    Putting it on personal mobile devices allows it 1) to be more easily exfiltrared to their foreign affiliates, and 2) allows them to get around FOIA. I’m sure most of their actions are being carried out in a similar manner.

      Which is why the entire system needs to be ripped out root and all.

      That being said, it’s a risky gambit and doomed to failure and disaster if nothing is ready to pick up right afterwards.

      So get planning everyone. We need a new system. We need details about who is doing what, why and how.

      As far removed from capitalism as is possible/reasonable would be great.
