Private citizen contractors engaged in the theater of battle might seem common place now, thanks to the war on terror, but in reality it’s one of the most transformational changes our Military has ever gone through, and most of us never noticed.

ACT 1: A new once a day drug can help prevent HIV infection, but it’s been announced during a major FDA Spying scandal, plus the biggest threat facing the United States of America, according to Lamar Smith.

ACT 2: How did companies like Blackwater get their start, what major policy changes were put in place to make this legal, and what the future looks like for these companies. We answer those questions, and a lot more.

ACT 3: It’s your feedback, and some of our follow up.

All that and much more, is coming up right now on, Unfilter.

A little reminder “Amendment 1

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
+ Lamar Smith, who is pushing for this new legislation, is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee which (according to his website) \”is the second oldest standing committee in Congress. In the last Congress over one thousand bills and resolutions were referred to the Judiciary Committee on such subjects as terrorism, crime, immigration, bankruptcy, civil liberties, constitutional amendments, and patents and copyrights. Lamar Smith is the first Republican Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from Texas.”

\’\’The greatest threat to America is not necessarily a recession or even another terrorist attack. The greatest threat to America is a liberal media bias.\’\’ – Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX)
