From: Pubkeybreaker on 18 Apr 2008 19:40 same time as the C.S. gas: failed to figure out a way, yet proceeded. [After someone "talked" to her.] Senator: Did the FBI consider delivering Avalon fire-retardant gas? Reno/FBI: No, how could we deliver it without getting shot? It's called running another tube out the tank turret, just as was done for delivering the highly flammable chemical-weapons grade tear gas in the first place. Use another tank if necessary. It was that simple. "We did not know the complex was on fire at first, but we started smelling smoke. We didn't know what to do. We were afraid that if we came out of the building, we would be shot. All of a sudden, the smoke came. I couldn't see my husband any more." After the whole thing was over, the BATF raised its own flag over the ruins. Burn baby burn. 80 men, woman and children. The official FBI fire plan [their own C-SPAN testimony], which they followed, was letting them burn. Janet "Barbecue" Reno. Who testified she would do nothing different again. You want to take "responsibility" for it: then resign. Law enforcement gun hysteria. Like a scene from a nightmarish movie [such as Terry Gilliam's Brazil] the Feds, while poking holes in the building with a tank snout and spraying dangerous amounts of toxic tear gas, and while knocking down extended areas of the compound (as shown and commented on by ABC news) with another tank in the rear, blared 1984 Newspeak over loudspeakers at the hapless victims: "THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK. REPEAT THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK." ****************************************************************************** War #3 - Child Pornography --- -- ----- ----------- "

the computer filters it out again. Since this is your second time, your name moves from the "possible" to the "probable" file. Sound absurd? Not at all; it actually happened while I was at CSE. [snip] SIGINT specialists are honing their skills at monitoring digital information. SIGINT agencies everywhere are increasingly throwing their surveillance web over the Internet and other data networks of interest. [snip] Mini-recap: o The countries sharing intelligence: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand o Massive domestic spying by the NSA, using an Orwellian "1984" technology to search all communications using computers, including domestic phone calls, via keyword searches. o Circumvention of domestic spy laws via friendly "foreign" agents ****************************************************************************** Wow. How chilling to think the military has set up a real-life domestic Orwellian spy apparatus. Used repeatedly for political purposes.
