buying something from Verizon in Hawaii last year. Is this the same deal or something else? Hmmm, why Hawaii?

And then they're going to turn us slowly but surely into a one party country. Them.

6. They Thought They Were Getting a Deal
because Verizon overloaded on debt buying cellular liscences. I know, I work for Verizon and I was pissed that the company would destroy its balance sheet that way. Now it's selling off assets. The Carlyle Group wants the cash flow. However, local phone revenues are not growing. Hawaii has a pretty restrictive public service commission -- they're almost the last holdout blocking unlimited long-distance packages. The Carlyle Group obviously saw value there. I hope they've been taken.

10. Because you can hack into phone lines and manipulate data .....
..... that way. In Ohio Kerry's lines, computers, and a voter protection # were all hacked into. If you own the lines it is easier to do the dirty work. You own the lines .... then they are secured. Somehow and or someway we have to expose and beat these shits they are evil.

12. Also how about all the trans Pacific data and communications ......
..... that flow through there. It all has to do with power, evil, and greed. I prey I live to see the day that those Neo Con shits are brought to justice. Make them drink some of that oil that was paid for in blood.
