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!”

>> What the preacher says — what every politician and national security official says on this subject — is a goddamned lie ..

>> The ruling CRIMINALLY INSANE class has figured out yet another way to make a killing, both figuratively and literally ..

>> 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 ..
