This is Renegade Files Episode 37, The Cyber Industrial Complex 

For years it was rumored in conspiracy theory land that the US government was using modern technologies to illegally spy on free citizens. Edward Snowden proved this to be true, but the ways in which we conduct our daily lives scarcely trembled. 

As information and its access became an increasingly complex spider web, the hacktivist group Anonymous emerged to shed light upon and throw obstacles at some who either hid important information or used it for nefarious purposes.

From the ashes of Anonymous came Barrett Brown, a journalist and computer information expert who dove deep into the connections and activities of computer espionage at the most clandestine levels.

The interconnections of government contractors, lucrative side deals, and wholesale spycraft he discovered have led to the term Cyber-Industrial Complex. 

This is the story of what that nebulous collective seems to be up to, and what you need to know about the possibility for a coming, contrived, Cyber Pandemic Disaster False Flag.
