Chart: How Booz Allen Hamilton Swallowed Washington

[Ichingcarpenter]

From its origins as a management consulting firm, Booz Allen has quietly grown into a governmentwide contracting behemoth, fed by ballooning post-Sept. 11 intelligence budgets and Washington’s increasing reliance on outsourcing.

3. Booz Allen.

Exactly what I have been saying in all my posts. Spy agency for hire. No patriotism, no principles, only $$$$. And when someone comes along and gives them more $$$$ all our secrets go along with them if they are not already selling them.

And everyone's undies are in a knot about our constitutional rights. Think about the corporate espionage they are most likely doing for the Koch brothers, for GE, for big oil, big ag, and big pharma. What innovations that we deserve as Americans have been thwarted by this corporate espionage. Better food, better energy sources, better and cheaper medications. And the list goes on.

5. U.S. Agencies Said to Swap Data With Thousands of Firms

Thousands of technology, finance and manufacturing companies are working closely with U.S. national security agencies, providing sensitive information and in return receiving benefits that include access to classified intelligence, four people familiar with the process said.

These programs, whose participants are known as trusted partners, extend far beyond what was revealed by Edward Snowden, a computer technician who did work for the National Security Agency. The role of private companies has come under intense scrutiny since his disclosure this month that the NSA is collecting millions of U.S. residents’ telephone records and the computer communications of foreigners from Google Inc (GOOG). and other Internet companies under court order.

Many of these same Internet and telecommunications companies voluntarily provide U.S. intelligence organizations with additional data, such as equipment specifications, that don’t involve private communications of their customers,

a whole other problem. What with all these companies working so close with our "protectors". I know the surveillance communities are linked with several other countries, and then exchange data. One country spies on us, we spy on another and on down the line. And then the official language can be that we are spying not on our own people. Someone turned me on to ECHELON. Just do a Wiki search and see what that is all about.

4. Sounds like we got bamboozled

7. Sadlly,

I think you are correct. And I will stop there or this post of mine will never stop.

[Jackpine Radical]

8. Wow. It just keeps growing.

A Whole Lot of shit is unraveling. Be interesting to watch the Corporate State swing into damage-control mode.

What they need is a major distraction.

A nice little war somewhere in the Middle East, anyone?

11. It is in the OP.

10. Is Poppy Bush still on the board of the Carlyle Group?

I guess he no longer needs to receive his daily security briefings from government employees as he can just get directly them from his Booz employees. Maybe he gets both.

I read somewhere during Bush Junior's tenure that his father was the only former President who had continued the practice for such a length of time.

I always assumed it had more to do with making money than concern for national security.

13. Hey conservatives keep cutting the number and pay of government

and it just hires private at greater costs and less security.

[atreides1]

21. It's their policy

Smaller government...if they would get off their knees and use their heads for something besides a hatrack they would see that opening up these positions for government employees would in the long term cost less then what's being paid now.

[DURHAM D]

15. I would like to know

if they have cost plus contracts or fixed rate. My guess is that they are cost plus and they are not audited.

[DURHAM D]

20. Yes.

It is time for women to take over and see what they can do to clean it up. At this point I think the country would be very responsive to a female president/v-president ticket.

It is time for Uncle Sam to have a sex change to Aunt Samantha.

[atreides1]

23. Depends on the contract

From my understanding the government contracts list a price and the number of personnel needed...if a contract is for 2 million and they need 5 bodies, the company gets 1.5 million and the personnel are paid with what remains...but that also covers medical insurance, and other employee "perks"!

I would suggest that anyone who wants to see what the pay range is for intel personnel that work for the government...go to USAJobs.gov, and just look at some of the intel positions...you'll find that they pay about the same rate that many contractors are getting.
