Private contractors are getting rich and perpetuating terror at the same time

Seems we've wound ourselves into a massive catch 22. Transparency be damned according to tbtb since its all about protecting us so we don't get to know what they are doing even if it is unconstitutional. And winding it down is not going to be so easy either and that is what we need to think about. As long as there is profit attached to this obscene horror and charade, it will continue around the world. Would love to be introduced to the thinkers who have come up with ideas as to how to unravel the private for profit war and surveillance state we now live in. Any book or videos on the subject?

Meeting the ones who started it, isn't too likely...since most of them are probably dead! Now if you want to be introduced to the ones that keep it going, let me introduce you to Barrack Hussein Obama, and he's just one of many...you'll find them on both sides of the aisle...D or R doesn't make a difference.

Then you should take a tour of the Pentagon...where you'll meet the uniformed thinkers who help to maintain the status quo...mainly because when retirement happens they can find a high paying job working for those same private contractors!

There are more but the few I've pointed out should be a great start on your adventure...have a good trip and let us know what else you find out.
