Last night, C-SPAN carried a public session from the WEF meeting held last
February in Davos, Switzerland. It looked like a chorus of kinder
gentler totalitarians, fascists, and Big Brothers. Louis Freeh, speaking
in bureaucratese, said it was time to create an international police
force, stamp out uncrackable encryption, and enlist business as allies in
implementing the total surveillance state. Elie Wiesel, guru of Humanism
from Boston U., was more direct and explicitly called for an
international police force to protect us from nuclear terrorists and
other bogeymen.
One bright note: Freeh said a recent poll of interest to his bureau
discovered that 10% of Americans believe the U.S. government was
complicit in the Oklahoma City bombing. Maybe there is hope after all.
