Wow. If you haven’t read the article click on the link already!
Author does a nice job exposing all of the players. Poor leadership has it’s drawbacks. IMHO ” swamp” is an accurate description of the SVP regime. Profiteering runs amuck in the surveillance saints realms as well, meaning private contractors find niches of task specific software specifically developed to overcome normal electronic firewalls meant to protect users machines and networks and sell or lease to gov agents. Like I’ve said many times the sex offender is a convenient scapegoat for unconstitutional establishment behavior, whereby the exception becomes the norm. An effective way to maintain authority is it not?
Wow, that’s a very long article. But it’s definitely a must read. Unfortunately we need our politician’s and general public to also read this. It looks like he did a thorough investigation, however most people were quoted with fake names which makes much of his report not verifiable and deniable for administrators.
That is an excellent, very well-researched article exposing a hideous and shameful blight on justice that most Americans probably know next to nothing about. It needs to be featured on 60 Minutes. It’s a huge story of lies and fraud and anti-American injustice that is costing tax payers millions of dollars per year of unjustified expense to line the pockets of the criminal practitioners and supporters of a predatory psychiatric-industrial complex that preys on the most hidden subset of America’s most hated, as though they were a cash crop to be exploited for profit.
Very well written and researched. It’s a shame that something so grossly expensive and unconstitional will continue on without a challenge just because society doesnt mind the expense as long as the people they loath continue to suffer.
Ironic to me that this is in the headlines here at the same time as Gundy. Amazing what happens even on a small scale of a hospital/prison when the same people make the laws, enforce the laws, and decide guilt as well as profit from all of the above. The definition of tyranny…yet…nothing to stop it and nobody cares to.
Oh man, this is just mind blowing government corruption! How is this not splashed across the front page of the LA Times or 60 Minutes? Instead the headlines are Trump’s late night Twitter tantrums. Jesus.
My one bright spot today, which should have been attending my daughter’s culmination, was that we voters shot down Measure EE, LAUSD’s latest attempt to fund their bloated pensions with our hard earned cash.
Deprive the government of anything and everything you can whenever and wherever you can.
