Private interests like big media use our government as their private, world-wide, gestapo police force. Our government keeps granting itself even more power over us. Our government has methodically set up laws which will prevent any attempts to throw them out of power. The communications of all private citizens are monitored. The Patriot Act allows them to quietly throw citizens who act or speak out against the government in prison without a trial or any other oversight by simply labeling the action a "suspected terrorist act." The person just disappears while friends and family try to figure out what happened. There are many cases where families finally tracked down a missing loved one, falsely rotting in Guantanamo with no trial, and eventually got them released by exposing the government deceit. Big media even tried to get them to officially label piracy as a terrorist act so they wouldn't have to go through embarrassing public trials to jail grandmothers who put a song in a video of their grandchildren dancing. Worst of all, our government is trying to spread our special brand of insanity worldwide by threatening the economies and well-being of every other nation. At some point, we're all going to have to beg a worldwide coalition of nations to intervene on our behalf and remove our government so we can start over. Our government is getting so far out of control that their abuses are making China look like a paradise.
