FBI Deputizes Business
The politics of fear takes another disturbing turn with the revelation that the FBI and Homeland Security are creating a network of business "mini G men" (called Infraguard) whose job it is to inform the FBI about suspicious activities (including those of "disgruntled" employees) and who in exchange are provided with special information about domestic and foreign activities (terrorist or otherwise) which may threaten their industries.
This information will be provided them prior to informing elected political figures and the general public.
Under martial law, these special members would be able travel in "restricted areas" and bring people in or out. Members report attending meetings where FBI agents informed them that when, not if, martial law is declared, members will be allowed to use lethal force to defend their properties--and will not be prosecuted. This special, new private security service consists of several thousand business people who will have special rights of communication with Federal security agencies, who will be provided with restricted information and who will be able to move freely during martial law and to use lethal force. Infraguard cautions it's members to carefully vet any questions they receive and consider answers so that embarrassment might be avoided.

Eeeek. Thats rather disturbing. I think I'll be staying here, even if Obama wins. Martial law is quite difficult to implement here, all those sheep and hills, you know.
