If Echelon or Magic Lantern is listening to my tirades,since I am a patriot who loves my country, these cynical Benedict Arnolds laughing their fannies off at my naivite.
It is more about corporations and profits. Our intelligence agencies can't protect you in the friendly skies but get on those planes anyway...what can you do for your country..keep the bottom line up for those airlines, even though you are risking your patoot every time you take a trip.
Clinton was the most venal money grubber. Every time you thought something was done for national security; you were misled. He would sell the gold in his dying grandmother's teeth to the highest bidder. IMO.
Those FBI agents who infiltrated patriotic Bubba organizations knew there was no threat. It was a cynical operation to fix blame so you would not see the real action...the crooks under your nose.
Now the Triads and the Mafiya are calling the shots and our leaders are as scared as we are.(Don't Clinton and Lady Macbeth look relaxed though?)
