While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the senate commerce committee finishes two days of interrogating Mark Zuckerburg, founder of Facebook, over of his clients personal information that was turned over to Cambridge Analytica to persuade votes to choose a status quo candidate (Republican (socialist/fascist) Donald J. Trump).  At one point during the hearing, Democratic (socialist/fascist) senator C. William Nelson II, of florida sanctimoniously said to Zuckerburg, “If you and other social media companies do not get your act in order, none of us are going to have any privacy anymore.”

       NOTE: CONgress had no right to criticize Zuckerburg, for since – before 9-1-1 (9/11/2001) – it had permitted the National Security Agency to record all the private communications to U.s. subject/enemy/citizens.
