Taken from thismodernworld.com :
"Operation TIPS


There's an alarmist article about this in the Sydney Morning Herald, written by a man named Ritt Goldstein who--Criswell predicts!--will be dismissed out of hand many as an America hater due to his biography: an investigative journalist and a former leader in the movement for US law enforcement accountability. He has lived in Sweden since 1997, seeking political asylum there, saying he was the victim of life-threatening assaults in retaliation for his accountability efforts.


So I just thought I'd acknowledge that up front. But let's forget Mr. Goldstein for a moment and look at the government's own description of Operation TIPS:


Operation TIPS - the Terrorism Information and Prevention System - will be a nationwide program giving millions of American truckers, letter carriers, train conductors, ship captains, utility employees, and others a formal way to report suspicious terrorist activity. Operation TIPS, a project of the U.S. Department of Justice, will begin as a pilot program in 10 cities that will be selected.


Operation TIPS, involving 1 million workers in the pilot stage, will be a national reporting system that allows these workers, whose routines make them well-positioned to recognize unusual events, to report suspicious activity. Every participant in this new program will be given an Operation TIPS information sticker to be affixed to the cab of their vehicle or placed in some other public location so that the toll-free reporting number is readily available.


No word as to whether they'll be getting black Nightwatch armbands as well. (Geek reference there--sorry.) "

Creepy indeed.
A circle has no beginning nor end, it just goes on and on never changing. That's the Human nature : if something threatens ME, I'll (or WE'll) react swiftly and thoroughly without asking questions and ignoring your free will, but if something threatens YOU, I don't care a s**t, you're worth nothing.

"The Truth points to itself."
-"What?"
"The Truth points to itself."
-"I don't understand..."
"You will."
"Go now... before it's too late."
