… love the lead, “This is at least the third recent incident of a U.S. Postal Service worker stealing valuable mail.”
While Annie Jacobsen is no slouch as a government SHILL, I mean after all she’s right up there in the front row of the second raters with the likes of Leslie Kean, even shills on occasion make a point …
I believe it was in her book The Pentagon’s Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA
she mentions that in one of her interviews for the book with a “former” DARPA employee he mentions that one of DARPA’s biggest concerns at the time he worked there was the loss of the “trust molecule”.
Yes, it should be of major concern, but it obviously isn’t … The GCJ (think HAL from 2001), USAID, and probably every other agency of the government thieving from the people in every possible way imaginable and previously unimaginable (e.g. funding of transgender comics, condoms for the Taliban, and LGBQ xyzabc123 operas).
It occurs to me that even the partial lists of what USAID was funding are showing that this is the opportune time to apply for a grant funding a revival of Springtime for Hitler. Its quite obvious that none of the paperwork is actually being read by anyone before approval. I have great confidence that this funding request would be approved.
