In reply to the discussion: Take A Break From The Snowden Drama For A Reminder Of What He's Revealed So Far [View all]Catherina
(35,568 posts)Snowden already encrypted and distributed the files in case anything happens to him. Do you remember what Wikileaks did as an insurance policy a few years ago? It sounded very similar to that.
Even if people in this country choose to go the lazy route and believe the spin, they won't be able to avoid a very rude awakening from the rest of the world. All that market-rigging by companies like Booz Allen Hamilton, "leading provider of management and technology consulting services to the U.S. government in the defense, intelligence and civil markets" is coming to light too. I'm not following that aspect but I think we're headed for a rude awakening.
Here's their "Who We Serve". The foreign business community we compete against, as in Boeing vs Airbus, isn't missing where the Carlyle Group's BAH is getting its*deep expertise* from.
Booz Allens major clients include global corporations in the health, energy, and financial services sectors, as well as nearly all departments and agencies across the U.S. federal government. These clients face a wide range of complex and pressing challenges such as combating global terrorism, improving cyber capabilities, transforming the healthcare system, improving energy usage, and protecting the environment.
To address these challenges, Booz Allen Hamiltons approach is that of a trusted and long-term partner. We deliver objective, trusted advice to our clients via expert analysis rooted in deep domain knowledge and functional expertise. Our collaborative culture also helps ensure the delivery of highly responsive services to clients who must respond to emerging trends, evolving missions, and changing market conditions.

So yeah, we're desperately trying to pump up the volume! Anything to distract from real issues, that could affect real economics, all because of that Trillion dollar monster and its accomplices.
