”Let me move on to the MITRE Corporation. Good Lord, they were involved in absolutely everything, but what causes me the most consternation is that they’re a nonprofit company and extempt from filing the documents that would reveal where they spend their money. Nevertheless, they are basically a shadow government, involved in absolutely everything. They manage federally funded research and development centers, support the Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts on behalf of the Federal Judiciary, the Centers for Medicare and Medical Services, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Now, anyone that has looked closely into the collapse of the World Trade Towers knows all about NIST and how they published the most ridiculous theories about pancake collapse and free-fall acceleration, all mixed in with their nonsensical gobbeldy-goop that even a junior high student knows is against all laws of physics.” (Loc 1946-1958)
It’s [MITRE] like a revolving door: politicians, government employees and military officers weave in and out of corporations like MITRE. It’s your old-fashioned good old boy network, but these private nonprofit joints allow them to circumvent restrictions they had in the government or military. These people bring their inside knowledge and next thing you know, they are using that knowledge for evil purposes.”
”What do you know about them [Ptech], Gil? Gordon queried. ”Oh, plenty! They’re the guys, along with MITRE, that made it all happen. With that backdoor installed into their stolen PROMIS software, they became like gods. Both Ptech and MITRE, you’ll recall, were working together in the FAA headquarters. Ptech had completely infiltrated all of our national security computer systems, thanks to their inside connections." (Loc 1971-1979)
