		<description>Mark,

I want to thank you for putting your personal neck out on the line to shine light on these matters, when you could be like most others and just focus on the all mighty dollar.

Back in 2002 I hosted the defacto Homeland Security Venture Forums as a method to dig deep into what was really going on with oil military complex and highest offices of our government. Guests at our conference ranged from the Washington Military Department, Boeing Ventures all the way to the CIA&#039;s Venture Fund -- INQTEL.

I recall a number of TIA (Total Informational Awareness) and NSA projects launched in 2002 that were shocking. However, the &quot;fear, greed curve&quot; enabled these projects to thrive at the time when we were receiving &quot;Orange and Red Level Security Threats&quot;.

The email program that scanned all of our USA civilian emails developed was called something really nasty.. Later it was re-branded to be more palatable to the USA &quot;sheep population&quot;.

Pointdexter was a week away from launching a real NASDAQ style auction where people could place there bets on &quot;security threats&quot; and make real money. Thankfully the project was stopped, only after we burned $7mm in tax dollars.

* Futures Markets Applied to Prediction (FutureMAP) was intended to harness collective intelligence by researching market-based techniques for avoiding surprise and predicting future events. The intent was to explore the feasibility of market-based trading mechanisms to predict political instability, threats to national security, and other major events in the near future.[20]

I thought a lot of these projects were to &quot;far out&quot; to be real, but they were not, they were far too real and being funded. 

I believe in the wrong hands these programs have the potential to segregate voter classes and be used for a massive social network influence generators.  

See for yourself:

Scalable Social Network Analysis

Human Identification at a Distance (HumanID)


At the end of the day, the past administration in my opinion illegally used USA Tax dollars to create programs that were totally against the fundamental rights and freedoms that this country was founded upon.

I have to thank you and others for fighting for this freedom and again for putting your personal brand and business on the line as a platform to make noise when so many others sit on there hands.

I personally do not want to have a chip embeded in my brain in order to remain a &quot;free&quot; citizen. 

Warm Regards, Tim Reha
