What if this family member's flaks, assistants and supporting players, such as Shadow President Dick Chaney, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III and then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary-disignate Tom Ridge fell all over themselves while watching a demo of this toy in action? Complete with Ridge elbowing Cheney in the ribs in excitement?
What if I said these men were jumping and drooling over this toy because it contained long reports on a screen which included names, addresses, driver license photos, any links to associates and the person's ethnicity?
And what if I said these guys squeezed an $8 million "cooperative agreement" out of the DHS budget to link this drug dealer's toy to the police departments of Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, with more on the way?
You'd say I was nuts, right? Maybe, paranoic?
Au contraire.
You can't make this shit up!
