Hedge, you are confusing the sheeple by putting out too many facts for them to absorb. They had rather blindly support these groups than to have to admit to the truth.
Lots of stuff from Global Research and Birch
Go back and read what I said. I said what I meant to say.
This has become SOP. Our political elites know better than to place any of this before the people as they should, because none of this would ever fly. Thus, the practice has become to sneak it in wherever they can but, for God's sake, keep quiet about it.
Which is why I am no longer able to trust the federal government. About anything.
For some reason I would think you would prefer the News/ activision page rather than chat. After all, Guiliani and his X are "important" news today. LOLOLOL
No thanks. It's clear that you do not know what you are saying, otherwise you'd clear it up. As for your comment that "[t]hey can call us conspiracy nuts all they want but notice they continue to read our threads to find out what is going on in this country," where else on this website can we find updated information on the concentration camps where we're all headed as soon as George Bush declares martial law? Hands down, these are the most entertaining threads on FR. Heck, you backpedal from comments you haven't had the opportunity to complete.
I abandoned this thread long ago but was called back by wolfman and southbound
Post #226 also has some good links.
We are not the only people who don't trust our government anymore.
I write Age Of Tyranny News for two purposes: First, to relate how a national emergency or event like a bird flu pandemic will establish martial law and tyrannical state corporate rule over the entire N. American continent.[chuckle]Secondly, to communicate sound wealth preservation and management principles so that one can prosper in the coming bear financial market.
Are you a big fan of Global Research?
That's from the link in comment #226.
Life must be Hell when they find themslves sitting at the table with Global Research and Age of Tyranny
Although if you think about it, Jerome Corsi is perfectly sane by comparison, and explains their devotion to him.
Talk about Discover the Network! Good show!
drooling devotion to him
You're welcome. But that was just the amount incurred by the DOD. It didn't include all government, nor any industry amounts.
Hamre stated that estimate on multiple occasions. Here is one source:
Q: What is the cost to get DOD compliant?DR. HAMRE: We think it cost us about $3.6 billion. And that's -- it's very frustrating to say that we had to spend $3.6 billion. I remember talking to a fairly senior chief information officer from a major corporation in America who was complaining that he had to spend $400 million, and when his CEO jumped him about it, he said, "I know it's a waste of money, but you have to do it to save your company." (Laughter.) And that's -- you know, and that's exactly what we had to do. We could not stand the consequence if we had not spent the $3.6 billion. In the process, we have much, much better positive control over our information systems. So we've gotten some good out of it, but we had to do this no matter what.
This might be a more comprehensive estimate, also from DefenseLink:
John Koskinen, the assistant to the president for Y2K matters, said he was pleasantly surprised at the lack of Y2K problems. ... Koskinen estimated the cost to fix the Millennium Bug worldwide was around $200 billion. DoD spent roughly $3.6 billion. Given the calm that has surrounded the rollover, some critics suggested DoD overreacted to the Y2K threat.
No, not me. They are entertaining as they have posted links to witches websites to photo galleries. That is all.
