    I agree entirely that my post was passionate. It was not an attempt to go in depth into the philosophical and human rights issues concerned with well thought out arguments, merely an effort to point out that civil liberties are under progressive attack and diminution, and that we let them die at our peril.

    I would have thought you above replying with pure ad-hominem attacks, aside from a couple of unsupportable statements/factoids:

    No you can not. You are stating something you can not support. However "good" you might be you don't actually know everything.

    From Social Network Topology Mapping:

    Prof. Peter Gloor showed off a tool that takes input from email records or online communities to create maps of social or business interactions, and Chandrika Samarth showed a real-life case study of how such mapping can lead to real process improvements in a real workplace, in this case a hospital. Characteristics like “betweenness,” “connectedness” and “sharing” are important attributes of social network nodes, also known as people. The charts show the communication between people as lines of length and thickness corresponding to the frequency and intensity of the interaction. Interesting data visualization, indeed
    Software for Social Network Analysis & Organizational Network Analysis


    I haven't even bothered really researching this. That's enough to show you were mistaken - and you can be very sure they (yes the Government) have spent more money developing tools for this than any commercial organisation and that little or no information about such will be in the public domain.

    Last time I looked Afghanistan and Zimbabwe were not part of Europe. The page on Wikipedia you link to even points out that Interpol is a massively international organisation that expands well beyond Europe.

    You like to attack me for the nature of my post but you are stating something as fact "Europe has Interpol" and giving a reference that proves it wrong. Not much of a winning argument that one.

    ps

    Further exacerbating the situation, social networks also provide a potential channel for peers to express frustrations and challenges, and to identify opportunities with each other, outside traditional structures and processes. The natural impulse in such an open environment may impel government toward control and con-straint rather than facilitation and enablement.
    (from an Australian Academic paper)

    This is what governments and the very small number of wealthy families that run the show are scared of: we might "identify opportunities with each other, outside of traditional frameworks" - i.e. outside of government control. God forbid that we should do that. So government wants to map and track our every move to nanny us and monitor those things we do "outside of traditional frameworks".

    The point here is that governments are increasingly treating all their citizens like criminals and a nanny-state is the result, then inevitably there will be a move towards fascism. This concentration of unbalanced power is unhealthy. It is why people fought for human rights and balance between the state and the individual. I'm not suggesting Gordon Brown is a fascist but once you give government a power it is very hard to take it back - and you never know whose hands it will end up in. In the last seven years all balance has been lost.

    BTW ... MP's correspondence is not subject to the freedom of information act. Yet government want free access to all of your information?

    If you follow the Washington Post you see that the level of surveillance that is now directed at us is now so high that when you get on a plane they know what you are reading, who you are sitting next to, where you are going when you get off the plane and the phone number of the person you are going to visit ....

    The fact is that 9/11 is totally debunked and was an inside job created to set up the fear and panic needed to fully domesticate the American polulace (successful). And now there is underway the creation of an artificial global panic and depression that will be used as the excuse for taking away MORE of your rights which you have been carefuly programmed to accept as "essential for your safety".

    I don't care who you think you are, but I'm highly offended that you would ever believe this. Keeping in mind that security regulations for people visiting the US AND airline safety were both much more lenient pre-9/11. It's not like it would have been hard to hijack the airplanes, as is obviated by the fact that it happened.

    Regardless, the fact that you're willing to attribute the deaths of thousands of innocent people to a government conspiracy is sickening.

    I agree with you. Plus, the government would never be able to carry out something of that scale without anybody leaking the plans. Now, were the london subway bombings, the train spain, and the guy with the bomb in his shoe all the US government? I believe not. The 9/11 conspiracy theorists all argue different things. The government released the tapes from when the plane hit the pentagon that they confiscated.

    Dear Omega,

    I know who I am. I am not attributing deaths to a Government conspiracy but a neo-conservative conspiracy that preceeded GW Bush's election.

    Realise if you are going to be offended by other peoples beliefs then your life is going to be a nasty rocky road of confrontation.

    Several of the alleged hijackers were trained in US military bases, three more lived in the house of an FBI informant and three are currently working for Saudi Airlines as pilots - these are established facts. Nothing to do with belief.

    These facts and others make me and millions of other people
    believe this was a false-flag operation. We may be wrong or may be right.

    I wonder what would be more sickening to you - this being a Government op or people being mistaken in their views?

    Of course - if we were right that is more sickening. But it's much more cosy to believe we are wrong.

    Best,

    Matthew

    There have been plenty of leaks and on Sep 12th Rumsfeld needed to go on national TV to warn US defence staff not to whistleblow. The patriot act was written before 9/11. Both the Madrid train Bombings and London bombings were probably the work of copycat extremeists. The shoe bomber was just a plain old fruitcake.

    I was unaware the government released the tapes. Have you a link?

    I'm not easily offended to be honest, but there's a few things, like people calling 9/11 an inside job, that piss me off.

    Please, though, show me where you're getting your "facts". I'd very much like to know what information I've supposedly missed out on.

    I will happily give you links. Will you examine the material with an open mind? You might learn something that will surprise you. You'll need a few hours free.

    I always try to examine data with an open mind. Whether or not it changes my stance is another story, but I'm not going to just shoot it down based on what I already believe.

    Omega,

    My intention is not to convince of conspiracy but to show you there are good reasons to question the official story. I am uploading the best evidential documentary I have at the moment to my server and will post a streaming link to it when done.

    It is full of interviews with serious sensible people.
