The Eye Is Watching 

By Joe Sansone

In J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastic work of fiction, The Lord Of The Rings, 
the dark lord Sauron, not yet able to maintain a physical form, attempting 
to dominate middle earth, is depicted as an evil eye. Able to penetrate 
time, space, and the human mind, the evil force sought to dominate 
"Middle Earth".

In a bizarre and frightening case of life imitating art, the United 
States defense department has created an office that seeks those same 
limitless powers as Tolkien's dark lord. The Information Awareness 
Office (IAO) seeks what it calls "Total Information Awareness". The 
agency has even adopted the new world order symbol of the pyramid 
with the all knowing eye hovering above it that is seen on the back 
of a one dollar Federal Reserve note. Taking the symbolism a step 
further, the eye casts its rays down upon the planet earth.

Any reasonable American citizen, regardless of political ideology, with 
the exception of pure left wing totalitarians, must find a visit to the 
IAO website a chilling experience. It is like something out of a sci-fi 
horror movie, only, it is real. The agency's web site clearly outlines 
goals for implementing a police state. The IAO mission statement claims 
that it will "counter asymmetric threats by achieving total information 
awareness useful for preemption; national security warning; and national 
security decision making."

How will it counter such threats?  

IAO plans to create a super database of fingerprints, iris and face 
scans, financial information, medical data, and every other thing 
imaginable. The Human Identification At A Distance Program (HumanID) 
seeks to use video surveillance to recognize people by iris, face, and 
gait recognition. Maybe that would explain all the video cameras 
popping up in U.S. cities like those recently installed in Wilmington 
Delaware. The Genoa II program owill develop and deploy cognitive aids 
that allow humans and machines to "think together" in real-time about 
complicated problems. Apparently there are no limits to the agency's 
goals. But, what do you expect from an agency that openly states that 
its main goal is omniscience? In Latin the IAO slogan says that 
knowledge is power.   

Somewhere along the way the Bush administration seems to have lost 
touch with the concept that the power comes from the people through 
elected representatives. The government should not have power over 
the people; the people should have power over the government. What 
possible checks and balances could be put in place to balance this 
out of control military agency? Who could possibly challenge it? 

When describing the threat posed by terrorists the site states, 
"It is difficult to counter the threat that terrorists pose. 
Currently, terrorists are able to move freely throughout the 
world".

(snip snip snip)

Maybe the IAO is to become the 21st century KGB. Invading privacy, 
blackmailing, extorting, and destroying free citizens that resist 
domination. It could even be designed to do so on behalf of an 
institution of world government.  

In any case, this is not a conspiracy theory; the agency exists. It 
is out in the open and clearly stating its purpose, which is to create 
Police State USA.
