"The Death Of Snowden"

"Yossarian was cold, too, and shivering uncontrollable. He felt goose pimples clacking all over him as he gazed down despondently at the grim secret Snowden had spilled all over the messy floor. It was easy to read the message in his entrails. Man was matter, that was Snowden’s secret. Drop him out a window and he’ll fall. Set fire to him and he’ll burn. Bury him and he’ll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden’s secret. Ripeness was all."

I dunno, seemed somehow appropriate considering.

Remember too, how Lt. Milo Minderbinder used the 8th Air Force as his own private militia to bomb both sides for his own profit. That's how some of the NSA and CIA contractors operate.

Erik Prince is Lt. Milo Minderbinder. Blackwater and Carlyle Group are M&M Enterprises. They are the NSA and CIA.

Just thought that another apt quote for you.
