From: "Uncle Ernie" Subj: Here's this week's rant... Date: Thu Jul 27, 2006 8:46 pm Size: 21K To:

I see where some US Air Marshals are placing innocent people on the no fly list in order to meet their quotas. I'm going to repeat that again for those of you on drugs...

US Air Marshals are placing innocent people on the no fly list in order to meet their quotas.

A few honest Air Marshals have come forward to say that you could be on a secret government database or watch list for simply taking a picture on an airplane. US Air marshals are reporting your actions to meet a quota, although top officials deny it (Why am I not surprised?). The air marshals, whose identities are being concealed, say that they're required to submit at least one report a month. If they don't, there's no raise, no bonus, no awards and no special assignments. So rather than forgo that raise they report an innocent person whose life is just about to change for the worse through no fault of their own, your tax dollars at work America!

"Innocent passengers are being entered into an international intelligence database as suspicious persons, acting in a suspicious manner on an aircraft and they did nothing wrong," said one federal air marshal.

Another one said, "These unknowing passengers who are doing nothing wrong are landing in a secret government document called a Surveillance Detection Report, or 'SDR.'" He went on to say that "Managers in Las Vegas created and continue to maintain this potentially dangerous quota system."

"It could be very serious," said Don Strange, the former agent in charge of Air Marshals in Atlanta. This could have serious impact. They could be placed on a watch list. They could wind up on databases that identify them as potential terrorists or a threat to an aircraft.

Every day a new act of treason, when will it end America? When will you have had enough to get up off your ass and do something about it? When? What will it take?

Last week you'll remember I told you about what east coast insurance company Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey are pushing on their customers, the implantation of "VeriChip" I.D. chips placed under the skin so that they have vays of making you cooperate, Jawohl?

This week let me take you to the equally kooky west coast where the State of Oregon wants to put a similar GPS tracking device inside your car. Initially to charge you gasoline tax depending on how much you drive. They claim that since the advent of "green cars" they're losing valuable tax revenue as consumers get better mileage. This is the bright idea of a Rethuglican (Why am I not surprised?) State representative Bruce Starr, who created The Oregon Road User Fee Task Force and became it's first chairman.

They'd raise the gas tax but "People don't like to pay higher taxes and would be angry at the politicians, says James Whitty state project head. He said, "Some folks don't trust the government to follow their every move;" well imagine that! But not to worry because "The tracking data isn't being recorded. They'll be no tracking at all because we don't care to," he said. Well isn't that special? James doesn't care to but he could if he wanted to! I wonder if the insurance companies, would like that data? Or perhaps the FBI, or Homeland Security, or the state police, or the county sheriff, or the city police, or the campus police, or the village cop, or that cop in the wood pile, the cop on your roof top, or the cop that's a knock, knock, knocking on your back door or even mayhaps our own beloved prairie monkey and his NSA pals?

Under the scam er plan people would be charged 1.25 cents a mile plus extra for rush hours, etc. One of the many fine "benefits" of this is the higher the mileage you get, the more you pay! Isn't that special, leave it to a Rethuglican! They're running a year trial before it goes back to the legislature for a vote on making it permanent.

Regardless of whether or not the State of Oregon does this, starting in next years models (2007) General Motors will be installing similar GPS tracking devices in over 1,000,000 vehicles. How are you fixed for paranoia America?

And finally Slick Willie who has become the darling of the far right since leaving Washington showed up at a Lieberman Israel/America Bund Rally. Here we see Bill and Unka Joe giving the Rethuglican salute! Can a heil Bush be far behind? Isn't it good to finally see Clinton come out of the closet?
