US gov is no doubt an evil fascist enabling enterprise. Bought and paid for fascist collaborator, Richard Nixon chief among them. We now live in dependent misery more from his policies than anyone. Judging by the unraveling of global trade - now currently underway - the government will be hard pressed to tie their shoe laces here soon enough.
I've read Daniel Ellsberg's book, "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam...", a surprisingly riveting account of getting the Pentagon Papers published. I doubt if today the pussy newspapers would go out on a limb as they did(reluctantly) back in the 70's. If Nixon's spooks were actually competent (?), things would even be worse today. I think they(the spooks) were supposed to be caught to bring down Nixon, which, in fact did happen. Seedy is too nice a term for government actors. The capitalists have become front and center these days. Bezos, Musk, Gates, Koch(s), et. al. Ruthless comes to mind. Peace
Great Gatsby?

Americans should be protesting in support of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. It appears that the American people have lost their souls.
A century of relentless, targeted conditioning can profoundly change a populace.
Great article. We need more people like that

Fantastic piece, Mickey - yes, how the Times have changed! And how the Times has changed!
Thank you, as always, Will! 🙂
Almost always when you are an "enemy of the state' you are actually one of the good guys!
