For those who drive a car with Onstar or other directional services, beware, you may be being tracked by satellite!  Of course, that is how these things work.  But this data from the satellite may also be used against in the court of law coming soon.  Have you ever driven 85 miles an hour?  It's on the computer in your car?  Have you been to the local brothel lately?  That's on there too.  Check out this article from msn that will tell you more about the advantages (and drawbacks) to having a tracking device on your car.

Pay special attention to page 2 of the article.  It has a store about a gentleman that got fined by a rental car agency (though not by police) for going 85 miles an hour in the rental car.  He fought the 450 dollar fine in court and won.  But he didn't win because of concerns about privacy.  The reason he won was because the rental car company didn't adequately warn him of the consequences of the technology in its car.  The court failed to condemn the technology or its usage by the rental car company.  

This capability could soon be coming to a cell phone near (or on) you, if it hasn't already.  If your cell phone has GPS type capabilities, you may already be subject to tracking via satellite without you having a clue!  Check out these articles:   http://www.mercurynews.com/traffic/ci_8215860

And these aren't the only devices that could be tracking you or giving out private information about yourself.  Pretty soon just about everything could easily be equipped with a tracking device.  Check out this chilling news story about RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Devices):  http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5horCnXwgKPtGux2O2AuN6aeBXjbAD8UDMN980

  Well, as everybody in the nation is well aware, George W. Bush has been in office for 7 years.  His first election, which was won with the electoral college (despite getting less popular votes than Gore), has raised doubts about the legitimacy of his election, especially concerning Florida.  Now, I'm sure everybody remembers people in Florida getting worked up over voting for Buchanan instead of Gore, and all that hoopla, and Gore did seem like a sore loser with recount after recount being ordered by him.  But now, it all seems very understandable.  Gore, with all the votes in, probably did get screwed.  How can I say that?  Well, it's rather simple:  Palm Beach County.

  Taking a look at this website, as well as other statistical measures of the Buchanan vs. Gore vote in Florida, Buchanan, a conservative third party candidate, had his largest success in Palm Beach County, which is known for leaning to the left.  In fact, Buchanan had three times as many votes in Palm Beach County as he did in any other county in Florida.  This leads the observer to question why he had such success in Palm Beach County.  Looking at the punch hole ballot however, casts some light on this issue.  Another interesting support for this argument is found in the above website in the statement, "It appears that over 19,000 Palm Beach voters saw that they had made that mistake and then punched the correct third hole for Al Gore, also. These ballots were rejected by the vote counting machine as double-voted ballots."  In plain English, that means that 19,000 ballots had a vote for Gore and for Buchanan.  Considering which one got the popular vote, it's likely that the great majority (90% plus) of those ballots were intended as votes for Gore, and not for Buchanan.


  In the meantime, we have disenfranchised voters from New York who could not vote for their candidate of choice, Ron Paul, because they were told he had dropped out of the race:  http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_gigi_bow_080207_a_new_york_state_of_.htm

  That's not the only problem though.  Apparently voting machines can be hacked or otherwise compromised with something as simple as a magnet.  For more advanced techniques, it might require a little bit of doing, but do you think that would stop somebody who had a vested interest in one of the two major parties gaining the white house in November?  http://www.russiatoday.ru/news/news/20152

  However, as far as the electronic machines go, there is currently a bill in Congress that would offer money to voting districts across the nation that had equipped their machines to leave a paper trail or convert to paper ballots for the November election.  With the concerns about electronic machines and paper trails and the unreliability of these machines, this might be a bill worth supporting.  Take a look here:  http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hM24D2P_dBmIDGu_u_mPKthDHpGQD8U841PG0

  With all this going, apparently many Californian counties switched to paper ballots in a hurry before Super Tuesday:  http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2008/02/04/news/top_stories/17_55_082_3_08.txt

  But until notified otherwise, stay tuned.  It's quite possible for electronic votes to be miscounted and otherwise manipulated as well. 



 

  This domain was set up to shed light on politics.  The United States of America is supposed to be a democracy, and it is, to some extent.  However, the people usually end up getting left out of the political process when it comes to many things, and what's more, they aren't typically aware of it.  In 1997, Congress gave away our airwaves, which, at the time, were valued at about 50 billion dollars, for nothing.  Another thing that disturbingly few people are aware of is that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11 attacks.  However, President Bush did a good job of selling that to America, despite the 9/11 Commission finding otherwise.  What's more is that the majority of our troops, according to a survey on informationclearinghous, want to withdraw from Iraq within a year.  How's that for confidence in your mission?  Yet, in the meantime, we're too busy worrying about illegal immigrants, and how they don't pay taxes (except that they really do pay taxes every year).  That's just a short sample of what this blog is going to be all about.  Of course, I will provide the links to vital information.  After all, you shouldn't take my word for it, but see it for yourself, then make up your mind.  This is about providing information in order to free your mind.  But be forewarned, the government doesn't want you to know, so the truth is treason.
