Suddenly, where the hell you been? You know, this is what happens SIG when you spend your time posting lies. No wonder this topic seems new to you.

People are now talking about universal surveillance, and cyber-security, although the NSA had been snooping into everyone's business for years. The "deep state" or the "security state" has made its way into to conversation, even if many people still don't think it exists.

Yeah but not because of what you suggest. It’s because the Russians.

The nature of American interests has come into the conversation.

Right, thanks Putin.

Hardly.

I bought an old Ford pick-up for $300 when I was in college. I thought it was so cool, so unique. Funny thing, after I got it and was driving around, I started seeing dozens of others. Where'd they come from? They were always there of course, but my attention was elsewhere.

I'd say Russia is the big new topic, but then of course I would. See how that works?

Ah Russia, where should I begin? Maybe SIG has some insights there.
