meet America's new Big Brother
On February 13, 2002, Americans were warned that our nation was facing the threat of danger to homeland security. Three hours later it happened, but nobody told America. That day, John M. Poindexter was appointed Director of the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office. ![]() 00000bigbro1.jpg Meet America's New Big Brother
http://www.hereinreality.com/bigbrother.html --Who's John Poindexter? A retired Navy Admiral, John Poindexter lost his job as National Security Adviser under Ronald Reagan, and was convicted of conspiracy, lying to Congress, defrauding the government, and destroying evidence in the Iran Contra scandal. [1] --What's the Information Awareness Office http://www.darpa.mil/iao/(IAO)? It's a new office created by the Pentagon agency DARPA http://www.darpa.mil/ after 9/11 to gather intelligence through electronic sources like the internet, phone, and fax lines. [2] --Why did John Poindexter get the job? He was the Vice President of Syntek Technologies http://www.syntek.org/overviewv2.htm a government contractor. Syntek and Poindexter worked for years with DARPA to develop Genoa, a surveillance device that's a combination cutting-edge search engine, sophisticated information harvesting program", and a "peer-to-peer" file sharing system. Kind of a military-grade Google/Napster for use in instant analysis of electronic data. [3] --What was Iran-Contra all about? Iran was holding American hostages. President Reagan said we would not negotiate with terrorists. At the same time, the CIA wanted to support a rebel army in the overthrow of the Nicaraguan government. Congress said no. So John Poindexter, along with Oliver North and many others, went behind President Reagan's back (supposedly) and sold weapons to the Iranians (illegally), then took the money they made and funneled it to the brutal "Contra" army that they built in Central America (also illegally).

Very few newspapers and virtually no TV stations announced Poindexter's appointment. Apparently they didn't consider it "newsworthy". --Something seems fishy; what can I do? Contact your lawmakers and tell them how you feel about the appointment of John Poindexter. Ask the media, too, to give more coverage to this and other appointments. Also see: James A.
