From the OP:

And that is what we already are. The apparatus of the state as it is to day, with its unimaginable surveillance capability, militarized police forces at even the lowest level, and a truly dumbfounded public can't do anything but continue along the current path. So what I see as our future is a time when we are entirely ruled by an undergovernment of like-minded corporate captains with a puppet Congress, Court, and White House who's only duty is to propagate the status quo.

And that is what the NSA spying is all about, its what the Patriot Act is all about, its what the utterly unwarranted arming of our civilian police forces is all about, and its what a thousand other similar domestic atrocities are all about too. Its to let more and more fascism creep into our lives and to nip in the bud any resistance to it happening. And you know what the beauty of it is? There is absolutely no way to fight it. It know everything you do, sometimes before you even do it and even if it didn't, the fascist state is like the hydra, cutting of its head has no effect.
