I consider Karl Rove and John Boehner more traiterous than Snowden.
They are complicit in the'take over'/coup of the Republic , and the creation of the VICHY GOPe

I can’t believe I’m saying this but, “The Industrial Military Complex”, is driven by money as much or more than by defense or ideology.

I really have no interest in conspiracy theories, my interest is in being left alone.

There is very very big money in “DATA” and its analysis.

Traditionally defense contractors have been reactive and provided the technology necessary to complete a mission or need.

These guys are some of the smartest people on the planet and they solve problems like no one else.

When they (the gov’t) run out of “Problems”, it doesn’t change the need of the smart guys to make money. If I ran a drug company I would lobby to have a “condition” re-labeled as a “disease”, only if I had the cure.

I think these “security consultants” are deep in bed with certain established GOP members in order to advance a new concept of “risk” that requires support and of course, funding.

This is very big business.
