In Snowden's Wake: New Book Examines Needed Intelligence Reforms (Spencer Brignac 7-7-15 Project On

The fact is our "government security state" has run amok since its creation in 1947, especially right here in HOMELAND, INC.

There have never been any substantial "needed intelligence reforms" that both post-Watergate House and Senate Committees (Pike/Church) and many other "officials" before and since called for.

Let's talk about this fact and what we, the people can do regardless of what the national security state criminals maintain, at present.
