If these things don’t scare the crap out of you… you have ice in your veins:
Check this video clip out from You Tube. It is an interview from Amy Goodman from Democracy Now, interviewing Matt Rothschild, the editor of The Progressive, who broke the story of InfraGard, described on it’s own website as “a collaboration for infrastructure protection.”

Who is InfraGard:
InfraGard is a P3 partnership between the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and US Corporations, with 36 chapters in USA since 1996. This organization involves more than 23,000 business executives in USA, which means it is also world wide, because US corporations have branches all over the world. Members are NOT allowed to talk to the news media.

Matthew Rothschild in The Progressive
The FBI Deputizes Business
By Matthew Rothschild, March 2008 Issue
http://www.progressive.org/mag_rothschild0308
One business owner in the United States tells me that InfraGard members are being advised on how to prepare for a martial law situation and what their role might be. He showed me his InfraGard card, with his name and e-mail address on the front, along with the InfraGard logo and its slogan, “Partnership for Protection.” On the back of the card were the emergency numbers that Schneck mentioned. This business owner says he attended a small InfraGard meeting where agents of the FBI and Homeland Security discussed in astonishing detail what InfraGard members may be called upon to do.“The meeting started off innocuously enough, with the speakers talking about corporate espionage,” he says. “From there, it just progressed. All of a sudden we were knee deep in what was expected of us when martial law is declared. We were expected to share all our resources, but in return we’d be given specific benefits.” These included, he says, the ability to travel in restricted areas and to get people out...
But that’s not all...
“Then they said when not if martial law is declared, it was our responsibility to protect our portion of the infrastructure, and if we had to use deadly force to protect it, we couldn’t be prosecuted,” he says...
I was able to confirm that the meeting took place where he said it had, and that the FBI and Homeland Security did make presentations there. One InfraGard member who attended that meeting denies that the subject of lethal force came up. But the whistleblower is 100 percent certain of it. “I have nothing to gain by telling you this, and everything to lose,” he adds. “I’m so nervous about this, and I’m not someone who gets nervous...
The way InfraGard has been set up reads like the development of the Mafia including its “made men” and code of Omerta (silence) especially when it comes to speaking to the media. Rothschild is to be complimented for committing great public journalism in writing this article. I’m sure when martial law is declared in this country, he’s on the A list...
Of course, several such scenarios for a possible declaration of martial law have been discussed here and elsewhere. Anything from another ‘terrorist’ attack to gasoline shortages or financial meltdown could trigger a few strokes of the President’s pen which is all that is needed to place the entire nation under martial law, thanks to several executive orders going back to JFK’s time...
In such a scenario, the government doesn’t have enough soldiers or cops to secure all this vast nation’s infrastructure. You might be thinking of obvious choices like power plants but the story tells us there’s far more included under the rubric of infrastructure...
In any case, this secret Mafia (or Corporate Gestapo, take your pick or make up your own term) of more than 23,000 business executives comes in pretty handy, especially when you let them into the super-secret information channels, make them feel like James Bond and give them ‘license to kill’ authority...
Mussolini may not have actually said ‘fascism should more properly be called corporatism,’ but in practice, the terminology is correct: what we are seeing is the fusion of corporate and government power in an authoritarian state where the average person is automatically suspect...
From their own website:
InfraGard is an association of businesses, academic institutions, state and local law enforcement agencies, and other participants dedicated to sharing information and intelligence to prevent hostile acts against the United States. InfraGard Chapters are geographically linked with FBI Field Office territories… “350 of our nation’s Fortune 500 have a representative in InfraGard.”

National “DNA warehouse” bill passes
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Inc.
Passing the House of Representatives on a voice vote, S. 1858 has been sent to President Bush for signature. The Newborn Genetic Screening bill was passed by the Senate last December. The bill violates the U.S. Constitution and the Nuremberg Code, writes Twila Brase, president of the Citizen’s Council on Health Care (CCHC). “The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research,” she states. “It does not require consent and there are no requirements to inform parents about the warehousing of their child’s DNA for the purpose of genetic research.

Three States Subjected To "Martial Law Sweeps" Local, state police and sheriff's office join feds for "terror" sweeps that result in hundreds of citations for traffic violations.
Steve Watson (Friday, April 18, 2008). Infowars.net
Federal law enforcement agencies co-opted sheriffs offices as well state and local police forces in three states last weekend for a vast round up operation that one sheriff's deputy has described as "martial law training".

Not in Canada you Say:
Homeland Security Canada-style:
From Wikipedia:
In 2003 Canada created a Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness led by Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan. Now of course led by the mental giant, Stockwell (Doris) Day. I’m not sure about all of you, but I sure don’t feel a lot safer with Mr. Day at the helm of our national security.
