Area 51, companies, and the free market, page 1

Just a quick run down: Area 51 is a research facility previously owned by a private corporation, Lockheed. Lockheed sold the facility to the Federal Government in exchange for several million dollars and the right to merge with Martin, forming Lockheed Martin. Lockheed tried something similar when it tried to merge with Northrop, but the government deemed that a monopoly as Lockheed-Northrop would control 25% of the defense market in America. Furthermore, Lockheed was commanded by the federal government to give up a division, L-3. L-3 was the communications division of Lockheed, which also owns MPRI (a Private Military Company, “mercenary trainers”); Lockheed gave it up but asked for a percentage of the profits gained by L-3 as compensation, this was allowed.

Why did I just give you that quick rundown on Lockheed history? Here’s why: Area 51 is guarded by MPRI-trained soldiers, ex-special ops and ex-military police that had further training by a company that trains entire armies for tens of millions of dollars. These guards are employed by the federal government, but the contract pays the company, which pays MPRI for the training. MPRI, being a division of L-3, sends its profits to L-3, which gives a percentage of the profit to Lockheed based upon the initial breakup contract. Lockheed is also paid by the federal government to use their old facility to test their products, so is Northrop and Raytheon, both companies that work jointly with Lockheed on major projects. These companies then, in turn, create amazingly new and complex equipment that they sell to the federal government at ridiculously high prices (F/A-22’s price anyone, how about Northrop’s aircraft carriers?). The government has no choice but to purchase these weapons because Congress learns about them and wants to implement them, but these companies do no release their newest technologies until after the DoD purchases the newly released models. Then the newer technology is released, purchased, and the cycle begins again.

Basically the government pays these corporations to cheat the government out of more money, and the CEOs sleep very well at night (they don’t have a conscience). I learned the aforementioned information from a low ranking executive of Lockheed. This information is not classified, but good luck finding it, the media decided not to reveal much of this, I wonder why… maybe it has something to do with L-3 Communications owning the equipment used by the media, or maybe it has something to do with a nice little conspiracy that is slowly eradicating our minds with useless information? “Paris Hilton sex scandal,” “Brad Pitt and Angie got married,” “Hillary Clinton is running for president,” “iPods are hot, buy one now and listen to music all day so you don’t have to think!” Come on people, the media shows only things that give them a high volume of viewers, not stuff that makes us think, like corporations taking over the country, not that I am opposed to that in anyway, hell, let the free market take over already!

Someday the rest of you will come to realize that all wars are started by the defense industries. Congress does not want to go to war (Unconstitutional, by the way: Article 1 anyone?), but the defense industries, which pretty much own the whole damn planet, pressure Congress into declaring war. This happened in WWI, research that a bit and see what I’m talking about. But this “government control” does not end with the defense industry; oh no, so many other corporations manipulate the corruptible politicians into doing their will, but is it the corporations’ faults, or the politicians’ faults? Perhaps this corruption would not happen if the government just does what it is supposed to do and leave the free market the hell alone!

Free the market, and free us of our slavery!
