Speaker 0 outlines a controversy over data mining and privatized spying. He says the data mine is owned by a company called ChoicePoint, created by Republicans. He asserts they built the database that “knocked off the black voters,” and claims they did so to help elect the president of the United States, with “no bid contracts” totaling over $1,000,000,000 to maintain databases on people.
He alleges that after talking with insiders at the ChoicePoint Corporation, executives, they are “matching your phone numbers, your billing medical records, your voting registration records, your driver's licenses, and their latest thing, your DNA.” He notes that spying on Americans is illegal under the Constitution, and emphasizes that the trick is privatizing the spy function. He argues they set up a private company—describing it as a private FBI, but calling it a private KGB—and that this private company has a large database, “16,000,000,000 records,” believed to be at least double that since then, which would be illegal for the United States government to keep.
According to the speaker, ChoicePoint supposedly keeps the records and then sells that information to the U.S. government secretly. He asserts that when they were supposedly hunting illegal voters in Florida, their list was “97% wrong.” He repeats, “Let me repeat that. 97% wrong.” Yet he claims the list “was perfect for Jeb Bush because what it did get right is it identified black voters, which they could knock off.”
The speaker also alleges problems with DNA evidence: “25% of the DNA evidence in rape cases in Illinois until the police caught them faking the evidence in rape cases,” after which they were fired. He emphasizes that this is not about Mouthis getting their man, but about the Mouthis getting the political targets for their men.
Speaker 1 adds a closing line, saying, “I took over George Orwell's old power. He'd appreciate all this, you know. He'd love it.”
