subject: Reed Elsevier To Acquire

SA>  GP> Coincidence that this purchase plan comes so soon after a news
SA>  GP> release of an unprecedentedly comprehensive personal information
SA>  GP> database?
SA>
SA> it might be because of concerns about the founder of Seisint, Hank
SA> Asher (not one of my immediate rellies, afaik), of Florida, who
SA> resigned from the board after confirming that he smuggled cocaine
SA> from Colombia to the USA, & was involved in a plot to assassinate
SA> Daniel Ortega in the 1980s. (Who said crime doesn't pay?)

He just openly confirmed such details, eh?

Why would he, in any logic whatsoever, DO such an idiotic & unnecessary thing
(likewise a self-damaging thing to do!)

SA>  GP> It's quite certain that the owners of a database would have free
SA>  GP> access to its contents!
SA>
SA> It would be just as useful for creating a "legend" as for rooting
SA> out "terrorists".

What "legend"?

SA>  GP> It would seem equally certain that there are plenty of backdoor
SA>  GP> accesses built into it so the old owners will never completely lose
SA>  GP> the useful functionality of such tools of power!
SA>
SA> They are all in bed together - Reed Elsevier buys Seisint, which in part
SA> is owned by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, which in turn got
SA> its holding from Accenture (was Andersen Consulting).

Accenture is the one scaring me these days!  They're getting FAR too many gifts
from the Canadian governments!

SA> Very reassuring to know that the "Matrix" was under the
watchful eye of
SA> a drug runner / assassin, another example of the fox guarding the
SA> chookhouse.

Under his watchful eye?  How do you know this drugrunner/assassin isn't simply
another pawn of an even bigger(but less defined) fox?
