It’s Business As Usual at the CIA
December 11, 2014
Just a day after the CIA report was released, the House cleared the intelligence authorization for fiscal 2015 to fund the CIA and the NSA. The vote was 325-100. The Republican vote was 184-45. The bill originally passed in May by a vote of 345-59. It had to be voted on again because the Senate amended it and passed it by voice vote on the very night the CIA report was released.
The Warfare/National Security state is the biggest danger we face. Republicans are all for it. Ignore their rhetoric about free markets and limited government. They are enemies of freedom.
