Also in this issue: NSA Surveillance — Treason to the 4th, 5th and 7 Amendments to the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. Plus: Machiavelli’s Ideology of Command; Washington Navy Yard Shootings; Wall Street Pays Petraeus; Hoffman’s “Usury” book reviewed by Economist Anthony Santelli, and more.
