You all should read Melanie Phillips’ column that was at NRO today. She points out that she thinks Hussein may be in the same mold at Tony Blair insofar as multiculturalism is concerned. And Tony Blair is the man who opened the UK to this kind of authoritarian control.

Watch the BBC miniseries The Last Enemy (on PBS). It'll scare the pants off of you. This is where the UK (and the USA) are headed.

Simple counter: no encrypted internet traffic will be allowed, with this being enforced by the ISPs. Commercial sites (like banks) that absolutely require encryption will only be allowed encrypted traffic if the algorithm is government approved and the government has the keys.

Coming to the USA January 21, 2009. They will come up with something to track us all. Bill Gates and the boys out in Mexiforniastan will help.

8. To be fair, there are black helicopters, used to see them almost everyday
sitting on the Pentagon lawn on my way to work. I've been told they're a "very very dark green," but from a distance they look black. :+
