The Final Word on Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)

In a recent column by Glenn Greenwald at salon.com, titled, Mike McConnell, the WashPost & the dangers of sleazy corporatism, Glenn explains the seamless movement between the overt American intelligence establishment, and the covert American intelligence establishment which I have come to refer to as the Financial-Intelligence Complex.

(Anyone interested in historicity of this, simply refer to the chapters covering the Kennedy Administration in Richard Parker's outstanding and scholarly biography on John Kenneth Galbraith. Also, any readings on the history of the CIA and NSA should also suffice; as well as any further reading on the background of former Goldman Sachs partner, and board member of many past and present intelligence boards, Stephen Friedman.)

The latest overt public-private partnership is documented in his excellent column.

This is my final post here as I am relocating out of the country (America) and have sold off all my computer equipment and may be without Internet access for some time to come.

Thanks to any and all for their comments over the past years.

A curious interview with Schaprio of SEC:

Nope, ex-pat here I come. (My last comment as the guy just arrived who is buying the PC.)

Laptop power supplies are universal, they will work in any country, just need a plug adapter. Well, good luck!
