The SAIC news was sobering for me. Very. It made me face once again just what we're up against. How thoroughy and completely "they" have infiltrated and populated virtually all key industries and our government.
"They" are the fascists, of course. Some of them know they're fascists, I believe, some of them probably have no clue but do have a vision of what this world should be like that reveals a fascist state. And others are just along for the ride, clueless but thoroughly happy to be involved in whatever it is they're involved in, accruing power and wealth to themselves. NONE OF THEM has any real understanding of or feel for a democratic republic. ALL OF THEM are willing to subvert everything this country has stood stood for in favor of their own personal gain -- power and wealth.
It seems to me that we are literally at the edge of the cliff, tho it's not possible to know for sure how deep the drop is. If "these people" -- SAIC -- are successful at quashing the BBV investigation and revelations, democracy is literally over. Done. UNLESS that drop isn't as steep as it looks from here and there is some other avenue or opportunity that we on this side can use as leverage against total take over.
If anyone's interested in how we got here, I modestly offer a little collection of links that sketch a rough outline (esp. in the first link) along with some details in the other links.
