Institutionalized Spying on Americans

reply to post by palehorse23


Hi Palehorse,
Another excellent and informative post. Much of this, I've been aware of, but this certainly brings it current and combines a lot of what's come before. To me, the NOA sounds similar to the OIA (Office of Information Awareness), if you remember that effort by John Poindexter. I wonder if this also includes the "Wolverine" type of computer analysis system as a component. I would almost be surprised if not.

BTW, on another thread, I suggested a form of protest that might provide people with a new, peaceful voice, less all the annoying pepper spray and nightsticks. Here's a link with more details just a few posts down. As someone who's certainly kept an eye on peaceful protest and it's results, I'd be very interested in your opinion, both about the idea/effectiveness/repercussions and also, if you believe it makes sense, what candidate cause might get a large enough number of people to participate, making the first effort a success. Thanks.
