The mysterious agency, much-discussed here on GNN, would allow: "Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip you book and every event you attend - all these transactions and communications will go into what the Defense Department describes as 'a virtual, centralized grand database.'

i suggest trolling through everything IŽve ever written on indymedia, collecting all my pamphlets, looking at my old school reports, health records, letters from the debt-collectors, evicition notices and personal correspondence.
Then you might figure out that IŽm an opinionated egotistical slightly maddened anarchist. Now I donŽt think sticking a finger up my bum will do that.
i would rather you shove your finger up your own arsehole, if you enjoy it so much, and keep your nose out of my buisness.
which can help you trace Ex-cons of the US federal prison service. the USA locks up more of its people than any other state worldwide, it is a prison state. IŽll hunt out the number and affix it later.
