How does it feel to be violated, admiral?

The head of the government’s Total Information Awareness project got a taste of his own medicine and will hopefully realize how STUPID this idea is (not only that, but a complete invasion of our privacy). As noted in this Wired News article, the head of the TIA project had all of his information exposed in a SF Weekly column. The information was all public record, so it was perfectly legal what the columnist did, but (hopefully) it will make Poindexter (yes, that is his name) realize that it doesn’t feel all that good to have your privacy violated. From the aforementioned column by Matt Smith:

Optimistically, I dialed John and Linda Poindexter’s number — (301) 424-6613 — at their home at 10 Barrington Fare in Rockville, Md., hoping the good admiral and excused criminal might be able to offer some insight.

Why, for example, is their $269,700 Rockville, Md., house covered with artificial siding, according to Maryland tax records? Shouldn’t a Reagan conspirator be able to afford repainting every seven years? Is the Donald Douglas Poindexter listed in Maryland sex-offender records any relation to the good admiral? What do Tom Maxwell, at 8 Barrington Fare, and James Galvin, at 12 Barrington Fare, think of their spooky neighbor?

According to the Wired article, his phone number, information, address, and even satellite imagery of his home has spread like wildfire over the net (similar to what happened to our spamming friend). Phone-phreaking hackers even supplied details on the Verizon switch serving the admiral’s home so they could play with it as well.

I hope the admiral feels better. I’ve believed my entire life that tax-payer dollars should NOT be going to shmucks like this guy, but that’s another rant, another day.

MONEY HONEY

Hi! My name is George C. Langley
and this is my web page.

How do
you like the name?

Do I mean it?……Of course I do.

No I am not
giving away money.

It’s true,….all that I am going to say.

And
of course,…..most of all!…..it’s totaly legal.

Before you have
finished reading you will probubly
will call this just another “Conspiracy
Theory”.
True it is not going to apply to everybody.
But if it applies to
you it just may change your life.

Let’s get started.

I’m going to jump
to the gist of the matter.

Dig this!….

  • 100thousand x 17-8% = 400thousand
  • 400thousand x 17-8% = 1600thousand
  • 1600thousand x 17-8% = 6400thousand
  • 6400thousand x 17-8% = 25,000thousand
  • 25000thousand x 17-8% = 100,000million
    • Are those numbers what you were expecting?
    • True they are only aproximations. Feel free to correct
      me…..Please!!!

    • But I think you get the idea. That’s the ” Only “reason I stopped.

      All I want you to do is consider the 100thousand as your ” IRA, 401, or CD
      “.

    • The rest is what would happen to it in the next twenty years. If you
      listen to me.

    • Believe it or not all I want you to do is get the money up front; then put
      it in

      a new account. Then repeat every four years. Just keep your damn
      hands off and don’t

      spend any. Oh yeah!!……….when the govt. ask ”
      PAY THE DAMN TAXES “!! Each and

      every time. You’ve got the
      money!!!

    If these numbers interest you read on. You’ve got
    nothing to lose

    The truth is it’s not new. In fact it’s very old. But it is now available to
    you.
    And I do mean you. That is just about anybody and everybody.
    With a
    ” IRA, 401, CD ” that is exactly what you can do with it.
    Basicly they are ”
    Annuities “, that means the money is yours to keep. You
    are free to do
    anything you want with it. Here what you would have done is
    mortgaged it
    more or less. Remember I said it’s not illegal, and I ment it.
    This is what
    the guy on “TV” is trying to get you to do.
    You know the one. The guy whose
    says he wants to give you your
    ” Lotto ” winnings ” up front “. His very last
    words are:
    ” I also do Annuities “. Take his damn money!!!

    You
    heard me say this isn’t new, well think of it like this.

    Back in the fifties this is what you heard them say you would pay an
    accountant or
    a Jew to show you how to do. It’s what the guy did that has
    the wife and kids and a good buisness;
    and a woman on the other side of town
    with a house, a car, and a check every month.
    Cute?……Yes very cute. What
    he did was simply got his retirement up front. But then he
    only put back the
    origional sum and shifted the rest to a new account somewhere. Since
    the
    money appears to be there the wife suspects nothing. And as long as he is
    around to sign off on it
    for the accountant no one might ever know.
    God
    forbid he did it again and again and again. But that is where money can come
    from. All
    you did was use your brain. Your brain is as good as anybody’s;
    hypotheticly. This is ” Enginering ”
    pertinent to money. That’s the word,
    enginering. And you can do it too. All you have to do really is
    be very very
    careful. Don’t embelish or in any way do something that is ” illegal
    “.

    So that’s it.

    Take it and run.

    No I am not
    finished.

    But you may be…… Good luck!!

    So you want a house; fine.
    Let’s go at it.

    Hey this could be the best investment you ever made.
    That’s
    right!…….” Mega wise “. This alone could double your present income in five
    years and forever after.
    So you’ve got the one hundred-thousand up front.
    Now if you don’t want to deal with a mortgage
    just give yourself a budget
    limit of two thirds of the money. The rest will pay off any mortgage
    for the
    necessary five years it will take for the mortgage check to mature in an ” IRA,
    401,or CD.
    I think you can see the patern. Yes!…then you get it up front.
    I told you it’s legal. Check! Please check!
    Now ” PAY THE DAMN MORTGAGE “.
    You noticed the change I hope.
    Yes! Yes! Yes! It is all your’s. And the
    whole thing is legal. That’s right you
    get the house and three times the
    total value of the mortgage check.
    Better you can do this every four years
    for new found income.
    Your present income can have more than doubled; or even
    trebled,
    or more. Once again I imphasize ” PAY THE TAXES ”

    So you just want money.
    Go for it.

    Take the formula for a house; and substitute your whole ” Portfolio “.

    Don’t stop until you achieve your desired new numbers.
    Sure it will take
    time, but you ” will ” change your numbers; and your future.

    P.S. You might….no You will want to get a safe diposit
    box
    Write a letter to yourself telling you all..!!!
    Keep it in the safe
    diposit box. Read it two or three times a year.
    The simple truth is ” we
    forget “.
    And that means you!!
    Oh yes will!!
    It will be the best
    money you ever spent.
    They’re cheap.

    Why did I say this is a conspiracy theory?

    Because it falls into that catagory. I’m outing a genra of
    knowledge that has been considered
    need-to-know; or secrets; or just open
    and out forbiden, for hundreds of years. And for that matter largely still
    is.
    Don’t be supprised you didn’t know. No one does. This is the kind of
    stuff of myth. The kind of myth created by the
    old aristocracies of the
    world. And of course the banking establishment. Computers set the pace for the
    modern
    world. And specificly a new pace when. That’s right they changed
    everything. Or at least they set it up so you can know. In fact you can still
    only know if you are willing to have an open mind. It’s all about a thing called
    ” Dichotomy “. In Latin ” the rule of will “. That is how things have been
    decided by men forever. It started in the caves and persist today. Oh it has
    evolved somewhat. And of course is denied. And modern man prefers to say that it
    is base, brutal, and obsolete. In fact they insist on it. In reality things have
    just changed. And change is realitive. To begin with they wont even admit that
    there is such a thing as ” will “. That is the human will is touted none
    existant. But let me tell you the other version. Let’s talk about a guy named ”
    Caliostro “. That’s right you know the name. He outed the whole thing. He was
    the perfect example and or progdney of the world of ” will “. He was a ”
    mesmeriser “. You know the thing before Hypnosis. His whole power was derived in
    the thing called ” will “. Back then women did herbs and were called witches for
    what they practiced. And men were started early in the art of ” will “. All over
    the world these are what the things called ” comming of age rituals ” are all
    about. Of course all do not succeede, but those that do were called ”
    mesmerisers “. And for a gold coin he will make your pain disappear. It was all
    simply a matter of ” will “. ” Caliostro ” was well documented all across
    Europe, effectualy outing the truthabout “will”. If you are of the open minded
    genra. Today we have computers and a few words that would titilate if you apply;
    ” omnipotentance, and omniscience “. Unfortunatly like the more conventional
    words ” Magic and Will ” these are thouroughly forbiden. And even denied to even
    exist. I won’t go on here. Maybe I’ll write a book. Alright so I’m working on
    it.

    I hope you can get something out of this Web page.
