    I was surprised that they let the Prison Break series continue for 5 seasons. Maybe now they wouldn't, people might start saying that The Company is behind the Obama Care mandate.

  2. I have not seen Prison Break, but many of those shows are designed to look for people who are about to break out psychologically speaking. They are targeted.


    In other words, The Company is watching the TV watchers. They are looking for "aberrant" behavior and are targeted for further examination.

  3. The US maintains the illusion that it is a free country. By limiting the information that reaches the television and newspapers.

    "National security" is the knee-jerk code-word used to shut down much horrifying information from reaching the public's eyes and ears.

    The military will take over as they have in many banana republics if they get the chance. Perhaps why David Cameron keeps cutting their budget, as well as pensions and the welfare benefits.

    You don't know any more than what you get from the television and newspapers. Any other "knowledge" of yours is nothing but falsification, speculation or blatant lie.

  6. That is quite a statement.

    Yes, I am capable of learning things in other ways than sitting and watching television. Many others are as well.

    If you want to learn something learn exact sciences that are based on experimental facts and solid evidence, instead of spreading the lies anonymously on the internet.

  8. This thread is about the military. Not science. I am not "anonymous". My name is Andrew Bransford Brown.

    If you'd like to talk about science, feel free to message me. I have some new ideas that explain both relativity and quantum mechanics without contradicting experimental data.

    there is a long article about Snowden in last RS issue. read it. there is a plenty of facts\evidence of how all those agencies are pissing your the money away like there is no tomorrow. you have to understand one thing-how the budget organizations work. the bigger your budget,the more room you have to play with. once you cut a position-you lost the funding for it. and it's a long process to get it back where it was before. it's only one of many problems in EVERY gvt agency\branch etc have in US(and probably in every other country)

    If you are into physics I suggest you stick with it. Politics is a dirty business muddled by ideological motivations, speculations and hearsay and this is quite repulsive for a true scientist.
