deep state... answerable to no one.

Snowden Reveals First Ever Public Disclosure Of Secret Black Budget Programs – Collective Evolution

[illtaketwoplease]

everything is connected...

Peter Comey is an executive at DLA Piper, the law firm responsible for filing the Clinton Foundation’s taxes. James Comey holds the mortgage for his brother’s mansion, tying a direct financial connection between Comey and the Clinton Foundation while he was investigating Hillary.

Scandalous deep state connection there.

Now lets all remember all the politicians telling us about Comey's integrity. What a joke that was.

this is nothing new here, anyone remember the outrage over the government paying $30,000 for a toilet seat, or $10,000 for a hammer? the money going to black programs has been out there in plain sight for everyone to see, if they would use a little common sense.

and just for the record, it would make it easy for out enemies to look at the US budget and determine what we were spending money on even if the budget just had a line that said "black programs". so they hide the numbers in the cost of other items.

I've said for years that the intel budget SHOULD NOT be secret. That includes black ops too.

I see nothing wrong with black ops; I see nothing wrong with black ops budget; I see nothing wrong with black ops are being kept like a secret.

There are green ops, there are black ops. It is not like it is anything wrong or new.

If I recall correctly it was $2K and the cost was well within what a private company would pay for something like that in the private sector. I believe it was for the B-1, it's a very specific seat to fit a very specific space. You can't buy one at Wal-Mart. The reason for the high cost is there is so few of them made.

This is also why the cost for aircraft and other military hardware can balloon if the projected purchases are cut way short. Each time you build one the cost for R&D is spread more.

That's a separate issue.

Americans should know what we spend.

if americans know what the US government spends, and what it spends on, then the rest of the world will also know.
