They don't care anymore. They used to do everything they could to avoid word getting out in the media about what they're doing.
But sometimes people find out, the news of what they're up to hits the paper, or a paper, there's a bit of outrage, a few letters, some gnashy tweets and blog comments, but nothing really happens, nothing really changes. They don't have to hide anymore. They can do whatever they like, as they've always done of course, but they don't care that you know. Yes, they might not always get away with it, but they're always trying. The odds are in their favour.
You see, when you learn to live without shame, without remorse, then the world is yours for the taking. You simply have to no longer give a fuck what anybody, even your own mother, thinks of you and how you make your millions.
From USA Today :
More than half of the panel members appointed to review the Pentagon's latest four-year strategy blueprint have financial ties to defense contractors with a stake in the planning process, a USA TODAY analysis shows.Congress created the 20-member panel in 2006 to analyze the Defense Department's four-year plan, known as the Quadrennial Defense Review. Lawmakers called for the committee to provide an independent "alternate view" of the Pentagon's plan, which shapes future military policy and spending on weapons and other needs.
Eleven work for defense contractors as employees, consultants or board directors, records show.
This extraordinary US Today story reveals that former National Security advisor Stephen Hadley sits on the board of Raytheon, a defence contractor "which won more than $15.8 billion" in business with the US government in 2009.
But forget about all that. Look over there! A celebrity fucked someone! Wow!.
