Along with this comes the access to an Executive branch which has grown both more numerous, better funded, more secretive and less checked, and immensely more powerful in its’ capacities.

The US intelligence community will, in only a few years, be the central piece in a global web of surveillance and control of people’s communication and behavior.

I have it from a source within the military-government-industrial complex – the US. Branch of it – that by 2015 at the latest, the last technological thing that prevents multi-national synchronizationed and synergistic government clamp downs on civilian activities and transactions within and between the “participating” countries.
The gathering, storing, analyzing, sharing and manipulation of the data which constitutes people’s digital identities and footprints will go truly global as governmental agencies will launch transnational cooperation and coordination of all efforts requiring control and monitoring of individuals.

Those who cannot be restricted physically can have their digital self wiped out or altered to make life very difficult – especially if they have to live on the run from forces not stopped by borders or adhering to any one nation’s government.

While the legal, moral and most procedural barriers are already eroded enough to allow for this given the slightest pressure, the remaining obstruction are technological.

A synchronized effort, like a simultaneous rounding up of a selection of the population in several countries, involving many different agencies in different countries would require air tight secrecy until the last moments and absolute coordination, and a degree of information protection, language and platform neutral communication and compatible technology implementation of a scope we just do not have yet.

However, we soon will.

McCain will also inherit the legacy and mandate to roll back rights to dissent and to behave in any other way than what facilitates the “American Way” (determined by the Supreme Executive and King of USA). This will go for both people within and outside USA, and US will use a militarized law enforcement – a merging of military and federal law enforcement agencies – at home and its’ conventional military forces abroad to do this.

Military Presence, Agenda and Engagement

In the Middle East, McCain will have an immense US Military presence. The US Army is completing the finishing touches on a permanent ground forces command for Iraq and the region, one that it describes as being capable of being a platform for “full spectrum operations” in 27 countries around southwest Asia and the Middle East ( Pause in Iraq? Try Permanent Bases in the Region ).

And then there is of course the ongoing engagement in Iraq, already approved and funded by the Congress and with all significant troop withdrawals canceled. It appears President Bush will keep 140,000 troops in Iraq for the rest of his term.

This engagement is ripe and ready to be expanded in as many directions as can be covered with the thinnest veneer of rational – or with the obvious lie McCain presented in the clip discussed in Democracy Now which would take us into war with Iran, another country on the Neocon list of nations needed to “reform”.

And McCain is the right man for the job.

McCain was not only advocating the Iraq surge, but really pushing, and is today pushing, for a long-term presence by the United States in Iraq, using Iraq as an aircraft carrier to support American power throughout the Persian Gulf and the Middle East and Central Asia.

He believes in the “roll over or roll back” policy of spreading US “values” around the world, basically using the US military and economical might to make sure nations either adopt what is deemed US interests. First and foremost US need to attend to what McCain calls the Rouge State Roll Back.
