Are *you* on the enemies list?
Posted by Kat at 05:14, 13 Nov 2005White House keeps dossiers on more than 10,000 'political enemies'
Spurred by paranoia and aided by the USA Patriot Act, the Bush Administration has compiled dossiers on more than 10,000 Americans it considers political enemies and uses those files to wage war on those who disagree with its policies.
The "enemies list" dates back to Bush’s days as governor of Texas and can be accessed by senior administration officials in an instant for use in campaigns to discredit those who speak out against administration policies or acts of the President.
The computerized files include intimate personal details on members of Congress; high-ranking local, state and federal officials; prominent media figures and ordinary citizens who may, at one time or another, have spoken out against the President or Administration.
Capitol Hill Blue has spoken with a number of current and former administration officials who acknowledge existence of the enemies list only under a guarantee of confidentiality. Those who have seen the list say it is far more extensive than Richard Nixon’s famous “enemies list” of Watergate fame or Bill Clinton’s dossiers on political enemies.
"How is that you think Karl (Rove) and Scooter (Libby) were able to disseminate so much information on Joe Wilson and his wife," says one White House aide. "They didn’t have that information by accident. They had it because they have files on those who might hurt them."
White House insiders tell disturbing tales of invasion of privacy, abuse of government power and use of expanded authority under the USA Patriot Act to dig into the personal lives of anyone the administration deems an enemy of the state.

Hello Kat,
The Internet system would not be permitted unless it was as a net of would be catchment.
Any system needs controls set in place before the system is made public.
The round-up has not started yet, and of course the Skeptics are NOT listed to be roped in, for they are no threat to the system.

John, you are spot on. When you are taged, you are taged. I had 6 hour delays in my e-mail the other day....9/11. But I don't really care too much. The invisibles know where I live and what I do.
The internet was developed by the US army as a means to use the new technology of computers and modems to transferr many forms of data. Rather, I should say the protocols where developed by the US army.
The internet was an accident. BUT, an accident that was carefully designed.
A lot of skeptics are unknowenly on the payroll of the invisibles.
And the outspoken alternatives are safe too. As long as the status quo of the mis-information machine is kept.
DISCLAIMER: the opinions and veiws in this post are mine only and are not those of others or of TDG. Any similarities are by chance only.

They need to convert many of the people on their list to make their plans work; because, they don't have the brains to do it themselves. They are so comfortable with their power that they believe their own porpaganda. So, the real question is, "Who will they bring down with them when they come down?" The best thing for everybody to do is to be attentive. For example, new tax laws in the United States which reduced taxes on dividends and capital gains favor dividend paying stocks by making them more profitable than non-dividend paying growth stocks. Combine this with the fact that between 45 and 55 million baby boomers are about to retire and take their money out of the United States stock market. Add the fact that, like General Motors, many companies have improperly reported their income and, like General motors, many of them are in reality headed for bankruptcy. It is safe to say that there are going to be many problems!
What do you think!

Man if I'm on a goverment watch list , that would be really pathetic. At the end of the day for all the letters I write, pet?y@ yupgressmen I call, and peace/end the war rallies I shown up to. There are a couple million more of us and more every day. I feel like I'm trying to save the state or an ideal of that state. I want a better, healthier, and more peaceful world.
