The Information Awareness Office
The Information Awareness Office (IAO) was established by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense, in January 2002 to bring together several DARPA projects focused on applying information technology to counter transnational threats to national security. The IAO mission was to "imagine, develop, apply, integrate, demonstrate and transition information technologies, components and prototype, closed-loop, information systems that will counter asymmetric threats by achieving total information awareness".
If you are visiting this site, you have probably received a "Thank you for cooperating ..." note from one of our investigators, or a "Sorry we missed you ..." notice. Thank you for your interest in our new Total Individual Compliance program, or TIC for short. TIC was designed to latch on to every single person in the United States and siphon off all pertinent information regarding their habits, contacts and beliefs to be measured against our ever more accurate profile database to determine their propensity to disobey and monitor them completely 24/7/365 for life and thereafter. We thank you for making our society more safe for everybody. We at TIC have swelled with pride at making America safer for everyone evermore everyday and you are an important part of the team.
Happiness: We're all in it together.
Whether it is examining your bank records, your e-mails, listening in on your phone calls, examining your purchases to what television shows you watch we never rest in protecting you from your neighbors, your family -- even yourself. You can help the Ministry Of Information Awareness section help you to be safe by being suspicious.
Remember suspicion breeds confidence.
Unless you are confident of your co-workers, neighbors and friends you cannot feel safe. So report any hint of suspicious behavior to your local law enforcement at once. It is not just a good idea, it is the law.
Don't suspect a friend, report them.
In these times where disloyal subjects are complaining of weekly increases in grocery prices, new traffic restrictions, increases in their fair share of taxes, shortages in gasoline or safe drinking water, increased working hours or extra jobs they may labor we must remain vigilant for opportunities to educate the subversive. Remember loose talk is noose talk.
Information is your key to prosperity. The better we know you and everyone the more prosperous we all become. Knowledge is power, and only someone as reliable and dependable as your government is capable of wisely managing knowledge.
Knowing where all potential threats to the state are at all times is of utmost importance to us. Some of our proudest accomplishments in achieving this goal in the past few years have included the following categories:
Financial, Identification, Surveillance, Travel, Detention, Interagency Cooperation and a category too hard to classify that we call Miscellaneous.
The overall plan can be summed up in the attached link at the beginning of this sentence.
