60. When few understand, what is more important than witing about this?

Goverment spying has caught near zero terrorists, yet its information is processed and held largely by a few private corporations, SAIC; Booz, Allen, Hamilton; Blackwater...all connected in Washington and on Wall Street.

The top 400 incomes took in more than the bottom 300 million, wars for profit go on in secret around the globe, banksters who looted their institutions and illegally tossed millions from their homes, and the traitors who lied America into war walk free.

If you haven't noticed, it may be because you didn't hear about it on the corporate news. If you did notice and you're criticizing people who have noticed, you probably are in the wrong place.
