number 4 is Prison Camps
This last January the Army Corps of Engineers gave Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root nearly $400 million to build detention centers in the United States, for the purpose of unspecified "new programs." Of course, the obvious first guess would be that these new programs might involve rounding up Muslims or political dissenters -- I mean, obviously detention facilities are there to hold somebody. I wish I had more to tell you about this, but it's, you know... secret.
Some of the items in this worrying list apply to Australia too.
Why are politicians mostly shallow suck-ups to power who love control so much more than life, freedom, and happiness? Why don't we just vote them out or ignore them till they and their nasty little minions shrivel up and wither away?
