Peter Lemkin Wrote:It is certainly not referring to the 'security' or security of the free flow of information necessary in a democracy by the PUBLIC. This is all about the Power Elites maintaining a tight control on information and the Truths they hide behind the smokescreen and hall of mirrors they call [their] 'National Security'. The use of the term 'exceptionally' certainly leads one to posit they are shitting in their pants over the Snowden affair and revelations.
The article I quoted is from 1999 and can definitely not have foreseen the Snowden affair. But surely, the answer would be just the same today.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
