Satellites no longer search for Osama bin Laden and al Kaida

americangoy.blogspot.com — The Cold War is over. The spy satellites that spied on the Soviet Union, the satellites that searched for al Kaida and Osama bin Laden were today just given a new, more dangerous target. Us.

  • caferrell, on 04/13/2008, -0/+19What is the deal?
    What is in the minds and private conversations of these men like Chertoff and Cheney and Bush? What do they say about us slobs out here beyond the beltway?
    Have they spooked themselves with their own lies about Al Qaeda?
    Is all the just done at the behest of Boeing, Martin Marrietta and Lockheed?
    Are they so cynical and evil that they plan a brownshirt takeover of our once free Republic?
    I really can no longer fathom what is the true motivation behind the machinizations of these men.
    • dansacks, on 04/14/2008, -6/+1just because we employ up-to-date technology does not mean we are going Orwellian. Please stop at some truck stops between here and the giant prison camp you envision. Have a burger and fries, and a shake.
      nobody cares about the mundane details of your schedule.
      • TrevaLVF, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Bewildered. Last to "know". A member of the herd that follows after the well informed and cries, "How did this happen? What do we do? Somebody, do something about this." That will be you. You've been getting fair warning. Try not to trouble anybody with lame excuses and finger-pointing, or silly attempts to rationalize away the obvious when reality finally snaps you out of your delusional state of mind.
  • AvangionQ, on 04/13/2008, -2/+4What the hell was that? A flood of people trampling the fallen to be the first to get into a shopping mall ... sometimes, I just don't understand my fellow man ...
    • americangoy, on 04/13/2008, -0/+6wrong article - that was the previous one :-)
  • RomanThommassen, on 04/13/2008, -0/+14The third world war will be the war on the people.
    • TrevaLVF, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5This is obvious to some of us.
    • dansacks, on 04/14/2008, -0/+21000's of years people have been saying things like that , but this time, you 2 are gonna be right...
      silly
  • macwac, on 04/13/2008, -0/+9The simple question: There is a group of people that wish to control you, will you let that happen?
  • CSHYDRASHOK, on 04/13/2008, -3/+2Why cant we just spy on China? How did the people of this country let our government get this way? So paranoid that they are going to spy on us with satellites?
    • americangoy, on 04/13/2008, -0/+6These are all rhetorical questions and you know the answers to them...
    • dansacks, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2yep. satellites only spying on us. not china or russia or iran etc. you got it. come on think it through before you get all despondent
  • prompel, on 04/13/2008, -0/+8Well, the biggest threat to the US Government at this point is the people of the US. And the biggest threat to the people of the US at this point is the US Government. I can only wish you all good luck.
  • Look4Truth, on 04/14/2008, -1/+10Osama is ten feet under and Al CIAda is the creation of the establishment...no need to search.
    • Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -1/+4you mean Tim Osman, CIA asset, AKA Ossman, AKA Osama Bin Laden? yeah, he's been dead for years...
  • davharrington, on 04/14/2008, -4/+1Buried the last thing this BS story needs is "more play on DIGG", curious name of the poster though.
    • americangoy, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5Yawn.

      I guess using a Washington Post article that states:
      "The Bush administration said yesterday that it plans to start using the nation's most advanced spy technology for domestic purposes soon (...)
      Sophisticated overhead sensor data will be used for law enforcement once privacy and civil rights concerns are resolved"

      Nothing to see here, move along citizen... move along :-)
    • dansacks, on 04/14/2008, -4/+2The story was simple, but the comments by the people that buy into this nonsense is outright insane. might digg it for entertainment value.
  • USNavyBlue, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1Just located what those spy satellites will be used for next!

    HR 1593 SECOND CHANCE ACT OF 2007/ CHOICE OF COLOR

    (The bill should be called the Cattle-ID for the US citizens Act)

    Title 2, Sec.214

    Authorizes the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, in consultation with the Attorney General, to establish the Federal Remote Satellite Tracking and Reentry Training (ReStart) program to promote the effective reentry into the community of high risk individuals (i.e., individuals who violated terms of release or are at a high risk of recidivism). Authorizes appropriations for FY2009-FY2010.

    (Sec. 103) Revises the definition of "violent offender" for purposes of the drug court grant program to include an offender who has been convicted of an offense punishable by a prison term of more than one year.

    That means everyone ever convicted of a crime ever in the US including misdemeanors and some traffic violations.

    And now we know what all the FEMA prisons were built for(:
    • americangoy, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1hmmmm
      do not think that's the bill that deals with this matter?
