Going on this it looks like every one is being watched,
Here comes the start of a police state??????
An army of volunteers is lining up behind President George W Bush in his attempt to build an American "home guard" against terror, ignoring the
protests of civil liberties groups who have criticised the plan as granting the state a licence to snoop.

Well, I guess it's ok for folks to volunteer and report stuff, but do we really need the masses trying to be jr. James Bond types? Could you imagine
the implications of fringe group A deciding another fringe group B was up to no good. Then group B decides that A is after them when it was really
group C all the while. This could get a bit complicated
By the way I usually take stuff from Rense with a grain of salt.

Did everyone read that book? If not, get 2.50 american from your mom, and head down to the local bookstore.
In Fahrenheit 451 it talks about neighbors spying on neighbors. Remember the main character, Montag was caught with books becuase his WIFE blew the
whistle on him. Now, I'm no genius...but if we do things like this, we get closer and closer to a Fahrenheit 451 society, And I'll be honest, it
scares the # outta me. That's it. Peace.

I don't think the article (from July) has a correct handle on anything like the 'warm reception' that T.I.P.S. has supposedly received, but it does
point out the style in which a program of stool pigeons and informants is meant to work.
" Many liberal commentators have drawn parallels with the climate of fear and suspicion during the McCarthy purges of suspected Communists and Soviet
sympathisers in the 1950s. "
I have pointed out before, this rubbish is not McCarthyist tactics at all - it's pure Stalinist tactics.

I really hope that a Mcarthy-esq witch hunt doesn't happen, that would suck.

I always thought we were headed for a Farenheit 451 or 1984 type society. Sounds like the thought police are out on patrol...

This sounds like it has the potential to go very very wrong! But I Guess we’ll just have to wait and see! You never know the public Masses might prove
me wrong! (here’s hoping!)

McCarthy tactics? there liberals go again: use one lie as a foundation for another.
Anway - the teamsters were offering to help with TIPS. So, the liberals are just pissed that their labor unions are siding with a republican which
equates to less vote for them. Same thing happened in the 80's with Reagan.
But, look at that Telegraph story again: "Filed: 21/07/2002" (I don't think that TIPS stuff went very far anyway) But, if I suspect terrorism,
I'll just ignore the would be terrorists and neglect to contact the authorities...wouldn't want to rile the liberal commentators now would I.
Oh and colonel: buh -bye.

See ya! Like I've said, this country is looking like a bad sci-fi negative utopia novel and I don't think there's any hope. Bush sank it too far
down the toilet. I think its game over, dude. Stay and dirve your SUV. I'll be chillin with family in the South Seas.

Would you like help packing Mr. Depp?
Kiddin' Colonel...The nice thing about America, is we (somewhat) have the power to change this...lets at least try first before moving, shall we?
Lets start by putting Shrub out of the White House...
Titor-like war... Oh boy, let's leave Time-Travellin' John out of this one, huh?

One only has to look at the incident involving the three premed students who following 9/11, were turned in for planning attacks.
