If you have the misfortune to be a proud U.S. citizen, it is nothing more than
your govt. at work against YOU!
see: http://www.thememoryhole.org/policestate/iao-logo.htm
The government’s Information Awareness Office--you know, the Defense agency
that’s running the Total Information Awareness Program, the huge database that
will track everything about everyone in the US and beyond, helmed by convicted
felon John Poindexter--keeps getting more shy. First, the IAO took down the
biographies of its senior staff. (The Memory Hole has mirrored them here.)
Now, the IAO has removed its eye-death-ray logo, which was denounced far and
wide as being Orwellian, Masonic, and just plain creepy as hell.
Above, we’ve archived the logo’s large version. Below, we’ve archived the IAO’s
banner, which used to incorporate the logo but is now quite plain. (The banner
also used to contain the IAO’s slogan, “Scienta est potentia,” which is Latin
for, “Knowledge is power.”)
As I sometimes say, it’s laugh or cry time. I wish I could tell you I made this
logo myself, that it’s all just a bad dream. Sadly, no. Our real lives are
becoming more bizarre than bad fiction.
