In reply to the discussion: Why the Ruling Class is So Upset About Edward Snowden [View all]Wow, I didn't realize I'd posted that much.
"We're a national corporate entity specifically created for the efficient removal of the world's wealth and resources from the hands of the many into the hands of the few."
Nailed it! As are we. I usually try not to post on internal U.S. affairs, but this affects the whole world, imo ... ie., countries in the European Union that have been fighting tooth and nail to keep out GMO's ... knowing that Monsanto is a big player as well as all the other corporations that pretty much run the TPP, how much of the info from this bugging and spying is now in their hands .. do they have certain politicians in the EU sympathetic to their cause they can use? The benefits for these corporations are limitless, and the theory it's being used to 'fight terrorism' imo is as disingenuous as yellowcake was for the invasion of Iraq. Edit history
