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.
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). See [1]

John Poindexter isn't the only Iran-Contra conspirator to be appointed to a high-level position.

--Why didn't I hear about his appointment on the news?
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.

There is a great new site that is an excellent resource for information and action concerning the Total Information Awareness program, the Total Information Awareness Resource Center.

We are in a very interesting country and mind state. We all wanted total freedom AND total security. The truth is that it will not happen. For example, if you want to be absolutely sure your kids are not doing drugs or illegal activities or actions you as a parent do not approve of, you have to basically lock them up or have 24hrs surveilance on them. Total freedom does not exist as it means total chaos. We need to balance them. If we as a country is willing to sacrafice some of our security, we can demand more freedom. And, if we have more freedom, we should not blame anyone if we are not as secure. Asking for both is not possible.
In many other country, a national ID system exist. Citizens are require to carry the ID at all time. Of course a national ID in USA will be asking for law suits. Without a national ID, it will be harder to track and catch criminal, terrorist, etc. And, we should be patient and understand why we cannot prevent all diasters. Life is always a balance. All intervention have pros and cons. We should be sensible enough to look for the balance.

Interesting aside: Is it a coincidence, or was the acronym "IAO" also chosen for it's occult significance (kinda fits in with the "Eye of Horus", and pyramid, etc.?)?
"There is a quite different formula in which I is the father, O the Mother, A the child --- and yet another, in which I.A.O. are all fathers of different kinds balanced by H.H.H., 3 Mothers, to complete the Universe. In a third, the true formula of the Beast 666, I and O are the opposites which form the field for the operation of A. But this is a higher matter unsuited for this elementary handbook. See, however, Liber Samekh, Point II, Section J."
