Corporations spend billions building effective security protocols, but complacency and a desire for efficiency can soon lead to deviations from security protocols that workers gradually become accustomed to. The result is that small but potentially crippling holes develop in even the most effective systems, creating openings for attackers, including, potentially, insiders. Countering the insider threat requires a comprehensive, multi-tiered approach that includes physical controls, software access controls, and software protection/obfuscation.

Redstone Aresenal, eh?

Thoughts of Clippy stepping a nuclear technician through launch sequences.

Comforting.

Not.
(Clippie to doomsday device keeper):

"It appears you are trying to vaporize an entire continent. Would you like some suggestions that may help you?"

However, I personally think the grim reaper would be a better animation for this...someone get MS on the phone...I'll get it straighened out.
Well how many times do I have to tell you guys the Chinese Communist Party (for ever after known as the CCP) is our friends?

Look they share the same business practices, some of our largest businesses are rendering comfort and support to this esteemable regime. They borrow crowd control practices that has been practiced by our government at various times (so a few people get hurt). We too are now using methods they long ago perfected in extracting desired information. Our leaders are as nearly as honest as theirs.

So I ask you: what's not to like?

So repeat after me: The CCP is our friends, the CCP is our friends, the CCP is our friends, the CCP IS OUR FRIENDS, THE CCP ...

Now that wasn't so hard was it?

Now stop trying to learn about freedom (software or otherwise), believe the clap trap the regular media feeds you. Sleep tight.
