When will the policy makers step forward and establish an agency for LIBERTY? Well, as any sincere observer of public affairs knows, government doesn’t have the ability to give you what you already possess – your natural rights. Their function is always to strip you from the means to effectively guard and easily exercise your freedoms. The latest, and surely not the last attempt to regiment society under the dominion of the all seeing eye, is exactly what we have in the Information Awareness Office.
Under the auspices of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the central research and development organization for the Department of Defense (DoD), emerges the uncovered IOA project, designed to gather intelligence through electronic sources like the internet, phone, and fax lines. Why would anyone be concerned about the military protecting the government, isn’t it a defense function to spy on our enemies? Well, maybe that is exactly the point. Note the “our” in this formula of tracking down insubordinates, just happens to be “US”, the citizens of our own country.
When you have a climate where the New York Times reports that the Justice Department acts to use new power in terror inquiries, just what can you expect from those within the ‘spook’ culture? Listen to what the ‘paper of record’ says about the IOA office:
“The Pentagon is constructing a computer system that could create a vast electronic dragnet, searching for personal information as part of the hunt for terrorists around the globe — including the United States. As the director of the effort, Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter, has described the system in Pentagon documents and in speeches, it will provide intelligence analysts and law enforcement officials with instant access to information from Internet mail and calling records to credit card and banking transactions and travel documents, without a search warrant.”
Now we come to the man behind this proposal, the ignoble retired Navy Admiral – John Poindexter. You remember him, the infamous protector who was convicted in the wake of the Reagan administration’s Iran-Contra scandal of five felony counts of lying to Congress, destroying official documents and obstructing a congressional investigation into the matter. The convictions were overturned on appeal. No surprise here – we all know who the courts work to insulate from justice . . .
Who could forget this little gem from Poindexter during a congressional hearing:
“[It is] not fair to say that I have misinformed Congress or other Cabinet officers. I haven’t testified to that. I’ve testified that I withheld information from Congress. And with regard to the Cabinet officers, I didn’t withhold anything from them that they didn’t want withheld from them.”
Surely, this attitude makes him more than qualified to guard the secrets – YOUR secrets – privacy is no longer required in this age of terrorism, the STATE must protect itself from the likes of you and me!
Don’t believe that’s the objective, than just look closely at the symbol on the IOA logo. What do we have, that familiar Illuminati all seeing eye . . . It has been around for centuries, just look at a dollar bill, before it is retired from circulation. Most have been taught that it is just a representation of the eye of God, and not that “Eye of Horus” or the “All-Seeing Eye“. You judge for yourselves. There surely, can’t be anything sinister about an office that has a goal of total domestic surveillance? Only the paranoid have to worry, we all know we can trust the government . . .
As the frog swims comfortably in the warm waters of the national pool of security, no one would dare question the motives of the bureaucracy, especially one that has the charge of Total Information Awareness. The assurance of Pete Aldridge, the chief of technology for the Defense Department will allow your sleep to go on undisturbed: “It is absurd to think that DARPA is somehow trying to become another police agency.” Homeland Security is now the priority, right? What possible fear could citizens have about a government that openly places the watching oculus symbol on the very money we use to sustain life? Poindexter is an officer and a gentleman, he will do a good job and collect all the intelligence needed to complete the task and win the war. But what war is really being fought?
Alan Morrison in THE MEANING OF FREEDOM looks at it this way:
“It matters not a jot whether a Democrat or Republican is in the Presidency. The outcome of elections are merely the result of social manipulation. “Democracy” is simply the freedom of the people to vote for their next dictator (who is actually only a figurehead for those who really rule)! Of course, Americans are very proud of their country; which is why they cannot accept these things. But their country is not at all what it may seem to them. National pride so easily enshrouds truth.”
The Information Awareness Office has an accurate name to confer comfort. When will the public begin their own rescue from the boiling pond of this deceptive security and confront their own comprehension? Or will that task be left to all the Poindexter’s who will inform them of what they understand and should know about being an American? The mere fact that this ‘made man’ is so willing to follow orders should give you pause: “It’s how do we harness with technology the street smarts of people on the ground, on a global scale . . . mission is to develop the technology, not the policy. It would be up to Congress and policymakers to debate the issue and establish the limits that would make the system politically acceptable.” Why worry about the Illuminati controlling society when you already have the likes of military men who are willing to fall on their swords to protect their masters? Or is it as simple as there is no difference between the legend and the reality! IOA will be watching you and wants to know your answer . . .
