Jaime,
The first priority of good journalism should be keeping an eye out for propaganda and countering it with hard facts. You’re getting off on a wild goose chase if you’re looking for any sort of Civilian Civil State as right-wingers constantly attempt to portray Obama as stating. The clip was completely taken out of context from one of his election speeches – when you look at the entire speech, he was talking about the Peace Corps. See this authority for the whole story:http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/is_obama_planning_a_gestapo-like_civilian_national.html
Avoid doing any research on YouTube if you can help it….
Secondly – your numbers are wrong. There are about 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies working with the intelligence community (IC) on counter-terrorism post 9/11. Actual building complexes under construction in and around Washington for top-secret intel work after 9/11 totals just 33. I don’t know where you got the number of 3,068 new facilities, but I’d double check your sources.
So, to answer your questions:
Q – Are all these new facilities part of the possible construction civil state that Obama proposed in one of his speeches? here is the source http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwaAVJITx1Y
A- No – because there is no such construction civil state – in his speech he was talking about the Peace Corps.
Q – Is there much more than secret buildings constructed? are they other things that you guys might of noticed that the Washington Post might of not shown?
Q – What key players are part of these secret projects? Any names in particular names, government agencies, private corporations?
A – The core is CIA and NSA, all under the guidance of the DNI. Raytheon, Mitre and many, many other private companies too numerous to list here.
Q – Are all these agencies connected and do they all know other agency plans?
A – Definitely connected through funding channels (DNI mostly manages all of the IC), and private contractor funding filters down from the various IC organizations like CIA, DIA, etc… No – every agency doesn’t know every bit of the other agencies plans because some projects are so highly classified that they have to be compartmentalized and kept classified on a need-to-know basis. Even people within the same agency don’t know about some of the projects that other people are working on.
Q – what site have you guys encountered, that is a top facility?
-Ryan
