Silber concludes:
…The intelligence-security industry isn’t
about protecting the United States or you, except for extraordinarily
rare, virtually accidental occurrences ..
>> It’s about wealth and power ..
>> Yet
every politician and every government functionary speaks reverently of
the sacred mission and crucial importance of “intelligence” in the
manner of a syphilitic preacher who clutches a tatty, moth-eaten doll of
the Madonna, which he digitally manipulates by sticking his fingers in
its orifices ..
>> Most people would find his behavior shockingly obscene, if
they noticed it ..
>> But they don’t notice it, so mesmerized are they by
the preacher with his phonily awestruck words about the holy of holies
and the ungraspably noble purpose of his mission ..
>> Even as the
suppurating sores on the preacher’s face ooze blood and pus, his
audience can only gasp,
“We must pay attention to what he says! He wants
only the best for us! He’s trying to save us!”
>> The
>> They want wealth and power, and always more wealth and power ..
>> That’s what “intelligence” and “national security” is about, and nothing else at all ..
>> When you hear Keith Alexander, or James Clapper, or Barack Obama talk about “intelligence” and surveillance, how your lives depend on them, and why you must trust them to protect you if you wish to continue existing at all, think of the preacher ..
>> Think of his open sores, of the blood and pus slowly dribbling down his face ..
All of them are murdering crooks running a racket.
>>They are intent on amassing wealth and power, and they’ve stumbled on a sure-fire way to win the acquiescence, and often the approval, of most people ..
They are driven by the worst of motives, including their maddened knowledge that there will always remain a few people and events that they will be unable to control absolutely.
>>For the rest of us, their noxious games are a sickening display of power at its worst ..
>> For us, on a faster or slower schedule, in ways that are more or less extreme, their lies and machinations are only a Dance of Death ..
>> There is much more in Silber’s essays; go read them all now, if you haven’t done already.
