Description:
“Could the sprawling surveillance state enable government or its legion of private contractors to abuse their technology and spy upon domestic political targets or judges This is not a far off possibility. Two years ago, a batch of stolen e-mails revealed a plot by a set of three defense contractors (Palantir Technologies, Berico Technologies and HBGary Federal) to target activists, reporters, labor unions and political organizations.

That puts him in the ring with George Soros and a 527 political action group which basically served as a front for the SEIU thugs who ran ACORN. Peter Lewis, one of the 400 richest men in America, is waging his “progressive” war on the free enterprise system with the fruits of capitalism.
Pure Fascism is the marriage of government and business……according to the man who coined the word, Mussolini.
Gee, I thought Fascism was left-wing since Jonah Goldberg is always right.
