Coming Soon: Flying Fascism on Your Doorstep

New high-tech surveillance equipment revealed at the Redstone Arsenal's Weekly Arms Bazaar promises a dismal future for freedom-loving people of the world..

The Friendly Colonel has filed the latest report from the most recent arms show at the Redstone Arsenal, which has been shut down and is essentially used for storage. Housed in this facility are several thousands of the new modified urban control Humvees, equipped with 14.5 mm cannons as well as many aerials and satellite dishes. Some are camouflage in color, but most of them are dark matte gray. They looked like they were painted with a sealer coat of paint (primer paint), before the final coat is painted on depending on the theater of operation in which they will be used.

Of greater significance was the introduction of the new DCHD (Domestic Control Hover Drones), which were displayed and offered for sale. They're about a meter in diameter and probably weigh about twenty kilograms each. It looks like a life ring (life preserver) with a motor in the middle of it.

The Chinese and Russian arms dealers were interested in them, and evidently the British Government has been one of this device's primary buyers. Evidently we're not selling them to a lot of foreign countries at this time, but still building inventories for ourselves. Each of these DCHDs costs $178,000 a copy.

He met with an Iranian colonel who is some sort of an engineer, who was trying to explain to him what these things can do. The Friendly Colonel admitted that he didn't even know such technology even existed.

Here are some specs. They can hover to a maximum ceiling of 500 feet, although they're really meant to hover about 50 feet off the ground. They not only hover, but they can go forward and back. Their maximum speed is 50 miles an hour, and they can stay aloft for up to three hours at a time. There are counter-rotating rotors in the middle of the device with what appears to be an engine on top. All of the internal components appear to be made of some sort of super-advanced composite, like boron-graphite composite material that is very, very light, but is also very strong. The propellers are also made of this same material, and they weigh practically nothing.

There are two counter-rotating propellers, two propellers that rotate counter-synchronously, the way the Russians used to build turbo-prop airplanes like the TU-95s. The reason they do it that way is because it gives a much higher speed, lift and stability.

They're controlled electronically -- either through satellites or through what they call Fixed or Mobile Relay Command Centers, built right into the Humvee. They showed how the two worked together.

The Friendly Colonel reports that inside this Humvee, which can control a certain quad of these things, it looked like the inside of a spaceship. The components and views screens, which appear to be holographic, and the technology are simply amazing -- "It's like nothing you ever saw."

The surveillance drones come in different color schemes -- a very dark black matte for night use or a two-tone matte white and sky blue top -- so it's hard to see them during the day.

They started one of these hover drones up, and he said it virtually makes no sound at all. Even if you're ten feet away, you couldn't hear the thing. That's how quiet they are.

They are fitted with what is purported to be one of the most-advanced micro-cameras ever invented by the US Government. Through satellites, their transmission capability is virtually limitless. Satellites can access its transmissions and give it directions, signals, codes, and tell it what to do.

They can be pre-programmed for certain flight paths, but the computer has the ability to think, so that if it acquires a target, it can deviate from a flight path. It also has sensors so it can get out of the way and not run into a tree or the side of a building. It also has infrared cameras and high-resolution night cameras with multiple neutral density filters.

They also have see-through capability -- with a thermal imaging sensor camera, which can actually see inside of buildings and see through walls. The device is meant to be used as a domestic control drone. It not only has cameras, but the most sensitive audio receivers that have ever been made. It can pick up a human conversation from five hundred feet away -- one human conversation. Not only can they photograph and relay still shots and real time video and transmit video, but they also have a "non-lethal" weapons capability, some sort of stun gun based on energy discharge technology. They're powered by what's known as a fusion power cell, which looks like a square pack of film. The power is produced through some sort of chemical reaction.

These drones can stop and detain people. Since they have a microphone, they can hover right in your face, while you're looking into the camera. It also has a transmitter, which can play pre-recorded messages, or someone can actually talk to you even though they're a thousand miles away.

During the demonstration, they hovered the thing around the room and then it came down in front of this Air Force captain's face, and it said, "Citizen, kindly present your national identification card."

Then a little telescoping plate comes out of it, and you're supposed to hold your national identification card in front of this plate. They wouldn't reveal all of its abilities of the drone because some of it was still classified. The manufacturer is the same company, located in Indiana, which makes other equipment for the NSA.

Let's think about where this device could be used. How about South Central Los Angeles street corners? Using these devices, only Government-Authorized crack dealers would be able to sell their product. Crack dealers, not approved by the Government, could then be sanctioned -- or removed.

The exhibit hall had high-definition presentation screens around the room, which showed how these things could be used. It showed them moving down a darkened street at night, and then it showed what the cameras were seeing, pictures of the people and how they looked through an infra red camera and an ultra violet camera and how different images looked through different camera receptors. It looked like it was right out of Star Trek.

(Author's Note: Usually we wouldn't publish this information, which could be construed as conspiratorial in nature. However, since it came from a reliable source, actually present on site, we decided it was important for Al Martin Raw readers to know the facts.)

There was actually a computer generated voice simulator, which announced, "Base price starts at just $178,543 for the Class IV model." Then it proceeded to announce the prices for all the options and add-ons, which could bring the total price up to $350,000.

And who would be most interested in buying these items? As the Friendly Colonel pointed out, as usual, there were a lot of Russian and Chinese arms dealers there -- but you never really know their ultimate clients. And there were some military officers (they had staff patches) who appeared to be from the Office of Homeland Security, although they don't have military designation insignia yet.

These surveillance drones could be used in Small Town America -- to cruise down the streets to seek out those who are potential threats to the security of the State - those who are "disloyal," those who are "different," and those who have already been deemed to be suspicious by Neighborhood Watch Groups, following the new protocols and reported to the newly created Civilian Defense Force.

At any rate, it was a very slick and very well done presentation. They had the giant Australian prawns, lightly fried in a light batter and served with an oriental plum sauce. The Friendly Colonel says they were just out of this world -- and there was an open bar, of course. He said there's nothing like having taxpayer-funded prime rib and shrimp.

Coming soon to your neighborhood -- sci-fi fascism. People already understand that this advanced technology exists, and the government has not denied that they are using miniaturized fusion power cells. The reason they're not making a big deal out of it is because people would say, "let's replace the oil industry with fusion power." And that is something that even I understand could not be done -- without massive economic dislocation, of course.

Domestic and foreign spying to be enhanced by micro aircraft.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 18, 2002
MICRO AIR VEHICLE SETS ENDURANCE FLIGHT RECORD

The WASP micro air vehicle used multifunctional structure/power materials to set an endurance
flight record during tests this summer. The WASP flew for one hour 47 minutes, more than three times
the previous micro air vehicle endurance record of 30 minutes set two years ago.
The WASP design replaces separate battery and wing structure components with a
multifunctional structure/battery material system that supplies electrical energy for propulsion while
carrying mechanical and aerodynamic wing loads. The WASP is the first in a series of developmental
micro air vehicles designed to demonstrate performance enhancement through the use of these unique
multifunctional materials.
The WASP is being developed under DARPA’s Synthetic Multifunctional Materials program,
which is exploring materials that combine the function of structure with another critical system function
such as power, repair, or ballistic protection. The combination is expected to optimize system
performance and realize improved or new capabilities for military systems.
The WASP is a radio-controlled vehicle with a “flying-wing” design. The wingspan is 13 inches
and the combined wing structure/battery pack weighs 120 grams. The total weight of the vehicle is 170
grams (six ounces). The vehicle uses off-the-shelf components and lithium-ion batteries, which produce
the highest energy density among all rechargeable battery systems. The energy density of the battery
structure was 143 watts per kilogram, with an average output power of over nine watts during the flight.
The aircraft is stable and simple to fly using manually operated ground control of the aircraft’s
throttle, rudder, and elevator surfaces. The next generation of WASP will incorporate a simple autopilot
and carry a color video camera payload.

The aircraft design, fabrication, and flight test were performed by AeroVironment Inc., Simi
Valley, Calif. Telcordia Technologies, Red Bank, N.J., contributed to the conceptual design of the wing
structure-battery and supplied the custom-designed, plastic lithium-ion battery materials that were
incorporated into the WASP wing. The Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C., contributed to the
conceptual design of the wing structure-battery and helped to coordinate the prototype development.

Use of drones in domestic surveillance advocated

By MICHAEL HEDGES
Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON -- Impressed with the success of pilotless aircraft in the U.S. attack on Afghanistan, some officials want to explore whether they can help patrol the borders or catch drug traffickers and terrorists inside America.

But while Americans marveled at the use of the lethal drones to spot and sometimes destroy targets during Operation Enduring Freedom, they might be less excited about having a government eye-in-the-sky looking over their shoulders, some critics warned.

Still, several lawmakers are ready to move forward.

"I have long supported the use of unmanned aerial vehicles by the U.S. military, and I believe that the potential applications for this technology in the area of homeland defense are quite compelling," said Sen. John Warner, R-Va. "In this day of unprecedented threats against our nation, it is vital that we use all tools available to protect our nation against terrorist attack," he said.

Warner said he would ask President Bush to order a study of how UAVs, or drones, could be used by domestic federal agencies without "unduly sacrificing the privacy rights of our citizens."

(MECH LAUGHING HIS @SS OFF!!!!!!!)

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., a strong advocate of tougher control on illegal immigration, is even more enthusiastic about the use of drones.

"I think they can be tremendously effective in helping to stop illegal immigration into this country," he said. "They can also be a great weapon against drugs smuggled into the country."

Officials are not yet set on using any particular type of drone; manufacturers make them with varying capacities. But Tancredo said using drones -- with the military at the controls -- could help, "address the old canard that the borders are too long and extensive and we don't have the resources to effectively police them."

Bush administration officials were noncommittal about the prospect of widespread use of drones inside the United States, either under military supervision or in the hands of civilian law enforcement.

A spokesman for the White House Office of Homeland Security said Director Tom Ridge would not comment on the issue at least until after the office transitioned into the new, Cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security early next year.

One White House anti-drug official said, "We'd love to see the UAVs involved in helping stop drugs from crossing the border. But the fact is, the ones that are out there are being grabbed up by the military right now."

Drones have some attractive capabilities for assignments like patrolling a remote section of the border, or being an airborne sentinel guarding pipelines, reservoirs or power plants from sabotage by terrorists, supporters contend.

They can hover for hours or days over an area without risk of pilot fatigue. Their eyes -- video cameras -- are able to give a fairly clear picture of activity on the ground at an altitude of 25,000 feet or more. One experimental drone called the Global Hawk flies at 66,000 feet.

But having an unmanned aircraft that surreptitiously can monitor people has a creepy, Orwellian feel to some experts on privacy issues.

Wayne Crews, of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, said, "We have arrived at that eye-in-the-sky that people instinctively fear. This is an area where we have to tread very carefully."

The fear of Crews and others is that the use of drones will become commonplace and law enforcement agencies will use them in ways that violate Fourth Amendment protections against unwarranted searches.

"I believe it crosses that line as soon as a person can be identified and is tracked without probable cause to do so," he said. "At some point, this is more than just a high-tech cop on a new kind of souped-up beat. If somebody was scoping out a particular home or neighborhood, that would be a problem."

Advocates of the use of drones like Tancredo say there is little difference in using an unmanned drone for law enforcement and using satellites, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters or even a federal officer in a concealed vehicle watching through binoculars.

Early model drones have been used in a limited way for drug interdiction efforts along the U.S. borders for several years, mostly as part of operations like the Joint Task Force 6 in which the military conducts anti-drug missions and training exercises.

Among the federal agencies involved in JTF-6 operations using aerial drones is the Border Patrol, said spokesman Mario Villarreal.

"We have done a couple of these operations along the southwest border. We have used them in Texas," he said.

So far, each time drones have been used, they have been operated by military personnel, Villarreal said. "The Border Patrol does not utilize them on a daily or ongoing basis."

Tancredo witnessed an operation in northern Idaho in August in which a Pioneer drone -- a small UAV that flies relatively low and makes a distinctive "lawn mower" type sound -- gave its U.S. Marine operators a video bead on some suspicious vehicles making an unauthorized crossing.

The Marines alerted local law enforcement authorities and U.S. Border Patrol and Forestry Service officers. Two people were arrested with about 100 pounds of premium-grade marijuana.

Such limited operations involving drones have been going on for at least a decade, said Brad Brown, president of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, located in northern Virginia.

Brown said the industry is seeing growing interest from federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in using the unmanned aerial surveillance systems.

"There aren't any contracts yet, but some of the sub-agencies within the Homeland Security department are looking into them," he said.

For the drones to be used inside the United States., some issues would have to be resolved, experts said.

Brown concedes that the designs of the aircraft "do not come close to meeting FAA standards for flying over populated areas. That is what helps keep the price down."

And current Federal Aviation Administration regulations would forbid the use of the aerial drones anywhere near the flight paths of manned aircraft.

Also, industry officials concede that buying just a few of the drones might not prove all that cost-effective for agencies, compared to just using fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters for surveillance missions.

The Predator that the CIA used to lethal effect in Afghanistan and Yemen costs just under $1 million. Some systems, like one drone called the Shadow, are less expensive -- around $350,000. But all require a well-trained crew to be effective, which adds to the cost of operation.

Right now, the Predator drones and others with high-tech capabilities like the Shadow, are being snapped up by the military.

But Brown said manufacturers within a couple of years could meet the demand of federal law enforcement agencies -- should such a demand develop.

Tancredo said there was no need to wait for civilian agencies to acquire the drones. He wants them deployed with military units along the borders.

"We don't have time to bring a new agency (Homeland Security) on line with tactics and training. We should get the military involved with their equipment," he said.

SOUNDS LIKE A FREE AND CONSTITUTIONAL COUNTRY TO YOU???????

Rednecks vs. Ragheads:
Another Phony Terrorist Alert

(September 16) The latest phony terrorist "incident" bespeaks volumes about both the United States and the so-called "War on Terrorism." The incident on Friday September 13th began when three young men of apparently Middle Eastern extraction stopped for breakfast at a coffee shop in Georgia. The waitress in Cobb County, Georgia (The Yee Haw Capital of the United States) was one of those old bleached blonde Georgia trailer park crackers, who didn't even know how many kids she had. You get the picture. Anyway she waited on these guys and after they left, she immediately called the police and told them that she "heard these A-Rabs and they wuz talkin' about Ex-Plosives." Then she added that she couldn't understand them because "they wuz A-Rabs." In this environment, you can imagine where it went.

The Georgia State Police called the local FEMA and the FEMA called the Office of Homeland Security. Then an officer from the Office of Homeland Security talks to this gal from his office in Washington and, of course, he could hardly understand what she was saying. This guy said that the reason the response teams took so long is because they couldn't understand what she was saying. And the reason he couldn't understand? She said "I was so dang nervous, I had to have me a chaw of tobacc-er." So she was chewing and talking at the same time.

They're complaining that they're short of translators. They should start advertising for "Billy Bob" translators. Requirements are -- Chewing tobacco. Eating barbequed ribs. Must have pickup truck with Confederate flag.

Anyway the waitress made note of the car and gave them a description and even the license plate. They knew the car was heading south and the Office of Homeland Security contacts the Florida State Police and gets them in a lather. Finally they find the car on I-75, crossing into the State of Florida in the famous "Alligator Alley."

The car is then stopped and they use 19 state police cars and 4 helicopters to stop these 3 guys. They determined that one was of Iraqi descent, one was of Iranian descent and one was of Saudi descent, but in fact they're all US citizens. They handcuff them and shackle their legs and search the cars but they couldn't find any explosives. They brought in dogs. They found no explosives, no illegal currency, and no inflammatory Muslim literature. Absolutely nothing.

These three guys kept trying to talk and since Florida is no different than Georgia, the Florida State Police were trying to understand these guys but they're so stupid they thought these guys had an Arab accent. Actually they didn't. As it turns out these men are very well educated and spoke in slightly clipped British accents. They spoke beautiful English. No wonder the hayseeds couldn't understand them.

So here are the "A-Rab" suspects that are able to speak better English than those who are after them. The Florida Police couldn't understand them either. They showed this great big Florida cop named "Bo-Bo." His name was Captain Bobo and he was practically bald, his haircut was so short. He also distinguished himslef by wearing his State Trooper hat on with the strap backwards. This guy says in a real thick Billy bob accent, "Well, we caint unnerstan these folks."

This phony terrorist incident was then stretched into an all day news event on Friday, September 13. The real reason it took so long for the intelligence to pass back and forth is that none of the Americans who were talking to each other could understand each other. But the Arabs could understand what everyone was saying, and no one could understand the Arabs because they were significantly better educated and better spoken than all of the other people, from the cracker waitress to the state police and everybody else involved.

The Arabs were completely scared because they couldn't understand the way these people were talking either. They didn't even think these people were speaking English. The funny thing is that the so-called would be "terrorists" were more frightened of "us" because they were frightened that "we" couldn't speak English.

We understand that the FBI is looking for interpreters who can speak Arabic and Farsi, but they really should be looking for interpreters who can speak "Billy Bob" or "Yeehaw" -- that foreign language they speak south of the Mason Dixon line.

The men were medical students and one of them said that this was the first time he ever got pulled over by 700 cops -- 700 tobacco chewing cops with buzz-cuts, he should have added.

The Florida State Cops were admonished because when they pulled these guys over, the cops could not pronounce nor could they remember their names so they kept addressing them as "Ahab the A-Rab."

In other news, on September 9, the US Mint announced that they are beginning to redesign the nation's coinage -- from the one cent to the new fifty-cent piece. The mint announced they want to redesign the coinage in the spirit of "The New Era of State Security." The Federal Eagle, which is now on the back of the Washington quarter, called the Federal neo-Greco Romanesque eagle, will change as will the heraldic eagle, which is featured on the back of the half dollar. They will be changed to the New Imperial State Eagle that the post office is using on the 57-cent stamp. The US Mint has announced that the redesigned coinage is meant to reflect the New Power of the State.

There was even a debate about the new half dollar -- whether to put George Bush on it. This may seem extreme to some citizens, but it's interesting to note that there was a provision that was recently snuck on to a small security appropriation, which hardly anyone knows about. It was a provision to remove the restriction about having living people put on US coinage. As the law stands now, no edifice of a living person can appear on US coinage, but the Bush Administration now wants to overturn it. That law has existed for a very long time -- since the end of the Civil War.

Maybe there will even be US postage stamps with live Bush Cabalists. Imagine a John Ashcroft stamp or a Richard Armitage commemorative stamp. It could be called the Bush Cabal Commemorative series.

For instance on the Richard Armitage stamp, there would be the legend -- "Never saw a kilo of cocaine he didn't want to traffic in." They will all have their Official Legends.

There's also a big movement now in Virginia to have Oliver North put on a postage stamp. His fan club is pressing Congress to do this. The stamp will have "Oliver North" on the bottom with a head shot of him and the legend will read "Never saw a document he didn't want to shred."

I think it's a good idea. I also heard what Sen. John Warner, one of the most ardent Bush Cabalists in the Senate and the mouthpiece of the Bush Administration, said. He never liked the idea of the Kennedy half-dollar, but he likes the idea of putting George Bush on the front of a new 50-cent piece -- with a crown on his head. It was at a cocktail party in Alexandria and they were talking about putting George Bush on the obverse design of a new 50-cent piece. Maybe it will say, "Georgus I, Rex Imperius Americanus FD (Defender of the Faith)"

The Bushes have always been enamored of the British custom of imprinting Latin legends on coins -- as in Elizabeth II De Gratia. The legend that has been discussed is "Georgus I De Gratia Rex Statum Americanum Imp: FD" This would translate as "George the First by the Grace of God, King-Emperor of the United States, Defender of the Faith."

This reminds us of the painting of George Washington in the Capitol Building, in which he is portrayed as rising into the clouds. This is called apotheosis, wherein the human is translated into the divine by imperial decree. The Bushes want to bring back the Roman Salad Days, when a man was a man and he had as many boys as he wanted…

There's a new commercial sponsored by the American Ad Council that's akin to the one we wrote about in which a kid comes into a library and asks for a book and he's told that the book has been put on the seditious list. Then the librarian pushes a button and two guys in JC Penney suits and Rayban sunglasses take him away.

This new commercial is a full sixty-second spot, and it is beautifully done. It shows a city and the police cars in the city have "State Security" on the side, not "Police" The officers have gray uniforms with gray helmets and face visors. You can hear the whirr of the domestic surveillance hover drones and there are blockades everywhere with signs warning citizens to have their National ID cards ready.

A kid comes by in an old car and he's dressed in camouflage fatigues and he's got a beret on and the State Security runs his license and they say that he's a "Suspected 312" And they show you that "Suspected 312" is "suspected smuggler of seditious publications" and they chase him through this tunnel, stop him, handcuff him and start searching the car.

Under the backseat, they find all these newspapers, which have already been stamped "Seditious." Then they show the State Security confiscating them and driving the kid to a facility with barbed wire with a sign that reads something like Civilian Detention Facility Block No 1438B. It's all these gray cement buildings with no windows and barbed wire.

They showed this TV spot on CNN, but it's a great counterpoint to all this Sickly Sweet Patriotism going on today on the Anniversary of 9-11. They also showed Rudy Giuliani and Governor Pataki cheering on the crowd as in, "Come on boys; let's have a rally; it's patriotic to buy stocks today."

You don't have to worry about the incessant economic malfeasance of the Bush Cabal, which is driving stock prices lower. Be patriotic and buy stock. But the atmosphere has been so sickly sweet I even kept the Fluffster, the American Dissident Cat, inside today.

Also there's another new public service ad for AmeriCorp Volunteers. It shows an employment office, and there's people lined up with their resumes and there's a government worker with a bunch of different rubber stamps. The first guy in line hands her a resume and says, "Well, I want to be a volunteer fireman." And she looks at the resume and stamps the resume with a rubber stamp - Under qualified. And hands it back to him. Then a woman in back of him hands in her resume and says, "I want to be a volunteer policewoman." And she hands her the resume and again the woman stamps it - Underqualified. Then the third person in line (of all people) is Ollie North. He hands her his resume and she asks him, "Well Colonel, what kind of volunteer job do you want?" And he says, "I want to be a Volunteer Document Shredder." And she looks at his resume and stamps it - BOMP-- Overqualified. And she hands it back to him, and he goes away with a look of disappointment on his face.

In his recent speech, Bush mentioned that stock prices are coming back and there have been substantial rallies in high technology stocks and some have even doubled in the last month. It's true, but what he's not saying is the rest of the story. For instance, people bought Nortel Networks and Lucent Technologies at about $50. Then the stock went down to a buck. And now the stock has doubled to two dollars. And when he says that high technology stocks have doubled in recent weeks, it's true that the stock went from one buck to two bucks. Of course, what he isn't saying is that most people are into it at fifty.

Coincidentally Eli Lilly announced that Prozac sales are at an all time high and they're coming out with a new improved time released mega Prozac. The Eli Lilly representative said it was apropos to the time. They showed a point of purchase display for pharmacy counters. It has a photo of people looking down at their 401(K) statements. They're looking really depressed, and the caption says, "Life Sucks. Take Prozac.

" The IRS just announced with great fanfare that it's changing directions. They actually hired an outside public relations firm to announce their new direction. They said that since the very day George Bush was elected (never mind him getting in office) the Republicans in Congress have been pressuring the IRS to devote less resources to investigating wealthy Republican Scamscateers and to devote more resources to investigating "misuse" of the Earned Income Tax Credit by the working poor, where the Republicans say there's "an awful lot of fraud down there at the bottom."

As the IRS points out, the most you can scam out of it is $517. It simply isn't possible to scam them out of any more money using the Earned Income Tax Credit. They said that when Orrin Hatch said there's an awful lot of fraud at the bottom, he was being rather disingenuous.

The IRS has said that for every dollar they've spent, they've recovered just seventeen cents from the working poor. Even the IRS noted just how political this was, insofar as 92 % of the working poor that take advantage of this tax credit are Democrats. This was front page in all the major papers. The IRS is making a big deal out of this on purpose. The reason is to get public cover because they say they're going to stand up to the Bush Cabal and they will no longer be kowtowing to them and they will shift a massive amount of investigative assets to investigating Republican Scamscateers. As in - where did WorldCom Founder Bernie Ebbers' $408 million go?

The New York Post has a big picture of Tyco Chairman Dennis Kozlowski and the headline reads "Oink Oink." And they say that fervent Bushonian Cabalist and notorious Republican Scamscateer Dennis Kozlowski will be their first target. Then they said, "The Bush White House has remained suspiciously silent in front of the new IRS onslaught."

IRS Chief Chuck Rossotti himself is mixed up in so much nonsense that this is one way to deflect any criticism of him. Using its investigative resources, Al Martin Raw.com found out that immediately after the announcement by the IRS, the Federal Reserve International Wire Transfer reported substantial outflows from high profile Republicans to their numbered off-shore accounts.

Even the mainstream media has started using the word "Republican" in front of Scamscateers. I get criticized on radio shows for this all the time and I say you can't help it because they have all the money. People say certainly there are Democrats too and I say sure there's a few. That's why when the Trafficants of this world come along, the government goes after them so hard and makes such a big deal out of them. But they're a rare breed.

Statistically, the top 1% of the people control two-thirds of the wealth of the nation, and 78% of them are Republicans.

74% of all people in the United States, whose net worth is above $3 million, are Republicans.

68% of all those who earn more than $250,000 a year are Republicans.

To put "Republican" in front of "Scamscateers" is just natural. Of all the insurance swindles, banking swindles, oil and gas swindles, real estate swindles, or all the frauds committed in the nation - 92% of scams above $2 million are committed by Republicans.

And here's a final note of encouragement for all those so-called "patriots" who buy American Flags Made in China.

According to a recent press release by Sinecom, the Chinese State news agency, 83 % of the American flags sold in the United States are made in China.

Sinecom reported that the unexpectedly large increase in export revenues, due to the sales of Chinese-made US flags in the United States, allowed the Chinese military to build four additional thermonuclear tipped intercontonental ballistic missiles, which are now targeted at American cities.

Remember that flying a flag on your car reduces the fuel efficiency by 5% -- per flag. So all of you flag wavers who insist on wearing your patriotism on you shirtsleeves, you just continue to buy American flags. Your Uncle Sam doesn't need you, but the Chinese Government and the Big Oil Companies do.

It brings to mind the words of the late Communist dictator Nikita Krushchev, who said something like -- "You Americans are so stupid, you'll sell us the rope we'll hang you with."

AL MARTIN is America's foremost expert on corporate and government fraud. A relentless whistleblower, he has written a book called, "The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran Contra Insider," which chronicles his adventures with the Bush Cabal (National Liberty Press, Order Line: 877-317-1390). This detailed account of government criminal operations, namely State-sanctioned fraud, drug trafficking and illicit weapons sales, is unprecedented in publishing history. Al Martin is also well known for his great charm and profound insights into world events, and he is frequently interviewed on many talk radio shows across the nation. His weekly column "Behind the Scenes in the Beltway" is published regularly online at Al Martin Raw, ( http://www.almartinraw.com ).

A new eye in the sky drone which will be deployed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) is just one of the hi-tech devices that police are acquiring to combat increasingly "sophisticated" criminals.

The unmanned aerial surveillance drone will be deployed on a "trial" basis at the WSSD, Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula announced yesterday at a parliamentary briefing for diplomats and journalists.

Nqakula was cagey about releasing too much information about the craft's capabilities but said it could remain airborne for "a long period of time" and that "nobody can shoot it out of the air".

The drone would provide real time, high-quality images while monitoring events on the ground.

'Nobody can shoot it out of the air'
The minister also announced that the police had bought 50 high-performance cars to counter cash-in-transit robberies and drug smuggling.

Other hi-tech equipment in the gizmo "bag of tricks" include the acquisition of four new "Squirrel" helicopters, said Deputy National Commissioner Andre Pruis after the briefing. They cost R12-million each.

Police would acquire an additional six helicopters, two every year, over the next three years, he added.

Nqakula also said that police would be able to "sample" newly imported and locally manufactured explosives in order to trace the origin of explosives.

These samples would be placed in a databank which would be helpful in determining the origin of explosives used illegally and also who had bought them. The sampling requirements are contained in the new explosives Bill which also regulates pyrotechnics and fireworks.

Deputy Police Minister Joe Matthews said that the new Automated Fingerprinting and Identification System (AFIS) which would soon be implemented would provide police with a "great leap forward" in catching criminals.

Police were likely to identify "over a million wanted criminals" when AFIS was up and running. Police officers would also be able to use it to link up with the AFIS data base, he added.

It's for your own "Protection". If you disagree you must be with Al Qaida.

You are not doing your part for the "Homeland" Zoob.

Guns are bad. Shame on you.

Small Plane in Indiana Doing Police Work

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - A small airplane is circling this college town several times a day, raising fears of terrorism, but aviation officials say it is conducting law enforcement surveillance and no one should be alarmed.

Local and state police and the FBI, however, said they knew nothing about the aircraft.

The white, single-engine propeller airplane has been spotted at least since Feb. 19 making passes overhead about noon, in the late evening and after midnight.

Andrew Stevens tracked the plane one night from about 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.

``It kind of concerned me,'' Stevens said. After the plane flew away Friday night, Stevens said, ``I thought, 'I can take my own terror assessment back down to yellow.''' But then the plane returned Monday.

Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration and area airports said they could not comment about the plane beyond confirming that the flights were authorized.

``This is a very sensitive situation,'' Monroe County Airport manager Bruce Payton said Wednesday. ``I can only say that people should not be alarmed by this aircraft. This airplane is in contact with air traffic control.''

Law enforcement officials denied the airplane belonged to them or that they were aware of its mission.

``I can say of a certainty it's not anybody out of our post, and I've called the (Indianapolis) hangar and they say it's not any of our planes,'' said state police Lt. Michael Saltsman, commander at the Bloomington post.

I think that says it all.

Who are Bu$h's largest age bracket group who oppose the Iraq war and many of his policies?.....College students.

I'll bet that plane has all kinds of goodies on board...like HYPER/Ultawideband radar..that can see right through walls....all kinds of listening devices...you name it.

BLOOMINGTON, Indiana (AP) -- The FBI acknowledged that a small plane whose frequent, unexplained flights over the city had raised fears among some residents is being used by the agency to monitor people who might have terrorist connections.

Residents in this city of 69,000, home to the flagship campus of Indiana University, where more than 3,300 foreign students attend, have seen the white, single-engine Cessna 182 at least since February 19 making passes overhead about noon, in the late evening and after midnight.

Earlier in the week, when aviation officials disclosed that the aircraft was conducting surveillance, the FBI had denied any link to the plane.

Agent Thomas V. Fuentes said the FBI issued the denial because a reporter asked if the airplane is doing electronic surveillance, which it is not.

Fuentes and agent James H. Davis said the FBI is not aware of any threat to Bloomington or the state, but is watching many foreign nationals.

Several students at Indiana University have been questioned by FBI agents, university and agency officials confirmed. Agency spokesman Doug Garrison, however, would not say if those interviews were related to national security or the airplane's flights.

Besides individuals, Fuentes and Davis said, the aircraft is monitoring vehicles and businesses -- particularly those open late at night from which faxes or e-mails can be sent.

Fuentes said the aircraft is conducting surveillance flights over several communities near Indianapolis, the state capital.

Bloomington is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Indianapolis.
