American Consequences - August 2019

Amazon has suddenly become the single most dangerous company in American history. It's on the verge of becoming the digital secret- keeper of the Deep State – the modern equivalent of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, with personal files and dirty secrets on thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, or perhaps even ALL Americans.

But this time, it’s controlled by a corporation. And not only has it become powerful and influential in American politics (donating millions to political campaigns), it’s become a power unto itself, mostly thanks to the critical data storage services it provides to America’s defense and intelligence agencies. If all that sounds too depressing and dystopian for you, well... too bad. The Orwellian future is here now. It’s a brave new world already, and it’s far worse than we imagined. You may not want to believe that, but let’s look at the evidence... FROM STOCK MARKET FAVORITE TO DEEP STATE CRONY Amazon is trying to make itself an indispensable cog in the surveillance machinery of the Deep State. Billionaire media titan John Malone, formerly of AT&T, recently described Amazon as a “Death Star” for every industry it touches.

Once it installs itself in Washington as the digital secret-keeper for the U.S. government, Amazon will become the most powerful – and most dangerous – company in American history. Amazon’s growing clout in providing cloud-based storage for the Department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency is a dangerous development. The military- industrial complex has always cooperated closely with the Pentagon to provide weapons for America’s military. But Amazon’s collaboration with the Deep State to provide surveillance tools is on another level altogether. Silicon Valley is collaborating with elements of the Deep State to create a permanent surveillance society in the United States. And Amazon is part of that techno-coup. If you value liberty, the Bill of Rights, and your freedom, then you have a limited amount of time to do something about it. It’s not only your money that’s at stake... It’s your rights and freedom as an American, too.
