Govt Spying on Americans: Main Core and PROMIS

Salon:
Main Core may be the contemporary incarnation of a government watch list system that was part of a highly classified "Continuity of Government" program created by the Reagan administration to keep the U.S. government functioning in the event of a nuclear attack. Under a 1982 presidential directive, the outbreak of war could trigger the proclamation of martial law nationwide, giving the military the authority to use its domestic database to round up citizens and residents considered to be threats to national security. The emergency measures for domestic security were to be carried out by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Army.


I wrote more about Main Core here.

PROMIS is search software that Mike Ruppert rambled on about quite a bit, in his book "Crossing the Rubicon". Interesting it comes up here in the Salon article-- they say they have the first confirmation that the NSA used PROMIS.
