rhett o rick's JournalThe court hasnt had a chance to rule on what Booz-Allen is doing today. We arent even sure.
We need to find out. Or I guess we could pretend it's ok and concentrate on Snowden.
I dont care about whether the OP is facts or not, because it has nothing to do with the major issue that the Republicans want to hide and Democrats want to investigate.
I dont care if it's a fact that Snowden wears boxers and not briefs. His character has absolutely nothing to do with what we need to be doing now.
Who is collecting personal data on Americans?
How much data is being collected?
What are the sources of the data?
Is all of the data being compiled and analyzed?
Who has access to the data?
Is the FISA court providing honest oversight?
Is Congress providing meaningful oversight?
These are a few of the questions we should be discussing, not what kind of a person Snowden is.
Maybe I miss it, but seems to me that one of the big elephants in the room is Booz-Allen.
Why arent we looking closer at them. It appears that one of their lower level employees had access and stole a very large amount of data. Why did he have unrestricted access? Why has his supervisor not been questioned? Just what is the relationship between Booz-Allen and those that are in charge of our intelligence agencies? Who owns Booz-Allen? Do they do business with foreign governments? Do they store data or just have access?
The American Dream – Used to be an average American family wanted
a 40 hour per week job for the bread winner with two weeks vacation, a couple of kids, a modest house to own in 20 years, money for the kid’s college, and a modest retirement allotment.
That dream started to die in the 1970’s with the rise of the Conservative Conspiracy (please forgive the use of the C-word but it’s true, but that’s another OP).
Today the American dream is to win the lottery and be one of the 1%. One of the beautiful people we are bombarded with every day on Corp-Media.
Lotteries are the most repressive form of taxation. They get their money from those who can least afford it.
The new American dream – If you want to escape poverty, buy a lottery ticket and pray.
