Buried in the work is the over-collection of information, for the sake of data collection, and thus the dehumanization of those being subjected to the suction of intel-gatherers.

I will not comply.

That certainly plays a part in what we have today.

Chalmers Johnson write a book about this: Dismantling the Empire. In it, he discussed the failures of the intelligence agencies. I cannot recall the exact details, but if those in charge were evaluated by the successes, they would have been fired for incompetence.

On the surface, I am inclined to agree. However, we know not of their successes.

Thought provoking piece.

It’s indeed a world of confusion - unfortunately much by design.
