It is interesting how the US Government responds to major criticism that they are acting illegally, using the US Constitution as toilet paper, and violating everything that is core American by being silent. It is an admission of guilt when the government uses covert means to silence voices exposing public corruption, government mismanagement, official obstruction of justice, and the across the board defrauding of US taxpayers. It is time for elected officials to admit what side they are on, for the people, or for corporations and banks.

Welcome to US Police State by Info Wars



If even one thing Alex Jones says below, he should be told to at least correct inaccuracies. If even one thing Alex Jones says is true in the below videos, it means the US Constitution is null and void, and all of our rights for everything have been suspended. Million of people listen to Alex Jones. If any percentage listens to what is being said, there are major amounts of people just waiting to rise up against those they perceive as tyrants.

If Alex Jones is silenced without due process, is that a sign that what he has been saying really is true?

Shadowy Spy Group Building Dossiers On Internet Users For Feds




Project Vigilant: New Face of Total Information Awareness Goes Public

Paul Joseph Watson

Monday, August 2, 2010

An organization that tracks 250 million IP addresses a day has been developing portfolios on Internet users and handing the information to U.S. federal agencies as the latest incarnation of the supposedly defunct Total Information Awareness spy program is revealed.

A group calling itself Project Vigilant went public at yesterday's Defcon security conference in an effort to add more recruits to its 600 member strong cyber spy force. The outfit announced that it had been tracking "Internet villains" for no less than 14 years and handing the information to federal authorities as part of a massive intelligence gathering program.

However, the target of one such investigation did not fall into the category of cyber criminals -- "terrorists, drug cartels, mobsters" -- that the group claims to be fighting.

The organization "encouraged one of its "volunteers", researcher Adrian Lamo, to inform the federal government about the alleged source of a controversial video of civilian deaths in Iraq leaked to whistle-blower site Wikileaks in April," reports Forbes.

Project Vigilant director Chet Uber used Lamo's friendship with Bradley Manning, the former U.S. Army intelligence analyst who allegedly released the classified video, to out Manning, who now faces criminal charges. Uber told Lamo that it was his "patriotic duty" to inform on the man who was instrumental in bringing to light the war atrocities witnessed in the infamous "Collateral Murder" video, which shows U.S. troops slaughtering over a dozen innocent people and injuring others, including two children, Sajad Salah and his little sister Duaa Salah.

"According to Uber, one of Project Vigilant's manifold methods for gathering intelligence includes collecting information from a dozen regional U.S. Internet service providers," states the report. "Uber declined to name those ISPs, but said that because the companies included a provision allowing them to share users' Internet activities with third parties in their end user license agreements (EULAs), Vigilant was able to legally able to gather data from the Internet carriers and use it to craft reports for federal agencies. A Vigilant press release says that the organization tracks more than 250 million IP addresses a day and can "develop portfolios on any name, screen name or IP address."

Uber also founded InfraGard, the ominous FBI-affiliated public-private partnership that is a key component of the unfolding implementation of martial law in the United States. InfraGard made its intentions to act as a political police force clear in March 2009 when the group announced that questions surrounding Barack Obama's presidential eligibility were "potentially harmful to civil order and national security".

Uber's organization poses as a volunteer orientated crime-fighting private outfit, and yet it is nothing more than a tentacle of the military-industrial complex's sprawling unconstitutional internal spy apparatus.

Project Vigilant is an offshoot of the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's Total Information Awareness, a program designed to catalogue, "Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip you book and every event you attend," as the New York Times' William Safire wrote in November 2002.

TIA, symbolized by its logo of an all-seeing eye atop a pyramid shining upon the globe, was supposedly nixed by Congress shortly after it became public, but the program merely went underground and continued as a part of the Pentagon's "black budget" and in conjunction with a plethora of private contractors in the same mould as Project Vigilant.

As Capitol Hill Blue reported back in 2004, "Despite Congressional action cutting funding, and the resignation of the program's controversial director, retired admiral John Poindexter, DARPA's TIA program is alive and well and prying into the personal business of Americans 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

DARPA has hired private contractors to perform the exact same duties set out in Total Information Awareness, and Project Vigilant is undoubtedly one of them. By hiring private companies to do the dirty work of spying on the American people, Congressional audits can be avoided and legal barriers can be sidestepped.

Is Connecticut US Senator Joe Lieberman deciding, himself, what videos should be taken off the internet?

Is the US Government involved in racketeering by using corporations to help with domestic spying programs?

Did our US Government make fake Bin Laden tapes for propaganda use? Are the NSA, CIA, FBI, DEA, IRS, and other alphabet agencies targeting citizens who connect the dots?

Alex Jones interviews Paul Craig Roberts in this author's last post on Alex Jones.

This author talked with a staffer for Vermont US Congressman Peter Welch. The staffer said the congressman is working to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I told the staffer how citizens are being blacklisted and being targeted by police and courts for destruction of their lives for being on the list. I told the staffer how I had contacted Connecticut US Senator Chris Dodd's Office with my concerns in the late 1990's so the Connecticut State Police showed up on my doorstep terrorizing and threatening me, telling me I was kicked out of Connecticut, to shut my mouth, and if I didn't leave I would be arrested. Cops then were allegedly bragging that "Big Mouth" was going to be taught a lesson and thrown in prison at a time I had no record, committed no crime, and wasn't suspected of any crime.

I, Steven G. Erickson, was held as a political prisoner in Conecticut for having tested free speech and for trying to redress grievances to my federal elected official. So, now that I am a resident of Vermont, will US Senators Patrick Leahy, Bernie Sanders, and Congressman Peter Welch look into this sort of citizen abuse for remedy?

Will they look into the matters discussed in the videos?

Should there be a Congressional Hearing on the above matters?
