So funny...I said that the Cono Sur would pull ambassadors

46. My interest...

concerns the use of the phrase "our interests". Most often, it really means corporate interests, for which I give not a care. If sovereignty stealing trade agreements fall through, then Mr Snowdon has done this country yet another service.

Let the Corporations pay for their own espionage; why should the American tax payer subsidize such activity? Especially when our leaders tell us we have no money for Social Security, National Health care and other social programs. Mussolini said that Fascism should actually be called " Corporatism" because it involves the merger of Government and Business. The whole notion that " American interests " are involved in the spying on other countries is crap. Let the Wealthy fend for themselves.

That is how we should go about it: Let those that benefit from the spying do it themselves. Corporations do not pay their share of taxes and yet we are expected to foot the Bill for the gathering of intel that they can used to expand their profits?
Such subsidies are a basic violation of "Free Trade". Of course, trade agreements have little to do with free trade and everything to do with the usurpation of Sovereignty from the nations involved to corporate " interest ".....
