I have/had a TS/SCI clearance, poly and all. There IS no big secret. The most troubling thing about the governments programs is how little of a shot the public gives about them.

Just check the John Oliver Edward Snowden interview. It sums up the problem. We don't have the government we need, but fuck if we don't have the one we deserve.

The most striking thing I learned is that the politicians straight up lie on TV and nobody cares. I mean straight up lies they know are lies. Some of them are things journalists have to know, but they just don't give a shit or are told not to report on it.

Every once in a while there will be a leak, like the Benghazi video bullshit. In fact, the Clintons lie a lot. Most of it can't be proven because the information is classified, but they lie.
