Easy Espionage

60 – 70% of the $44+ billion spent on the United State’s most vital intelligence services are outsourced to private companies and contractors.  Some of these contractors are corrupt or have weak internal control systems.

Private contracting firms help monitor all our telephone and email communications. 

If a competitor or foreign government wants your trade secrets, your R & D development plans, your bid details, or any of your confidential communications, all they have to do is hire a well placed private contractor.

The intelligence collection is already done, they just buy access to it.

Contractors move freely between employers. They sell their knowledge, their skills, expertise and services to whoever is willing to pay.

We’re selling the secrets we need to survive and compete successfully in the future.

Do you know of any other major world powers who do this?

Can we be sure of fair and free elections in November if our communications networks are easily compromised?

Plug these leaks, take control of our national intelligence services back from private contractors.
