Fascinating.  But I wonder where the "central facility" is now.  Let me
guess... Reston, Virginia, right?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's
where AOL's "technical facility" is located that cut off all traffic on
their network when it crashed.  That's where the "Internet Society"
referred to in the Friday Sun-Times is based.  That's where two separate
outbreaks of a monkey-specific form of the Ebola virus were used to
select a form as transmissible as influenza which, when recombined with
the human form by USAMRIID, will be 95% lethal to the Earth's
unvaccinated population were done (see "The Hot Zone", Richard Preston). 
That's just within sight of the Washington Monument and on the same
Dulles Toll Road where a Pakistani hero went around shooting CIA agents
caught in gridlock.  If you get my drift.  So I have a feeling this is a
very good guess, though I might be wrong.

That's WWA and MCS sold - who's next?  How can the independent ISP be
allowed to exist?, when all traffic MUST be sent through centralized
ECHELON spying facilities to be traced and tracked, recorded and sorted
for useful financial or political information, and as need be decoded
with keys for the state-mandated encryption loopholes that Louis Freeh
and Gerald Solomon agree they need.

Please, tell me I'm wrong...
