Dots, dots, everywhere
Note to the reader: you can google each of these points for verification.

Confirmed - Identity and personal data theft has been escalating for a few years.
Confirmed – Identity and data theft at governmental offices underway and escalating.
Confirmed - NSA has been listening to all domestic telephone calls for the last five years.
Confirmed - NSA has been watching all internets activity for last ?? years.
Confirmed – Treasury & DOJ have been sifting through pretty much all banking data for the last five years.
Confirmed – FBI has been spying on peace groups and other dissenters for the last ?? years.
Confirmed – DOD created double super-secret military agency (CIFA) to spy on Americans four years ago.
Confirmed – US Army pushed through a rapid update to AR 210-35 (Civilian Inmate Labor Program) on Jan. 14, 2005.
Confirmed – Halliburton awarded contract to build ‘detention’ camps on military installations.
Confirmed – US developing crowd control and non-lethal weaponry at a furious pace.
Confirmed – US now developing the next generation of nuclear weapons.
Confirmed – Real time (camera & drones) spying technology deployment escalating in metropolitan areas.
Confirmed – US government plans 10-lane NAFTA superhighway from Mexico to Canada.


You get the idea. If the government knows who you talk to, where you visit on the internets, the contents of your email, and what you spend you money on:

Why are groups like the Weathermen still around?
Why isn’t corporate malfeasance detected and prosecuted? (rhetorical question)
What is the real purpose of US immigration policy for the last five years?
Why are the internets still functional?

I’m guessing most of the pieces are in place. What will the next revelation going to be? Will the Constitution or Bill of Rights be officially invalidated? Will there be a roundup of dissidents and other undesirables? Will there be a Coronation?

Whaddayathink? Have I fallen off the edge into woowoo-land?

1. Yeah, a tad woowooish. You have complete pricks in charge, but
money is more important than morality or anything else.

However, doesn't mean they won't try anything they can. If gitmo suicides were treated like that, your government will have no qualms about dirtier-than-political-norm tricks to keep in office.

2. Loss of rights - we should take your list and follow it with a
list of all the ways we have lost our rights:

Confirmed - Congress refuses to renew voting rights law
Confirmed - Congress refuses to raise minimum wate.
- to get started.

Then, follow that list with another about Repub corruption scandals.

Followed by ways the laws of the land are being ignored and reversed.

Lists are excellent - so easy to pass on to busy people, particularly all those good parents out there who are run ragged tending to their kids and jobs and those who don't have what we have to learn from.

There is something about the visual value of a list for its practical value, its impact, and its easy distribution.

The Republican cannot make a similar list on Dems unless it is their usual way to attack - i.e., ridiculing the physical person and repeating tired lies about our liberal tv news and newspapers and our heathen ways.

Anotther list that would be helpful for our busy people would contain all the links and sources - fstv link tv, The Nation, Air America, the new newspaper that is starting up.

4. Add the NAU to your list
I know, I know...it's Jerome Corsi. Which is pretty much the sole reason why I'd initially dismissed the information until it was confirmed elsewhere. But this is really starting to get a lot of play. Even over in Israel.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=105318
Goodbye USA, Hello North American Union? ...If You're Not Scared, You Should Be
Jerome R. Corsi PhD, tells us what is waiting for the American People by the year 2010. Bush signed an agreement last year with Mexico and Canada to merge into a North American Union (NAU) similar to the European Union. The USA will be subject to a new 'Umbrella Government' that will call the shots and erode U.S. sovereignty. Could this be why Bush has been stalling on sealing the southern border of the USA with Mexico? How dies this affect Israel? Startling news you must hear and research yourself.
