The Washington Post, who seemingly act as a quasi public relations vehicle for the White House, exposed some deep dark secrets of intelligence operations, including the fact that more than 854,000 people now have security clearance at the highest levels. These are not all military personnel or spooks folks. Many are employees of multinational corporations that earn billions each year. These corporations have a vested interest in controlling the information we see.
With apologies to John Lennon, imagine. Imagine not having access to information from all points of view. Imagine being told what you can write on your blog. Imagine not being able to have a blog. Imagine having to rely on news and information that comes from a small handful of corporate controlled media. Imagine there's no internet. It's easy if you try.
And that's my take.
