Stop paying taxes to save money and force government leaders to listen to the citizenry, the people who put them in office.

I dunno, but I think it's against the law to encourage people to do that.

Re: X-files or...........

When I looked around a bit, I found that Pakalert looks to be a propaganda website sponsored by groups within Pakistan. Highlighting the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" on their "About" page sort of says it all. Is it possible that they might be exaggerating things a little for effect? Could their interests possibly be at odds with ours? Is there some hidden agenda behind their fearful rhetoric? Will I ever stop asking rhetorical quesions?

I remember listening to Radio Moscow during the cold war and getting a chuckle out of their propaganda and the thought that anybody would fall for it. Now, of course, cable news has worse propaganda and that means that the many nations have to compete for the truly miniscule mindshare remaining among the gullible in the so called Free World.

It was one of his campaign promises, sort of

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

...

I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military. How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?

Now, maybe he was misquoted by the Congressional Quarterly and the Chicago Tribune. I guess it's possible. If so, you would think he would want to set the record straight. Maybe he misspoke. That has certainly happened before. Again, why wouldn't the rest of my colleagues show some curiosity about such a major and, frankly, bone-chilling proposition?

Are we talking about creating a police state here?

The U.S. Army alone has nearly 500,000 troops. That doesn't count reserves or National Guard. In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion.

Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?
