    Ebay founder and thus Paypal linked billionaire Pierre Omidyar owns/started The Intercept and possibly even bought the remaining unreleased Snowden documents from Greenwald and Poitras. He also runs one or two NGOs that are very similar to the Open Society Foundations - supporting ostensibly independent journalism projects which never truly criticize or expose the capitalist class.

    Edit: now reading the wiki synopsis on Griffin. The connections between all these programs and people run so deep. As a bit of a space geek it’s always really difficult for me to square that childish wonder of space exploration with how cynical and often outright evil the capitalist aerospace industry is.
