Right, that's why I said "very likely" instead of "proven". However, at the point it's pretty clear the tech companies are all competing for pentagon contracts (e.g. Project Maven, JEDI, etc) so the 2013 information has significant potential to be dated. Also, there's these nuggets: https://www.fastcompany.com/40481463/facebook-wants-to-hire-people-with-national-security-clearances https://www.fastcompany.com/40481463/facebook-wants-to-hire-... https://www.rt.com/usa/399256-mattis-amazon-bezos-trump/ https://www.rt.com/usa/399256-mattis-amazon-bezos-trump/ Thinking America's largest monopolies and America's government and foreign policy are at odds over more than superficial things is probably not an accurate view of the world. America uses our corporations to advance nebulously defined "national security interests" and corporations use the government to get rich(er).
