(3,596 posts)Our government which is owned by monied interests is using technology and their immense power to monitor everything we do. It wouldn't surprise me if they wouldn't track how many bowel movements I have every day if there was a way for their corporate pay masters to benefit from that information.
We live in a fascist state whether it is DHS spying on those opposed to the pipeline from hell to listening in on our e-mails, phone calls, etc. without any PROBABLE CAUSE.
The concept of probable cause was added to our Constitution by our Founding Fathers because they feared a runaway government that used its powers to benefit itself.
Well now that government and corporate interests are joined (the classic definition of fascism), our government uses its powers to benefit "us".
They could care less about the people of this country. This is all about making money and holding onto and exercising power to beat down the people.
Unfortunately Obama seems to believe in this form of government. He has been at the helm for nearly 5 years and it continues. I understand there are entrenched interests that may be very difficult to dislodge but he doesn't even seem to care.
