Incorporated: Does Every Company Need its Own CIA?

This
article from Foreign
Policy essentially
proves what many of us have already suspected. The ultimate in
neo-feudalism is when the corporate sector and the government sector
converge, and sadly in these United States this totalitarian marriage
is what now dominates the landscape. This is a very worrying
trend. From Foreign
Policy:
Since
9/11, a quiet intelligence revolution has been brewing inside many of
America’s leading companies. Hotel chains, cruise lines, airlines,
theme parks, banks, chemical companies, consumer products
manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and even tech giants have
been developing in-house intelligence units that look and act a lot
like the CIA.
These
offices are staffed with former CIA, FBI, and military professionals
who have close ties to the U.S. government and conduct global threat
reporting by working through formal channels and informal networks
around the globe. This
is the privatization of American intelligence that you’ve never
heard of. And it’s part of the innovative and growing business of
political risk management.
Since
9/11, the private sector has been filling the gap. In-house
intelligence units are the most pioneering examples, but they have
plenty of company. There are now scores of open-source intelligence
services, analysis shops, and consulting firms led by former
high-level officials with names like Chertoff, Albright, Rice,
Hadley, and Gates.
So
when you think “convergence,” don’t just think about drones and
spooks. There is a burgeoning convergence of intelligence and
business. The
CIA may not be getting into corporate espionage, but American
companies are getting into intelligence. They’re just not talking
about it much.
The
results of the “war on terror” are in. We lost. Our
culture and our economy are now almost entirely gone.
Congratulations.
In
Liberty,
Mike
