</i><b>I: WATCH LISTS, BLACK LISTS, ENEMIES LISTS.....HIT LISTS?<br><br>
</b>With the long overdue departure of the Bush administration from the
White House it is the hope many that the myriad of transgressions against
the Constitution and the people of America will begin to seep out into
the public domain. It took a remarkably short time. The day after the
helicopter hauled ole George away like so much rubbish a major story
broke. In an astonishing shot across the bow directed at the shadow
government the first significant whistleblower has already come out with
a story (once again ignored by the corporate media) and delivered a
devastating blow to the premise that the massive illegal domestic spying
programs of the Bush administration were undertaken in order to protect
America from terrorism in the aftermath of September 11th, 2001.<br><br>
Former NSA analyst Russell Tice during two recent interviews on MSNBC’s
Countdown with Keith Olbermann
(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUSZHC1Gu7U">pt1</a>
,<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTivPZZorWY">pt2</a>)confirmed
that the Bush-Cheney-Rove phony war on terror was as people like myself
have always strongly suspected in actuality a war on America itself.
According to the patriotic Mr. Tice the targets of the domestic spying
included news organizations and journalists and that the surveillance for
specific targets was not limited to professional matters alone, they were
spied on 24/7.<br><br>
"The National Security Agency had access to all Americans'
communications," he said. "Faxes, phone calls and their
computer communications. ... They monitored all
communications."<br><br>
Tice said the NSA analyzed metadata to determine which communication
would be collected. Offering a hypothetical example, he said if the
agency determined that terrorists communicate in brief, two-minute phone
calls, the NSA might program its systems to record all such calls,
invading the privacy of anyone prone to telephonic succinctness.<br><br>
Tice was involved in only a small part of the project, that involved
trying to "harpoon fish from an airplane."<br><br>
He said he was told to monitor certain groups in order to eliminate them
as suspects for more intense targeting. <b><i>Those groups, he said, were
U.S. journalists and news agencies. But rather than excluding the news
organizations from monitoring, he discovered that the NSA was collecting
the organizations' communications 24 hours a day year round.<br><br>
</i></b>"It made no sense," he said.<br><br>
Tice did not identify the reporters or organizations allegedly
targeted.<br><br>
Olbermann asked if this means there's a file somewhere containing every
e-mail and phone conversation these reporters ever had with sources,
editors and family members.<br><br>
"If it was involved in this specific avenue of collection, it would
be everything, yes." Tice answered.<br><br>
(Excerpted from Wired's
<a href="http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2009/01/nsa-whistleblow.html">
Kim Zetter's blog</a>)<br><br>
<br>
The Tice interviews followed another former insider speaking out on the
gross illegality of the Bush administration programs, a former DOJ
employee named Thomas Tamm was featured in a Newsweek magazine cover
story by Michael Isikoff entitled
<a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/174601/">The Fed Who Blew the
Whistle</a> from which I excerpt the following:<br><br>
In the spring of 2004, Tamm had just finished a yearlong stint at a
Justice Department unit handling wiretaps of suspected terrorists and
spiesa unit so sensitive that employees are required to put their hands
through a biometric scanner to check their fingerprints upon entering.
While there, Tamm stumbled upon the existence of a highly classified
National Security Agency program that seemed to be eavesdropping on U.S.
citizens. The unit had special rules that appeared to be hiding the NSA
activities from a panel of federal judges who are required to approve
such surveillance. When Tamm started asking questions, his supervisors
told him to drop the subject. He says one volunteered that "the
program" (as it was commonly called within the office) was
"probably illegal."<br><br>
The name of the program was <b><i>Stellar Wind</i></b> and please pay
particular attention to this next excerpted piece from Isikoff's
story:<br><br>
The NSA, with the secret cooperation of U.S. telecommunications
companies, had begun collecting vast amounts of information about the
phone and e-mail records of American citizens. Separately, the NSA was
also able to access, for the first time, massive volumes of personal
financial recordssuch as credit-card transactions, wire transfers and
bank withdrawalsthat were being reported to the Treasury Department by
financial institutions. These included millions of
"suspicious-activity reports," or SARS, according to two former
Treasury officials who declined to be identified talking about sensitive
programs. <b><i>(It was one such report that tipped FBI agents to former
New York governor Eliot Spitzer's use of prostitutes.)</i></b> These
records were fed into NSA supercomputers for the purpose of "data
mining"looking for links or patterns that might (or might not)
suggest terrorist activity.<br><br>
This latest glimpse beneath the facade at the massive, secretive and
highly illegal surveillance campaign against the American people is an
outrage. Given the proclivity of those who run the system in this country
to exert raw power to advance their own agendas it is no leap in logic
that journalists alone were the only group targeted. There remains the
question of whether blackmail, especially sexual blackmail is routinely
used as a tool to keep government and media officials from not straying
too far from the dirty business of imperialism and financial chicanery of
the sort that has brought the economy to its knees. <br><br>
I personally found the media spectacle of the fortuitously timed
prostitution bust of former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer who
incidentally had just announced his intention to declare war on the
banksters and their accomplices in the Bush White House in a February 14,
2008 <i>Washington Post</i> piece entitled
<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/13/AR2008021302783.html">
Predatory Lenders Partner in Crime</a> to be extremely suspicious. The
rogue Bush regime and the NSA have been using their big lie of the war on
terror as an excuse to scrutinize credit card use and Spitzer would have
been an obvious target as is indicated by the above excerpt from the
<i>Newsweek</i> story. It also makes skeptics such as myself wonder
whether the witch hunt to impeach former Illinois Governor Rod
Blagojevich may at least in part be attributed to his threat to suspend
state business with Bank of America, 'Blago' was arrested the day
afterwards.<br><br>
In light of the Tice revelations as well as an already long and extremely
sordid history of U.S. government surveillance into the activities of
dissidents and reporters that predated the Bush regime, we also need to
ask some very serious questions of a much more troubling and nefarious
nature. For example, how does such spying tie into not only the
manipulation of the news but the now standard lack of spine from the
Democratic congress when it comes to prosecuting the Bush administration
criminals? Notorious fixer Karl Rove has already announced his intent to
defy yet another subpoena for his testimony that was to have been
delivered on Monday in front of the House Judiciary Committee. As of this
writing,
<a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/18222.html">John
Conyers has once again caved</a> and the date has now been pushed into
February and likely will soon disappear down the same memory hole where
similar attempts to enforce the law have been flushed.<br><br>
Intense political pressure, threats of unemployment in a time of economic
crisis and potentially embarrassing sexual acts subject to blackmail are
all entirely made possible by the rampant unaccountability of the
domestic spying programs, but are there measures that go far beyond just
the spiking of stories, the discrediting or the ruining of careers alone?
Think back to the
<a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20050103/cockburn">vicious
institutionalized slander</a> directed former <i>San Jose Mercury
News</i> reporter Gary Webb for example for his
<a href="http://www.narconews.com/darkalliance/drugs/start.htm">Dark
Alliance</a> series. The savagery with which Webb was taken down by the
establishment was stunning and it ultimately resulted in his suicide, a
broken and haunted man who only dared to try to tell the truth.<br><br>
There is a long trail of untimely demises of investigative journalists
and other insiders whose knowledge represents a threat to very existence
of the shadow government and those who it as a matter of routine does
business with in order to avoid legitimate channels. Perhaps the most
terrifying of all question is exactly what actions do end up being taken
in order to prevent the exposure of widespread criminal activity,
systemic grand scale fraud and extra-constitutional black operations that
have been conducted for decades.<br><br>
Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen wrote of an NSA database that was
at one time named
<a href="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3642.shtml">
FIRSTFRUITS</a> that was maintained to engage in surveillance against
journalists and that was renamed after its discovery. Some of the names
in this database allegedly included Christiane Amanpour, Seymour Hersh,
James Bamford, James Risen and Madsen himself. According to chatter in
the blogosphere that were it not consistent with the historical trail of
dead bodies could easily be dismissed as paranoia and disinformation. One
story floating around the internet mentioned an unnamed NSA security
officer allegedly mused about ‘just killing’ troublesome bloggers. This
may be a product of paranoia (one would think paranoia would be a natural
state in a land of fear and loathing such as that which the United States
has become post 9/11) but there <b>is </b>great progress currently being
made by internet researchers and such reputed threats should not simply
be waved off as the rantings of <i>tin foil hatters</i> or the favorite
of all pejoratives directed at those who dare to ask inconvenient
questions, <i>conspiracy theorists</i>. The fact that the alternative
media and many bloggers are slowly starting to put the pieces together
one can only reasonably suspect that such behavior scares the living hell
out of the establishment, and after all, there is a history of that sort
of thing. While this is not a comprehensive list the Committee to Protect
Journalists <a href="http://cpj.org/deadly/">keeps a database</a> to
track the prematurely deceased in a most dangerous profession.<br><br>
The bizarre absence of any reporting of this very serious violation of
civil liberties has received absolutely no coverage in the corporatized,
mainstream pocket media. This is unconscionable that there is apparently
no interest in exposing these crimes, especially considering that those
targeted could actually save their own hides (and perhaps instill some
dignity) by outing this program. It's a sad testament to the state of
today's 'journalism' that is shameful by comparison to that of days of
yore when reporters were intrepid souls determined to speak the truth to
power.<br><br>
Writer Eric Alterman puts it spot on in his recent Center for American
Progress piece entitled
<a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/01/ta_012909.html">
Think Again: Spying on Journalists? Why the Silence?</a> when he notes
the lack of intestinal fortitude in the mainstream media:<br><br>
<i>Clearly something deeply disturbing lurks beneath these revelations,
and with Bush gone from office, it’s hard to understand just what is
preventing journalists from seeking the truth about this program more
energetically. The only thing they have to fear is fear itself.<br><br>
</i>This sad state of affairs brings to mind the following:<br><br>

</dl>And the silence by those tasked by the First Amendment’s now quaint
and antiquated imbuing upon them a responsibility for a free press as an
essential check on authoritarianism is deafening in its absence.
Quislings, cowards and public relations flacks seem to be the one thing
that our journalism schools never failed to produce over the past several
decades, feckless and spineless careerists with neither a sense of honor
nor of their place as defenders of precious liberty. There shall be no
refuge for the weasels nor the rats in the end therefore their mass
abrogation of their chosen profession along with their acute absence of
courage is even more damnable for when the time comes they will perhaps
live to lament that they did not speak out when they had the chance.

</dl>The National Security State has a history of silencing those who
would speak out and especially reporters deemed to have become a
nuisance. This is done either through intense pressure brought down on
media corporations through organized harassment of sponsors, brutal
coordinated smear campaigns much like the one that took down the
aforementioned Gary Webb or when all else fails, the reporters often just
happen to turn up mysteriously dead. The list of ‘suicides’ and accidents
is a long one and in the view of the ruthless psychopaths who both run
and profit from a high-tech snooping network seems to be that any means
are to be undertaken to keep their games going even if it ultimately
results in termination with extreme prejudice. I believe that I will have
to put together a list myself but when I just started writing down names
off the top of my head of strange deaths I came up with over thirty right
off the bat.<br><br>
The ugly truth is that none of these police state powers are being used
to protect the United States from foreign enemies, terrorism or any other
excuse that is being made in order to get Americans to submit their
rights. It is all in the name of power, money and to protect the
interests of the oligarchy and the power elite who run the establishment
and it needs to be stopped because it is out of control.<br><br>
Take the strange case of Danny Casolaro for example...<br><br>
Perhaps the closest to get at the truth about PROMIS and how it was an
integral piece of the shadow government was investigative journalist
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Casolaro">Danny Casolaro</a>.
Casolaro had been working on research for a book on a shadowy
transnational power group that seemed to run through the postwar era and
had connections to many of the major scandals including Iran-Contra,
BCCI, the Nugan Hand Bank, international drug cartels, weapons dealers
and intelligence operatives in not only the U.S. government but
internationally as well. Casolaro dubbed this group, one that largely
rose out of a ‘dirty old boy network’ of the OSS/CIA out of the ashes of
World War II as The Octopus</i>. Casolaro began to become aware of the
more sinister aspects of what Professor Peter Dale Scott refers to as the
deep state</i> but is more commonly known as either the shadow
government, the parallel government and even arguably the permanent
government while investigating the theft of the PROMIS software from the
Inslaw corporation.<br><br>
On Saturday, August 10, 1991 a maid at a Martinsburg, West Virginia
Sheraton Inn was horrified to find the nude body of Joseph Daniel
Casolaro in the bathtub, the victim of an apparent ‘suicide’. It was by
accounts a particularly grisly scene and a strangely violent ‘suicide’
with both of his wrists slashed deeply multiple times with a razor blade.
There was a very short and impersonal note, blood splattered on the tile
walls and a pair of bloody towels that were shoved under the sink away
from the bathtub.<br><br>
Strange circumstances followed in the aftermath of the discovery of Danny
Casolaro’s corpse in a blood filled bathtub. His body was hastily taken
away and embalmed (making any subsequent autopsy much more difficult)
before family members were officially notified (a violation of state law
by accounts) and room 517 had been professionally cleaned thereby
removing critical evidence prior to any sort of thorough forensic
investigation could be performed. Compounding doubts about the official
‘suicide’ story are contradictory statements made by friends and family
that Casolaro was NOT suicidal at all but was actually quite exited over
the prospect of publishing his book on the findings of his investigative
work, even to the extent that he had scheduled a party to celebrate. He
was in the final stages of nailing down the story of the century and had
gone to West Virginia in search of the evidence that would prove his
theory, make the connection to PROMIS and ‘bring back the head of the
octopus’. The sudden ending (yet another hotel room 'suicide') was
especially suspicious because when the body was discovered, his files
were missing.<br><br>
In addition to the shadowy players in the global arms and narcotics
trades the Octopus also appeared to have had as tentacles rogue elements
of U.S. intelligence Casolaro found connections to not only Iran-Contra
but also BCCI, the Nugan Hand bank, the October Surprise, money
launderers and organized crime as well as a continuous thread of
involvement in dirty dealings both domestically and abroad. The roots of
this milieu of malevolence stretched back to the post World War II era
when a collection of spooks, corrupt bureaucrats and extremist right wing
ideologues began to operate as a faction within the intelligence
apparatus, a state upon themselves to profit financially while engaging
in the darks forms of clandestine activities and black
operations.<br><br>
Author Joel Bainerman in his 1992 book entitled The Crimes of a
President</i> wrote the following (some of this ostensibly quoting
William Hamilton of Inslaw as well as a 1991 story from the St. Louis
Dispatch</i>) that has a very good description on Casolaro's
theory:<br><br>
“Casolaro had discovered a common denominator to the theft of Inslaw’s
software and other recent scandals” says Hamilton who worked very closely
with Casolaro right up to his death in helping him to uncover the dirty
dealing behind the theft of Inslaw’s software. A group of individuals
trained in covert intelligence operations and aligned with the U.S.
political leadership who were allegedly profiting from each of these
scandals. <br><br>
These veterans of U.S. covert intelligence operations had also allegedly
been selling pirated copies of Inslaw’s software to foreign intelligence
and law enforcement agencies and funneling the funds through BCCI.
Casolaro believed that some of the profits from these illegal sales made
their way into a slush fund used for political payoffs and covert
intelligence operations not authorized by congress.<br><br>
</i>Danny Casolaro is far from the only one to whom mysterious death had
befallen after their investigative work got them too close to the real
power structure or presented an obstacle to its need for the cloak of
secrecy. Too many rising politicians, uncooperative politicians and
judges, hostile witnesses, whistle blowers and reporters have met with no
small number of strange and untimely deaths often attributed to accidents
(small plane crashes in particular), ‘suicides’( a good deal of them in
hotel rooms), sudden heart attacks or seizures (many in people with no
history of such problems) and random acts of extreme violence that go
unsolved by authorities. <br><br>
In addition to Casolaro, other suspicious deaths of investigators of this
particular nexus of evil include Financial Times reporter
<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=M_vkgRD3QwwC&pg=PA223&lpg=PA223&dq=Anson+Ng+death&source=bl&ots=gR81pVP68_&sig=jyS1-Sk2UkdxhNcwLmY39mSYu6A&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=8&ct=result#PPA223,M1">
Anson Ng</a>, reportedly a friend of Casolaro who was found dead from a
gunshot wound in his Guatemala City apartment where he was reportedly
working on a story related to BCCI and to

try to interview a guy named Jimmy Hughes</a> who according to the writer
Rodney Stitch had information regarding shady dealings at the Cabazon
Indian Reservation near Palm Springs, CA as well as
<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/60769.stm">Jonathan
Moyle</a> whose body was found hanging in a closet in a Santiago hotel
room where he had been investigating the CIA and the arms trade.<br><br>
Joel Bainerman also noted in his book that the Cabazon Indian Reservation
where the PROMIS software was allegedly modified for espionage purposes
by a very interesting character, a technical genius named
<a href="http://desertfae.com/desertfaewiki/index.php?title=Michael_Riconosciuto">
Michael Riconosciuto</a> to include the ‘back door’ feature (to allow for
secret access) was in fact a “CIA cutout”.</i> The government contracting
firm Wackenhut, a Florida based corporation alleged to have been involved
in sensitive 'private security' matters (Blackwater before Blackwater)
was involved at the time in a
<a href="http://www.lycaeum.org/books/books/last_circle/4.htm">
joint-venture</a> with the Cabazon tribe to use the sovereign land status
of the reservation to work on a variety of endeavors including the
development and testing of arms including a fuel air explosive,
biochemical warfare agents and other armaments that could be provided to
third world regimes, primarily to right wing governments in Latin
America. The Cabazon Indian Reservation was allegedly transformed into
veritable spook nest as well as a staging ground for covert military
industrial complex purposes. Wackenhut incidentally is back in the news
(or at least the alternative media) with Ellen Brown's recent story about
the
<a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=11951">
mysterious prison buses spotted in Arizona</a> so they are still a player
and a big one at that. I would venture to speculate that the truth about
Wackenhut Corporation and its longtime involvement in the prison
industrial complex that has become so very, very lucrative to this
fascist society is something that deserves one hell of a good deal of
scrutiny. <br><br>
III: INDIO 2008<br><br>
</b>Interestingly enough there was a local news investigation in the Palm
Springs area in 2008 that had focused on the 2005 multiple murder-suicide
of Riverside County District Attorney Investigator David McGowan and five
members of his family. As the series continued questions began to arise
on whether McGowan had been digging a bit too deeply into a cold case
file regarding a
<a href="http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=8687765&nav=menu191_1_1_3">
1981 triple murder</a> on the Cabazon Reservation that had ties to the
covert activities that Danny Casolaro was investigating. Subsequent
installments in the
<a href="http://www.kesq.com/Global/category.asp?C=99145&nav=menu191_1_1_3">
KESQ series</a> by news reporter Nathan Baca began to
<a href="http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=8766891&nav=menu191_1_1_3">
ask questions about PROMIS</a> as well as the other mysterious activities
at the reservation and began to delve into the 1981 murders of tribal
leader Fred Alvarez who resisted those behind the Cabazon-Wackenhut joint
venture as well as two friends.
<a href="http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=8993895&nav=menu191_1_1_3">
An interview was conducted</a> with the daughter of one of the victims
who is to this day seeking justice for the murder of her father Ralph
Boger. Rachel Begley (her website is called
<a href="http://www.desertfae.com/">desertfae</a>) very accurately
described what has been going on at Cabazon as follows:<br>
<dl>
<dd>"I'm more shocked than anything. I had no idea these things were
going on. Most of America doesn't know these things are going on,"
said Begley. "It's still going on to this day. It's a big web of
corruption</i>."<br><br>
</dl>The series ended abruptly in October
<a href="http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=9155537&nav=menu191_1_1_3">
after an installment</a> that began to delve into whether other local
Indian tribes may have been involved in dealings with Wackenhut and
mentioned “an experimental electromagnetic weapon called a
"railgun"</i> as being one of the projects. That the KESQ story
has not continued is disappointing but certainly not surprising given the
history of what has happened to those digging too deeply into affairs
involving the PROMIS software - I would hope that it will eventually be
resumed. In my own opinion, I would suspect that fear may a motivating
factor in the suspension of this series, especially after the detective
who had been investigating the case stated that he: "doesn't want to
continue on the case based on the number of people who have met an
untimely demise while doing so". Who knows, I hope that that isn't
the case and that a new installment will be forthcoming in the near
future, as a concerned American it is extremely important that it at some
point continue because Mr. Baca is onto something BIG</b>.<br><br>
Now, since I feel that it is particularly relevant I am posting an email
from said detective to an unnamed third party who he was seeking advice
from and specifically for the comments of said detective that I have
highlighted that should send a chill up the spine of all who read
this:<br><br>

Subject: Alvarez Triple Homicide<br><br>
Hello X<br><br>
My name is X and I'm with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. I'm
a homicide detective assigned to the cold case division. The Alvarez
triple homicide was assigned to me a couple of months ago.<br><br>
For the past two months I have reviewed nearly a thousand documents of
police reports, and spent many hours browsing the Internet for additional
sources of information. As I am sure you can imagine, I feel a bit like
Alice in Wonderland after falling down the rabbit hole. I no longer have
a complete grasp on the real world.<br><br>
You should know first off, that I am an experienced investigator with 18
years on the Sheriff's Dept. and I consider myself pretty intuitive when
it comes to filtering out the BS. After my first review of the police
reports in this case, I wasn't sure why it remained unsolved for over 26
years. All of the players were identified and the Modus Operandi seemed
to be well established. I couldn't understand why every few years the
case was suddenly dropped and put back on the shelf.<br><br>
That's when Rachel Begley introduced me to the rabbit hole. After the
countless hours I have now spent on her website and the numerous other
conspiracy theorists websites, I'm having a very difficult time sifting
through the BS.<br><br>
I have also spent much time on your website and I have found your
investigations impressive and your opinions refreshing. That is why I am
writing to you now. I do not make it a habit of talking to journalists
about open homicide investigations, however, it appears you are much more
educated about this particular case than I am.<br><br>
I know you are very busy and I understand the Alvarez triple homicide is
a very small part of the Octopus, but I would be very interested in
spending any time with you that you have available, in order to get some
perspective on what I've read.<br><br>
Just so you understand where I am in this case. I am currently preparing
a review and summary for my Sergeant. My conclusion will be that I do not
wish to continue investigating this case, based on the number of people
who have met an untimely demise while doing so</b>.<br><br>
My actions in this matter go against everything I believe in, and this
case is very difficult for me to walk away from, especially with the
allegations that involve the deaths of Investigator Dave McGowan and his
family. But I am conceding to a higher power (my wife) and trying to give
her some peace of mind. I cannot look her in the eyes and tell her that I
am willing to risk the life of my family by pursuing this.<br><br>
</b>I am interested in your opinion. Am I just another lamb to the
slaughter? Is the Puppet Master pulling my strings via Rachel Begley? Is
this just a simple case of murder by Jimmy Hughes at the direction of
John P. Nichols, or is it really much more than that?<br><br>
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,<br><br>

IV: Conclusion:<br><br>
</b>It is with the hope of this humble blogger that this series as well
as other damning information such as that put forth by Mr. Tice, Mr. Tamm
and other patriotic Americans who have risked all (and at times paid with
their careers and lives) all in order to get the truth out will encourage
others to do the same. It is long past time to bring attention to the
history of grossly immoral and criminal acts that have been perpetrated
against the people of the United States by the very institutions that are
supposed to be protecting us. It is imperative that others begin to work
independently (and together whenever possible) to mount their own
investigations into how the government has been weaponized by a pack of
fascist thugs so that they may reap the benefits at the expense of those
who are not connected to an elitist ruling class that is hell bent on
maintaining the status quo.<br><br>
Danny Casolaro did not have the most powerful tool against injustice and
corruption available while he was alive, the internet was only in its
nascent stages and had he the ability that we enjoy due to advances in
technology he may very well still be alive and the criminal usurpers of
our democracy and violators of our constitution could be where they
belong – in prison. It is my hope that one with more influence, internal
knowledge and resources than I have at my disposal begin to not only do
very serious investigative work but to also petition the new
administration of President Barack Obama for the following:<br><br>
1: An immediate cessation of all illegal, unconstitutional
surveillance and data-mining that has been ongoing against law abiding
American citizens.<br><br>
2: The creation of an independent investigative body along the
lines of the Church Committee imbued with sweeping powers to investigate
abuses of intelligence both within the government as well as with private
contractors who have collaborated in crimes against the republic and its
citizens.<br><br>
3: A case by case federal investigation into ALL suspicious deaths
of reporters and other individuals either directly or indirectly involved
in the investigation of what has been done with the PROMIS software, NSA
spying and Continuity of Government programs. Especially now that it has
been revealed that the NSA has been actively spying on journalists and
news organizations.<br><br>
4: A restoration of the rule of law as a bulwark against tyranny as
was intended by our founding fathers who having full knowledge of how
unaccountable despots behave risked all to lay the foundation of a free
society where the highest ideals of liberty can be enjoyed by
all.<br><br>
5: In iron tight regulatory system to ensure that such flagrant
abuses of power never be allowed to occur again in the future. The cloak
of secrecy needs to be removed and all government must be open to the
scrutiny of those who it is supposed to serve.<br><br>
6: The prosecution to the full extent of the law of those who are
currently or who have in the past been involved in any criminal activity
in relation to the aforementioned.<br><br>
Truly, nothing else will suffice if we are to have any credibility as a
nation based on laws.<br><br>
