Tenet says: US should put security curbs on the Internet
Former CIA Big Brother Tenet wants curbs on the Internet because he feels we are helping terrorist. He says it can be used as "a back door through which terrorists and other enemies of the United States could attack the country."

http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20041201-114750-6381r.htm

Can somebody explain to me why would "they" bother using with a back door (according BushCo) when they didn't have a problem using the the front door.

Someone needs to tell this ex-spook that the INTERNET is no long the back door but the front door of information since his friends in the media have blocked access the mainstream media. I guess they have forgotten one small and important fact, NO ONE in history has ever successfully blocked "the truth" from coming out!

Besides didn't his boss fire George Tenet because he failed this country on 911, he lied about the WMDs, and he failed as a CIA director. So why should we listen to anything he has to say!

2. War on "Terrorism" = War on Democracy
There is no war on terrorism.

They are declaring war on Americans who disagree with the Bush Administration.

5. It is coming, fascism... the internet target as predicted here:
What's coming

When all fascisms exhibit the same social and political agendas (the 14 points listed by Britt), then it is not hard to predict where a new fascist uprising will lead. And it is not hard. The actions of fascists and the social and political effects of fascism and fundamentalism are clear and sobering. Here is some of what's coming, what will be happening in our country in the next few years:

9. Control of the internet to remove or cripple it as an instrument of free communication that is exempt from government control. This will be presented as a necessary anti-terrorist measure.

The national press, including United Press International (UPI), were excluded from yesterday's event, at Mr. Tenet's request, organizers said.

9. Open-Source is Great!
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 05:47 PM by Anakin Skywalker
This A$$clown Tenet is obviously a Micro$uck fan.

Open-source is contributed by mostly VOLUNTEERS (yeah, people who truly give a damn about improvements, not corporate stooges who lust after big money by pimping lemon products).

16. I Love Open-source
I use as much open-source software where I work. I refuse to let the corporate pigs collect any money from us.

10. TIME IS SHORT, PEOPLE. THE WALLS ARE MOVING IN.
We can't put another dime in the internet phone to complete our call for justice.

The offer is about to expire on organizing against global fascism.

Put some fire under your ass and everyone you know. NOW.

17. no doubt they would love to shut down the internets from us.
this is the last free domain and they can't have it.

afterall, the "terrorists" are able to gather and share ideas to expose voting fraud and get recounts done. :crazy: fascism is definitely on its merry way.

18. Information is dangerous
... the less we have, the better off we'll all be.

Now, please repeat after me: "war is peace, sex is a crime, ignorance is power, yada yada yada..."

19. I guess it is safe to say
BushCo must have read Orwell's 1984 because it sure seems like we are living it today.
