  1. The U.S is an empire. Empires needs to maintain control over their domestic population(so massive domestic digital spy program if every American, constitution be dammed), and observe potential threats from foreign powers(gotta make sure none if that oil in the middle east ever gets pipelines to India and China. Doesn't matter if that would mean cheap easy access to the most valuable resource in world history to 40% of the global population). This speaker is dumb. He has no ides that defense spending is a massive unaccountable subsidy to develop the high tech economy of the future.
