Back in the beginning days of Free Republic we had many discussions on the Echelon spy system and Agenda 21.
We were aware of it then and the potential that existed for a spy system that would (not could) be used against all free Americans to control them.
Now look at what we have......the NSA that will invade every personal aspect of our lives so that the U.S. Government gestapo can arrest us at will for things we may have done, said, or thought.
IT’S HERE!
Collection network has been around for half a century or more. Only technology and the extent to which the government is willing coerce ISPs, etc. has changed.
I don’t remember talk about Agenda 21, but Echelon for sure.
Operation Mindcrime is now in effect.
A lodge buddy of my dad’s worked for NSA.
When asked about it, he liked to say there’s “no such agency.”
