I am no drone.
I understand the world quite well. I understand a lot of things that can be unsettling to many people. I also know that sometimes you have to take the bad with the good... the 'bend but don't break' philosophy.
With you being a Sailor, I would think that you would appreciate the need to keep some things under wraps... but that is your opinion and you are of course entitled to it.
Honestly, what would me disclosing anything to the public do for the common man and woman? Nothing. I am only one cog in one wheel that powers this massive machine called the US Intelligence community. I know what I need to know to do what I need to do to save, and sometimes take, lives. Trust me, if there were something 'earth-shattering' that were to come to my attention, I'd be hard pressed not to consider warning others about it.
Quite frankly, that spectacular scenario doesn't currently exist.
Shady things happen, but the NSA/CIA/FBI are NOT after any of you. We don't have the time, the funding, and most importantly, the desire to care enough to barge into your private lives for no reason. '
I find it funny how so many people believe that because they are "revolutionary" or "anti-government" that the system is actually using resources to track them.
It is just simply, for 99.999% of ATS members, not true.

I do concur with your post. Many folks wake up, go do 8 hours somewhere to get a check on friday, and wait 2 days before they do it again. It's a viscious circle we hamsters run All of that hype by MSM to shine up your credit, pay highly inflated utility bills and food costs, along with keeping the ends close enough together to manage. But in this context we are discussing how the fed employees are just being 'good drones'. It's unsettling to hear about how there are so many patriots in 'the system' that just 'do their job' each week, when they are the ones that can make the most profound difference. They are in a much better position than you or I to leak intel into the mainstream so we can gut the fed oligarchy like a fish.
I'm prior USN myself and 'once upon a time' I was one of them die hard squids that was itching for something to bomb. I too, was one of them 'nuke em til they glow' drones. While I was in, I had an epiphany, and have not turned back. Once you wake up and see the grand design, there's no going back.

So before you go villifying everything and everyone in the United States government, perhaps you should take a step back, take a deep breath, and realize that there are still amazing, intelligent, patriotic, loyal Americans who work for Uncle Sam and give our all in belief of the Constitution and this nation.
