Compromised: How the National Security State Blackmails the Gov.

[Plucketeer]

4. In trying to wrap my head around all this...

... I start to wonder WHO directed these intrusions and WHAT was their aim in doing so. Heh - as unlikely as it seems - what about the famous moment during the Obama/Romney debates where Mitt stuck his foot in his mouth regarding the labelling of Benghazi as a terrorist event? Maybe the whole thing was staged! Maybe it was scripted that Obama would eventually overcome and serve a second term. What if the current stalemate in congress is JUST an act to sway attentions from Obama's fostering the TPP to fruition. Gotta make it look like Boehner's gang and McConnell's group are dead set against letting this president do much of anything.

Buh - buh - buh - but what 'bout Obamacare? Yeah....... health insurance companies have to be just LIVID over being subsidized with taxpayer money.

But wha' 'bout all the civil rights victories for the LGBT community? Important they are! And I seek not to diminsh ONE iota of what these mean to those of that community. I have a son that is gay. But really - this was bound to come along eventually. And outside of wedding planners and providers of peripherals, I can't see much influence on the economy. Gotta make the military's recruiting efforts easier!

All of that tho - just a purposed distraction. What's really going on here is the transformation - indeed, the DE-gradation of our once prominent place at the head of the economic pack. Tho I haven't espoused it ardently here - my contention for some years now was/is that once the American workforce was thoroughly disheartened - once they were rendered desperate enough to take ANY wages, the ruling elite would triumphantly bring jobs back from overseas and bask in the patriotic glory of it all.

Black hats - white hats - it's all just gray anymore. I don't believe the likes of Warren and Grayson will ever become prevalent in our government. Folks with that sort of brains and integrity are smart enough not to expose themselves to the torment of public service. The spying? It's just to make sure they're all on the same page of the script.
