The Budget Deal Gives the Pentagon Just As Much Money As It Got During the Iraq War

9. Homeland Security and the CIA should be abolished.

Col. Dickerson, Powell's Chief of Staff I believe, has made the case now for the abolishment of that organization, the CIA.

Homeland Security appears to believe that it is the American people who are the enemy. See their contributions to the militarization of the Civilian Police, eg.

The very title of that organization gives me the creeps.

The NSA appears to be working more for Corporations than anything else.

Eg, they were unable to stop the Boston Bombers despite knowing about them, despite warnings from other nations, with all their data collection and storage.

But they do know the spending habits of every American.

All that is needed for a good defense of any country is a strong military AT HOME which is ready to defend the nation WHEN NECESSARY.

There is no way ANY thinking person can believe that invading countries that are not threat to this country, is 'defense'. If anything it exposes this country to more danger.

But we would need a government of the people to get these things straightened out.
