Imagine that you live in a small Iowa town of around 11,000. Just down the street from where you live is a brand new DHS fusion center. The man in the video below is the chairman of the telecommunications commission for your town. He seems like a nice enough guy and probably is, but is he right for that position? Apparently so.
In the video, please go to 1:58 and listen closely until 3:05. Then please skip ahead to 4:51 and listen to the answer.
Again, he seems like a nice dude, but did anything stick out to you in those clips?
As mentioned before, we have a brand new DHS fusion center in town. While I'm not altogether against the concept of these fusion centers, in these current times I'm highly skeptical of the tactics being used to get them built and am wary of the potential for abuse from higher-ups. The telecommunications commission chairman for my town noted on the video that he had no experience or knowledge with telecommunications and eluded to the fact that, due to his appointment to this particular commission, he is directly involved with the higher-ups in operations which would obviously involve the DHS fusion center.
Also, his favorite president is John Adams, so add a bit of the Alien and Sedition Acts to mix.
Patriot Act + New DHS Fusion Center + noob telecommunications commission chairman with no knowledge of telecommunications and a favorite president well-known for his penchant for punishing political dissent = x
What is the value of 'x'?
