Also, I'm pretty sure Alec isn't the Leader of liberate, but is fully willing to use them to change the mistakes he's made that led to the current future (corporations taking over because things got fucked up with the government). He has a thing for Kiera because Kiera's already been in the past once (Time Paradox!). Escher is probably more interested in keeping the timeline as they don't know what will happen to their company if Alec doesn't do what led to the current future timeline. Kiera's husband could be on either side right now; not enough info to make a guess.
