Once again duct tape is proven to be the universal problem solver.
Judge Duct Tapes Defendant’s Mouth Shut

Internet brings together Americans against war
By Duncan Campbell
This Saturday hundreds of thousands of Americans will be protesting in the streets against the possibility of war in Iraq and bombarding politicians with their views.

MoveOn was started in 1998 by Joan Blades and Wes Boyd, two software entrepreneurs who, along with friends and family, felt that what they saw as the “continuing obsession” with the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal was damaging the political process, and that it was time to “move on” and away from impeachment. They started the website and used it as a way of reaching people with similar views who would coordinate protests and send their views to politicians and the media. During the impeachment row, they generated more than 250,000 phone calls and 1m emails to Congress.

Powerful New U.S. Intelligence Service (AONN DSI)
I happened to notice your AONN post when researching programs related to highly secret government intelligence operations/ programs and trained government assassins. I did some digging, made some phone calls, conducted some research and discovered some very fascinating facts. AONN under a secret Department of Defense/ Pentagon charter in connection with the Central Intelligence Agency Law Enforcement Group (yes, believe it or not, the CIA has a law enforcement arm/ aspect/ network (even though it is not part of the CIA charter, per se).
