It is all that. If we assume that this technolgy is reasonably functional then it continues to compile: call records, financial transactions, email, blog comments, google searches, and the location of your cellphone 24-7-365. The billions we spend annually on black budget operations would indicate some level of return on investment and can be “randomly” tested on demand.

Model the behavior of your targets in your synthetic environment lab and evaluate the ongoing reactions of your 8 million targets for precision and accuracy. Soothe them or incite them at will by managing your messaging via mass media. See how far you can push the public without blowing the party.

You own it so ride it like you stole it. Add enhancements like Nexidia and Narus just for fun. You have the power of the US government to back you up.

Welcome to the machine.

Look if they have 8 million names its the dame problem with the wiretapping, too much noise.

The idea of rounding up 8 million is a bit absurd don’t you think? Who is capable and available to carry out such a task?

What is this quaint “legal” you speak of? I recall the concept, vaguely, from college. But I haven’t seen it much since then.

First of all, is this program even legal?

Second, if it is legal, 8,000,000 baddies is way too many. They’re concerned not just with the generals of the movement, but with the Captains, the lieutenants, the sergeants, and even the corporals. If they are any good at all with their threat analysis, the list of baddies should be less than 1,000, maybe even less than 100.

So this is a program that is WAY out of control. Did anyone even think of the resources it would take to arrest and incarcerate 8,000,000 people?

But I don’t think they want to go there, operationally. Want they want is an excuse to arrest YOU, whenever they want to. If they want to arrest YOU, all they have to do is look you up on the list. Never mind about the other 7,999,999.

This is about massive intimidation.

Seems to have worked pretty well on the Dems.

Man, that Endgame is a beaut! Period of time is 2003-2012

I’ve been ranting about the program by the Bureau of Land Management to “zero-out” the wild horses and burros from the public lands where they are supposed to be protected by law (1971). In my study of the BLM documents, repeatedly I see the word “removal” (the word ‘kill’ is never used); finally came a sheet on ‘methods of removal’ one of which was a bullet to the brain.

So I think we can read kill in this endgame document wherever we see the word ‘removal’.

Here’s the latest report on the DHS website. It seems they have dropped the ENDGAME project name and are now calling it ‘Detention Bedspace Management.’ From the dramatic to the bureaucratic.

Check this out from the DHS website which has an update to the 12-year Project ENDGAME which they say is not meeting its goals due to lack of funding.

Well, if that PDF isn’t a forgery, then the people who brought you Buchenwald would have to admit they’ve been outdone. “Endgame” “Fnal Solution” Why do such clowns always think that eliminating The Other is the be-all and end-all of civilization?

When I first read about Project Endgame, I thought it was someone’s paranoid fantasy. But it’s a 12-year plan of the Office of Detention and Removal under DHS.

It seems to be related to the Continuity Program
