I see some for sure'."

A large multi-departmental group of federal and county agents stormed the
house, and shot the male owner to death.

The widow continues to live there.

Before moving in, law enforcement had the property appraised for its value.

Eventually, the county admitted it wanted the property.

This is our Drug War for national security reasons.

The government now says it regrets calling it a Drug War.

Then appointed a retired Military General as Drug Czar.

Drug Czar William Bennett was an active nicotine addict until his first day
of work. The ONLY reason he quit smoking was because it would have been
politically incorrect to smoke while leading the War on Drugs.

THEN SAYS we need Key Recovery so we can read their traffic!

Even the NSA is talking Doublethink at us:

WE ARE NOW AT AN HISTORICAL CROSSROAD ON THE ENCRYPTION ISSUE.

IF PUBLIC POLICY MAKERS ACT WISELY, THE SAFETY OF ALL AMERICANS WILL
BE ENHANCED FOR DECADES TO COME.

We are losing it piece by piece.

Collect biometric information from everyone...

I don't know any terrorists or foreign agents.

But the government seems to know plenty of people who are terrorists.

That makes at least five people at a minimum!

What the hell is going on???

IF the rumor is true, THIS looks like it would be the smoking gun.

How did our country get so twisted around that they can invade our
bodies to drug test, yet allow truck after truck after truck to
just wander right in knowing HUGE drug shipment after HUGE drug
shipment is crossing? Gosh, there's no drug problem with Mexican
police, military and even their president.

can insidiously enter your life: Qubilah Shabazz was seduced.
Like Bill Murray elaborately seducing Andie MacDowell in 'Groundhog Day'
they can enter your life in an almost unconscious manner. Informants
manage to connect to criminals by running into them in the right place,
saying the right things.

It's the 1990s now:
Only, as we have seen, informants connecting to criminals means the FBI
targeting Randy Weaver WHO HAD NO CRIMINAL RECORD for blackmail. Anyone
can be made a criminal in the monitoring net. Or seduced into a "crime",
like Qubilah Shabazz. Without you realizing it, the person you met was
taking advantage of knowing all your most passionate likes and dislikes.

It is INSANE to design our systems for government monitoring.
