Complete Headline: Thousands Of Firms Trade Confidential Data With The US Government In Exchange For Classified Intelligence
The rabbit hole just got deeper. A whole lot deeper.
On Sunday we predicated that "there's one reason why the administration, James Clapper and the NSA should just keep their mouths shut as the PRISM-gate fallout escalates: with every incremental attempt to refute some previously unknown facet of the US Big Brother state, a new piece of previously unleaked information from the same intelligence organization now scrambling for damage control, emerges and exposes the brand new narrative as yet another lie, forcing even more lies, more retribution against sources, more journalist persecution and so on."
And like a hole that just gets deeper the more you dug and exposes ever more dirt, tonight's installment revealing one more facet of the conversion of a once great republic into a great fascist, "big brother" state, comes from Bloomberg which reports that "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."
The companies extend far wider than the legacy telcos, such as Verizon, that launched the entire NSA-spying scandal a week ago: "Makers of hardware and software, banks, Internet security providers, satellite telecommunications companies and many other companies also participate in the government programs. In some cases, the information gathered may be used not just to defend the nation but to help infiltrate computers of its adversaries."

{The rabbit hole just got deeper. A whole lot deeper.}
“with mother finally ******, and the last fantastic book flung out the tenement window, and the last door closed at 4 AM and the last telephone slammed at the wall in reply and the last furnished room emptied down to the last piece of mental furniture, a yellow paper rose twisted on a wire hanger in the closet, and even that imaginary, nothing but a hopeful little bit of hallucination -——

Crony capitalism at its finest — U.S. government departments and agencies swapping information on rivals and others with selected businesses. WHAT national security?
Snakes are expert at navigating rabbit holes. The spirit invoked in that revised Gadsden banner became more poignant.
There are many Islamists in such telecommunications companies doing exactly the same work that Snowden did (systems administration). And you do know where much of the manufacturing, especially of hardware, is done.
Excellent and deep enough.
Try setting up an Ebay account and asking for them to increase your selling limit from $500 to $5,000.
They limit you initially mitigate your ability to perform any expensive scams.
Let’s say you have an item however that you rightfully believe should sell for $4,500.
You have to call Ebay and they perform a very sophisticated and deep background check on you. They will ask you some pretty surprising questions that you don’t think anyone would know and information you had long just about forgot.
If you pass with one score they give you a provisional increase.
If you pass with flying colors you get pretty much what you asked for but, they will watch your every move to ensure you don’t scam their members.
How did they get this info?
Think....
This is not crony capitalism, this is something worse- crony socialism (i.e.: Obammunism)
>> this is something worse- crony socialism
Yes, it’s called fascism — something Hitler embraced.
NSA = No Steenkin’ Accountablity
The rise of mercantilism. Capitalism seems to have had a short life which is a shame. Capitalism put the fruit within everyone’s reach, but the State and its cronies became jealous and greedy.
Ok now we’re in crisis mode.
Did you ever ask yourself the questions, "why," or "how," when you get a particular email, snail mail, or telemarketer call (for example)?
If Orwell was alive today he would say, "I told you so." "You boys are in big trouble."
