Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials.

    Hmmm. Martial law. Concentration camps. The Patriot Act. Do I see a pattern here?

    Per this article, businesses get warnings of terrorists, in some events, even before elected officials, and they are advised to "shoot to kill".

    That's scary as hell, and i am so glad i am retired and no longer in the work force. How would an employer KNOW who is and who isn't a terrorist, and being advised to shoot to kill, and are probably told to shoot first and ask questions later.

    Are we regressing to vigalante days, will everyone have a 6 shooter straped to their legs? Is this where the Bush admin has taken us, back in time? Good Lord!

    "Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security."

    Today, our entire government works for private industry. We the people, are a mere footnote -- a temporary force only needed during election times.

    Wow! This sounds more like the days when people were hauled away and questioned, during J. Edgar Hoovers time in office.

    These people are not true Americans!

    Thanks Mark, great find!

      I would think back further, like to the Third Reich.

      When people start getting hauled away, they ain't coming back...

      And then there are the little seminars for the clergy to teach them how to handle their congregations should martial law be declared. Is there a pattern here? Will we actually have an election or will the current administration crown itself in a program we are all forced to watch? Scary stuff.

      We know we cannot trust the government, the corporations or the media. We need a tea party. NOW!

        Fine, if the government declares martial law, the rules are "shoot to kill".

        My reply: "Those who live by the sword will die by the sword."

        If those are what the rules will be, well, sauce for the goose...

          Are we going to have to have a Revolution?

          Maybe a leaderless revolution that decentralizes power, like the Right staged, but for good instead of evil.

        My God!!! This sounds like the heirarchy of a private gestapo. Those with so much money and power to lose they would do anything to keep it. They have the right to shoot to kill? Then they had better be careful. Once the killing starts it can get downright nasty. A take no prisoners type of situation. This is beyond my understanding of the American way. This is a nightmare come true. They put the corporations above the government and citizens. Greed is winning right now.

        It won't forever though. I have to say I believe God is getting tired of of the stupidity of the leaders right now and those who embrace their folly.

        A little while longer and they will see the light one way or another.

          Truly makes you wonder. I can see the benefit to having the FBI work with private industry but the shoot to kill order does raise eyebrows.

            "Here comes the juggernaut

            Here come The Poisoners

            They choke the life and land

            And rob the joy from us

            Why do they taste of sugar

            Oh, when they're made of money

            Here comes the lamb of God

            And the butcher's boy, Sonny"

              What will it take to prove to people that fascists have gained control of our democracy?

                Further reading on this article will show you that the FBI has OUTSOURCED Martial Law to private companies. The have been given the RIGHT to shoot to kill if their orders aren't followed.

                Now do you understand the definition of FASCISM?
