The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is reopening its investigation into online file sharing programs, specifically Limewire.
Now I believe anyone who uses Limewire should be investigated, but certainly not by the House.  Maybe a doctor in the house, but not the House.
The reason for the investigation?  It is claimed that the software makes it [...]

The year was roughly 1975, the venue was Congress, the subject was the Church Committee.  This was when the CIA was called on the carpet and admitted to mind control experiments.  This is public record.
There may be prior history but let’s call it the end of World War II.  Nazi scientists were doing all sorts [...]

Texas State Senator Dan Patrick is sounding the alarm.  Apparently things are getting bad on the Texas/Mexico border:

100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were [...]

And nothing was stirring, except the NSA.
The wiretaps were placed at the phone companies
They’re listening in, from a fax to a sneeze.
The press were nestled all snug in their beds

None of us [...]

Here’s yet another in the series of “Before you call me a paranoid raving lunatic” blogs.
Right after 9-11, Operation Highlander got started.  Poorly organized, hastily staffed, and given an illegal mandate to violate your civil rights.
Rest assured there were counterparts in at least two countries.  I’ll go with the UK and Australia, but that’s my [...]
