Why do we need these government agencies that murder civil rights leaders and help Mossad traffic children again?

Because someone has to coordinate to let Saudi royal families safely exit nationally closed airspace after 9/11 when 15/19 plane hijackers were from Saudi Arabia!
Can you imagine what might have happened to them if not? Luckily we then started having those same agencies spew stories about WMD that didn’t exist in Iraq so we could fight a proxy war in Iraq.
The US is China’s bitch, Israel’s bitch, Saudi Arabia’s bitch…

Anyone else remember a few years ago when the government was caught performing warrantless searches on America’s phone data and metadata, using direct wiretaps at the phone companies, and it was a huge deal and the whistleblower had to flea the country or face imprisonment? And we all said at that time that the government’s actions were shocking and they had to stop right away, and at first they said they would, but then they never really did?
Yeah, me neither.
RIP, the Constitution. We’ll miss you.

How to become wealthy in America: Drop out of school. Move to San Francisco. Develop an app that takes pictures of people buttholes on the toilet. Sell those pictures to the pentagon and claim it’s for monitoring terrorism. Fire everyone at your business. Sell business to a data collection company based in china. Move to Texas and start a podcast complaining about how LGBTQ rights have lead to the rise in gas prices.

You can’t spoof what cell tower you’re connected to.
