Where Big Brother Snoops on Americans 24/7

Customers of the Bank of America branch at 3625 Fairfax Drive in Arlington, Virginia, often wonder about the Arlington police car that is always parked in front of the building in the next block.
They also can’t help but notice the two armed guards from the private Cantwell Security Service who patrol the street in front of the building and eye each passerby warily.

“What’s going on across the street?” one woman asked while waiting in line to deposit her paycheck last Friday.

“Not sure,” said the man ahead of her in line. “Something to do with the government. The police cars and guards have been there since shortly after 9-11.”

“Oh,” she said. “No matter.”

Actually, if the woman knew what was happening inside the nondescript office building at 3701 Fairfax Drive, she might think it really does matter because the building houses the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Project Agency’s Total Information Awareness Program, the “big brother” program Congress thought it killed.

1. Everything that was supposedly "killed" is going forth
Under a different name, but the same programs... The BFEE seem to think that all that needs to be done to get the heat off is to change the name. The sad thing is that, with the current crop of press stenographers, that's true.

Click here for "FUCK BUSH", and other fair and balanced yet stunning buttons, magnets and stickers

2. The Imperial Congress kills NOTHING!
The Emperor merely starts it up in another place using other funds.

TIA is going strong, of that you can be sure.

Only (w)ussy "Presidents of stupid, weak Republics have to answer to their Congress.

REAL Emperors just say "Go fuck yourself!" and then have an operative send an envelope of anthrax.

7. This is the 9/11 nightmare of nightmares.
This is also a place where our interests converge with those of libertarians and traditional conservatives.

Corporate media is fully complicit with this highly unpopular scheme.
