Our National Budget is Defense Industry centric. Anyone who thinks that our policy stance is not Defense Industry leaning as a result is not being objective.

Look at it this way; While the majority of humans are pushing to decrease wars and traditional defense spending, the military industrial complex is looking for a way to transition from conventional ordinance revenue streams to digital ordinance revenue streams.

This will be either a long hard transition, or an immediate windfall transition which lets the traditional ordinance stream die over time with a very fast ramp up of digital streams.

This is why we see an uptick in things like Stuxnet, all sorts of hacker claims, wikileaks, Anonymous, etc.

Some are legit, but I withhold judgement on which.

The fact is that there is NO existential physical threat - and that control model is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the illusion.

Thus they need to transition the fear factory to the vector where 30% of the globe is connected.

They have been laying the foundation though for some time with respect to the financial infrastructure. They needed to ensure they had a great number of financial control tools in place prior to 100% online lockdown.

Welcome to the oligarchy's police state.
