Edward Snowden & Booz Allen: The National Security of the United States is Drunk

So, this Edward Snowden "I.T.-spy" dude worked for a private company named BOOZ ALLEN (whom I shall refer to from here on out as "Booze" Allen). 

Booze Allen is a 7bn private company that receives millions/billions in US tax payer money for "defense" intelligence. IE: "mining" our data (PRISM/TrailBlazer). *Pause* Perhaps, they could be one of the many companies the CIA is paying right now to read this post on my Facebook? *hi guys!* This situation though with Snowden and Booze is not out of the ordinary. Some experts estimate that 60 to 70% of US Intelligence "gathering" is now outsourced to private companies like Booze. Our govt even admits its upwards of 50%.

Problem #1. 

For-profit private companies (with no real oversight) are controlling our National Security. This should probably trouble you. Why? Well, for one kinda BIG REASON, these companies are not bound by the 4th Amendement of the constitution like the NSA or CIA are supposedly. You know that whole "unreasonable search & seizure" stuff, as well as, "life, liberty, the pursuit." *Cue: Kid Cudi (Steve Aoki remix)*

Problem #2. 

Who are these drunkards? Who is Boozer Allen & associates?

Everyone of these corny TV pundits that we like to watch on MSNBC, FOX, and CNN, were quick to discount Ed Snowden as merely a narcissistic high school dropout, instead of looking at the bigger picture, which is, what he exposed. Some of our congressmen and senators actually appeared as sane voices in the wilderness by asking the important question: how could a guy with 'security guard experience' get a high level spy gig from the NSA, one that paid him close to 200k? *Good question! Nice ties.*

Good question, because Snowden would likely have never gotten the same access had he been working for US intelligence within a government position. That is if he could have even gotten passed the first round of interviews and background checks.

But at Booze Allen it's, "c'mon on in kid! Here's a desk and a computer and an all-access pass to mine data of everyone in 'Merica!"

So, who's calling shots at Booze Allen? Who's the boss? Why are they getting our billions? Are their Boozy programs any good?

Well, for perspective: our nations current Director of National Intelligence appointed by Obama, James Clapper, whom recently condemned the leaks and Snowden, is, wait for it... a former Booze Allen executive!!! Before that he was high level in the Bush administration.

James Woolsey, former head of our CIA, is also, wait for it... YOU GUESSED IT... former VP of Booze Allen.

Indeed, the current senior VP of Booze Allen (Mike McConnell) ... RIGHT AGAIN... the former Director of the NSA!!!!

#Winning

What have we won?

A bunch of bullshit, that's what.

So, when the current head of the NSA (Alexander) sits up there in front of some committee and tells us that these private data-mining programs (that cost us billions) are extremely valuable to our nations defense and says they have helped thwart "dozens" of terror attacks but he cannot sight one example due to "national security" I think we have to ponder... "this m_therfucker" is just lookin' out for his buddies, and waiting his turn to cash in on a cushy executive job or a high paid "consulting" gig once his US intelligence stint has run its course.

This is what Snowden has exposed.

He is not a traitor, nor a hero, as he himself has stated. He may indeed be a narcissist but that's not really relevant. And, who isn't a narcissist these days? *Selfie*

The bottom line is "follow the money."

Corporations and elite wealthy people own our government, our freedom, and our safety.

They bribe (lobby) our politicians to legislate in their favor and we quietly accept it.

Look at Obama, he has spent about half of the past 500 days flying around to fancy dinners to raise millions from rich people to fund the machine for 2014. Its almost as if he's not allowed to not do this. When does he have time to be president?

Look at Romney, who's as shady as they come. Besides his personal belief that we are all worthless bottom feeders, he was at the "quick flip" firm Bain Capital milking the crooked system for billions before his presidential attempt. The same Bain of course that has done extensive business with my favorite shadowy firm, the Carlyle Group. Carlyle, if you don't know is an ultra-connected investment group that started in "Defense" and branched out to coffee & tea, to go along with their missels and bombs, and is now worth like a 175bn. Carlyle, was first spotlighted back in 2001 after 9/11 when it was revealed they were doing business with the Bin Laden family and the Bush's.

But here's the best part. Carlyle, whom does lots of biz with Bain, and of course the US government, is also is the proud majority owner of... wait for it... wait for it...

BOOZe ALLEN.

Crazy Like America: The Naked Guy in the BART Station

I'm not even gonna post the link of the naked guy going crazy in the BART station however I'm sure you can find it pretty easily in your daily feed. But, I do want to say this: this insane man is a metaphor for AMERICA.

"WTF," is right.

This dude lost his mind (and so have we). 

People have been saying that he is clearly on PCP or something extremely mind altering. In the video there's some average lookin' people that try to step in but they can only muster a very average attempt at best to intervene. Most people of course simply just keep on walkin' by like everything is normal but it obviously is not.

The naked man may not only be on a PCP sort of substance, which seemingly gives average people above average bursts of strength, but he also happens to be extremely athletic and skilled in some sort of acrobatics or maybe even martial arts? Judging from his mind-state, his skill set, and his nakedness, I think the comments from people saying they definitely would have kicked his ass are funny and also typical from your average quarterbacks on the couch. In my experience most people do not have an "S" on their chest.

But, as crazy as this dude may seem, how insane are we?

I think this guy really is a metaphor for AMERICA.

We have lost our minds.

And with this mental breakdown we have completely lost our way forward.

We support "Patriot Acts" in the name of freedom which leads to our own Government spying on everything that we do, from reading all of our emails to tapping our phone records, to who knows what other privacies they are in violation of?

We have an omni-corrupted two-party system that is bribed daily by multi-national corporations that make billions off of all of us from this bribery, simultaneously sending jobs overseas, and they often don't even have to pay taxes.

We have an economy and a Government that is literally controlled by massive banks that the politicians have thus designated as "too big to fail," even though upon their imminent failure, WE THE PEOPLE, are told that we have to pay to bail them out because our entire world will collapse if we do not. This impending doom of course is the direct result of our Government not properly regulating the banks in the first place. That is, the same banks that control all of our politicians policies. Make sense?

We also have the LARGEST PRISON POPULATION of any industrialized nation in the world. The majority of these prisoners have been incarcerated for non-violent drug related offenses.

The majority of these men and women in prison of course are brown and black. The result of a corrupted "justice system" that arrests and convicts darker skinned American's (usually from areas with high rates of poverty and violence) at a much higher rate for the same crimes as whites. Of course poor whites are also a victims of this blind system.

But alcohol, cigarettes, and "prescription" drugs are all good and legal.

We also live in a nation where it is now normal if a man walks into a school or a movie theater or a mall and opens fire with semi-automatic riffles and maims and kills large numbers of innocent people. We completely accept this as something we cannot control and place total blame on "crazy people" or "criminals" and do not honestly attempt to adjust policies on gun control or mental health. It now just "is what it is" in America.

Beyond the mass shootings though we have much bigger daily problems with violence. We literally have Americans that live in war zones. From Oakland to Los Angeles to Chicago to Detroit to New York and beyond. People are killed every single day by guns simply because of the neighborhood that they reside. If Tornado alley in Oklahoma is dangerous, try living in any number of inner cities in America for a day. Of course, the devastation from mother earth is quickly met with empathy, and millions of dollars in donations and federal assistance. The violence and the poverty in the ghetto though is mostly unseen and unspoken.

In fact when everyone was fixated on the chase for the two "Boston bombers," over that same 24 hour period, more than a dozen people were shot in several different incidents in south Chicago alone (dozens more nation wide). Of course Barack Obama did not have a press conference for them and the Chicago police even tweeted about sending extra officers to help out in Boston that very same day. This was because "we had been attacked by terrorists" and we were supposedly coming together as a nation, however, meanwhile the body count in the south side of Chicago looked a lot more like Afghanistan than anywhere else in the country.

So, yeah, this dude went crazy in the BART station.

But this nation has gone nuts, too. Totally fuckin' insane nuts, like a naked kung-fu acrobat on PCP kinda crazy. Except this crazy nut with no clothes that I'm talking about is the Emperor who controls world markets, systems of justice, nuclear options, and apparently your email and phone records. And what are we doing to stop it? What are we doing to change it? What can we do to change it? It's a tough question.

Ask yourself this (honestly), if you were in the BART station that day would you have tried to stop this crazy naked guy from assaulting people? Personally, I'm not sure. Maybe I would've, maybe I wouldn't. But, I do know that if others would have joined together to lend a hand I would have been more apt to join in and do something about it as well. If others were paying attention enough and cared enough and were brave enough to help, I know I would have been also. Otherwise we just keep on walkin' by like nuthins happening.

What's that one definition for insanity?

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
