3. Thanks , now sounds pretty damn scary doesn't it ?
It seems that everything has a catch and a criminal organization behind it where we have no real over sight of control at all . I think of blaCK WATER and the criminal bush admin all holding us under control and we have no idea who and how big this is .


Who can you trust and where will this take us in the near future , I don't even want to think about it right now .

2. Intel has been heavily privatized...
Example: NSA or CIA 'needs' some domestic 'information' that they are 'technically' not allowed to gather. They pay some mega-database company, like say, ChoicePoint, to 'gather' the data and 'provide' it to them under black contract. The CIA is NOT allowed to 'work' inside the US, but they can pay for information from a private vendor...

Sorry I don't have a link, read it in one of Robert Baer's books.
