And we became a system of confidentiality and unaccountability. And it's a big, massive machine. And a lot of people are paid to keep quiet or to salute whatever the military industrial complex or the intelligence agencies are doing without asking questions. Because when you have one and a half trillion dollars a year spent on that, you're a pretty big business.

they don't they obviously don't do their job but what they do is very interesting our system of government is is actually rather ingenious it's ingenious because you can buy a piece of government at very low cost if the military industrial contractors just buy off a couple committees that's enough because they're the only ones that have responsibility.

If the health insurers just buy off the health committees in the House and the Senate, that's enough.
