"....The FBI is taking cues from the CIA to recruit thousands of covert informants in the United States as part of a sprawling effort to boost its intelligence capabilities.
According to a recent unclassified report to Congress, the FBI expects its informants to provide secrets about possible terrorists and foreign spies, although some may also be expected to aid with criminal investigations, in the tradition of law enforcement confidential informants. The FBI did not respond to requests for comment on this story...."

Why can't we all just be vigilant? The FBI needs to be "handlers"????

Get all your friends and relatives to join the FBI's 'rat patrol' and then call in all kinds of BS. Call in 'flying saucer' reports, 'arabs' disguised as Klingons and strange people taking pictures of the local firehouse. Just load 'em up with all kinds of $%#^ until they get the news that this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and we don't become finks, rats or snitches. The FBI has a zillion dollar budget and thousands of agents...if they can't do their job they should quit and let someone who can have a crack at it...we shouldn't have to do their work for them. Once you get started on 'denouncing' your neighbors it soon gets out of hand...everyone is denouoncing everyone else...very Stalinist....very un-American!

Enforce penalties. To people like Ron. Where do you live? A big city nowhere near agriculture? I myself live in an agricultural area in Colorado. I have never had a mexican mow my lawn or clean my house. The few hotels I have visited have a mix of people from different cultures working there, so I feel that proves more than just illegals are willing to clean for a living, I myself did many nasty cleaning jobs for years but moved onto something different, they could do the same if they were legal. Their choice to cross the border illegally instead of going through the proper channels to be here legally is the reason they are 'kept down' in crap jobs. I know that becoming a citizen can be difficult and expensive, SO WHAT, it should be, get over it. One problem with some of the farms is that a good portion of the pay is housing. They make 8.50 to 9.00 an hour picking fruit and the cost of housing is included. But, if you don't need housing you aren't given more an hour to adjust for not using their free housing. So essentially you are paid more if you are illegal than if you are not. Show me the fairness in that pay scale! If employers truly fear prosecution and fines it could be a good start to ending the hiring of illegals.

Heil Hitler, and the SS will be coming to get you!
But you think its a good idea!
Well then I say you will get exactly what you deserve! I thought you guys were just asleep, or hypnotised by the garbage coming out of your party!
Now I can see that your brains are the problem! Did all of them atrophy at he same time?This type of thinking is dangerous! Once you give the government this much power, they will never give it back! It is bad enough that they can wiretap your phone without a court order, if they
THINK' you are questionable!
People get arrested every day for things that they haven't done! With this much power, they can arrest you for typing something on here!
But, you think that is all right!
Now, I am scared too, of you!

then they will employ provocateurs to instigate violence then they use that as justification to crack down on peace protests etc. Classic Soviet style governance. that's right wing totalitarian government Stalin and Hitler were flip sides of the same coin. Business loves fascism it is great for business, so as they control more of our system guess what?
Benito Mussolini
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.

As soon as most of the American People accept the fact that those terrorist-folks are playing a different game than we want to play. They want you and all of your family DEAD, DEAD, and DEAD,..and they don't care how they have to do it.
As soon as this finally sneaks into our heads, then and only then will we know how to do whatever has to be done.
And that includes giving up a few of our rights and freedoms.
It's a dirty game out there and they are playing with NO RULES while we, as stupid fools, think there are monitors, referees and umpires watching to ensure that the rules are followed.
Wake Up America. The game is over and it's time to get real.

Afraid? You better be. And if you try to make things better, they will throw you in jail. Don't trust anyone but yourself and God. Don't trust cops, judges, school teachers, ministers, or anyone that has a power of any kind. Set with your back to the wall. You might be able to save yourself if you can see it coming, but count on that either!

No..I don't trust the Government
Yes.. I think an FBI network would benefit the country. It would give them more reliable information... much needed.
I don't think the FBI would be like the KGB..no worries there.

didn't you know that the F,B,I, has had informants for years in every aspect of our lives ? they even have teachers in our schools question our children about what the family talks about , if they have guns, use drugs, fight, and many questions a small child will answer to unknowingly what is going on, I went to the school and raised hell because my daughter was questioned by her teacher and was filling out a form and checking boxes, I was told it was required by the gov, B,S, on this are we Nazi, commie or??
