Oh u can be sure they've had their hands in this cookie jar before, but this will broadent the use a bit. It's pretty tempting for these guys to spy on their wives and girlfriends or for political purposes like "Enemy of the State" which focused on this nearly 10 years ago. Nothing new here, move along, nothing to discuss here.

This really is just another case of media pandering to the paranoid. These satallite cameras are really of very little to no consequence for typical Americans. Granted, one can't help but feel like "Big Brother" is looking over our shoulders a bit, but these cameras are more of a threat to those in this country with less than reputable intentions. We are already being taped at just about every intersection we walk across, every public building we enter...so be it. Those who have something to hide should worry...those of us who do not, have no fear. This is really no different than any religous person's view that "God is watching."

I'll tell you what I don't like about this, and bear in mind that I proudly consider myself one of those, as infidel_us likes to put it, a bedwetting liberal, although I am a republican...sometimes I feel like the only one. What I don't like is the media trying its best to rouse an already fickle mob of Americans. This is presented as if the Governent is going to be peeking in our bedroom windows, and checking every backyard garden to make sure there''s noweed growing in it. This kind of concern is foolish. These satallites, being rediculously expensive to re-position and maintain, will be looking in on known trouble spots for terrorist types...they will not be hecking to see if you're wearing the same underwear two days in a row.

I bet they've used these "eyes in the skies" before on US targets. Warrentless wire taps, surveillance cameras in public places, and private search engine data perusal...duh...they've used 'em on us.

Big brother is here and he is here to stay.

Good bye sweet America.

With the mercenary Cheney Army outnumbering our own armed forces in Iraq, who is the enemy?

It starts with body fluid testing at work, progresses to satellite surveillance, and ends with implanted chips. It's gradual, and no one notices that an Orwellian future has arrived. Maybe not too alarming, unless you can't trust the government, and with criminals like Cheney in charge, you can't trust the government.

The mainstream media's self-proclaimed "top tier" candidates are united in their CFR membership, while an unwitting public perceives political diversity. The unwitting public has been conditioned to instinctively deny such a mass deception could ever be hidden in plain view. Presidential Candidate & Congressman Ron Paul is the only "top tier" candidate who is not a member of the CFR.

Quigley differs from many of his CFR colleagues in that he believes their plan for a new world order should be more publicly disclosed. In his book Tragedy and Hope, Quigley concedes he is unique among his peers in that he believes the new world order plan of global government's "role in history is significant enough to be known".

As Quigley says, this gives the voters the chance to "throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound of extreme shifts in policy.". Controlling Washington elite allowed private central banks to " dominate the political system... ...and economy of world as a whole" and implement a new system of "feudalist fashion" through "secret agreements".

Big Deal !!
They are not looking for you anyway, besides, there are cameras on almost every street already. More are being added every day so what is one more camera in space gonna matter? Another example of media paranoid reporting.
