9. And since most of it is now handled by Private Security Corporations, we have no idea how much

of this 'data collection on Americans' has been outsourced.

The real reason why they are so desperate is that they have been cashing in on Terror, justifying the billions of dollars they are pouring into these Private Security Corporations by claiming it's for 'our National Security'. What is becoming more and more clear now is that it was all about money for these Private Security Corporations.

The fear of the public learning that none of this was about terror, that it was a way for them to get their hands on more tax dollars, is what is causing the desperation to hide it from the public.

See how the CEOs of these Private Security Corps walk through the revolving door in and out of our government. We have been punked, for over a decade now.

How many people do you think are involved? (nt) Recursion Jun 2013 #1
