I was also struck by the fact that he's just got a GED in terms of 'classic education' that should be the slap in the face for young americans. "I got a job as a well paid private contractor, lived in hawaii with a pseudo stripper and then turned into a modern paul revere and fled to russia...all without finishing high school. Don't let them tell you that you can't make it without college"

Wait what? damn i thought he went higher than that in terms of normal education, it really is just a trap.

One summer I caddied at a golf course. One of the members asked me about school. I said that I really didn't like school. I must have said it in a way that I felt ashamed about it, because his response was "That's OK, the [can't remember which position] of the NYT didn't go to college". One of the few members that didn't make me feel like a piece of shit for being a bag holder.

On topic, the thing that shocked me, but shouldn't have, was how deep the rabbit hole goes. I knew from reading "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" that private organizations were involved in government activities. I should have figured that they were in on spying on everyone as well.
