Choicepoint/ theft of Vet's info connection?
Is it possible that this theft of Vet information is a big lie? It seems to me that the government would want this info to put into their Total Information gathering data bases. Could they have made this up to get their hands on the info or should I put my foil hat away? Maybe Choicepoint is involved somehow?

3. Another Choice Point theft, as far as I'm concerned.

8. I met Donna Curling once
Edited on Tue May-23-06 06:42 PM by peacetheonlyway
she is wife of the Pres. of Choicepoint/Doug Curling...
He may still be under SEC investigation for selling stock shortly after he knew his company had compromised hundreds or thousands of identities...

she is an emotional mess... I pity her....

the Curlings are a very scary example of how normal law abiding Americans become criminals when they see the kind of CEO paycheck in front of them.. I think of Donna as Carmela Soprano... part of the mob..

I would avoid both people like the plague.. and I know Donna likes to pretend she's a democrat....

their company has more information than you can even imagine...

why would they need vets name/address/homephone/SS# when they also have the last 2000 phone calls made, etc. remember Choicepoint feeds DB data to and from diff. police departments. so they have very detailed databases covering all aspects of American's lives from financial to criminal to driving record, etc....

and Doug learns all about the activists who hate his company, including about Palast who wrote a wonderful scathing account of Choicepoint in his first book, from Donna who goes out and gives money to people like VoteTrust USA, and the DNC, etc....

sometimes we democrats are naive to the rats around us.....

4. OH sweetie..
choicepoint already has all the data you can't imagine how much data they already have,

they need not go to such great lengths for this...

no, more like an employee Fuck up and then a 19 day cover up on part of GOV...

now just like choicepoint , the gov is responsible for causing identity theft....

but I don't see the pot calling the tea kettle black.....

person who took the disc home was to get paid off and now he's going to cry a la Cunningham. But it's too late. And in the future, some widows or widowers are going to get cheated by a government advisor or a Halliburton contracted company set up to 'take care of' the benefits of vets and some vet is going to lose out on the perfect job because of data in the records.

They are buying and selling us. When you think about it - we are too many to attempt to brianwash totally, so they brainwash us to the best of their ability and then they lock it down by using their law and their theft of all our rights.

7. I have to wonder....
we checked with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service
(where our retired military pay records are kept) and they weren't too
fussed, and told us not to worry.

Here's the toll free number for any DU vets out there:

800-321-1080

9. Aspen Hill has a large transient population and high crime for Mont County
I'm not surprised at all at someone's home being broken into in that area. I'd bet whoever stole the laptop didn't even know it was worth any more than what they could fence it for until the story was picked up by the media.
