Pentagon Halts Spy Gaymes

By Andrew Belonsky August 22, 2007 at 12:08pm

Gay activists can breath a little easier. The Pentagon announced yesterday that on September 17th, they will shut down their Threat and Local Observation Notices database.

Since 2004, Washington spooks have been monitoring anti-war activists and other groups ideologically opposed to the Bush administration, including gay groups.

    Now maybe all the gay non-profit web sites will stop getting hits from the domain phx.gbl – aka Phoenix Global Information Systems. the .gbl has raised alot of eyes as there’s no such real internet domain .gbl. .com, .net, .us. all those, yeah.. .gbl isn’t but we know where it’s been tracking back to, eh Phoenix?

    okay, but still understand that Bush already said that he will use the new spy satellites (the ones that can see through bunkers and such) on Americans… in general.

    so whereas gay groups will not be specifically targeted… American citizens as a whole will now being “tapped from above”… and not in a good way.

    (and if you live on the top floor or a house or apartment building, just think of that next time you masturbate)
