Border spy towers are a 'bust'

ARIVACA, Ariz. -- Boeing says it still can not make the spy towers at the Arizona border work. The company says it may have to go back to the drawing board and start all over. But what the heck, they've got plenty of taxpayer money to waste, billions of dollars to toy with. Besides, maybe they'll ask some ten-year-olds about the limitations of Wi-Fi in the desert mountains.
Maybe Boeing can find another foreign corporation to give them a hand. Already, the Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems, helping build the "Apartheid Wall" in Palestine, is on contract for Boeing's high tech security fence at the US/Mexico border.
Already, Wackenhut Transportation, owned by G4S, with corporate ownership in England and Denmark, has buses waiting at the Arizona border to deport migrants for profit.
Surely, there are other foreign corporations who would like to profiteer from the "false flag op" at the border, created by television news border hysteria, right wing spin and a healthy dose of secret Bush agenda.
It all happened while America was sleep walking to Wal-Mart. But psst, Americans are waking up.
