    ::sigh::

    The fact that someone has worked for the gov’t in the past does not prove in any way, shape, or form, that a particular company is controlled by the gov’t. My ex-spouse used to work for the US State Dept, and now is an accountant at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd; does that mean that Deloitte is a US gov’t asset? I have an uncle that was in the diplomatic corps, and now owns his own business; is his business directly controlled by the US gov’t too?

    Roughly 3M people are directly employed by the US fed. gov’t at any given time, in a national of roughly 345M people. So no, it’s not that unexpected that someone with high level management experience would also end up working as a high-level manager at corporation after they left gov’t service. (And why would someone leave the gov’t? Because when you compare pay rates for comparable levels of responsibility, the gov’t always comes out far behind.)

    This is basic media literacy stuff.

      You lack a basic understanding of how the revolving door works to progress digital censorship. And we’re not talking about just any government position- these are spooks.

        …Right. And your evidence in these cases, aside from allegations is…?
